Great birding spot!
We came to Cape May to go birding, and this was a perfect spot to stay. The deck looked out over open wetlands with a small river running through it. There were tons of birds and even a coyote-at distance. The place was clean and comfortable, easy in and easy out. It was perfect for us and we’d love to stay there again.

Great location in Cape May
This townhouse is in a very quiet neighborhood, but is still within walking distance of the mall and the beaches. We went down for the annual Christmas house tour and this was the perfect location for us. Home was clean and well equipped. We had a slight problem with the heat, but the owner quickly responded to our request for help and solved the problem. Would definitely stay here again.

I had attempted to rent a few years ago. Scheduled wrong date. They were able to rent out my time and gave me back all my money. So when I needed a place this time it was available so I took it. Much appreciated the refund and was able to give it back.

Perfect
The house is lovely and spacious with lots of places to sit and relax. The location is perfect, so close to restaurants and shops as well as the nature preserves. We especially loved watching the birds and the sunset outside on the back deck overlooking a beautiful marsh. Our only glitch was the grill. We had planned to cook our meal on the grill but found it had completely rusted through and was no longer usable. Other than that, the place was super nice and we would stay there again, for sure.

Lovely property!
We stayed here for a weekend in early October and had a wonderful time. It's really nice to sit out on the deck, at all hours, and look over the marsh and see birds, bunnies, etc - very peaceful, and a beautiful sunset! The house had everything we needed and is a short walk or drive to the downtown area. We walked to dinner one night in less than 20 minutes. And we loved Cape May - we'd never been, and it lived up to all our expectations!

All good
Your description was very accurate. Easy to find, easy to park 2 cars. Nice bedrooms, clean bathrooms. Kitchen well stocked. We enjoyed the marsh especially in the morning when the gulls seemed to have a convention there. The pool was great for the kids as they made good use of it. Lot of room to lounge. shade from umbrellas. there were 6 of us. The two children slept in the room with the parents, which worked find for us but maybe not so good if they want more privacy. The grandparents slept in the larger room.
Easy to dispose of trash. We think we kept th 2 kinds separate. We could not find a good broom to sweep us and only discovered the vacuum the day before we left. Also a busted wine opener which we tossed and found the fancy one in a different drawer.
A well designed set of residences that preserve a sense of privacy for all. The ones looking out on the marsh are the best.

403 St. James Place Exceeded Our Expectations
This place has great views with spacious accommodations, location in a quiet neighborhood, and has just about everything you need for your stay! You will save money by cooking some meals in the kitchen, equipped with stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee pot and dishwasher. There is a pool with the perfect water temperature just a short walk away. For those who watch TV, there is one in each bedroom as well as the main living area. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom with shower, too. You can bike to nature preserves, stores, etc. The beach is a mile or less away. You can enjoy meals on the back deck which overlooks a marsh (no houses in sight), equipped with a barbeque grill. Honestly, what more could you ask for?

Nice Change
We have stayed in Cape May every summer for 15 years. We had never ventured to where this property is located. The views in the AM and PM were such a nice change from being right in the middle of town. We rented kayaks from down the road and went through the marsh. We enjoyed so much how it changed from high tide to low tide. The pool was a really nice plus also and Lucky Bones down the road for good food and great service and reservation process. The heart of cape may is SO SO close don't be thrown off by location. We look forward to staying again.

Had a great stay
Booked a last minute vacation to Cape May. Townhouse was close to town, but a little too far to easily walk in.
House was clean. Had great views of the wetlands. House was well equipped with everything we needed. Had a nice stock of beach stuff in the garage. Beach passes for adults was awesome. Lots of seating in living room. Great for everyone in our party to hang out. Bedrooms were nice and beds were conformable.
Townhouse is showing its age a little, but as long as it's clean, I don't mind. We also had some trouble getting the cable on the TV in livingroom to work, but we didn't really come to the beach to watch TV, so that was not an issue.
Bottom line is that we enjoyed our stay a d would rent this house again.

Great for families with small children
My family usually stays closer to the beach but we wanted a place that was small-kid friendly, had amenities the old Victorians usually don’t (A/C, dishwasher, laundry), and greatest for us was use of the community pool. It wasn’t an easy walk to the beach but a short drive and great to have options to go to the beach some days and a very easy pool day others. The place is super clean and comfortable and has a really nice view of the marsh behind with nice sunsets. The house is on a one-way i crowded street which was great for walking and biking with the kids. The kitchen is well stocked with cook and eating ware. And garage has lots of beach items which meant we didn’t have to bring it from home. Would definitely stay again.

Definitely not as clean as expected
This property is decent but nowhere near as clean as it should be. There were flies everywhere the furniture was covered and everything was really damp and old. I guess the proximity to the still water was the problem but there were crumbs under the oven and just in general everything was very old and musty. We actually left the first night because one of our kids had a stomach bug but it was a huge hazard for little ones as there are outlets everywhere and really steep steps. In addition the upstairs was very warm.

A Peaceful Getaway
My family and I were all very impressed with the beautiful sunsets each night. Even the kids were excited to use their binoculars to check out the different types of birds from the back porch. You get the best of both worlds with having close access to the beach while also being located on a convenient and quiet street. There was also a large amount of supplies available including paper products.

Not as Advertised
My wife and I were to visit for 3 days to celebrate our birthdays. We visit Cape May 2-3 times per year. The online presence of this rental looked satisfactory. However,
the photographs of the unit were misleading. The unit is battered looking from the outside and nothing improves inside. The sofa as depicted online has multiple stains. A cheap cover was placed over it. The cover was dirty. The coffee table was marred and deeply scratched. The deck furniture was rusty and corroded. The grille was so corroded that it should be disposed of.
We immediately noted a stank smell throughout the unit. Not surprisingly, we found a sign affixed to the wall in an upstairs bedroom near a walk in closet. The sign reads: "Upon Exiting the Unit Please Leave the Master Close Door Ajar or Open. This Will Help Prevent Stale Air From Developing". Well the entire unit stunk, not just the walk in closet.
The shower walls and faucet were covered with scum. There was mold on the door track. The owner told me that "Cape May has hard water, difficult to clean". Nonsense, I have stayed in Cape May numerous times over the past 27 years and never encountered this.
The owner offered to send the cleaners the next morning. However, I declined because I had already tried to do some cleaning in order to stay the 1st night. Additionally, why bother because he had already told me that nothing could be done about the dirty bathroom.
Interestingly, the owner offered to refund me "the 3 night rental". I assumed that he meant a full refund, The night was getting late so we agreed that my wife and I would reluctantly stay one night, then vacate. Later that evening I received an email that the owner was refunding 2 nights of rental as agreed, but not all the fees, including the cleaning fee. This was unbelievable, especially since a component of the fees was an amount for cleaning! Imagine that, charging me a cleaning fee when the unit was not clean when we entered!
We discussed this through texts and he told me to vacate immediately. It took us 2 hours to find a hotel in town with an opening. The next morning I asked him to, at least, also refund the fee for the night before because we had not stayed any nights. He refused.
I made a claim through my credit card company . The owner apparently said everything was satisfactory. Be careful of who you are dealing with here.
