Christmas family fun weekend
This is the second year the family has spent our Christmas family fun weekend!! We love the house. It’s big enough for all of us and still small enough for us all to be comfortable and not get lost!! It’s at a great location. Close to beach and shopping. If we ever plan another family vacation to the beach this is the place we would stay!!

Cape May Xmas '23
The owners have done a fabulous job in renovating this property,yet not losing the historic charm. Plenty of space, all updated baths, kitchen, modern appliances - anything you can think of was in this property. Location was fabulous for our annual Christmas stay and proximity to events, shopping and parade was perfect. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect spot for our girls weekend
There were 5 of us, the Whaler’s Cottage was perfect, comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. We’ll appointed kitchen had everything we needed and a large comfortable living room area gave us a spot to chill. Short walk to shops and restaurants on the mall (less than 10 minutes). Will definitely be back.

Another great stay at The Whaler’s Cottage
My family loves coming back every year. Clean, plenty of room, nicely decorated, quiet street, and great customer service by the owners Scott and Rhonda. We love using the complimentary bikes in the shed too.

Great Location
A beautiful house with lovely common spaces for the family to cook, hang out and chill. Bedrooms are on the small side, which is to be expected from an older/Victorian house, but they were clean/comfortable. The house is filled with lots of charming and interesting old collectibles...Always something interesting to look at. AC worked well for interior comfort. We enjoyed the small backyard and adirondack chairs in the front of the house. The house location is excellent...Walking or biking distance to shops, restaurants, and the beach and on a quaint, quiet street 1 block from a park. The park was a perfect place for my teen son to play pick up basketball games with other kids in the area. Scott and his partner were super communicative and responsive hosts and were a pleasure to interact with.
