Charming Cape May home was perfect for our “cousins” weekend. The house had everything our group of 6 needed and was so welcoming and warm. Communicating with the owner was easy and he kept us informed about some outdoor renovations underway (that had no impact on our stay). We would love to go back!

Location was great for exploring Cape May (off season) - we parked our car when we arrived and didn’t need it again until we were leaving! Number of rooms & bathrooms worked well for our group. Open first floor made if easy to converse between kitchen, dining, and relaxing on the sofa.

Lovely house, met all our needs. We only stayed the weekend, but would be a great spot for a week-long stay with a fully stocked kitchen & washer dryer. Wish we’d had time for the bikes and an in-house meal. Quite clean & was more than spacious enough for 8 adults.
