This was a perfect place for our family gathering for CG graduation. The house was even better than pictured - it was spotlessly clean, the beds were very comfortable, sheets were cotton, and the house was stocked with so many things that made our stay comfortable - and were far Above expectation. The hosts were extremely responsive to any of our questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay - unless of course it could have been warmer so we could have enjoyed their beautiful outdoor space and outdoor activities.

Great stay

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful house! It was very comfortable and provided everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location is great and close to the bay. We loved the screened porch and spent so much time in the pool. We appreciated all the thoughtful touches like the snacks and coffee that were provided. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend.

This property actually looks better than it does in the photographs which is not typical and it looks great in the photographs.. Everything about it is impeccable. And on top of all that there were bonus little treats at the snack bar and in the bathroom which I have never seen anywhere I stayed before. I highly recommend this property

Great home for a family vaca!

We loved Robert and Kathy’s house. It is so well kept and meticulously prepared for every guest. We’ve been renting houses for many years in multiple locations in NY and NJ and this is one of the best we’ve encountered. It is in a quiet neighborhood close to many attractions. Thank you for letting our family enjoy your beautiful house, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing Girls weekend

The home was absolutely beautiful! We were able to enjoy the hot tub, and the coffee/cocktail bar was such a nice touch.. The house was spotless. Although the weather was not great we were able to get in a few walks to the bay and walk the beach. We also spent the an afternoon at the winery, everyone was so nice there and the wine was pretty good!

Wonderful Cape May house and host

We had an amazing stay at Bob and Kathy’s Beach House. We felt very welcomed upon our arrival by the multiple treats left for us by the host. The house was extremely clean and well organized. Everything we needed was included in the house. The backyard provided a wonderfully relaxing environment. The communications with the host were very easy. We’d highly recommend this listing to anyone seeking to stay in Cape May.

Peaceful & Charming Home

We loved our time in what my family has named "The Eldredge Blue Tail." The home is beautiful, peaceful, and so comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the screened in porch. It is an inviting space. Many stories were told over coffee this past week. Everything about the property is lovely. We could not have asked for a better space.

Comfort (despite COVID)

You know traveling for the first time since the pandemic was a bit unnerving but our family was more than ready. Arriving at Bob & Kathy's vacation house, after a 12 hour drive, was so inviting. Not only was the house nearly spotless, they left us welcome gifts. How kind! We felt completely comfortable staying here as it was so clean. The pool was awesome too. Plus it was minimal driving to many areas of interest.

BEST VACATION FAMILY HOME EVER!!!

We waited for a long time to go away with family. This house has every detail you could imagine. Bob and Kathy really know how to impressed and pamper their guest. From the moment you walked in the house you are impressed by their touches of hospitality. From the snack, to the wine, chocolates, nothing was forgotten for house amenities. They get 5 across for everything!!!!! We will be back.

Our happy place!

We have stayed in this property several times over the years, and have loved every minute. It’s truly my kids’ happy place: they absolutely love being able to jump into the pool at any moment, and maybe they get out of it once a week so we can go to the beach :-) The property has everything you could need, although I still overpack every single time. Outside of paper, towels, and toilet paper, I have never had to reach into my own supply because everything is there already. Yet, I still pack it every visit. From cooking implements, to plastic wrap and aluminum foil, to beach, chairs, and toys for the pool, it’s all there. Having the washer dryer is great, as well, as we get to come home without the burden of a ton of laundry to do, and we keep the beach and pool towels clean. We absolutely love the neighborhood, which is quieter, and a bit removed from all the noise and tourists. We also love being close to the bay and the beautiful sunsets. This year, we got to watch the Perseid meteors from the backyard, which is just an amazing memory for us to have. I’ve had a couple of interactions with the owners, and they are lovely people as well – always happy to help if there is an issue, and great at communicating things like pool, maintenance, landscaping, and reminders to put the trash out. All in all, this is just a lovely place. I wish we could stay forever.

A seamless rental experience from start to finish. I can’t say enough good things about the location, kindness of owners and numerous house amenities. I’ve rented annually in Cape May for over 15 years and family agrees this was the best. Hope for a repeat experience next year! Warm regards Karen & Jay Benenson

Wonderful Weekend

I planned a girls weekend and the house truly made the weekend that much better! The house was so clean and homey. The outdoor amenities were wonderful! We used the patio and pool area every day and relaxed in the screened-in patio when it rained. The neighborhood was quiet and a short uber ride to the beautiful downtown area. Such a perfect home away from home!
