Fabulous stay at The Boat House! This was a āgirlfriends get-awayā, 6 of us have been going away together for 30+ years.The owners were wonderful and the house is gorgeous. It was very clean and well stocked with kitchen items (and toilet paper). The decorating is just beautiful, the beds were very comfortable, good pillows and lovely comforters. Great water pressure in the showers. We were able to take advantage of an āoff seasonā linen package offered by the owners ( very nice quality sheets and towels). The L-shaped wall of windows provided a panoramic view of the boats, dock & water. For me there is nothing more soothing than being near the water. If we hadnāt had so many fun things planned to do in Cape May I would have been content to stay in the house; thatās how lovely it was, and of course, the viewā¦Definitely want to stay here on the next visit to Cape May.

We are regular users of VRBOs for our travels. Christiane and Donald provided the very best example of excellence. We wanted for nothing, receiving more than we expected and found ourselves in a world of marina activity that was interesting and so enjoyable. We would definitely reschedule to experience it all again!

Hello everyone - This review is a bit late. Our family of four stayed at The Boat House Mid-August. We have stayed in Cape May many times, but this was our first time staying in the marina. We are so happy that we made that decision this year because The Boat House did NOT disappoint on so many levels.
First the Owners ā Chris & Don are amazing! They are available when you need them but not intrusive at all. I would come back just to see them again and of course their dog Tiller!.
The house is way more than what the picture show. The dĆ©cor was beautiful ( Great job Chris!), the space was more than ample for the four of us. You literally donāt need to worry about bringing anything extra as the house has all the amenities you need. The wrap around windows showcasing the marina was EVERTHING! Loved waking up to seeing the sunrise and the boats. The spa-ish bathrooms were perfect and the beds were very comfortable.
We used to outdoor deck with awning every morning for coffee and every evening for cocktails! This is the āSpotā ā You see all the activity of the marina, the beautiful boats and if you are looking for great conversation, you will find it here. This is Why we booked. I have to add that you may think its noisy ā but this area has a peaceful way about it, a quiet noise that will relax you.
Walk the dock path - if you are looking for that perfect FB, IG, etcā¦sunset pic, you will get that here. THE most beautiful sunsets! Or you can just sit on your deck with your cocktail and enjoy.
We used the available kayaks many times - Very Safe and easy to get in and out.
We went to the beach every day ā 5 min drive and never had a parking problem. ā Thanks for the ice Chris and Don!
Walking distance to a great breakfast at Salt Water CafƩ, grab a beer and shooters at the Schooner, great dinner at Luck Bones.
Thereās no doubt , we will be back!

Overall nice locationā¦not too far from beachā¦bike there in 5-10 min or short drive. Plenty of space for my family of 5 and it was nice to walk on the marina docks and see the boats and view.

Boathouse totally exceeded our expectations! The pictures don't do the property justice. The interior was upper end coastal and gorgeous. This was not a rental, it was a home!! Well stocked kitchen, thoughtful and comfy interior. Beautiful furniture and great indoor spaces. The location is walkable to many restaurants and sights. Washington Street Mall was walkable as well with a 30 minute stroll along beautiful streets. It was a quick couple minute drive to the beach, 15 minutes to Wildwood, Naval Air Museum, Ferry and plenty of other enjoyable things to do. Best part may be staying at the Mariana and getting to watch the comings and goings of the boats. The sunsets are spectacular!!! Our hosts were pleasant, helpful when needed, and responsive to any questions we had. We certainly would not hesitate to stay at this property again!

Amazing vacation rental!!!
We spent the most amazing week in Cape May at The Boat House in Roseman's Boat Yard! The house is recently renovated and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Decorated by Chris herself in a wonderful beachy decor, the house is exactly how it appears in the pictures and is SO clean! Chris and Don are wonderful and gracious hosts. They are accessible, but not intrusive in any way. The location is peaceful as it is not in a high traffic touristy area. We spent our evenings on the porch relaxing and watching the beautiful sunsets in the marina. Quick drive to downtown Cape May sites and restaurants. Highly recommend this rental! We will definitely be back! Thank you Chris and Don for sharing your lovely home!

Wonderful weekend getaway with family. The house was beautiful and clean and the waterfront views made the weekend extra special. Christiane and Donald were very helpful throughout the weekend and even offered to lend us baby items and even crab traps for the kids. Thanks again!!!

Gorgeous home!
My husband and I stayed at this gorgeous home with our 1 year old daughter and everything was absolutely perfect! Christine even set up a crib and high chair for us. The check in/out process was seamless and our hosts were so sweet and accommodating. Easily 5 stars and we will most definitely be back! Thank you both so much!!

Blew away our expectations!
The views from this property are magical. Once you walk into the living room you are transported to the most relaxing and peaceful oasis. The home has absolutely everything you could need and the Owners were amazing. They were available when needed and left us to enjoy their home when we didn't. I would recommend this home to everyone.

What a beautiful home! Loved being right on the dock of the marina. Very relaxing and quiet, but a short walk in to center of town. The owners were fabulous to work with and very accommodating. Absolutely loved The Boathouse- we will be returning!!!

Great house in Cape May
I would recommend this house to anyone staying in Cape May. First of all, It was impeccably clean. Second, the house looked recently renovated and was fully stocked with nice appliances and kitchenware. Third of all, the hosts were very responsive and nice! A+

Top notch location and accommodations
Location is superb. On the water. Excellent view. Access to the dock for fishing, crabbing, kayaking and paddle boarding. Few easy minutes to the beach. House is fully updated and upscale. Christiane is very responsive and very nice. Entire family was super happy with our stay!

Fantastic! Exceeded my high expectations
Check in was smooth. Christiane met us and went over everything we needed to know. I was traveling with 4 teens looking for a fishing adventure and boy did we find one!
The location was great for what we were looking for. The house is right in the boatyard on the bay. Beach, downtown and pretty much anything else you need are within 5 mile radius. The house is absolutely beautiful. The pictures really don't do it justice. Very nicely remodeled and decorated. Spotless!!!
We quickly learned that the boatyard is a tight knit little community and we were welcomed with open arms. Don, the property owner runs the boatyard and is very informative and helpful with the boys fishing experience. Everyone we came across was nothing but kind.
I even got a paddleboard lesson! Thank you Marty!
We hope to return in the fall!

The house was every bit as nice as the listing. Walking distance to a couple of the most popular restaurants and a short ride to everything else. Already looking to go back next year. Great communication with the hosts. Would highly recommend.

Our happy place!
My husband and I rented The Boathouse for the second time this past weekend and have already booked a third trip for June. We call it āour happy placeā! As soon as we get here we feel at home and totally relaxed. The house is spotless and decorated beautifully. We love enjoying the gorgeous view of the marina and water from the deck and from the living room. Christiane and Donald are amazingly hospitable and even provided us with a portable crib and high chair for our daughter. We canāt wait to go back for a third time!

Our weekend at the Boat House was awesome. Christine was there to greet us and give us a tour to explain everything. The house was nicer than the pictures and very well equipped. It was a very relaxing get away.

Beautiful House on the Bay
Absolutely beautiful, clean, and modern house located on the bay. The check-in process was simple, and everything about the house was perfect. However, if you are looking for a house with more privacy this may not be the property for you since it is located inside of a Marina it does get busy. In addition, the owners are also on the property throughout the day. Although, they were very nice and helpful some may not enjoy feeling as if you are being watched while on vacation. Overall great time was had by all!

Cape May gem!
My family stayed at The Boathouse in the marina and it was one of the best vacations we have had at the Jersey shore! Chrisianne and Don have a lovely home and were so helpful in making our stay enjoyable. The dock was so peaceful and beautifully kept. We loved fishing , kayaking and cooking steamers on the dock as well as watching the magnificent sunsets every night. We canāt wait to come back as we did not want to leave.

Lovely home in family boatyard of Cape May Marina
This is a lovely home along with two other renovated properties since the matriarch of the mulit-generational family lot moved out. Thereās a real community that lives, works and recreates from Rosemanās Boatyard, where the Boat House claims the central position: a beautiful spot right on the dock overlooking the backwaterways of Cape May. Christianne and Donald have impeccable taste and have created a beautiful, comfortable rental home repleat with all the amenities one could want: beach tags for 6, numerous cruiser bikes, 2 kayaks and at least 3 paddle boards. It took a couple days to figure out how the arrangements work, but these are available to the rental family to use along with the supervision and tutalge of Marty, āthe Medical Marvel Manā as we affectionately referred to him. Heās Donaldās bestie and like the first mate of anything needed by guests at the Boatyard, including paddle board lessons & fishing poles for our boys: heās ever generous and attentive.
We were welcomed to enjoy the marina, tour the docks, and make ourselves at home on the boatyard, which we gladly did and thoroughly enjoyed.. While nothing to do with the Boat House directly, multiple surrounding boat and home owners fly Trump flags: there were up to 10 at one count within a .25 mile radius of our location. My family and I are white, and we never felt personally uncomfortable, (politically, another story...) but I feel itās important to note this for families for whom personal comfort and safety in the surrounding location might be impacted.

Great place, great time
This was a wonderfully quaint and different way to spend a beach vacation. The property is part of a working marina with all that entails. We loved the view of the harbor and the comings and goings of various fishing boats. The house was newly renovated and beautifully kept. Owners Chris and Don were easy to work with. I would rent again in a heart beat.

Hidden Gem
An amazing property in a picturesque location made for a terrific long weekend with my sister and our daughters. The inside of the home is as beautiful as the outside. Christianne and Donald have a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We are hoping to stay again next year.

Spectacular location, terrible property manager
The home and location simply could not get any better, but the issue we had was with the property manager. We started off on the wrong foot. After arriving, we realized there was a miscommunication. I was in the wrong here. I thought the home slept 8 people in totally, which it does, but two of those people have to be children. The property manager brought this to my attention via text, but after we reviewed our email exchange we had prior to the start of the vacation, I thought Christiane agreed with me that this was a simple mistake. More issues arose about half way through our week long stay when some of our guests who could only stay for a few days left, and were replaced with other friends for the remainder of the stay (at no point did we ever have more than 8 adults sleeping in the house). Christiane texted me saying we have to meet. Face to face she told me that I was treating her home "like a frat house" and that the age to rent is 28. I'm 34. Everyone in the house was approximately the same age as me, and we're almost all parents. Christiane continued to aggressively berate me, calling me "dishonest" and saying how she should have knew I was going to be trouble when I didn't opt in for property damage protection (which Christiane then made mandatory for me to purchase in order to stay at the location). She also accused me of bringing an air mattress into the home, which we never did. She continually said how we were by far the youngest people that had ever rented the house. The conversation ended by her telling me we needed to exit the house at 8a on our final day, as opposed to the 11a checkout time. Because the property manager owns a few homes in the marina, and works out of the marina, either Christiane or her husband were in close proximity to us the entire vacation. I felt like we were under the microscope the entire time, and found it annoying to have to respond to texts and meet with the property manager when I'm trying to enjoy my vacation. I did not like being spoken to and treated like a child. No parties were being thrown, no loud music was being played. This was a trip for ADULTS seeking some serenity. Our group had a mixed bag of people, and I hate to say this, but texts and 'concern' from Christiane only seemed to pop up when friends of color would arrive. Now here's the kicker... the final text from Christiane... "Merci for leaving our home in wonderful condition! Safe travels, and all the best with your up coming baby".

Amazing!!!!
My husband and I have been bringing our two boys to Cape May since they were babies (now 14, 19) and this was by far our favorite vacation home so far. Chris and her husband Donald are such gracious hosts. The Boat House is so comfortable, you won't want to leave. We fished and crabbed right off the docks, had the chance to talk to the boaters and even got a private paddle board lesson from Marty, a local at the marina. Each morning we had coffee and watched to boats go by. In the evening we saw the most spectacular sunsets from the porch .
The inside of the house was perfectly decorated and appointed. It was hard to eat out because the kitchen was a cooks dream. We especially loved the wine fridge. On a few occasions, Donald set up the outdoor kitchen for us to use and even offered herbs from their herb garden.
If you are looking for a special getaway in Cape May you must stay at The Boat House. It is truly a "hidden gem". We will definitely be returning.

Great Location, Great House

Best vacation ever
The Boat House was wonderful the moment you get there walking through the home. Itās so relaxing and inviting. The owners are very nice people and their attention to detail in this home is wonderful. They are so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this property. We have stayed in other VRBOās and this one takes the cake. Everything you need, just pack your clothes.

Delightful week at the Boat House
My entire family absolutely loved our stay. The house is terrific and the owners, Christiana and Donald, are gracious and accommodating. Gorgeous views. Lots of space and comfortable furniture for relaxing and dinning. Terrific kitchen that is very functional and well equipped - perfect for setting out a take-out buffet or cooking a gourmet meal. Very friendly atmosphere at the marina. More quiet and secluded than you would think.

Boat house Wonderful!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Boat House in Cape May. The owners are great to work with, friendly, hospitable and have wonderful local knowledge of Cape May. The marina setting was outstanding and we were able to paddle, kayak and fish right outside our front door at our convenience. Short drive to beach and everywhere else. Walk to Wawa in the morning for coffee and smell in the sea air! Enjoy your stay!

Wonderful long weekend in The Boat House!
All the reviews we read were spot on - the pictures of The Boat House don't do it justice! This completely renovated home is comfortable, beautifully decorated, very functional, and well situated in the Cape May area - walking distance to some great restaurants, and to the downtown area. Christiane is a wonderful host - she met us and took us on a tour of the house, gave us some great places to go, and was available throughout our stay by text and phone. FYI - this home is located in a marina area, and there is activity going on throughout the day. It didn't bother us in the least - everyone was friendly and we were mostly gone during the day. But if you prefer quiet and secluded, this probably wouldn't be the house for you. We will definitely stay at The Boat House again when we return to Cape May!

This is the perfect home and location for a peaceful & relaxing get-away. We loved it!
Our family was looking for a peaceful and relaxing place to spend some quality time with our ailing parents. We also knew this trip would be the last one we would take as a family, so it was so important for us to find the right house and location. "The Boat House" by far, exceeded all our expectations. The owners, Christaine and Don, were so wonderful and very accommodating. They made us feel right at home and what a lovely home it is! The home is beautifully decorated and the amenities were wonderful. Everything we could possibly need was right at our finger tips. The views from all the windows were breathtaking and the beds were very comfortable. ;) The guys enjoyed fishing from the dock and meeting some of the deck hands who were so helpful and fun. We also enjoyed sitting outside and relaxing, just taking in the beauty that surrounded us! Thank you so much Christaine and Don, for your wonderful hospitality and for making this very special and emotional time with our parents, one we will cherish always and never forget. Looking forward to booking with you again.
Kindly,
The Carnahan & Trautman families. Oct. 2018

Absolutely stunning
This was our first time staying on the Marina side of Cape May. Typically we are always on the Beach end. Our family had an amazing time!! We enjoyed all the wonderful amenities this home had to offer. The kids kayaked and paddle boarded, we had coffee on the porch, laid in the hammock, rode bikes, and grilled out several times! The house is definitely a hidden gem, tucked away, and we immensely enjoyed the serene outdoors while boat and people watching ;) The house itself is impeccable! Beautiful, clean, and amazingly decorated, with every amenity you could need! My kids of 17, 16, 8, and 2 enjoyed every minute of it! They are already asking when can we go back??!! Christiane and her husband are wonderful hosts and made checking in and out a breeze. We can't wait to visit again SOON!
