This is a great house in a perfect location. House is large with plenty of room for a large group. One word of caution- the stairs to the second floor are very steep and not good for anyone with mobility issues. However, there is a very nice master bedroom with beautiful master bath on the first floor. This is an old house that has been lovingly maintained with original wood floors, woodwork, and exposed brick. The house is well appointed and beautifully decorated. One of the best features is the spacious backyard and deck. If you are traveling with littles, they’ll love the yard. The location is great- close to the Washington Street pedestrian mall, restaurants, bars, miniature golf, beach and the all important Acme. We hope to go back again someday!

The home was decorated well and very comfortable. The kids loved the location because they could walk many places that they usually frequent. Saved a lot of time by not having to drive around looking for a parking spot. We also loved sitting on the large front porch. The check in was very convenient and Holly the realtor was always prompt at returning any texts or calls. Overall it was an amazing place and one we hope to return to in the future.

This house was exactly as advertised if not more. It was immaculately kept with beautiful decor. There were enough rooms for our kids and their friends. Kitchen is spacious and very well stocked. We did not have to buy anything and it felt just like our own home. The house has everything one would need for a short stay. It is well located with a 5 minute walk to the Main Street and 10 minute walk to the beach. The beach box with chairs and umbrellas were also very helpful. The owners were very prompt to replace one of the broken umbrellas. Thanks to the blue cottage we had a great stay in Cape May with our family and friends.

A Gem in Cape May
This property was just perfect for 7 senior ladies for a 5 day stay in Cape May.
Plenty of room for almost all to have their own bedroom, sufficient bathrooms for this many ladies, and a kitchen that was equipped with Everything you could possibly need. We spent. time on the back deck having snacks and cocktails before dinner.
On other days, we sat comfortably on the front porch where the warming rays of the sun kept the chill away in the cooler late afternoon to early evening. It was an easy walk to shopping area, tour operator, and also down to the beach for a walk. Just the perfect location. Loved it all!!

Lovely home!
This house is exactly as described-very comfortable, clean, and nice touches to make us feel comfortable. We had a girls weekend and the location was perfect for access to restaurants, shops, bars, and the ocean. I will definitely check out this property for future rentals!
One thing to note-the stairs are a bit steep (as they often are in old homes). Manageable, but something to note if anyone has trouble with steps

Perfect location ....met all of our needs!
Property was clean, uncluttered, easy to take care of and to clean upon departure. Would definitely seek to rent again! Location was great with proximity to church, mall and beach.

Beautiful Home - Great location
We had a wonderful time at this home! It was the perfect size for our two families. Beautifully decorated and was very clean. It was the perfect distance to walk to the Washington Mall, Acme, Cape May Carriage rides, local restaurants and bike rentals. Despite being a little bit of a hike to get to the beach, it was a lovely walk and we didn't have to drive anywhere the entire week. Would certainly recommend to anyone considering staying here!

Cape May Family Vacation
We had a wonderful stay at this property. We had family members from three families as well as our mother. There was plenty of space for all 11 of us and we all had a bed to sleep in. From the well stocked kitchen, the lovely note and wine left by the owners, the amount of hooks to hang towels, bathing suits, toiletry bags, etc, to the wonderful front porch and back porch and wine fridge, we felt the house was just perfect for us. One of our favorite things to do was to sit on the front porch in the Adirondack chairs as we started our days and ended our days. The two picnic tables and umbrellas on the back porch were a wonderful addition as well. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants or to the Acme, coffee shop, mall, CVS, etc. The owners have put a lot of thought into many details for renters and it was much appreciated. We will definitely be back next year!

WOW! Great House!
We loved our stay here and wished we could've stayed longer! The house is very comfortable, bright, nicely decorated and very well stocked! The kitchen had it all from sharp knives to a well stocked spice cabinet (rare for rentals in my experience.) There were even two crockpots! The grill was clean and worked well. I was initially concerned about the steep staircase that other reviewers mentioned since I was bring 3 children under 3. The owner was super helpful and made sure that we have two baby gates available at the house to use. The staircase is a bit steep but it wasn't a problem for us at all. The patio out back is so nice for bbqing and there is plenty of shade with the umbrellas. All in all, great house and I would book it again without hesitation!

Cape May
We loved staying at this recently renovated property. The house was decorated beautifully, and we enjoyed being able to walk to the downtown area. The kitchen was well equipped, and there were many bedrooms. One thing to note- the stairs leading to the upper floor are very steep, and they would not be safe for a toddler or elderly person. They worked fine for our kids due to their age however. Great house!

We had a wonderful time at this location. The home was great. The neighborhood was charming and walkable. This was also a really good location for families — had games, stroller and gate for the stairs that were all very useful. And the homeowner/company was very responsive and helpful. The only critique would be that the beds were super soft and we woke up with back aches. Other than that, this location was fun and enjoyable.

This house is perfect!
This house was clean and airy, well-equipped and in walking distance to town and the beach. The added amenities including the beach box, driveway and family games allowed us to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about the usual minutia of parking, schlepping everything to the beach and keeping everyone entertained. The leasing agent & owners were very responsive before and during our stay.

We loved our time at this house; everything was newly updated and the interiors were so fresh and clean. It had a lot of bedrooms for the price, so we were able to comfortably stay. We also loved the back deck and yard. We set up a kiddie pool and were set! Thanks to Ami with the property team, who was very helpful and communicative, we had a wonderful experience!

Wonderful at Christmastime
This house was great. Clean, updated, adorably decorated. The location makes for a very short walk to the mall, the beach, or anything in town, which is especially great in the winter. The owners decorated for the holidays in a beachy, minimal way that added a really nice surprise as we stayed there for our family holiday celebration. Multiple, good-sized bedrooms and bed configurations was perfect for our entire family with kids and all. We all loved the house and would absolutely stay there again!
