About this house rental

2020 Updates - S p a c e and Design become very important when choosing a vacation property!

With all the social distancing changes at the beach this year, it is so important not only to choose a property that is safe and clean, but to choose a property that you really want to stay and hang out in. The Zephyr House is a perfect choice. Lots of open space - new places to chill - indoors and out. You wont miss the crowds at all while relaxing at the Zephyr House.

Enjoy the rustic modern architecture and the delightfully private and peaceful location just blocks from the shore.
The interior’s open floor plan, soaring ceilings and stocked kitchen all combine for a perfect seaside getaway.

4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home sleeps 14.
On site parking for 3 cars.

This home is centrally located and just blocks from the Atlantic and downtown. Designed and built by an architect and his family including 2 small girls, they created a family friendly take on Cape May’s charming buildings. The home uses many salvaged pieces to create a custom blend of vintage and modern beach style. The Victorian silhouette and many large windows allows the interior to be bathed in light and glorious sea breezes while being nestled within the trees. The interior’s open floor plan, soaring ceilings and stocked kitchen allows for great entertaining. The home is located at the end of a dead-end street providing privacy while still being in the heart of the action.

The main living area has salvaged wood beam ceilings, reclaimed 400 year old hemlock hardwood floors throughout. The open industrial style floor plan is spacious and welcoming and includes the well equipped kitchen and dining area that seats ten, a breakfast bar, as well as a kitchen island. The living area opens up to a large outdoor deck perfect for dining and lounging.

There are three bedrooms on the first floor. The master has a king bed. The back bedroom has a queen bed and a twin daybed with trundle. The bunk room has a set of 2 bunk beds perfect for the kids with room for a total of twelve guests, including the queen, pull-out couch.

Outside there is a large deck, a BBQ and an outdoor rain shower for cooling off after a day at the beach. The front porch is perfect for morning coffee. New this year, there is an additional patio lounge space right next to the native plant rain garden. The house is raised above ground providing parking for 3 cars along with plenty of storage for beach items and bikes. The grounds and rain garden are planted with native plants to attract birds and butterflies. There is a front vegetable and herb garden to help brighten up your summer salads and mojitos as well.

We stayed at this house two years ago and loved it, so we came back again. Excellent location, lots of room (there are 8 of us), very comfortable. Close to everything. Nice upstairs patio for morning coffee. Holly is very quick to reply to every inquiry and super nice. Highly recommend.

The house is beautiful and the layout is great. The best thing for us was the closeness to everything. It was so nice to be just a quick walk away from the beach and restaurants

We had a wonderful week down in Cape May at this house. It’s a nice quiet street where the kids can play outside and you don’t have to worry about cars. Perfect location to shops/restaurants and beach. My 4 year old walked the whole way to and from the beach with no problem. The bikes were great for my niece and nephews to ride when they got bored with the family😂 my husband and I rode the bikes every morning to Madison’s bakery for donuts for the kids. They had chairs and a beach wagon for lugging your stuff to the beach.

The upside down layout of this home was interesting and overall took some time to get used to. The location is easy walking distance to the beach and shops. We always enjoy our stay in Cape May and this year added to our family’s memories of sandy toes and salty kisses.

The house was beautiful and super close to everything - beach, pedestrian mall, Acme grocery. We parked our cars and didn’t move them all week, just walked everywhere! Loved the layout of the house. Some chipped dishes and a few stains on blankets but nbd. There was some construction on a couple of houses next door which was noisy, and a very loud generator (??) building across the street, but mostly we were out and about so it was fine. Really only cared during morning coffee on the porch. Overall, five stars because the great things were great and the minor annoyances were very minor. Thanks so much for having us, Holly!!

The house is spacious for 10 people. Good location, close to the mall, local shops and the beach. There are 2.5 baths plus shower under house - listing says 4 bathrooms. Overall the house was clean on the surface but it could definitely use a deep cleaning. Several of the dishes, pots, strainers etc. were grimy. There is a bathroom fan that doesn’t have a cover on it. Out of reach for little kids but unsightly. Some lights don’t turn on. When we ran our first load, the dishwasher was malfunctioning. The host could not arrange repair until our departure which was a big imposition for our large family attempting to cook for 10. The only bathtub in the house cannot be filled (stopper broken). This was tough with our younger children who don’t shower. There was black mold around A/C vents in 2 bedrooms. One of our kids had an allergic reaction after a few days - perhaps because of this. The kids room (with two sets of bunk beds) is well used and has a grimy play mat “rug” in it. We are not super clean people ourselves but this room was dingy. Our daughter found 2 pacifiers in the bunk bed. One lower bunk is actually a futon that doesn’t fit the bed frame well. Very uncomfortable to sleep on with what feels like a board raised up in the middle of your back. There is no way to put a baby gate at the top of the steps from the main living area down to the first floor. I would say this house is not friendly to mobile babies until about 6 years old. Bring your own paper goods. They said they would provide TP and basic soaps. There were 2.5 rolls of TP for 7 days with 10 people and not enough hand soaps. There isn’t a pantry or any cabinets to store food. Tricky with a lot of people in the house and little ones around. The loft is much nicer that the photos suggest. It’s a cozy space for reading, puzzles and hanging out. Parents with young kids; the only access to the loft space is metal alternating steps (witches stairs). The edges are left raw which is rather precarious for adults and very dangerous for young kids. We fit a bassinet in the “king” room. Pack and Play might not fit. The loft is for early risers only as there are no curtains on two of the four large windows. Several of the smaller bikes are unusable with black mold and flat tires. The outdoor hammock and downstairs cushions are dirty/moldy, and the tall plantings plus the standing water from the under-house shower seemed to be attracting mosquitoes.

Bachelorette Weekend

Bachelorette Weekend

9 of us stayed here for a bachelorette weekend in Cape May and had the best time! We were thoroughly impressed with the house and thought it was even better than advertised. It was in the perfect location and we were able to walk to the beach/bars/restaurants and didn't have to use our cars for the duration of our stay. Holly was VERY responsive leading up to the trip and answered all of my questions. Check-in was super easy with a keypad so no one had to worry about losing keys. Definitely recommend!

Spacious house, great location but not CLEAN

Spacious house, great location but not CLEAN

For spring break, my family of four joined another family of four for our first getaway since the pandemic. We selected the home because it advertised as a newly renovated property. For the most part, the home looked like the pictures but it didn’t take long for us to notice the lack of cleanliness. It was in major need of a deep cleaning in the kitchen and bathrooms. Sited food debris, mold (smelled), dust, cob webs and stickiness. We obviously didn’t let this ruin our children’s vacation but we were extremely uncomfortable and unable to relax. I’d also add that it’s not the best home for small children safety wise. This location charges a cleaning fee and BYOL. I’d suggest the owner does a very deep cleaning before renting again. The owner was very responsive and refunded the cleaning fee once we sent concerning photos.
