My family had a wonderful week at Seahorse Cottage at Cape May NJ. The hosts were great, and the accommodations fit my family of 11 very well.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well-appointed, and the location worked well since we always go to Broadway Beach. Our biggest disappointment was that we weren't able to rebook it for next year because we didn't realize we would have to do that before we had even completed our stay. Lesson learned, I guess!

Great amenities- the bikes, beach chairs, grills and location made this house perfect.

Everyone in our family was delighted with our week-long stay at the Sea Horse cottage. The location was convenient; the house was comfortable, clean, and big enough for our group of 8 people. Kitchen, bathrooms and appliances were modern. Every room had charm. The bicycles were an extra bonus and well used! The owners were quick and thorough with communication. Five star experience all around. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay to anyone and would love to return to this lovely sanctuary in the future.

We all enjoyed our vacation! The cottage was extremely clean and provided us with everything we needed. It was convenient to the cove where the kids all like to surf and downtown. Access to all the bikes was a plus as it is a little walk to the cove. We would definitely recommend this cottage for a large family with kids.

We stayed for a week at this large and cozy Cape May Home. The home is stocked with everything you need and is walking distance to the Town Square but far enough away for peace and quiet. There is two very close eateries (a market for amazing sandwiches and a beautiful wood fire pizza/eclectic dining restaurant) that we ate at several times during our stay. The house has plenty of parking and the neighborhood was quaint. Both Karen and her husband were very nice to work with. Thanks again for allowing us to create unforgettable memories in my favorite beach town!!! Eileen

This is a beautiful, well kept, and clean home. The photos accurately showed the rooms.
We loved the porches! We also really liked having a second kitchen/refrigerator on the second floor.
The third floor sleeping area is really more geared for kids, but the adults in our group made it work.

The house was perfect for my husband and I, our 3 adult children, their spouses and 3 grandchildren to spend Christmas week together. The two living areas were wonderful. The kitchen is large and had everything that we needed to cook in every night. We would definitely stay here again.

5.0 / 5.0
The house was spacious and well-appointed. It had everything we needed -- kitchen appliances, a large refrigerator, comfortable beds, extra blankets, and a washing machine & dryer. Everything was clean and it was obvious that the house was well-taken care of. Karen and Matt were excellent hosts. They responded very quickly to any questions we had. We very much appreciate their flexibility and consideration in refunding the pet deposit when our plans changed, and our daughter's dog was not going to be staying with us.
I highly recommend the Sea Horse cottage for families!
Cape May was wonderful in the off-season -- we went whale watching, visited the Washington Street Mall, a winery, strolled on the beachfront promenade and explored neighborhoods, took long walks on the beach, and enjoyed the nature trails near the lighthouse. Beautiful!

Our family just completed a wonderful stay at the Seahorse Cottage in Cape May. The cottage was a lovely place to come "home" to after spending the day either on the beach or exploring the town. It is conveniently located and a short walk to everything we wanted to do. The cottage was the perfect place for our family to enjoy time together but with enough nooks and crannies for some quiet time if someone one wanted to. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while in Cape May. We hope to be back in the near future.

The many requirements for check out made it quite stressful.
We rented the linen service they offered, the bedding was quite inaccurate, to Karen’s credit she brought new sheets the right size.
The towels bins were mislabeled, which I just realized at check out.
I spent lots of time counting and make it all fit to what the labels read..
Finally the request to vacuum the entire house, I found excessive as we paid a substantial fee for the cleaning.
We don’t vacuum our respective houses, 3 different households, parents and children, we have cleaning services that do it for us.
Having to spent the last morning, all before 10:00 AM almost spoiled an otherwise wonderful experience.

This was a fabulous rental, and I would definitely recommend it. The location is perfect - an ice cream shop, liquor store, multiple bakeries, and restaurants were all just a few blocks away. The beach was an easy 10 min walk, and carts and a wagon were conveniently provided to help bring chairs & beach gear. The house was well equipped with lots of kitchen stuff for easy cooking & grilling. Lots of bikes, beach gear, etc. Everything you need! The porches are heavenly. We would definitely stay here again. Matt & Karen were very communicative every step of the way. My *only* criticism is that the mattresses could be changed out for something newer/more comfortable. But honestly, I still slept like a stone after a long day of sun & sand at the beach :)

All of us were disappointed - this was an expensive rental, and we chose it because of other reviews. So we recognize that others may have been happy, but we were not. We would have been happier if the owners seemed willing to do any level of service recovery - even validate our concerns. nada.
Our collective issues:
1. cleanliness - grill grates with leftover meat, kitchen floor only superficially clean, upstairs air filter filthy, dirty sponge left in sink
2. amenities missing or broken (partial list) - bikes unrideable as is (all tires needed air, 2 flat), beach cart broken, DVD remote missing so DVD player unusable, outdoor shower door handle fell off, cleaning supplies and washer pods missing at start of rental, grill not functioning properly
3. 3rd floor not as advertised - "bedroom with 2 twins" is NOT a bedroom, it is simply an open area with no privacy and extremely close to stairwell, no door, and severely sloped ceilings so easy to hit head at night.

The front porch was a wonderful space for my elderly mom and my family to reconnect. We spent much of our time chatting and laughing, and just hanging out together! We truly enjoyed our beach week!

Amazing location!
The house and the neighborhood are awesome. You are only a few minutes walk to Washington Mall and there are a few restaurants within a couple blocks as well. Once you walk in the door you immediately relax and that is a feeling you cannot put a price on. This is a fantastic property and the owners and accessible and communication is easy.

Easter weekend getaway
We have been going down to cape May for Easter weekend for a couple years and this is hands down the best house we have stayed in. Big enough for all of us (7adults 4 kids) and we never felt like we were in each other’s way. Clean and updated. Plus a tv room on the 3rd floor. We brought our own PlayStation but there was one there. This was huge for the kids to have their own space.
Location is great. Far enough away from the center of cape May that we never had to worry about parking but close enough to walk to everything. We he garage full of bikes was a nice bonus so we didn’t have to bring our own down.
The only downside I found was that the tvs not in the main living area all had limited basic channels. I didn’t really care because I don’t go down to cape May to watch tv.
I will 100% rent this house again.

Cape May at Christmas is Magical Here!
The photos do not do this home justice. It is an AMAZING property. The hosts have thought of every need. The kitchen has every gadget and ample
quality pots and pans. Little niceties like luxurious hand soaps in each bathroom were a wonderful surprise! We brought our dog and my 90 year old Dad.
We had a lot of moving parts making the plans and the hosts were so patient and accommodating. The hosts are very responsive to all inquiries and the place is fantastic! Hoping to return soon!

Awesome vacation house!
Prior to arrival Karen communicated rapidly and with ease. The house is perfect for two families with plenty of rooms and chill out places for the kids. The bikes were In great condition. The best part was walking a short distance to the beach and having the chairs etc right in the beach box. Fabulous trip, amazing hosts, and fantastic house!

Nice place to relax and enjoy Cape May
The house was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the front porch with the fans for relaxing and watching the lovely tree lined street and neighborhood comings and going’s. It was great to have the bikes available for cruising to town and beyond. Good location with restaurants within walking distance and cape may center a short bike ride away.

First stay in Cape May
The house is a comfortable and beautiful Victorian home that met all of our families needs. We had 9 family members and most adults had full or semi-full privacy. The younger teens enjoyed the third floor common areas. The bikes were a big hit for the kids and some adults. The location is about a mile walk to the beach, which we loved as part of our morning family walks. Matt and Karen were great and provided us with a wonderful opportunity for a fun and memorable vacation.

116 3rd avenue
We loved this house! Everyone had their own zones and had plenty of room for our multi generation family. Karen was so receptive to any questions we had and the check in process was so smooth! Having bikes at the property and a storage box at the beach loaded with beach supplies was so helpful! The only small issue was the 3rd floor pull out was only a twin and was a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise everything was wonderful!

Ideal house and location for ourselves, daughters and their families
The house provided everything we required for a relaxing beach vacation for everyone - young and not so young. Loved the eat in kitchen where we had great family meals. We especially enjoyed the outside porch where we were able to eat breakfast and later in the day relax whilst the little ones took their naps.

Perfect family getaway!
This vintage home was a perfect setting for our family holiday during Spring Break. Our group included ages from grandmother all the down to an 11year old. The home was a wonderful combination of vintage charm and up-to-date amenities. We loved the porches and all the nooks in the home that provided comfort and space for all. The kitchen was great for our family dinners whether we ordered take out or made our own. Karen was a wonderful host—accessible and reachable with any question we had and always provided timely responses. It was clear that much thought was given to ensure a guest would feel comfortable. We especially loved that there were bicycles that were available for our use—great for a bike ride into town or to the surrounding beaches. This was a phenomenal place for our family to safely spend time together. We hope we are blessed enough to stay again!

Large and accommodating
Communication with property owners were great, they were very accommodating to our requests. We had two families stay here and it was a perfect size, modern appliances, large living space, many bathrooms and a garage filled with bikes, plus a very simple check in/out process. Could not have been happier.
