The apartment is nice, espeically since in cape may a lot of the apartments havent had updates in a long time. The apartment is tight, we were only 3 for the stay so it was fine but i do think it would be tight with more people. I do think for staying after labor day if way pretty expensive but I dont know how much its compares.

We all enjoyed our recent stay at this property. It is the perfect location. We were able to walk to the beach, mini-golf, the beach and shopping. The kids loved the bunk beds and the beds were comfortable. It is always nice to have a kitchen to save money on meals. It was nicely stocked. The outdoor shower is probably our favorite feature of the property, so take advantage if you decide to stay!

We came down to Cape May for 12 years and usually rented 1-2 weeks for summer vacations with the kids. Now that everyone is 20+ years old- that type of time is just impossible to get on the books so we decided to look for a place that rented for a long weekend. The owners were very responsive and the apartment is cute and very clean. If there is any way to add a small extra chair in the living room (maybe get rid of the blue table and put something small ) it would add to the comfort level. The Kitchen is well stocked and the island is great for game night and snacks. I am not a huge fan of window air conditioners but these worked well and weren't too noisy. The Location is fantastic and street parking was not an issue. We loved hanging out on the front porch at night talking.

The unit that we rented was impeccably clean and well stocked with all of the essentials of home. No kidding....we really felt at home here. The beds were very comfortable (always a concern at any rental unit). We spent a lot of time chilling out on the very inviting front porch, all within eyesight of the ocean and just a short walk (comparatively speaking) to the mall area. I highly recommend this property!

Apartment was cute and close to the beach. We had two teenagers with us so appreciated two bathrooms and kid bedrooms on the other side of the unit. Would definitely rent again.

Overall property was great.
One suggestion is that more seat is needed in living room area and mention should be made to bring your beach gear, i.e. towels and chairs.

Location is ideal- walk to everything and so close to the beach.
Apartment clean and quaint with nice updates in bathrooms. Beautiful porch for relaxing day and evening.
Counter space a bit tight, but manageable .

It’s a lovely apartment, in a superb location, but there’s no outdoor space at all, no place to hang sandy towels and stash beach chairs. This means tracking sand into the apartment. Worse, there’s no way to sweep or vacuum. When I asked owner if there was a broom somewhere, I was told that they want to ensure that “guests do not have to clean.” That’s a tortured way of saying they are fine with people walking on filthy floors covered with sand and crumbs from meals — gross and uncomfortable. Moreover, on check in we found sand and a used qtip on bathroom floor. Families should know that the kitchen is too small to do real cooking. It’s a shame — a very cool place only a block from the beach. Cape May itself is lovely, but the inability to tidy this place up is a major minus.

PROS
-Very very close to the beach
-Lovely, well-maintained property
-Beautiful front porch
-Bed linens and bath towels provided
-Clean and modern
CONS
-When I booked, listing showed a king bed, which was one of the reasons I booked so far from town. During the off season they replaced the king with a queen and did not inform guests. I was offered no compensation.
-VERY small - no closets or dressers. Had to hang full-length clothes on a set of overdoor hooks on the front door. ZERO kitchen storage space - literally. Kept everything on the island or on top of the refrigerator.
-Not enough cups and dishes for the amount of people the place is supposed to sleep.
-Was given the wrong door code and could not get in touch with either manager for ten minutes. When I was finally called back, manager was not apologetic.
-Patio for second floor apartment is directly under the master window so we were woken by screaming toddlers at 7am each day.
-Washer/dryer is a combo unit and dries everything on high heat, and there is no clothesline anywhere. I had to hang out clothes in creative places all over the house.
-Needs way more hooks for a place with no closets.
I wish I could give 3.5 stars because it’s better than average but was not a good fit for us. I think it would be a great place for a group of adults who don’t plan to spend a lot of time in the unit and don’t need much space for clothes and food.

The Victorian house was lovely. The apartment was just the right size for my family. It was neat, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. You can't beat the location- so close to the beach, promenade, and restaurants. Thank you for a great experience!

A few things, we wish the living room area had a bit more seating. After a long day sightseeing, we really had no where to sit and chill out. The couch was small, and the little red plastic cubes we found uncomfortable. The metal chairs around the kitchen island were very uncomfortable. Should have some seat cushions at least. A small tv in each bedroom would also be nice. I like to watch the morning news while getting ready. The battery on the thermostat said 'low battery', leaving us unable to adjust the heat, and the nights were in the upper 40's. There was no vanity counters in the bathrooms to lay out our makeup, personal items, etc. Maybe a small vanity table in each bathroom would be beneficial. The main bedroom had 3 mirrors, 2 full length mirrors and one mirror off center above the bed, while the 2 extra bedrooms had no mirrors. The windows in the kitchen had no curtains, leaving us feeling exposed to the house next door, no privacy. A half curtain at least would give some privacy from the close set neighbor. These are just some things my sister and niece said would have been beneficial to us, and possibly to future guests. So, a very good review and stay at the house, just giving some suggestions for a few things that future guests may benefit from. Thank you :)

Property is so comfortable and charming! The location is just perfect! Close enough to the beach and all restaurants and shopping but far enough away to be relaxing. Never had to move the car during stay

This house was the perfect location and well equipped. We got rained in one day, and that caused us to notice there isn't very much comfortable seating, but if you're staying there during the high season, you probably won't spend much time inside. We visited April 28-May 2.
We had four adults and the space was comfortable - we weren't tripping over each other. It might be a squeeze with many more than four, but again, if you're not spending much time inside it'll be fine.
The beds were comfortable, however, if you're planning to use the kid room for four beds, it looks like it'll be a tight squeeze and I probably wouldn't put an adult on a top bunk - the bunk didn't look sturdy enough to handle a full grown person climbing up and down.
The seating at the dining table is not meant for people with large bottoms. LOL. The barstools with backs have bars that come in too tight on the sides and make the chair uncomfortable. We used our bed pillows to soften the pressure of those bars and it helped.
If you're staying long term, there isn't a ton of storage space for luggage or to hang clothes, so plan accordingly. If we had had more than the four of us, it definitely would have been tight with luggage. We had two adults in the kid room and one adult in each of the other rooms. The two of us in the kid room were able to put our stuff under/on top of the bunk to leave two beds to sleep on.
Overall, it is a great place and I would love to take my family back again.

Spotless and well appointed rental 2 blocks from beach and minutes from restaurants and shopping. This was the perfect spot for our girl’s weekend! The house comfortably fit 6 people. My only recommendation would be to add more seating to the living room to make hanging out in the common space more comfortable. Will definitely come back to this rental!!

Eight of us shared the ample space of the second floor apartment April 3-5, 2023. True, we weren't inside much because the weather was lovely, but chilly. Two bathrooms were a big plus with 3 teenagers. The building is an easy walk to the beach and and lovely walk to the mall. The bagel shop on the corner was a favorite morning stop. Plenty of useful kitchen tools and counter space. We all enjoyed the really quiet neighborhood (at this time of year). Our hosts were a big help with the few questions we had that were not included in their welcoming e-mail. We hope to be back.

The location was fantastic and the neighborhood was perfect. The apartment was smaller and older than appears in the photos but was very, very clean with modern bathrooms. Comfortable beds. A bonus not having to bring our own linens and sheets. We had a great time!!!

Perfect location!
Our stay was great in large part to the location of this fantastic property! The owners were very responsive and getting all of our information to enter the property was super easy! We had 8 sleeping there (four 17 year olds, me and my wife and my in-laws) and it worked great as we were out and about most of the time. Beds and pillows were comfortable and the bathrooms were great!

Great location!
My family, of 5, plus my father in law loved staying here! The location is great! We didn’t spend much time in the place, and didn’t cook, but everything needed was provided. Cape May is one of our favorite places to visit and we will definitely be back!

Beautiful Location
We had a wonderful experience staying here. The owners were accommodating and responsive to our requests. The apartment itself was updated, clean and fully stocked. Staying in a victorian Cape May home just a block from the beach was an experience in and of itself. We could hear the beach from the house.
Would recommend 100%.

On our way to Cape May
For our first family vacation in a few years this one knocked it out of the park. Our family planned a weekend getaway in Cape May and came across this gem which suited our every need. From being one block to the beach, dining, shopping, attractions, etc. not much can compete. The apartment was beautifully maintained and the owners exceptionally responsive to our every question. Both checking in/out were a breeze, which is exactly what you want on the days you are traveling. We absolutely plan to stay again when the time comes. Thank you again!
