The Purple Starfish is a charming, beautiful, and well-appointed home. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is magnificent. The Washington Street Mall and numerous restaurants are within walking or biking distance as well as the beach. You will not be disappointed with a visit to Cape May and the Purple Starfish.
4.0 / 5.0
This house is beautiful, big, very well kept, and clean. We had a great stay. but here are a few notable points that may be helpful to others:
1) house is best for adults/older kids. we came with two 1 year olds and it worked out better than I feared but not ideal. The walk to the beach is probably doable for adults but with a family you still need to drive.
2) the listing is clear about this but I did not like having to bring our own linens, particularly after having to pay such a large cleaning fee. The checkout to-do list was also a little more onerous than I would prefer.
3) house layout is a little weird. Only 2 toilets but 3 showers + a tub in a bedroom which also sleeps 5 people. The picture show this clearly but it’s confusing when you are looking at them.

Great Location
This charming home has two public living spaces and a huge kitchen and dining area for family gatherings. Its central location made it easy to get around. In fact, you could walk or bike to almost everything. Cape May was great fun. Thank you.

Great time, Great house!
My family and I rented here for 4 nights, and we couldn’t have been more happy with our stay. The house is perfect! It is clean, very comfortable, a joy to spend time in:) The house is in a central location which was convenient as we did a lot of take out vs. opting for outdoor dining.
In addition, Donna’s communication via VRBO was extremely timely leading up to our stay. She was a pleasure to conduct business with. I highly recommend you book a rental here for your Cape May vacation!

Beautifully renovated Victorian that is central to all the island sights.

Great for families
The house is beautiful and worked well for our needs. There were books and games for the kids and plenty of parking. The one thing to be wary of are the narrow upstair hallways which have light fixtures protruding from the walls. My tall husband smacked his head on one of them. Otherwise, great stay!
