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.

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.
