Very comfortable house and well equipped with all the house and beach essentials. Close to everything. Walk to Washington Street Mall, beach, restaurants, and grocery. Quick drive to Cape May lighthouse, Sunset Beach, and Cape May Point, etc.!

This house is amazing! Trish has carefully curated a perfect home and perfect stay for you and your guests. The location is unbeatable -- right in the heart of historic Cape May. The house has tons of vintage charm, antiques, books about Cape May history, even fresh flowers -- and all with the modern conveniences of a new kitchen, baths, central air, and more. The house is immaculate and well stocked with lovely kitchen dishes, cutlery, and everything needed for eating, dining, hosting, and just hanging out. Trish is a very conscientious host and will make sure that you have everything you need for a comfortable and carefree stay. We will be returning!

We enjoyed our stay. Our host was very helpful. The house was close to the shops, restaurants, and a short walk from the beach. The house had everything needed for a fun time down at the Jersey Shore. We will visit Cape May again.

We loved staying here four our 4 night stay in Cape May! So close to everything, and such a clean, well-appointed house! Even with tropical storm Ophelia bring the wind and rain, it was a beautiful trip!

This is a gorgeous house, inside and out. The kitchen is fully stocked with nice things, not a hodgepodge of plates and silverware. In fact, I want to find the plates and buy some for myself. Our hostess left a large basket of snacks and a bottle of wine, starting the vacation in a lovely way. There are fresh flowers throughout the house, which is full of victorian style furnishings. It is ultra-convenitnt to the Washington St Mall area and the supermarket, and a few more blocks to the beach. EVERYTHING is included, including whatever is needed for beach visits (umbrellas, chairs, suntan lotion). Trish was an excellent communicator, and all went smoothly. I especially appreciated and NEEDED the three bedrooms that would accommodate the three couples in our group. We plan to book this house again next year!

Absolutely loved this home! There was an amazing welcome basket, fresh flowers everywhere, and all of the amenities you would ever need! We really appreciated the beach tags, wagon, umbrellas and chairs! Those items usually take up most of our trunk, so we loved that these were provided. We also loved the location. We did have to login to work and had no problems with the wifi.
Overall, five stars! Wonderful house & host!

Trish, the owner, was very responsive to our needs and requests. The house makes you feel like you have stepped back in time to the Victorian era. The owner has many Victorian pieces that creates the ambience. A narrow stairway to the second floor was challenge for a member of our party who had a problem with her leg. A modern kitchen and bathroom were well stocked and much appreciated. Trish goes above and beyond to ensure her visitors have what they need.

Great location
The location of this unit was ideal - within walking distance of shops and the beach without being in the middle of a loud or busy area. The porches were ideal for reading or gathering with friends. The inside of the home is pretty much as represented in the photos. I had hoped that it was not as dark as it looked, but it was very dark. I’m sure this was by design to preserve the Victorian vibe, but the living room was dark to the point of being a bit uncomfortable. The bedrooms were small but nicely decorated and comfortable. Communication with the owner was great, and we were welcomed with a sweet handwritten card upon arrival.

Best weekend ever!
A group of 7 girls, including myself, rented Trish’s adorable property a stone’s throw from the heart of Cape May. We had the absolute best weekend, and loved everything the home and area had to offer. From the Victorian style decor, to the modern kitchen and bathrooms, to the location walking distance from the beach, cute shops, and restaurants, this home is worth visiting and returning to! Trish provided beach passes, beach chairs, and umbrella and a beach wagon, which saved us so much room in our cars and money so we didn’t have to rent chairs or an umbrella. She also provided us with a comprehensive list of restaurants and things to do in Cape May. I’ll say it once more, we cannot wait to return!!

Absolutely Lovely
Beautiful home with Victorian charm - the perfect place to stay for our mini-moon. The owner really focuses on the details, from the fresh flowers and candles down to the little bowls of candy and vintage lamps. The home is walking distance to the beach, the Washington Street Mall, and so much more. We had a wonderful time, and will most definitely be back.

My wife and family have vacationed in Cape May for 30 years, and Trish's home was the best stay we've ever had! Her house is beautiful, functional, and conveniently located. She is the most gracious hostess by far! You will not go wrong booking a stay in this elegant home!!

Special property
Trish has thought of everything in this special rental. House was spotless upon arrival. All the amenities make this Cape May rental extra special - from the linens and towels to the extra tooth brushes, razors, pantry supplies and more. There isn’t anything Trish hasn’t supplied. Will be back!!

Excellent stay
Trish's house is a bona fide Victorian. A lot of care has put in to make the house feel authentic, yet comfortable. With all the nice period touches, the house also comes with a well equipped kitchen where we had a couple satisfying meals in our 3 night stay. The beach chairs and umbrellas are extra nice touches Trish provides. A wonderful pre-Memorial day experience.

This is a great rental. The owner was responsive and so very easy to work with. I was there with 5 of my friends. We didn't realize it was a duplex and you get one side of it. Even with 6 of us we never felt crowded. The beds are super comfortable and have the most soft and comfortable sheets I have ever had in a VRBO type rental. The kitchen is is remodeled and has everything you need. Location is fantastic. We walked to the beach/boardwalk, restaurants, grocery store and pedestrian shopping area.Would definitely rent again.

A little trip to Cape May to celebrate my wife's birthday. Trish was kind enough to have a bouquet of flowers waiting for my wife when we checked in.

A magical Victorian Christmas!
I cannot say enough good things about our stay in Cape May! Trish was the most amazing owner we have ever met! Just staying in this beautiful home was wonderful enough, but Trish went above and beyond to welcome us and make us feel at home! The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas and she added so many extras so our every need would be met. From the bottle of wine to greet us when we arrived, candy on every bed, a beautiful floral arrangement for our Christmas dinner table, a supply of extra toiletries if we needed them and ironed sheets atop the most comfortable beds! She made it very hard for us to want to leave this beautiful place! I look forward to our next stay already!

Rare Rental We'd Return To...
...Mostly because we like to try different places, but we will return and can def recommend this house and Trish. We also want to recommend Cape May, in general. Wow, what a beautiful place. Trish did an awesome job renovating this Victorian home and you will feel the Victorian Cape May vibe both when at the house and when you're out exploring. And you will be easy walking distance to everything, too. Gorgeous house. Spotless. Kitchen great for cooking. Perfect in every way, IMHO!

Great classic Victorian home.
This home was a real find. It is conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, wonderful restaurants and shopping. Get there, park your car and you don't have to use it again until it is time to go home. The interior is uniquely decorated with period furniture and antiques. The owned has gone out of her way to equip the home with all that was needed during our stay. She was also very responsive to any questions that we had about the area. Loved our stay, looking forward to returning some day!

Absolutely Lovely!
Trish was the perfect hostess. She responded to all questions and offered wonderful recommendations for restaurants. Her home is picture perfect. She has supplied EVERY amenity one could want. We could have arrived with just a small bag of clothes and been set for the week. She has thought of everything. Felt like we were staying in a friend’s home instead of a rental.

Perfect Halloween stay!
This was a Halloween celebration Mother/Daughter weekend. There were 6 of us and we all had an amazing time! The home is beautiful at any time of year, but was especially charming with all the seasonal decorations. The location was a very short walk to town which boasted adorable shops, restaurants, bistros and activities. Trish was wonderful, leaving us detailed information for all of Cape May. We took many of her suggestions, and enjoyed all! Be aware, many of the restaurants are BYOB so be prepared to bring your own libations. I forgot my overnight bag and Trish was so kind to return it to me promptly. Thanks Trish! We would definitely return and experience the home at another time of year!

Home away from home for Memorial Day weekend.
My family had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. We have been spending our Memorial Day weekends here in cape May for the last 25 years of which we stayed in hotels. This is the first time we rented a house and was very satisfied with the accommodation. Trish is a wonderful host and hospitable. The house is immaculate and detailed for everyone to feel comfortablea and at home. Location is very convenient to everything. Mall, restaurants, bars and beaches. My family would definetly come back next year or even before that. I highly recommend. Thank you so much Tish for everything. We had a blast!. See you soon.

Annual Get Together
Everything about this property is delightful. The attention to detail, the amenities, close proximity to restaurants and shopping are all excellent. We didn’t really have beach weather but it was a comfortable walk to the beach. All of the bedrooms are on the second floor, so comfort with stairs is important. Thanks for giving us a great location for our friend reunion.

Fabulous Victorian House for Girls Getaway
The home was beautiful and unique! Most importantly for us, it was CLEAN! Trish was the perfect hostess, welcoming us and giving some fantastic recommendations for places to eat and drink. We took her up on almost all of her recs and thought she was right on - awesome places within walking distance. We appreciated the little touches of coffee pods for the Keurig, chocolates on our pillows, and a greeting card and welcome wine. Thank you, Trish!! The bedrooms were comfortable and again - so clean.
We spent a number of hours rocking in the chairs on the front porch, which was lovely, though there wasn't much people watching on this particular street. That said, it was quiet, so no complaints there!

Amazing summer vacation in a Beautiful Victorian
Trish is a wonderful hostess! Her home is beautifully restored and fully functional with all the amenities a guest would need! The location is perfect within walking distance to beach and Washington Street Mall. It is very hard to find a full house rental in Cape May. This home was an excellent choice for us! Don't miss out! You will not be disappointed!

Elegant and Comfortable Stay
My family had a wonderful stay at this rental. The home is beautifully decorated in the Victorian style yet has all the modern conveniences. This was our first visit to Cape May and we loved the fact that we could stay in a place with a Victorian environment, and that we were in walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch drinking our morning coffee. Beach gear such as chairs and an umbrella were provided. We also really appreciated the beach wagon which made the walk to the beach easier. The kitchen was a dream and was well stocked with all the kitchen tools needed. We also enjoyed the quality sheets and towels that were provided. Thanks to the owner Trish for making this lovely home available to rent. There were even fresh flowers and a special treat in the kitchen upon our arrival. Another highlight enjoyed by my daughter was finding out about Victorian life from the different reading material made available. We would love to stay again upon our return to Cape May.
