Our family visits Cape May annually. This year our group was 9 adults and 4 children. The house was large enough to accommodate our group with bedrooms for everyone. The location is perfect between the walking mall and the beach. The deck where your group has room to eat and cook at the grill was perfect for us. Would stay here again. Lots of beach read books to choose from. Thanks Longfellow house!

We had four generations under one roof! I was extremely impressed by the walk-ability of Cape May. Our stay at the Longfellow House was fantastic and our hosts made sure we were taken care of! Would happily recommend to everyone!

What a beautiful home our family had the privilege of staying at this week. History abounds as you walk through the home decorated with generational family pictures that give you an idea of what life was like in Cape May many years ago. The home itself boasts the historic charm of Cape May with beautiful antiques and decor fitting for such a lovely home. The owners are very sweet people who are quick to respond to any questions or concerns you may have during your stay. We are definitely looking forward to another future summer getaway at Longfellow House!

A 3 generation family vacation was made easy thanks to this spacious home. Well located near the beach, shopping, and other activities, everyone enjoed their stay. The back apartment worked well for my parents, who have difficulty with stairs. Excellent communication from the host every step of the way. Vrbo amenities list (hot tub!) may not match actual amenities so be sure to ask the host. Our expectations were exceeded.

This our 3rd year at Longfellow House and it was, as always, a fantastic place to settle in for the weekend. The house is cozy and comfortable. The lovely weather made for some nice calm times on the porch and a good place to rest after all the shopping! Can’t wait til next year!
