Perfect Cape May Experience

The 2 bedroom (dog-friendly) cottage was perfect. The spiral staircase, second-floor sun room, and the roof top seating (on the "main building", gave us feel the seaside experience we were looking for. Ron was great to deal with and supplied us with everything we needed to feel at home.

Charming beachfront cottage

One of our beautiful weeks in Cape May. The cottage was so charming and comfortable. Loved the updated appliances and TVs. Really felt like home. The location was perfect, just a short walk to one of the less crowded beautiful beaches. We did have a chance to meet the owner when we checked in, and he was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Christmas vacation

Ron and Bernadette are lovely. I cannot say enough about their thoughtfulness and it is apparent when you step into their charming cottage. First of all it was spotless. The decor is beautiful yet comfortable. It was decorated for the holidays which we loved because we were away from home. We especially loved the fireplace that kept us cozy warm. I cannot thank them enough and I do hope we have the pleasure of visiting them again.

birthday celebration at the beach

The cottage is a lovely place, a wonderful combination of modern function with charm. The location is peaceful, and the cottage is furnished with many elements that are interesting to look at or have guests' comfort in mind. I celebrated a milestone birthday there with old friends I hadn't seen since before the pandemic. Our favorite thing to do was sit out on the second floor porch and listen to the sound of the ocean. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for peace, quiet, comfort, and charm! I hope to be a regular guest!

Great week just feet away from the beach

Our family wanted to stay in a quite area of Cape May that was close to the beach. The cottage checked both boxes, and in fact we were much closer to the beach than we thought. Great view of the ocean from the screen porch. The Jitney ran past the house, so getting around Cape May was easy and we didn’t have to drive much. We brought our dog with us and he was fine, however the spiral staircase was tough for the dog. There is a set of stairs outside that leads to the porch, so that was how we got the dog up and down the stairs. Our family was overall very happy to stay there and we enjoyed ourselves for every second we had there.

Quaint

Quaint property. Quiet. Needs a bit of up keep and bit of cleaning. Bedrooms are on the first floor along with a full bath and laundry. The mattress in the master bedroom was a bit too firm for our liking so we bought a foam topper to use for our stay. There were a few cobwebs in the rooms and dirt build up in the ceiling vents. The sofa was stained and not comfortable to us. Over all it was quaint but needs some up keep.
