Lovely vacation week

My family has been coming to Cape May for many decades and this was a perfect location and size for us. The first floor suite was perfect for those not wanting to use the stairs and the amenities were super. Being a veterinarian myself, I love that it is pet friendly as these rentals can be harder to find. The communication with and kindness of our host was top notch. We will definitely be returning!

Janet's 80th Birthday Celebration

For this occasion, we wanted a place where we could feel at home - definitely fit the bill. Plenty of 'family' space with individual bedrooms for privacy. Location was superb - quiet residential street, free street parking, close to the Mall and the beach. We really enjoyed our 'porch' time. Michael and Alix, the owners, were most responsive and beyond accommodating.

We had an amazing time celebrating our bride to be with 14 girls! There was plenty of room for everyone, very comfortable. The location was perfect, walking distance to all the things we had planned. Seemed like a very safe area! The owners were very helpful and communicative. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful home in a perfect location!

We had the best time staying at the Longfellow house! The history of the house was so charming, and the house was large and spacious! The back deck and front porch are perfect places for morning coffees, and downtown area is a short walk down the street. Michae was a wonderful and communicative host, and we highly recommend staying here!

Loved our stay!

This is a beautiful, historic home in Cape May. My family stayed for a week and loved every second. We had plenty of space for sleeping, eating, and hanging out. It was very helpful being in walking distance to the beach, shopping, Acme, and other activities. The owners were very friendly and easy to get in touch with. I would definitely suggest this property to others!

Another Great Year

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!

Great vacation!

Our family loved our stay at The Longfellow House! We rented the house as well as the extra suite, which was great! The location is wonderful and the street is very quiet with very little traffic. Michael and Alix could not have been more accommodating and detail oriented. We really appreciated the beach tags and the beach box!

Beautiful antique house in historic Cape May.

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!

Beautiful Historic Cape May Longfellow Home

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!
