Family Reunion

The house comfortably accommodated 11 adults! The outdoor, screened in porch, provided a great location to congregate and enjoy the breeze. The kitchen has been recently remodeled and accommodated the various food storage for our group.

Our stay was just perfect. We were celebrating my 70th birthday with my three kids and their spouses and my husband. The house was so clean, huge and anything you meeded in the kitchen was there. I never stayed in a rental unit that literally offered you every possible appliance, enough dishes, glasses, mugs, flatware for a minimum of 24 people. They also had a ton of games, puzzles, beach chairs, beach towels so many things that you could use. We had great weather, so didn’t really need the games for rainy days.The location was perfect. An easy walk to the beach, Washington Square mall and many other places. The screened in front porch was the best. We spent mornings here having coffee evenings, chatting, having cocktails. The weather was beautiful so we were not in the house most of the days. We also loved the history the house has. My kids and their spouses loved the place. I would highly recommend it for anyone. There are no bedrooms on the first floor so if you have any major issues with stairs the place may not be for you. I had no issues with them and the place was just so nice we will definitely be back. The host was extremely responsive always getting back to me in a very short period. I cannot say enough about this place and our time there other than you just need to check it out!

Excellent property reflecting the architecture of Cape May

We were a group of 8 people who have known each other for over 30 years. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable. Only a few comments: Bringing sheets and towels is a real pain in the neck. Making and unmaking beds is time consuming and unexpected when staying at a relatively expensive place. The bathrooms had slippery floors and showers. Floor mats and shower mats would be helpful for people in our age range. Otherwise, we enjoyed our trip!!

Checked all boxes. 1884 home w/ the character & charm Victorian architecture & workmanship brings, beginning w/ great airflow making available AC un-needed on the main level. Great old windows that all seemed to open and close w/o difficulty, storm windows that glide easily, making me jealous, having sticky ones @ home. Appreciated room by room AC (not window units) in 2nd floor BRs. Can’t speak to the unused (for us) 3rd floor. Lots of spots to gather or to be alone. Huge dining table. More space in breakfast room. Comfortable family space in the parlor. First impression worried me about the tv size but works well in the space. Cable if you want or most streaming apps through smart Vizio TV. CD player & bookshelf stereo—couldn’t figure out how to pipe TV sound through stereo speakers which would have been nice. Lovely porches & balcony spaces. Enough wicker to handle 10 on the screened side porch. Hedges give some privacy when overhearing passersbys chatting—a favorite CM activity. House is super well appointed. Games, toys, books, child care items, blankets, beach towels. Every kitchen gadget wanted was found in one or other of the drawers—even an instant thermometer. More pots and pans—numbers & variety—than most will need. Two full size refrigerators. Dedicated ice maker in separate bar area. Plentiful parking. 3 minutes walk to the beach or the mall.

We stayed in this beautiful Victorian home for our office Christmas Party weekend! There was plenty of room for everyone and plenty of off street parking! Nicely renovated kitchen and bathrooms. The owner, Tim, is quick to respond and very accommodating. Short walk to the beach and to the shops on Washington Street. We had such a good time, we are thinking about coming back this summer to enjoy the beach. Highly recommended staying here!

Love Aunt Ann's Cottage

Aunt Ann's is conveniently located on Congress with easy access to the beach and the ped mall. It has a terrific kitchen with 2 ample refrigerators and counter space, and ample room for a family of 12, which we had, or more if need be. The host,Tim, communicated well and saw to all of our needs. Highly recommended.

Best of Cape May

This is a great house. The house was built in 1887 so it’s a true Victorian with wonderful high ceilings and a great porch. bedrooms are big and the house is quiet. the furniture is comfortable and great for a beach house. the kitchen and bathrooms and air conditioning have all been redone and are modern. The dining room seats12 comfortably. The location can’t be beat. Off street parking for the cars and after that you never need to get into a car unless you want to because you can walk two blocks to the beach one block to the mall and all of the restaurants, and acme grocery store. We were there for a college roommate reunion, and we all had a great time. Highly recommend it
