Purple Starfish
The Purple Starfish is a charming, beautiful, and well-appointed home. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is magnificent. The Washington Street Mall and numerous restaurants are within walking or biking distance as well as the beach. You will not be disappointed with a visit to Cape May and the Purple Starfish.

A beautiful house
This house is beautiful, big, very well kept, and clean. We had a great stay. but here are a few notable points that may be helpful to others: 1) house is best for adults/older kids. we came with two 1 year olds and it worked out better than I feared but not ideal. The walk to the beach is probably doable for adults but with a family you still need to drive. 2) the listing is clear about this but I did not like having to bring our own linens, particularly after having to pay such a large cleaning fee. The checkout to-do list was also a little more onerous than I would prefer. 3) house layout is a little weird. Only 2 toilets but 3 showers + a tub in a bedroom which also sleeps 5 people. The picture show this clearly but it’s confusing when you are looking at them.

Another wonderful stay!
My family spent 5 days at this terrific property between Christmas and New Years. The house was decorated beautifully for the holidays. It was our 4th visit, and another comfortable and wonderful stay for our family. Thanks Donna!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Gaskill

Host profile image
I grew up in Delaware County, PA and met my husband at Penn State University. He is from Pittsburgh and Cape May is the one thing we always agree on! We have been vacationing in Cape May since we were married in 1990. We have watched this great town evolve other the years, and it has been truly exciting to watch. It has been our dream to purchase a home here, giving us the opportunity share our our passion for this unique destination with others. We hope you fall in love with this beautiful seaside resort just as we did when we were young!

Why they chose this property

It was important for us to find a property that captured the true flavor and spirit of Cape May. A victorian style home was a must if we were truly going to share the experience, tradition and splendor this area has to offer. There is something special about a victorian home that takes you back, and takes you away. We are working tirelessly to bring this house back to historic charm.
