Charming old Victorian former bed & breakfast, so much fun to stay here and have the whole place to ourselves! The sun porch is for sure the highlight, a perfect place to gather both morning and evening. It was still cold while we were there but plenty warm on the porch, especially with the little electric fireplace going. The place has many of the quirks you'd expect from an old house, and could be more thoughtfully cleaned and maintained, but none of that detracted from our enjoyment. Great place!

Wonderful stay

My girlfriends and I stayed for a weekend at this lovely house. It was very comfortable, with the two living rooms, sunroom and bedrooms with en-suite bath for each of us. The house was walking distance to shopping, restaurants and the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to visit again!

Cape May Weekend

It was a 70th birthday celebration. The home was beautiful and had just about everything except toilet paper. There was nothing in the description telling us we needed to bring our own. It was located in the heart of Cape May, which made walking to restaurants, shops and the beach very convenient.

Christmas family gataway

Every year our family picks a place to go for a few days to put us all in the Christmas spirit. This year we picked Cape May NJ. We found this home on Vrbo and we can only say from start to finish the experience was wonderful. The house was more then we could have ask for or expected. Is in the perfect location on a block away from Washington street and fully decorated to make the sprite even come more to life. When we go back in the future we will stay here without a doubt.
