Clean apartment and perfect space for our family of 4. We brought two younger kids (3 and 6), and there was plenty amount of space for us all. We enjoyed the gardens, swam in the pool every day, and loved chatting with the hosts. The hosts were accommodating and helped us find local kid-friendly spots for dinners. We would love to come back and stay longer.

I stayed here with my dog Bullet and I can’t say enough good things about this cozy little place in Cape May. Its just out of the way of all the busy parts of Cape May but 5 minutes from the beach. The apartment was immaculate and just as described and the hosts were warm and so kind and generous. And my dog enjoyed playing fetch in the beautiful yard. I can’t wait to come back next summer. It’s so much nicer than a busy hotel! 100% recommend!!

Perfect location that feels just far enough away but still a very short drive to town. The room was lovely, the garden was so cute, and the hosts were great! They were quick to communicate and flexible with our plans.

This was a wonderful in-law apartment in a quiet neighborhood. The homeowners were away on a trip, so we had the place to ourselves. But, we'd had a long and lovely conversation before we arrived so we knew all we needed to know about the place. A well-stocked kitchen, comfy furniture, and beach vibe made it a fun stay. And, we loved Cape May!

Great stay - perfect location - wonderful hosts

My husband and I (plus our dog!) stayed in this one bedroom, one bath apartment - we had access to a huge yard (which our puppy loved). The hosts could not have been nicer - I was there to participate in the Escape the Cape triathlon - very convenient to the race - plus extremely convenient to the town. We loved our three-night stay!

Great stay in Cape May!

This was a great stay at Cape May! The place was exactly as described or perhaps better! We did not get to use the pool due to scheduling, but it looked very tempting and amazing. The street and house was very quiet. This was very close to the beach and other places we wanted to visited. The host was extremely warm and welcoming but respectful. Would stay again!

Cape May weekend

We were so happy to stay at Randy and Chris’s place for our weekend in Cape May. Everything was so beautiful, clean, and cozy. Randy and Chris are amazing hosts who are so friendly, accommodating, and thoughtful. The house and yard is gorgeous, and the location is perfect- quiet and calm while being just a short ride away from the beach and town. We look forward to staying again!

Loved our stay!

Chris and Randy were excellent and accommodating hosts. This was our second stay in Cape May, specifically West Cape May, and we are a big fan of this area (close drive to the beach/downtown without the craziness). This place was perfect for me, my husband and our baby. The bedroom is spacious with plenty of room for us, the pack'n'play and our luggage. Living space was cozy and the kitchen had everything we needed. We would highly recommend!

Spacious Apartment Close to Town and Nature

This is a very comfortable apartment half a mile from Cape May town and about the same distance from the South Cape May Meadows preserve. Chris greeted us and showed us around and she and Randy were available for questions and recommendations. My wife and I enjoyed a lovely few days in Cape May.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Isenhart

Host profile image
I fell in love with Cape May while in college and it's been home ever since. I live here year round with my family. We feel lucky to live in such a beautiful area. We love to travel to other places, but are always happy to return to our Cape Island! When our long time year round tenant moved cross country to be closer to family, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to share our little bit of paradise with others!

Why they chose this property

During college I came to Cape May to work for the summer. I got the sand between my toes and in my heart! Aside from returning to campus to finish up classes, I've NEVER left!!! That was more than 25 years ago...I can't imagine being away from the ocean. We bought this house 7 years ago because of the location. It's a quiet rural neighborhood, yet a 5 minute bike ride to anywhere in town. We have the best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

Our goal is to make your visit effortless! Just throw some clothes in a bag and come! We provide linens, bikes, beach tags, beach chairs, beach towels, even a cooler to take to the beach if you like! We have all the latest brochures and information about the goings on around town. We'll even help set up babysitting if needed. You are welcome to share the bounty our seasonal vegetable garden. Come out and pick ripe Jersey tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and more! You've got a sunny deck just outside your door and are welcome to share our shady front porch with rockers and hanging baskets! Our location has it all from beaches to birding and hiking to fine dining and antiquing. You may not want to go home!
