Good location
We wanted a little getaway with our dog. Since it was off season we were able to walk the beach with our dog. We visited Cape May and we ate at 2 local restaurants (Castaway for breakfast & 5 West for dinner)so we weren’t far from our pet.

Shell Shack
We loved every minute of our stay at the Shell Shack! Everything was clean and decorated so wonderfully with a beach theme. We were surprised to find many amenities available in the home when we arrived that we were not expecting and the proximity to the bay was perfect for walks to view the sunset. It was a relaxing visit and I definitely recommend staying at the Shell Shack.
