Charming beachfront cottage
One of our beautiful weeks in Cape May. The cottage was so charming and comfortable. Loved the updated appliances and TVs. Really felt like home. The location was perfect, just a short walk to one of the less crowded beautiful beaches. We did have a chance to meet the owner when we checked in, and he was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Cape May Experience
The 2 bedroom (dog-friendly) cottage was perfect. The spiral staircase, second-floor sun room, and the roof top seating (on the "main building", gave us feel the seaside experience we were looking for. Ron was great to deal with and supplied us with everything we needed to feel at home.

Quaint
Quaint property. Quiet. Needs a bit of up keep and bit of cleaning. Bedrooms are on the first floor along with a full bath and laundry. The mattress in the master bedroom was a bit too firm for our liking so we bought a foam topper to use for our stay. There were a few cobwebs in the rooms and dirt build up in the ceiling vents. The sofa was stained and not comfortable to us. Over all it was quaint but needs some up keep.

So lovely to stay here! It was a bonus to get to meet Bernadette and her husband, Ron. We loved the location, the home, and the love and thoughtfulness that they have put into the home. It is charming, it is creative, it is sooooo relaxing and just wonderful as are Bernadette and Ron. We very much look forward to coming back!

Great week just feet away from the beach
Our family wanted to stay in a quite area of Cape May that was close to the beach. The cottage checked both boxes, and in fact we were much closer to the beach than we thought. Great view of the ocean from the screen porch. The Jitney ran past the house, so getting around Cape May was easy and we didn’t have to drive much. We brought our dog with us and he was fine, however the spiral staircase was tough for the dog. There is a set of stairs outside that leads to the porch, so that was how we got the dog up and down the stairs. Our family was overall very happy to stay there and we enjoyed ourselves for every second we had there.

The location of this home is perfect. Warm and inviting spaces. So nice to be able to bring our dogs. Cape May is so unique and so is this home. I didn't realize that we had to bring linens, but Bernadette brought a brand new sheet set over when I inquired about it.

We usually stay in a hotel for our annual week in Cape May but this year stayed at this wonderful property. I can't say enough positive things about the charm of house itself, the superb location so near one of the quiet beaches, and the graciousness of our hosts. I am so glad to have made this choice and will do so again. I can recommend it wholeheartedly.

birthday celebration at the beach
The cottage is a lovely place, a wonderful combination of modern function with charm. The location is peaceful, and the cottage is furnished with many elements that are interesting to look at or have guests' comfort in mind. I celebrated a milestone birthday there with old friends I hadn't seen since before the pandemic. Our favorite thing to do was sit out on the second floor porch and listen to the sound of the ocean. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for peace, quiet, comfort, and charm! I hope to be a regular guest!
