Great cozy home in a tree lined quiet neighborhood. Easy to drive around town once you get the lay of the land, but also quite walkable. A short walk puts you at the beach and many shops and places to eat. Another stroll puts you at the Washington Mall pedestrian only shopping area. A 5 minute drive and you are at Sunset Beach! Great place!

Enjoyed our stay. Take note there aren’t sheets and those need to be rented, but this seems to be a norm in the area. Living room door situation is odd and if there weren’t kids upstairs when we were there it may have felt uncomfortable but overall enjoyed our stay.

There was a lot going on with all the other rental units and neighbors but everyone was so nice and made us feel welcomed! This place is exactly what it states, shared porch and two bedrooms. We loved walking to the beach and enjoying cape May!

Perfect porch for a relaxing stay.

Weather wasn’t great, but this house sure was. Plenty of room to spread out. A well stocked kitchen with all the gadgetry needed for meal prep. And the porch was the perfect spot to rest when Mother Nature kept us off the beach.

Inside the property was great. As advertised and clean. Outside the property was confusing as the owner had personal items in the area advertised as being part of the rental. Such as the grill, table and beach chairs, which as confusing on what we could use. Nick was very responsive.

Nice weekend stay

The apartment was very clean and equipped with everything you need, except for pillow cases and sheets, so don't forget these. It is located in a very nice residential area, walking/biking distance to the beach, restaurants and cafés. We enjoyed seating on a nice porch in the evenings. Overall a great place in West Cape May neighborhood with its local vibes!

Location is excellent

The location of the property is awesome ! However , the beds could definitely be upgraded, terrible sleeping conditions. The floors were extremely cold and not great. (Some foundation issues) The bathroom is tiny- very tight. It served its purpose for our needs. Owner was responsive.

Good location, not very comfortable

The location was great. There was an odor throughout the unit that smelled like cat & there were cobwebs in both bedrooms. The family staying upstairs were incredibly loud-you could hear every footstep. It was reasonable priced, but overall not a comfortable stay.

Great stay

We had a great stay here. The location is the best! Just a few minutes walking from the beach and from the Washington street with all the restaurants and shops. The house itself is very clean and has everything for a beach vacation. The communication with the property manager was nice and easy! After we came home we realised that we forgot a ton of staff at the rental, and the owner was so nice that he mailed everything to us!! I really appreciated it, it tells you that the owners really care about their guests and will do their best to ensure that the guests are having a nice stay! Some people complained about the parking, but we never had an issue finding one, just follow the parking recommendations on the listing. If I ever come back to Cape May, I will definitely book this property again!

Inconvenient layout; no counter or lighted mirror in bathroom; very dirty front porch; ants in front bedroom; lack of information about dealing with trash; hard to operate many of the blinds.

Adequate, but overpriced!

This place was adequate for a three night off season stay, but I wouldn't want to stay there longer in season. It sits on a block of Windsor Street that is "Parking by Permit Only" with no loading zones available. Nearby blocks of Windsor and Congress streets have extremely limited or metered parking as well. While the owner invested significant money on the kitchen, the rest of the furniture (excluding the TV) look like they came from garage sales. You have to pass through the kitchen and laundry room to get to the one bathroom. While the bathroom was adequate, I would not recommend it for larger people. The value for the price of this place is poor. When I compare the price of a beachfront Summer Station two bedroom rental that includes linens, housekeeping, parking, and new furniture to the final VRBO price (including fees and cleaning), this place is a MUCH poorer value. We didn't stay at Summer Station because this was a last minute visit and they had no vacancy. There were some other issues, but I will communicate them to the owner directly as they are hopefully fixable before you choose to rent here.

Overall, fine for a short stay

The location of the unit in Cape May is lovely and the owners are friendly. The check-in and out was easy. We were traveling with a toddler and had some difficulties with the space that I share not to complain but to improve your idea of the space (particularly if you are a family with kiddos): - only one of the two bedrooms has a traditional door; the green room has a French door with shades - French doors also separate this unit/portion of the house from the rest of the house - it can get noisy when the family upstairs is home, which made it nearly impossible for us to get our babe down for a nap or bed - bedrooms are on the small side and we had trouble finding a place for the portable crib
