My stay was too short

The cottage is lovely and the grounds are outstanding. I just wish I had been able to stay long. Merlot cottage has a drip coffee maker AND a Keurig—I wish I had know about the latter before the trip, a I would have brought my own K-cups.

Great stay

We had a wonderful weekend visiting the property. It was an ideal location if you’re wanting to be a bit off the beaten path. We loved being so close to the winery yet just a short distance from town, shops and the beach. We had a great time visiting Cape May and look forward to our next trip.

Ants & Blown Fuse

The Merlot cottage is very nice, and clean, however, there should be a warning on VRBO about the ant problem before booking. When you check-in you are given instructions about keeping food in the refrigerator because of ants. Ants were in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The AC in the living room blew a fuse every 20 minutes and we were instructed how to reset the fuse outside. We followed the instructions and still blew a fuse. Thankfully it was not hot and he AC in the bedroom worked great. There were dirty dish towels left in the washer and a very dirty sponge in the kitchen which we threw away. We had to wash the towels since we were only provided 1 towel for each person and we stayed 2 nights. Management did respond to our concerns promptly. The Winery was very nice and so was the winery staff and the grounds are beautiful.

Lovely setting, attention needed

The location and setting on the vineyard are nice. There were however several disappointments and frustrations. There is no cable tv in the house. If you don't mind accessing everything online, then this house is for you. There was however Netflix set on the previous renters profile settings. Upon arrival, the cottage was very musty and the bathroom smelled like cats. After a thorough airing out it was fine, but this should be done prior to check ins. The bathroom door would not close, and the main door had to be slammed each time, to lock. In four days, no fresh towels were provided or offered. On the shelf were sets of two bath, face and wash cloths for the duration. We will research other properties in the future. Perhaps the cottages next door at Plum Beach farm.
