We have stayed here twice now...so that says something. Everything is as is represented in the listing. It is true there is not a real kitchen, but where else can you wash your dishes while showering??? The place is "cozy" and well-appointed. The price point is good relative to other Cape May properties as long as preparing meals in house is not a huge priority. Recommended for sure!

Tranquil perfection! You feel as if you are staying at a friend’s home. Craig is such a warm & welcoming host. He has thought of everything anyone could possibly want & need while staying here. There is a coffee & tea station & a little mini kitchen tucked away in a nook that has a toaster oven, microwave, mini fridge, plates, cups, wine, glasses, spoons, knives etc. There’s art & tons of interesting books in every little nook & cranny of the living room as well as board games. There are little cheat sheets & helpful hints along the way - how to turn on the shower & ceiling fans. Instructions on the beach passes. There is a folder that contains all types of helpful information regarding your stay in the home as well as what to do & best places to eat & shop in Cape May.The home is immaculate & clean. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, hand sanitizers, dish soap, room spray, pens (even an scissor which I needed) are provided. Fast Wi-Fi, fire extinguisher & a carbon monoxide detector included. The home was set at a perfect temperature & ceiling fans made it even better. The landscaping & lush plants are dreamy & make you feel like you are somewhere tropical. It is so peaceful yet only 10 min. to the beach, Washington St. shops, Cold Spring village, boat tours, trails. etcOne of our favorite moments was meeting his precious girls, Canela & Bella. Truly beautiful babies. I recommend staying here 100% & we will definitely stay here going forward on our trips to Cape May!
