BYO Linens & Towels! Great location, Beautiful Kitchen, Fun for everyone!

This was the ideal set-up for us! We had a huge family reunion in the space and it was enough bedrooms for all of us, including one on the first floor for the folks who had trouble with stairs. It's just important to note that you need to bring your own sheets, pillowcases, towels, including hand towels and kitchen towels. The location was great and we were able to walk to all the shops and participate in the town activities. I highly recommend!

Lovely home

The inside of the house was lovely. The kitchen, dining area, living area, bedrooms, and bathroom were great. Betz were comfortable, except for one room which we didn’t end up using. The only issue was was the outside of the house needs a lot of work. We were not able to sit at all.

Great for Large Families

This was a nice house in a great location. It worked very well for my large family. The bedrooms are divided across three floors, which didn’t bother us but could be challenging for some, especially if they have heavy luggage. The house is right across the street from Congress Hall, walking distance to the beach, and super close to shopping and restaurants. It had everything that we needed, and the owner was quick to respond to messages. The only two things that we didn’t care for- 1. Many of the lights, fans, and sinks have sensors. The lights coming on in the halls at night was bothersome when we were trying to check on sleeping babies or someone was already asleep. It looks like everything is supposed to be connected to Alexa but it didn’t work well for us, which was also frustrating. 2. I didn’t see to bring our own linens in the initial posting. That’s no one’s fault but my own, but I wish that it had been stated more prominently. Overall, we liked the house and would stay again.

Great House

This house had everything you need, it was Modern (especially for Cape May), clean and had a great location. parking can be a little tight if you have a lot of cars but that is far outweighed by the size, location and layout of the house. The house comes with everything you need - beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. as well as a well stocked kitchen. We have stayed at probably 1/2 dozen different houses on Cape May and this one was by far the best. We hope to come back in a few years when we go back!

Great for a mixed group

We had 10 adults and 3 kids (3 - 10 yo). This house had a good portion of adult rooms and two kids rooms that would have worked for an adult single as well. In the heart of the action and 1 block from the beach. Some of the automated sinks and lights were frustrating, but not a show stopper.

Great Weekend Stay in Cape May

The property worked perfectly for our large group of ourselves, our three adult children, and their respective families. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, large kitchen area, and just a block from the beach. The property was clean and well-maintained. When we did have an issue, the owner responded promptly to assist.

Family wedding at Congress Hall

Staying at 220 S Layfayette was very convenient for all the wedding activities and coordinating young children schedules and allowing them some time for rest and play. The house enabled our family to spend time together. The house is very well done location is excellent you can walk to just about everything you might need. I would highly recommend. If someone has difficulty with steps there is a bedroom on the main floor that would only require them to manage the entrance steps. Great family home Thank you. Parking in the rear of house ample

Cape May Weekend

We had 13 adults and 3 small children in Cape May for a wedding weekend and this house was absolutely perfect for us. Plenty of rooms for everyone and a great open concept living space on the first floor. The house had a lot of modern high tech features that embarrassingly we had some trouble with. The location was great, walking distance to the beach, shopping, bars and restaurants. The house provided beach chairs but some were broken. Listing states that there is off street parking for 3 cars but we were able to fit 6! Just beware the house is BYO linens! It didn’t state that anywhere in the listing but thankfully I reached out to the host about beach towels a few days before check in and he notified me! 100% would stay here again.

Girls weekend in Cape May!

We recently rented the house for celebrate a girls weekend for my mom 60th birthday. Not only was the house PERFECT but the location can’t be beat! Communicating with Dev was so easy and quick to respond. The downstairs was so spacious, all 10 of us were able to hang out and enjoy time together. Right across from Congress Hall/ center of town was perfect, walking distance to everything you need. Would highly recommend and planning to stay again!

Great House! Great Location! One block from the Beach!

The house was in a great location, across the street from the stores and restaurants. It's also one block away from the beach! The house was immaculate with an updated kitchen and bathrooms. It's huge! It fit us all very comfortably. The kitchen is well stocked pots and pans and utensils if you plan on cooking some of your own dinners. The beds were comfortable, especially the second floor bedrooms. Just bring some extra pillows. There are extra beach chairs, umbrellas and even a boogie board in the basement. The AC worked great, even on the higher floors. Parking is convenient in the back of the house. We fit six cars. I would definitely rent this house again!

Property has potential to be outstanding!

So many upgrades to this property but sadly by end of July, the house was really taking a beating. Broken windows, ripped screens, cluttered and unorganized kitchen, badly stained carpeting throughout the house and sadly deficient cleaning effort. A lot of $$’s to rent this property. Owner was easily accessible but could do a lot more during the season to keep the property worthy of the money they are asking during high season in Cape May. Very disappointed. On line pictures show a pristine house. Not so for us.

Cape May ❤️

Perfect house, perfect location! We have been coming to Cape May for 15+ years. We have always stayed on Howard Street @ the same house and decided to change it up and we are beyond happy with the new house and location! Neighbor was slightly challenging to deal with the first night but we worked things out and it was a great week!
