Amazing Relaxing Beach/Cape May Retreat

We were immediately enamored by the cottage, its charm and its location to the beautiful beach! As longtime ‘Jersey Shore’ beach lovers, we couldn’t believe that we could hear the waves and glimpse the ocean from the screened in porch. And the beach itself was beautiful and not too crowded. In addition, the cottage is charming, comfortable, fully stocked, and we were so comfortable and felt right at home. Ron and Bernadette were extremely responsive and the home was stocked with beautiful soaps and lotions as well as all paper products. There were books, puzzles and games -You are also only 1 block from the local Cape May shuttle if you don’t want to drive into town. We hope to be able to book another week next summer!

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.
