We booked this property on Friday morning and they had one room available for what we wanted on Saturday. We had the best weekend that we’ve had in a very long time. I had never been to Cape May so I didn’t really know what I was in store for. I was so happy to hear that after this year they will continue to be open past Labor Day. This will be a definite yearly trip for my husband and I

It was slow as we visited in October. But the stay was great, great location and great view of the ocean. The pool is heated! Wish we would have known that prior to arriving to come prepared with swim wear. We plan to return on the future and would recommend this place for sure!
