My family and I loved our stay at the Portside cottage! It was exactly as pictured, beautiful counter tops, great bathrooms and adorable coastal decor. Cleanliness was 10/10 as well. The location was perfect for us, it offered privacy while still being close enough to the charming town of Cape May. We will definitely be back!

Cape May Gem

We had a great stay in Cape May at the Portside Cottage! The house was well-appointed with everything one might need after a day at the beach or exploring the island. The marina is a quiet spot, but still in close proximity to all Cape May has to offer. We look forward to returning in the future!

Amazing rental

Christiane was so easy to get in touch with. She let me know what we needed to do/bring to the rental. The house was in a great location. Easy to walk to a few restaurants and still a quick drive to the beach and the Washington street mall. I’d love to stay at the Portside Cottage again!

Wonderful Memorial Day Weekend

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 children (16yo and 12yo) for a long Memorial Day weekend. It was a wonderful stay, the house is beautiful, clean and so warm and welcoming. We were incredibly comfortable and felt very taken care of by the hosts. The house is in a great, quiet location with a lovely view especially of the sunset. It’s away from the shopping and beach crowds which is great in the evening, but close enough that you can be downtown either via a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive. Or you have several restaurants within a half mile from the house. In the evening, we found ourselves walking to one of these restaurants for dinner. It was a perfect getaway, and we’ll definitely be back!

An amazing family vacation!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Portside Cottage. Christiane was so attentive and warm and we were thrilled when we arrived to see the lovely, inviting home. It was great to have a calm, restful place to come home to after active days at the beach and boardwalk. We'll definitely be back!

We had an amazing stay at Christiane's lovely cottage at the marina. The place was beautiful, clean and comfortable with all new amenities. I loved being on the quiet marina with the peaceful view of the water and sound of the birds. We loved it so much we will be returning in September!

A Perfect Stay!

We absolutely loved our stay in the Portside Cottage. It was incredibly comfortable with everything you could ask for and more! So many special touches and beautifully renovated/decorated. The location is perfect and very peaceful, so nice to be part of the marina life and surrounded by beauty and happy people. It was also very quiet in the evenings, lovely to come back to after a busy day on the beach. Christianne and her family were wonderful hosts, we instantly felt at home. We loved cooking our meals in their fully equipped kitchen and then eating outside on the patio. Lots of room for our family of 4 to spread out in, tons of fun. We have been coming to Cape May for many years and this was by far our most favourite spot to stay, can't wait to go back next year! Highly recommend!! Thanks again!

A boat side oasis

We had the best time at our stay at The Portside cottage! We were staying for our mini moon and Christiane even left us a bottle of champagne to celebrate! Everything from the decor inside to the beautiful scenery outside was just stunning. Christiane made sure we were all accommodated and responded to any questions we had right away! We will definitely be back! Thanks Christiane!

Portside Bliss

As a yearly visitors to Cape May over the past 20+ years, we never explored the idea of staying near the marina. Happy to say, we loved it!! Chris and Don were fantastic hosts and the place was perfect. They welcomed us in and made us feel at home. Beds were comfy, Wifi strong, space for storing beach gear plentiful, … everything was great. We will definitely be back!

Nice stay in Cape May

We had a great holiday in Cape May. The hosts were helpful and the cottage was nice. My son enjoyed fishing from the pier, so thank you for borrowing all the fishing gear! Our family also found the bikes from the house very convenient for visiting the town for dinners etc. I would definitely recommend this cottage for a family holiday.

An amazing getaway!

We had a great experience at the Portside! We’ve stayed at Cape May for the past 5 years or so and this was a new spot for us. It exceeded our expectations. It felt like a home away from home, really nice, newly updated and comfortable for our family. Had everything we needed. The location is great as well - at a marina but very peaceful and a beautiful view. A short drive to the beach and shopping area etc. We will definitely be staying again! Christiane and Donald were wonderful as well even helped fix our beach wagon.

Great stay in Cape May!

The Portside Cottage was the perfect spot for our week in Cape May. The size was perfect for our group of 4 and it had everything we needed and more! The cottage is very nicely updated with many modern touches and the views of the boats from the front porch made for peaceful and relaxing evenings. The bikes were a great bonus too, as we rode to the beach and downtown nearly every day. Highly recommend!

Fantastic getaway!

Portside Cottage exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful, tastefully decorated, comfortable, and clean. Great location! Close to city center and beaches, and enjoyed looking at the boats in the marina every morning. Christiane was very prompt with answering texts and emails. It was our first visit to Cape May, but I would definitely stay again at Portside Cottage.
