Multiple Family Vacation

Spent a week in July with 3 family groups, totalling 14 adults on Sunday night! The house was lovely, the first floor shared space - living rooms, dining rooms, kitchen are all nicely decorated and comfortable. Altough we didn't cook in, the kitchen has everything you could need. The front porch was great and had plenty of seating for everyone. Nice yard too! Easy access to the beach and all restaurants, definately walkable. Nice to have beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. Many nice touches with supplies, etc. Mary was easy to reach and very responsive to our needs, and nice too!

Family vacation

This house exceeded our expectations! There was plenty of room for 6 children and 7 adults. Every amenity that anyone would want was included, the kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, two dishwashers and ready for use. We were within walking distance of everything, the beach, the mall, great restaurants and shopping. It was a wonderful week !

King's Landing

Very well appointed. Kitchen appliances and setup handled our family of 16. Two kitchen sinks and two dish washers made short work of cleanup. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and accommodating. The short walk to the beach was welcomed by all.

Lovely home, beautiful kitchen supplied w/every necessity. Thank you

I have gone to Cape May since I was 10yo and we have gone to Cape May as a family ever since. My 3 adult children were the ones who suggested going to Cape May this year for our every-other-year family vacation. We had a wonderful time in a lovely home filled w/everything we could want/need. We had beautiful weather. My favorite part of the house was the porch where I enjoyed reading and watching people go by. My family loved being so close to the beach. No matter where we've gone thru the yrs, Cape May has always been top on our list of the vacation locations

The best of everything!

This property is the perfect intersection of old Victoriana outside with updated, modern comforts inside. The location is excellent as well, being steps to both the beach and the Washington Street mall. The property was perfect for a multi-generational vacation! There was room and accommodations for everyone. We loved it!

Location, layout, and landlords - a winning combination!

Our extended family of 13, ranging in age from 1 to 80+, rate this as our best Cape May rental ever . .. and that includes our stay in The Abbey. The location is fantastic - one block to beach and one block to the heart of downtown. Restaurants, grocery and liquor stores, retail shops, bars and clubs, etc. are all a very short walk, so you can leave your cars (up to 5) parked in the driveway and permitted area and stroll to all locations. (And if a restaurant is a bit farther, you can take advantage of the Free Ride golf carts. The layout of this home is unusual for a Victorian, but our family found it a welcome change. The first floor layout is wide open with two large living rooms set behind a wonderful front porch and a very state of the art kitchen - with two dishwashers, a wonderful island, a wine fridge, a modern and very large refrigerator, and every up to date appliance you can imagine. The landlords leave tons of open pantry shelves for food, which is astonishing, given the number of dishes, pots, serving ware, etc., they supply. (Another very nice aspect of this home is what they supply to their vacation renters - from paper towels to toilet paper to garbage bags, to all washing and cleaning supplies to kitchen wraps to spices, all you need to do is bring the food and drink of your choosing.) The dining room seated our whole group with ease. In terms of sleeping arrangements, the first floor includes an en suite bath in a queen bedroom. The second floor includes a huge king room with an equally huge en suite bath, and the two other second floor queen bedrooms each have bathrooms en suite, and one has an interior room with a bunk bed while the other has an additional space with a trundle bed. The third floor, which has a large shared bath, includes a very large king bedroom and another room with 4 twin beds. That floor also includes a small kitchen. The landlord was attentive before our stay and responsive during our stay with any questions. They truly take great pride in their property, which is spotless and freshly-painted. In fact, they were so attentive that they noticed the third floor twin bed room seemed a bit warm during the changeover. While we noticed that the first night, before we could even make them aware of that, they contacted us to say they were going to send a contractor over to add a window air conditioner for that room. The air conditioning in the entire house was excellent, and we had a very hot and humid week.

It was an amazing getaway!

We were pleasantly surprised when we were given the tour of the house. It looked exactly like the pictures on the website. The kitchen was state of the art. The bathrooms were beautiful. The beds were so comfortable. The light colors make the house appear larger than it already is. We loved the house! It felt like home.

This is a beautiful Victorian home with a modern, spacious interior. Plenty of comfortable sleeping areas and each bedroom has a full bath! Truly located right in the heart of Cape May so you can easily take advantage of the beach, shopping, restaurants and tours which is key if you are there just for a long weekend like we were.. We rented bikes and walked all weekend: the cars never left the driveway! Very impressed we will be back!!!

thought I would add my review in addition to my husbands. I didnt see his but we all thought great!!

The four grandchildren and their parents, and us the grandparents all had a wonderful time. In addition to the great house we were so lucky with the weather. Many of us even went swimming in the ocean! The house is lovely and there was room for us to all hang out together or for people to find a place to peace and quiet. We ate all our meals at the house and there was everything we needed.

Perfect beach house!

We rented this for our large immediate family for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Mary Beth was very responsive and helpful in clarifying any questions we had. The kitchen in this house is superbly appointed - the two dishwashers were a great help. The house's decor has a calming effect and the bathrooms are also very nice. We loved hanging out on the porch and in the yard. The location couldn't be better - 1.5 blocks to the beach and a block to shopping and restaurants. The grand kids ages ranged from 4 mo to 18 years and everyone had access to great things to keep them interested. We also enjoyed wandering through the neighborhood and admiring the old homes and gardens. Each of my siblings and their families traveled from CO and the south and they all were pleasantly surprised how big the house felt even with 21 guests. This home is very gracious compared to city living! I would highly recommend this gem of a rental house to anyone looking for a beach getaway. My two year old has been asking when we are going back every day for a week now. I hope it can be soon.

Stunning house in a perfect location!

A group of friends rented this gorgeous house for a long weekend and were all blown away by how beautiful it is. We’ve each rented a number of shore houses over the years and this is by far the best any of us has ever visited. It’s even better than the pictures. The entire house has been renovated and decorated to a very high and tasteful standard. It still has all of its original 19th century character but is completely updated with beautiful bathrooms and central air. We felt like we’d walk into a designer show home. The kitchen is SPECTACULAR! Every detail was considered - tons of work space, 2 dishwashers, wine fridge, huge island and cabinets stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses, appliances and cooking tools. All of the bedrooms are a good size and very comfortable. There’s so much space over the three floors that you never feel like you’re on top of each other. It would be perfect for multiple families. We spent a lot of time on the huge wrap-around front porch and the large side yard has a great outside dining table. A double-wide driveway for off-street parking was a great plus. Everything is within walking distance so once you’ve arrived you can put your keys away for the week. I can’t say enough about this beautiful house. The owners were very responsive and accommodating and I can’t believe they’re willing to share this treasure with the rest of us;) I would happily spend every shore vacation at this lovely house on Decatur.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We fulfilled a lifelong dream by purchasing this beautiful historic home that is fully updated with modern large kitchen, bathrooms and furnishings. Our family loves to relax on the front porch and watch the horse and buggies go by. We enjoy that we are able to park our cars in the driveway and not touch them until we leave (or go to the Lobster House). We love walking to town, restaurants, the beach or bars and being in the center of everything Cape May has to offer. Inside we all enjoy our private suites and then gathering in the common areas - the large living room and gourmet kitchen. The chef's kitchen is where we make our family meals and hang out around the island having snacks.

What makes this property unique

This is the best possible location for a Cape May vacation and the parking provided for 5 vehicles is excellent. The large yard is beautifully landscaped and exceptional to find in a Cape May rental.
