Beautiful house 1 block from the beach!

We have been staying at this property for years. It’s a great location and we love the house. Nice outdoor space too. Owner is easy to get in contact with if needed. Only one block to the beach, arcade, golf, and more.

We have stayed here before and knew what to expect in terms of needing to provide basically everything for our stay, and I mean EVERYTHING, such as toilet paper, kitchen sponge, paper towel, etc. The layout of the unit along with the two bathrooms and kitchen are great; however, the owners clearly don’t put in the care necessary to keep the unit from feeling run down and sad. They have added new “used” furniture and decore, which in theory would be a good thing. Unfortunately, almost all of the additions don’t make sense. For example, in the upstairs loft bedroom a sofa was added that blocks the closet. I was unable to open the only closet until I shimmed the sofa a couple of feet. They also rearranged the vanity in the bathroom and the new dresser in its place made no sense and blocked a much needed outlet. In the downstairs bedroom the additional furniture has ended up overcrowding the room and has made it extremely difficult to walk and get to the closet. On the upside, there was a new sofa in the living room which made family time much better than it had been in past years. Also, there is a nice sitting area outside, but an umbrella would make it even better. Parking at this accommodation is always a problem. However, the location is pretty good. There is a mini golf course, some nice food establishments, Kohrs ice cream, Fudge Kitchen, and the beach is only one block away. The only downside about the location is that it is a bit of a distance from Washington Square.

overall this was a great property in an excellent location. Some details need improvement, however. The cutlery is rusty. There is just no reason for that. Some appliances like the toaster were broken. There was a significant sugar ant problem, with traps out already so it was already a known issue that wasn't dealt with properly. I noticed that some issues we had were mentioned on prior reviews, so while they were not huge problems, it suggests the property manager is not dealing with them promptly. The house was otherwise comfortable, roomy, in a fantastic location. I would stay here again for sure, it's just disappointing that there is not more attention being paid to these issues - it gives the feeling that the owners are just not connected to what is going on at the property. In some ways, it felt more like some of the rustic cabins I have stayed in (bring your own soap, shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, even dish soap) while being in a location (Cape May) that usually caters to more comfort. Are the owners really unable to provide some basic toiletries or replace a knife block? At this price point, they really should be.

The location to beach and shops is fabulous, but no parking, warning! The problem was the details. The master bedroom cover had stains (ick), the 2 pans were scratched up and burned previously and the knives were rusty. The furniture was patio furniture, uncomfortable, not for lounging. Our master closet had a table in it so we had very little space to hang clothes on the wire hangers, which I haven’t used in decades. No sugar packets. Beach accessories were taken by other tenants. Don’t cook if you stay here, no dishwasher detergent. Renovated showers were a plus. Didn’t meet the owners but seemed nice from correspondence.
