Live like a local!

The property is located away from the busy beachfront area of Cape May but close enough to be there within a few minutes, quick bike ride (longer walk but you can do it). You will definitely feel like a local vs just being on vacation, which I liked very much. We stayed in September so it was quieter but I could see it being difficult to find parking in town during high season. No issue off-season. The property is in a good location with access to everything Cape May has to offer. Chris and Randy are super nice people, the kind that you feel you have known for a long time. We traveled with our dog which made this the perfect setting for us. If you dont mind no frills and just a place to hang your hat at the end of the day vs a fancy hotel room, especially if traveling with a pet then this is for you. Its a larger type apartment with everything you need, even bikes which we did use to ride over to the west cape may side to visit the bay beaches and winery. The furnishings are typical of a beach rental, older couches which I would suggest to be replaced with a future upgrade as they are getting tired. But I understand in a pet friendly rental not opting for anything expensive. We did mention to chris that the bedroom ceiling fan could use a look as it was making noise, either tightening up or replacement. Kitchen has everything you need, central air worked great and we were comfortable. You have access to their garden too! Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Cozy, convenient, and delightful

What a perfect place to stay for a short beach visit! We went down to Cape May on a lark over Labor Day weekend and were so happy to find this place. The apartment is tidy, pullout sofa worked fine for the kids, the pool is astonishingly sparkling clean, and the carefully tended gardens are charming. If you're coming for the beach and are just looking for a place to spend the evenings, this place hits the spot! And best of all, the owner's communication was prompt, clear, and friendly. Great experience!

Fabulous stay!!!

The pictures of this listing do not do it justice. We would love to come back every year! Chris is just 7 minutes from the beach and a 5 minute drive to a local Acme for any last minute items you need. My sister and I stayed the weekend with her dog, Frankie. Chris was so welcoming and helpful yet made sure we had our private space to thoroughly enjoy the weekend on our own. We even had a few family members join us for an evening. We sincerely appreciate Chris's flexibility and help throughout the weekend. The only piece of feedback is to update the pictures online because her apartment is much more adorable, quaint, bright, clean and beachy than originally presented on the listing. It has everything you need for a short stay. Highly highly recommend!!!

47th Anniversary’s n Get Away…

We enjoyed our stay. The owners we very nice and helpful. The location was extremely clean and accommodating. The back entrance to house was very private.But need some lighting for night time entrance. Over all we had fun in Cape May and loved the location. We are hoping to come back early spring 2024.

Cape May weekend

We were so happy to stay at Randy and Chris’s place for our weekend in Cape May. Everything was so beautiful, clean, and cozy. Randy and Chris are amazing hosts who are so friendly, accommodating, and thoughtful. The house and yard is gorgeous, and the location is perfect- quiet and calm while being just a short ride away from the beach and town. We look forward to staying again!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Isenhart

I fell in love with Cape May while in college and it's been home ever since. I live here year round with my family. We feel lucky to live in such a beautiful area. We love to travel to other places, but are always happy to return to our Cape Island! When our long time year round tenant moved cross country to be closer to family, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to share our little bit of paradise with others!

Why they chose this property

During college I came to Cape May to work for the summer. I got the sand between my toes and in my heart! Aside from returning to campus to finish up classes, I've NEVER left!!! That was more than 25 years ago...I can't imagine being away from the ocean. We bought this house 7 years ago because of the location. It's a quiet rural neighborhood, yet a 5 minute bike ride to anywhere in town. We have the best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

Our goal is to make your visit effortless! Just throw some clothes in a bag and come! We provide linens, bikes, beach tags, beach chairs, beach towels, even a cooler to take to the beach if you like! We have all the latest brochures and information about the goings on around town. We'll even help set up babysitting if needed. You are welcome to share the bounty our seasonal vegetable garden. Come out and pick ripe Jersey tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and more! You've got a sunny deck just outside your door and are welcome to share our shady front porch with rockers and hanging baskets! Our location has it all from beaches to birding and hiking to fine dining and antiquing. You may not want to go home!
