House was perfect for our trip to Cape May for the Christmas festivities Short drive to downtown and a short walk to the bay. Great place for a weekend getaway. From the time we booked until check in day the host was very attentive and provided all the details we needed. We would stay here again if we decide to come back next year.

Sweet little cottage right by quiet bayside beach

We had a fantastic vacation at Arbor Cottage. The walk to the beach couldn’t be beat and the house was adorable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

Beautiful Cape May Bay Cottage

The cottage was beautifully updated. Plenty of space for our family. Having the three bedrooms and two full bath are a must for us. Also short trips to Cape May Zoo, town of Cape May, Wildwood Boardwalk, and of course a short walk to the Cape May Beach. The beach was very peaceful.

Beach get away

We loved the location . The beach was only a few steps away and the sunset was beautiful. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer. The host was easy and quick to respond to any questions and gave great recommendations for the area. Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Arbor Cottage. The home was clean and inviting and comfortable for both our young kids and elder parents. We enjoyed the close proximity to the neighborhood beach and the backyard patio and grill. The hosts were easy to communicate with throughout our stay.
