Great little cottage

Nice and tucked away but still close to all your needs. The dogs are friendly and makes it feel like home. Tons of extra linens and loved the board games as well. Top my of list when we come back to Cape May.

We really enjoyed staying here. Lovely location, minutes away from beautiful beaches, distilleries, vineyards. Amanda is a rockstar. The place was immaculately clean with all amenities as described. Chickens and dogs bring wonderful character and personality to the place. Highly recommend.

Great place to stay in Cape May!

Our stay at the Scallop Shack was great! Everything about this property is exactly as shown in the listing. Amanda and Brady are great (and very interesting!) hosts! The location is good, on average a 10 minute drive to nearly anything you want to see in Cape May. The dogs, Cutter and Crew, plus the chickens just add to the experience! We will definitely stay here again if we return to Cape May. Thank you!

Simply the best!

My friend and i thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Scallop Shack, everything about it was unique and wonderful. We especially enjoyed watching the chickens (the girls) when they would line up to go in the coop at night! The property was so tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean and the owners are fabulous people. Once we got our bearings we realized that the location was great, convenient to all that Cape May has to offer! Highly recommend staying here, hope to return!

Beautiful Accommodations

We really enjoyed our stay at the Scallop Shack. Everything was just as described in the listing and the host provided us with plenty of linens. The kitchen was stocked with all the dinnerware/utensils we needed. The location was convenient; only a short drive to most attractions we attended. The host's hospitality was greatly appreciated. She was welcoming and glad we were enjoying ourselves. You can't go wrong choosing the Scallop Shack!

Scallop shack guest house

We are so glad we stumbled across this exceptional guest house! My husband, daughter and I absolutely loved this place! Ideal location right near the bay. We enjoyed our morning walk along the bay and the sunset was outrageous! The place was immaculate and exactly as shown in listing. The hosts were so nice, they left us fresh eggs in the fridge from their chickens. Their dogs Cutter and Crew were so adorable, it was nice having them around! Everything was very special and we look forward to staying again sometime!

Perfect getaway

My husband and I planned a getaway and I must say the Scallop Shack was perfect! It was so clean and welcoming, had everything you could want and more! We rented because of everything available and didn’t need to use the kitchen much more than the fridge but it was wonderful to have the option. The welcome book was so well thought out and helped us decide at least one of our meals. There was no point we did not feel comfortable and hopefully someday we will get a chance to go back! Close enough to Cape May restaurants and such but far enough to enjoy some relaxing and quiet. Would recommend!

Perfect for our family of 5

Initially reluctant to book a home in Cape May with a 9 minute drive to the beach and home owners on the property. So happy we decided to give it a go. The home was perfect for our family of 5. My boys ages 9,5 and 3 enjoyed the space and the drive back from town helped them relax and get ready for bed. They enjoyed the chickens in the back and the friendly dogs. Home had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Amanda was great and not intrusive at all. All around great time was had by all. Thanks for the fresh eggs. Such a nice touch.
