I am so glad I stayed here! The apartment was so charming and cozy. It was clean and had everything I needed! The property was beautiful and I felt like I was in a private oasis amongst the tree tops. Perfect location - walking distance to shopping, sightseeing, and the beach. The hosts were very responsive and made me feel so welcome. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely book here again!

Our experience was fabulous! Staying in the apartment was PERFECT! We had plenty of room and didn't feel like we were on top of each other unlike when we stayed at other places. The kitchen was perfect for making breakfast before heading to the beach and storing our food. The beds were very comfortable! We will definitely be back and will make this our annual place.

Best Cape May visit ever!

My family and I have been to Cape May several times. We've tried to balance budget and fun by staying in campgrounds, B&B's, motels, etc. The Treetop apartment is the best of all worlds--comfortable, quaint, quiet and close to everything in Cape May. Walk to the beach or shopping in 5 minutes flat! Plus, inside the apartment it is surprisingly roomy. There are 3 flights of wooden stairs to get to your tree house oasis. Take caution--the climb is not suited for everyone. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable and reasonably priced.

Great affordable family option in beautiful Cape May

We booked a 3-night rental for our small but growing family. We have a 4-yr old and are pregnant with our 2nd. We knew about the stairs but weren’t concerned bc we live in a 3-story house and are quite used to lot’s of stairs. The house is lovely, lot’s of vintage charm but has some updates to make it more comfortable. We visited during a nasty heat wave and the AC did a great job keeping us comfortable. We loved the balcony off the apartment and the location of this rental. Two things to note, you have to park on the street, but we didnt have issues finding parking close by and Bob and Jane’s apartment has smoke and CO alarms and there is a fire exit from within the apt as well. Im someone who travels with my own smoke/CO alarms and was relieved to see safety taken so seriously at this rental. Bob and Jane were friendly and helpful hosts. Overall, this was a great family vacation spot for our little family and we enjoyed having such a prime location to explore the beauty of Cape May from.

Photos Do Not Do Justice to this Accommodation!

Booking last minute for a Cape May stay over the 4th of July is impossible; we were absolutely the lucky ducks to have snagged this rental! I cannot stress that the photos do not convey the wonderful light and openness of Treetops. The rooms are cozy and light-filled during the day, and require no electric light. It is an understatement to say that cleanliness is the first thing that determines the quality of a stay for my family, and Treetops didn't disappoint; as clean as any 5-Star upscale hotel, which is saying something. The beds were comfy- and I stress comfy! Mattress pads stayed in the car! The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you might want or need in Cape May- considering all the options for takeaway. And then there is the deck. I will let you and yours experience the pleasure of that little gem! Bob and Jane are very friendly without being obtrusive, they have the most lovely grounds and details- including the playful Holly, 3 resident bunnies, a koi pond, and space for bikes. If you love dogs, don't miss out on the row of little faces lined up below the deck fence of the adjoining property- when you see it you can't unsee it and it will charm you right down to your toes! Steps are steps- we welcomed the exercise, and even on the 4th with people pouring in to town, parking was available. You can always wake early after the day trippers have gone and pull your car onto the block with no problem. TEN stars!

About the host

Hosted by Either Bob or Jane Elwell - owners

Host profile image
We have lived here since 1964. The first and only house we ever lived in. Bob was born and raised in Cape May. We raised three children and they still live in the area so we see our grandchildren often! We are both retired. Bob worked in law enforcement and retired from the Prosecutor's Office in Cape May Court House. He was also on City Council for 10 years (6 as Mayor!). I retired from Lower Cape May Regional School District as the Principal's Secretary.

Why they chose this property

We decided to turn our 3rd floor into a summer apartment so others could enjoy Cape May as much as we do

What makes this property unique

Everyone who has stayed here says they feel as if they are 'home'. It has a very warm and inviting feeling. We make our own jam and our guests are welcomed with a jar upon their arrival.
