Lovely Holiday weekend

Lori was absolutely wonderful to deal with the entire time. We were five couples that travel together frequently, and the house was perfect for us. It was clean, comfortable, and everything we needed was provided. We will be back!

Family Beach week

The house was perfect for our requirements: staying with my husband and me were our 3 adult children, their spouses and children. We fit 13 people comfortably and each had his/her own space for sleeping. The wrap around porch was great for sitting, reading and people watching and the patio was a nice gathering place after the beach etc. Cape May is a lovely town with beautiful beaches and a plethora of shops. The host was very quick and gracious and responsive to all questions.

Great location & communication

Beautiful home in a great location! 3 blocks to the beach and less than 2 blocks to main part of town. Fantastic porch for relaxing, reading, or watching the people passing by. Plenty of rooms and space to spread out for our group of 11. Great communication before and during our stay with Lori, and very responsive to needs. Thank you!

Senior Fun!

I'm talking seniors as in age. Five couples came together in Cape May and ended up staying at the John F. Craig house. We reserved the Lovely Lorelei however the roof was being repaired and the road in front was being resurfaced by the city, so the owner offered another property closer to the beach and shopping! Thank you Lori!! We had the best time! We loved the remodeled kitchen, having a bedroom on the first floor, hanging out on the front porch and the overall history of the house. All-in-all, we loved getting together and spending our time in this beautiful Victorian home! Suggestion for readers...be sure to check availability with Lori before reserving on Vrbo! I missed that detail.

Girl Cousins Weekend!

Without a doubt, my best experience with VRBO yet! Lori, our host could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The house is comfortable and beautifully decorated. It truly enhanced our Cape May experience. So close to the Cape May shopping area and a nice walk to the beach. This was perfect for the 13 of us. Smaller groups could go their own way and meet back at the house for group conversation, games, happy hour and laughter! We all had not been together in so long. The house, the location, the attention from Lori, and of course reconnecting with cousins, all served to rejuvenate the soul! Thank you Lori, for helping to make it special!

Fabulous amenities!

The house is great - and all the little extras were very much appreciated - like 6 beach tags, the beach box, tissues (other rentals don't seem to think of this), excellent AC (it was a VERY hot week), a well equipped kitchen, and a wonderful wrap around porch. The very thoughtful welcome basket was a great added touch. Lori is very responsive if you have any questions or concerns. Planning to come back next year - and hopefully many years after!

A Great Stay in Cape May

We absolutely loved the house, it was spacious and right near all of the greatest spots to be. From restaurants to Congress Hall and the beach we didn’t have to drive our entire stay. The house was so clean and spacious and Lorie was absolutely the best. She was so helpful in accommodating us we can’t wait to go back.

Thanksgiving in Cape May with Family

From beginning to end, the owner, Lori was amazing. She responded immediately to all of our questions and requests. We cooked most meals at the house as we were a large group. The kitchen offered all appliances, plates, pots, etc needed for our group. The home was a short walk to the Washington Mall, Harriet Tubman Museum and beach. A few minutes ride to the lighthouse and other attractions. Accommodated our family of various ages. Would definitely return again. Thank you Lori for being a great host.

Perfect location to all activities

The Lorelei is perfect on so many levels...the location is perfect for shopping, dining and the beach. We walked everywhere. The house is so beautiful and fit our family perfectly. There is enough room for everyone to spread out and get away from the craziness of being together but also intimate enough to spend time with the family. Lori is the perfect hostess. She was available to answer all questions and she made great recommendations for dining and things to do. We will definitely be back to The Lorelei.

Amazing Property and Awesome Location

You know you are on the right track when right after you book the place the owner reaches out to you with necessary updates. Lori is an amazing host and she helped us through out the process and told us what to bring and what all we could use. She was kind enough to extend our checkout since we had young children and we were able to make the most of our visit there. The house is a 5 minute walk to the beach and it is a beautiful walk. We loved everything about it. For those planning on making their own meals - you can count of Lori to have almost everything. The entire process was awesome. We loved it. Everyone had an awesome time.
