Great Stay

Beautiful home with plenty of space for a large number of guests. Home was very clean upon check in. Was very impressed with everything you could need being supplied in the kitchen, as that can sometimes be hit and miss with some houses. Owners very courteous and responsive with any questions I had. House was also close to the beach and Washington St. Would love to stay here again when returning to Cape May.

This is a beautiful property, conveniently located near everything. You can easily walk to beaches, the market, and excellent restaurants. The hosts were friendly and easily accessible.

LOVED The Fox Den!

The pictures don't do this house justice! It's bigger, newer, cleaner and better stocked than you think. The hosts couldn't have been more responsive and thought of every single detail of what we would need and how to help us feel at home from the moment we walked in until we left. If you're on the fence...book it! You will not be disappointed.

Amazing!!

We love Cape May and make several trips per year. This property never disappoints. We love the location and open communication with the property owner directly. Tom always makes sure we are comfortable and thinks of special touches such as candy canes for the kids and a Christmas gift and card upon arrival. The Christmas tree and exterior decorations are impeccable. We will return year after year as long as you’ll have us!!

Fox Den at its Best

Our family has been going to Cape May for over 20 years and the Fox Den is one of the best homes we have stayed at. The kitchen is very well furnished with everything you would have in your own home!! The beds and pillows are all very comfortable. Bedrooms are all spacious and very well appointed. Plenty of hot water and a great outdoor shower. Family room area is wide open and great for family activities. Very nice out door space with lots of relaxing and dining space. The back yard space is a bit limited if you need room for base ball or frisbee but most homes in Cape May have limited yard space. Our whole family highly recommends the Fox Den. You won’t be disappointed!!

This was a beautifully appointed house that suited my family's needs perfectly. There was plenty of space inside and out for people to be on their own and the living room was large enough for us altogether and surprisingly safe for a toddler. The location was perfect for the teens and adults who could either walk or bike to the beach and everywhere else in town but for the family who had a one and a 2-year-old, It was a bit of a schlep. Overall, I would love to return to this house.

Beautifully designed home with quiet spaces for the whole family to enjoy.

The Fox Den was exactly what we hoped it would be: clean, well-appointed, spacious, and nicely decorated. This home has so much to offer. The owners were very helpful throughout our planning process. All had a wonderful, relaxing time, and enjoyed daily walks around town, Congress Hall, and our days at the beach. Cape May has so much to offer. We hope to return one day!

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Fox, Colleen Fox

Host profile image
We grew up in the Philadelphia area and live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Since purchasing our home we've offered our home to guests mainly during the summer months, but recently decided to rent out home off season also. Our growing family uses the family Cape May home throughout the year.
Recently, when we were away on vacation, we noted a quote which describes our rental experiences : "A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet. - Anonymous". We are appreciative of the many relationships developed with “guests” who have vacationed at the Fox Den. We welcome the chance to speak with you about our home and ask you to consider it as you make your vacation plans.

Why they chose this property

Because Cape May is uniquely a "year round" seashore community, our family fell in love with the town, the activities, and events offered throughout the four seasons. There is something to do for all four generations in our family. Since purchasing our home, we've been delighted that so many families make the "Fox Den" their vacation home year after year. From our experience, vacation time can create wonderful memories. We work hard to offer a great product with the hope that the "Fox Den" feels like a home away from home for you.

What makes this property unique

Our home feels beachy! Whether you are sitting on the porch, the comfy couches, or taking an outside shower under the stars, you know you are at a beach home on vacation. We appreciate that many of our guest choose the "Fox Den" year after year as their Cape May go-to place. Being able to walk anywhere in town is so enjoyable! Our grandkids love being able to walk to the beach, grocery store, ice cream shop, and mini golf. Our guests love being able to walk to restaurants, pick up a bottle of wine and relax in the backyard conversation pit after a busy Cape May day. Because there are bedrooms, laundry facilities, and family rooms on both floors, our home works for multiple generations or families.
