Wonderful Cape May house and host

We had an amazing stay at Bob and Kathy’s Beach House. We felt very welcomed upon our arrival by the multiple treats left for us by the host. The house was extremely clean and well organized. Everything we needed was included in the house. The backyard provided a wonderfully relaxing environment. The communications with the host were very easy. We’d highly recommend this listing to anyone seeking to stay in Cape May.

Peaceful & Charming Home

We loved our time in what my family has named "The Eldredge Blue Tail." The home is beautiful, peaceful, and so comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the screened in porch. It is an inviting space. Many stories were told over coffee this past week. Everything about the property is lovely. We could not have asked for a better space.

Great home for a family vaca!

We loved Robert and Kathy’s house. It is so well kept and meticulously prepared for every guest. We’ve been renting houses for many years in multiple locations in NY and NJ and this is one of the best we’ve encountered. It is in a quiet neighborhood close to many attractions. Thank you for letting our family enjoy your beautiful house, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Our happy place!

We have stayed in this property several times over the years, and have loved every minute. It’s truly my kids’ happy place: they absolutely love being able to jump into the pool at any moment, and maybe they get out of it once a week so we can go to the beach :-) The property has everything you could need, although I still overpack every single time. Outside of paper, towels, and toilet paper, I have never had to reach into my own supply because everything is there already. Yet, I still pack it every visit. From cooking implements, to plastic wrap and aluminum foil, to beach, chairs, and toys for the pool, it’s all there. Having the washer dryer is great, as well, as we get to come home without the burden of a ton of laundry to do, and we keep the beach and pool towels clean. We absolutely love the neighborhood, which is quieter, and a bit removed from all the noise and tourists. We also love being close to the bay and the beautiful sunsets. This year, we got to watch the Perseid meteors from the backyard, which is just an amazing memory for us to have. I’ve had a couple of interactions with the owners, and they are lovely people as well – always happy to help if there is an issue, and great at communicating things like pool, maintenance, landscaping, and reminders to put the trash out. All in all, this is just a lovely place. I wish we could stay forever.

Amazing Girls weekend

The home was absolutely beautiful! We were able to enjoy the hot tub, and the coffee/cocktail bar was such a nice touch.. The house was spotless. Although the weather was not great we were able to get in a few walks to the bay and walk the beach. We also spent the an afternoon at the winery, everyone was so nice there and the wine was pretty good!

This property was perfect for our family. Our hosts were extremely thoughtful about ways to make us feel welcome. The house, the porch, and the pool were clean and welcoming. It's in a great location to enjoy the bay beach as well as "downtown" Cape May. Can't recommend it more highly.

A seamless rental experience from start to finish. I can’t say enough good things about the location, kindness of owners and numerous house amenities. I’ve rented annually in Cape May for over 15 years and family agrees this was the best. Hope for a repeat experience next year! Warm regards Karen & Jay Benenson

I planned a girls weekend and the house truly made the weekend that much better! The house was so clean and homey. The outdoor amenities were wonderful! We used the patio and pool area every day and relaxed in the screened-in patio when it rained. The neighborhood was quiet and a short uber ride to the beautiful downtown area. Such a perfect home away from home!

Girls Weekend

Went to Kathy and Bob’s house with 6 of my longtime girlfriends. We were blown away by the cleanliness and small touches (Keurig cups, snacks, etc.) The hot tub was a great escape from the cold weather. The bay beach is biking distance and I am definitely considering booking for a family trip. A++++ rating from me!

Comfort (despite COVID)

You know traveling for the first time since the pandemic was a bit unnerving but our family was more than ready. Arriving at Bob & Kathy's vacation house, after a 12 hour drive, was so inviting. Not only was the house nearly spotless, they left us welcome gifts. How kind! We felt completely comfortable staying here as it was so clean. The pool was awesome too. Plus it was minimal driving to many areas of interest.

The perfect beach house

My family and I had the most amazing week (7/7-7/14)! This house is absolutely perfect, clean and beautiful as well as well stocked with everything you could possibly need (towels, linens, beach toys, blankets, dishes, everything). The owners were so gracious with all the amenities they Provide, from the wine and candy to the copious amount of toiletries. The coffee bar was a huge hit (and so well stocked upon arrival). The enclosed porch is the perfect place to have coffee in the morning and we found ourselves out there at night too. Our kids absolutely loved having the pool to swim in day and night. We cannot say enough good things about this property. The owners were very responsive and so easy to deal with. We will most definitely be back next summer!

We loved everything about our stay. Bob and Kathy are warm, wonderful hosts and incredibly responsive. Their immaculate, well-appointed home is all you read about, and more. The neighborhood is friendly and quiet in a location perfectly situated for days at the bay, visiting historic Cape May, the zoo, lighthouse, etc. We loved the pool, hot tub, screened porch, bikes, and ping pong! There is plenty of space to relax and enjoy, with great board and card games to play on rainy days. We celebrated my mom's birthday here and she loved it so much she got teary-eyed.

Beautiful home!

Bob and Kathy’s home was such a perfect place for our family vacation! We had two families there, both with kids 5 and under. The four bedrooms are paired off, separated by the the kitchen so there was good noise control for the kids’ respective bedtimes. The outside patio was a lovely place to spend time during hot afternoons and the occasional rainy day. We had every kitchen utensil we needed to cook and grill, plenty of dishes and glasses, and there were even basic spices and coffee available! The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay!
