The property is exactly as pictured and described. The stairs weren't as crazy as some other reviewers have commented, and we had 2 babies under the age of 2. The location was ideal, close to the beach and town!
We had an amazing time in Cape May and the house was in a perfect location for the beach and town. The host was so nice and made sure that everything was perfect!
We had a wonderful time in this comfortable Cape May home. Location could not have been better-easy walk to beach and shopping area through a lovely residential neighborhood. It had everything needed for our family-beach chairs, well stocked cozy kitchen, beautiful patio, comfy bedrooms. The hosts were quick to communicate any time we had a question and were a pleasure to work with. Lots of stairs-so may not be appropriate for everyone.
We had the most wonderful week in this rental. The AC is amazing and kept the entire unit crisp and cool during the heat wave. Very clean, very responsive and kind hosts. Steps up to the unit are not as bad as some reviews state in my opinion, even for my older mother with knee problems. Perfect location close to the beach and town center. Beautiful outside area and a lot of parking! Thanks for a great week!
Although there were a bunch of steps it wasn’t hard to navigate at all. We were comfortable and had plenty of space. Excellent location and so close to the beach! The owner and his daughter could not have been nicer! Would definitely stay here again.
Great house, kitchen fully equipped, very clean. Nice patio area to sit and relax. Owners are very kind and caring.I would recommend staying here. My whole family just loved everything about the house.
The house was very well maintained and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet with a short walk to the beach. The owners were a pleasure to work with.
It was a great house and location to the beach and mall. Very clean and the hosts are very nice/accommodating! The only thing was that we wished the kitchen table was bigger and updated for everyone to be able to sit together. Otherwise it was a fabulous week and plenty of space for everyone!
We had a wonderful time staying here!!! Loved every minute of it. Close to beach and town.
Thanks for having us and have a wonderful summer!!!

819 Benton is a great location for a Cape May vacation! The beach, strolling along Washington Steet Mall, restaurants, historic spots, bike rentals, ice cream, even the Acme supermarket are only a few minutes walk away.
The house is a perfect blend of modern beach house and cool Cape May!
We had a great week!
My family of four recently rented this property. The location is perfect, so close to everything but nice and quiet as well. Having my two young teens with their own rooms and bathroom on the third floor was a great bonus for us! The kitchen was nicely equipped and check in and check out was a breeze. The owner is very responsive.
