Wonderful home in a perfect location!

We had the best time staying at the Longfellow house! The history of the house was so charming, and the house was large and spacious! The back deck and front porch are perfect places for morning coffees, and downtown area is a short walk down the street. Michae was a wonderful and communicative host, and we highly recommend staying here!

Loved our stay!

This is a beautiful, historic home in Cape May. My family stayed for a week and loved every second. We had plenty of space for sleeping, eating, and hanging out. It was very helpful being in walking distance to the beach, shopping, Acme, and other activities. The owners were very friendly and easy to get in touch with. I would definitely suggest this property to others!

Another Great Year

This our 3rd year at Longfellow House and it was, as always, a fantastic place to settle in for the weekend. The house is cozy and comfortable. The lovely weather made for some nice calm times on the porch and a good place to rest after all the shopping! Canโ€™t wait til next year!

Beautiful antique house in historic Cape May.

Our family visits Cape May annually. This year our group was 9 adults and 4 children. The house was large enough to accommodate our group with bedrooms for everyone. The location is perfect between the walking mall and the beach. The deck where your group has room to eat and cook at the grill was perfect for us. Would stay here again. Lots of beach read books to choose from. Thanks Longfellow house!

Great vacation!

Our family loved our stay at The Longfellow House! We rented the house as well as the extra suite, which was great! The location is wonderful and the street is very quiet with very little traffic. Michael and Alix could not have been more accommodating and detail oriented. We really appreciated the beach tags and the beach box!

Beautiful Historic Cape May Longfellow Home

What a beautiful home our family had the privilege of staying at this week. History abounds as you walk through the home decorated with generational family pictures that give you an idea of what life was like in Cape May many years ago. The home itself boasts the historic charm of Cape May with beautiful antiques and decor fitting for such a lovely home. The owners are very sweet people who are quick to respond to any questions or concerns you may have during your stay. We are definitely looking forward to another future summer getaway at Longfellow House!

Wedding Weekend

Overall my family had a very lovely time staying at the residence. The owners were beyond accommodating for our needs. All the finishing touches in the home were very historical and we would definitely come back for another stay at this residence. We enjoyed getting to know the family through the vintage photos throughout the home. The area is very nice and the people are very friendly. Thank you so much for a wonderful long weekend with my family.
