The first floor suite was perfect for those not wanting to use the stairs and the amenities were super. Being a veterinarian myself, I love that it is pet friendly as these rentals can be harder to find. The communication with and kindness of our host was top notch.

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.

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.

Well located near the beach, shopping, and other activities, everyone enjoed their stay. The back apartment worked well for my parents, who have difficulty with stairs. Excellent communication from the host every step of the way. Vrbo amenities list (hot tub!) may not match actual amenities so be sure to ask the host. Our expectations were exceeded. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey K. May 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Gathering Place Overall both the property manager(s) and the property were above expectations. Like any old home, there were a few minor issues and I told the property manager about it and they should be fixed for anyone else going to the home. However, the home provided the ideal location to walk to the beach and downtown. It provides enough bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and bathrooms to even handle our large group of 8 adults, one child, and a dog. There was plenty of amenities at the house to make it comfortable and Annie's room (the mother-in-law suite) was great for the oldest couple of our group. The Property manager, Michael, answered all my questions quickly and with great detail. He was very responsive and always wanted to make sure things were good with me and the family. Overall, the whole family had a great time at Cape May and this house provided us the perfect gathering spot. There were plenty of bedrooms to provide the needed alone time. Never an issue with not having enough bathrooms or hot water, and the downstairs handled our gathering needs with plenty of room and furniture to rest and talk. Again, I would recommend this property for the spacious home (very turn of the century elegant), the great property manager, and location, location, location. ##### Jeffrey K. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jody P. Oct 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Almost perfect! The house is beautiful and very clean and well cared for. I think we were a little surprised by a few things. No extra toilet paper and no kitchen garbage bags, Just odd that we had to go out and buy trash bags and were told to take toilet paper from another bathroom. Maybe this is standard for these type of rentals but we had to make sure the dishwasher was emptied, no dishes left in the dishrack, ALL garbages emptied,and taken to the outdoor trash can, and make all the beds up leaving the used linens in bags on the first floor. We were told we could check out at 2:30 (11 of us) but that was changed to 1:30 the morning of checkout. Just seemed like a lot of work for a 3 day stay that was pretty costly. We loved the house…just thought these were a bit over the top expectations. ##### Jody P. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter D.

We had four generations under one roof! I was extremely impressed by the walk-ability of Cape May. Our stay at the Longfellow House was fantastic and our hosts made sure we were taken care of!

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! ##### Erin D. Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana P.

The host Michael was so accommodating from start to finish with the booking and recommendations on the area. The house was beautiful, perfect location close to beach and shopping area. Just amazing experience with family in a welcoming historic house. ##### Diana P. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William R.
