Location was great for exploring Cape May (off season) - we parked our car when we arrived and didn’t need it again until we were leaving! Number of rooms & bathrooms worked well for our group. Open first floor made if easy to converse between kitchen, dining, and relaxing on the sofa.

Lovely house, met all our needs. We only stayed the weekend, but would be a great spot for a week-long stay with a fully stocked kitchen & washer dryer. Wish we’d had time for the bikes and an in-house meal. Quite clean & was more than spacious enough for 8 adults.

Great house!

My family and I came to Cape May to celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday. This was our first time staying at the Whaler’s Cottage, and we were very pleased. It is a beautiful house, and it is very clean. It is in a great location, about a 10 minute walk to Washington Street. Would 100% recommend and stay again!
