We’re proud to share what past guests have loved about their stay.

Beautiful home!
We loved the upstairs game room/TV lounge with balcony access. This property is super clean and extremely well organized. Everything you need is well labeled. There is even an adorable coffee/tea center with every type of accoutrement you desire for the perfect cup.The yard is charming and fenced for dog friendliness. The house is a 4 minute walk through a charming neighborhood to a beautiful bay beach. Would definitely come back!

Beautiful set up house, and back yard, stayed there with a toddler, and two dogs. The house was clean, set up well, the backyard was perfect both for hanging out, and for the dogs to play. The host had great communication, and gave suggestions on activities. I would definitely stay at this property again.

We loved our weekend weekend at the DCTC in Cape May. The host were on point with the description and we found the cottage just as described on the VRBO listing. It is a very short walk to the beach. The cottage was stocked with everything needed. It was great to find out linens were available and part of the inclusive price. I am greatful for the host to offer great value.
