House is lovely and worked quite well for a 10 guests bachelorette weekend. Good location, close to everything except the crowds and chaos that some other areas have. Situated on a noisy road with lots of traffic. We had a few minor issues which were addressed immediately.

Purple Starfish

The Purple Starfish is a charming, beautiful, and well-appointed home. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is magnificent. The Washington Street Mall and numerous restaurants are within walking or biking distance as well as the beach. You will not be disappointed with a visit to Cape May and the Purple Starfish.

Everything we were hoping for

We have been staying in cape May for many years and this is by far the best house we have stayed at to date. Myself and my husband as well as my grown children and my 3 year old grandson all agree we think we found the place we should stay at every year. The house has everything we needed and more. The location was close enough to walk to shops and restaurants as well as the beach but far enough that you felt you weren’t in the middle of the hustle and bustle. The house was beautifully updated and decorated and felt like home. The host was very responsive.

A beautiful house

This house is beautiful, big, very well kept, and clean. We had a great stay. but here are a few notable points that may be helpful to others: 1) house is best for adults/older kids. we came with two 1 year olds and it worked out better than I feared but not ideal. The walk to the beach is probably doable for adults but with a family you still need to drive. 2) the listing is clear about this but I did not like having to bring our own linens, particularly after having to pay such a large cleaning fee. The checkout to-do list was also a little more onerous than I would prefer. 3) house layout is a little weird. Only 2 toilets but 3 showers + a tub in a bedroom which also sleeps 5 people. The picture show this clearly but it’s confusing when you are looking at them.

Great time, Great house!

My family and I rented here for 4 nights, and we couldn’t have been more happy with our stay. The house is perfect! It is clean, very comfortable, a joy to spend time in:) The house is in a central location which was convenient as we did a lot of take out vs. opting for outdoor dining. In addition, Donna’s communication via VRBO was extremely timely leading up to our stay. She was a pleasure to conduct business with. I highly recommend you book a rental here for your Cape May vacation!
