Summary: This is my family’s 3rd time staying here. We really enjoy the house and the location in Cape May. A simple walk to the mall and beach from the house. Very clean and organized home. 5 bedrooms including the 3rd floor if you need. Obviously we enjoy since we come back every year!

Andrea C. Dec 3, 2024 03:05:45 AM

Summary: The Whaler’s Cottage is a beautiful and well-maintained property, but our stay was overshadowed by the host’s inappropriate and legally questionable actions. Shortly after our arrival, the host messaged me on the Vrbo app and accused us of sneaking in a pet and then demanded documentation for my service dog after apparently seeing its vest, raising concerns about being watched. As a person with a disability, I am protected under the ADA, which prohibits such intrusive demands. Service animals are not pets, and hosts cannot require documentation or inquire about the nature of a guest’s disability. The legal consequences for such behavior include fines and potential lawsuits for ADA violations. A more appropriate approach would have been to ask, “Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?” and “What task is it trained to perform?” This would have respected my rights while addressing the host’s concerns. While the home itself is lovely, the host’s invasive behavior made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Until the host demonstrates a better understanding of ADA compliance, I cannot recommend this property.

Summary: Came to Cape May for relaxed weekend with friends. House met all our needs. First floor layout is perfect for gathering. Kitchen had everything we needed. Very spacious. Will definitely look again to this property for a summer rental.

Summary: Everyone was impressed with the cleanliness of the house. The house was decorated tastefully with antique tins that brought us all back to the good old days. The location was convenient for walking to shopping and restaurants. The house was roomy with plenty of beds, bathrooms and large tv with a great picture, as well internet service. Would definitely rent again..

Frank L. Aug 5, 2024 05:57:58 PM

Summary: Great house!

Inga B. Jul 28, 2024 12:49:45 AM

Summary: The historic, yet renovated home has everything you need, and nothing you don’t want. Fully stocked with silverware, etc. There were even a few k cups. The beds are comfortable and the whole house stayed cool for us at 74-77 degrees. We did not need to set it lower. Quiet neighborhood. We hung out in the front yard a lot on the rockers just talking or reading. The beach chairs provided were comfy too. Having stayed at many different rental houses in the past decades, we highly recommend the Whalers Cottage!

John F C. Jul 14, 2024 01:10:18 AM

Summary: Yet another fantastic week at The Whaler’s Cottage. Clean, plenty of room, wonderfully themed, big TV, walking distance to shops and restaurants and also the beach. Very comfortable beds. Owners were once again an absolute pleasure to communicate with. We’ll be booking our stay for next year soon.

Laurie O. Jul 7, 2024 09:25:33 PM

Summary: We had a nice week. The home is in a good location; close to the beach; a park where we took our grandchildren; shopping and restaurants.
