Our family had a wonderful long weekend in Cape May to bring in The Christmas season with the beautiful lights and parade. Longfellow house was in a great location and our host made our stay perfect with all the amenities that were included! The house accommodated all of us quite comfortably! Thanks for the memories ❤️??
Wonderful home that had everything we needed for a family get away! Michael was prompt on all aspects of booking and gave us great information on things to do in Cape May. Went above and beyond to ensure we had a fun stay!!
Michael was an amazing host, who was SO helpful and SO kind!! The house was clean and fully ready when we got there and he answered any questions we had right away. The house was even more spacious than I realized! What a truly great experience. Would recommend 100x over!!
Great location and charming Cape May house. Michael was great to work with texting to let us know we could get in early and provided great suggestions on how to get the most out of our Cape May vacation. The house is fully stocked and full of history. Linen service was convenient and easy to use and house beach tags were greatly appreciated . A great stay !
Great week in Cape May
This is a beautiful, historic home in Cape May. My family stayed for a week and loved every second. We had plenty of space for sleeping, eating, and hanging out. It was very helpful being in walking distance to the beach, shopping, Acme, and other activities. The owners were very friendly and easy to get in touch with. I would definitely suggest this property to others!
Can’t beat walking to town and the beach! Even with a little rain we enjoyed the lovely covered porch on the property.
Longfellow continues to be a great home for our yearly Cape May weekend. The owners always go out of their way to make us welcome and comfy. The house is spacious inside and out. This year we had fantasy weather so after a stroll to the lighthouse (wear good shoes…I swear it doesn’t look 3 miles away) and lots and lots of shopping we chilled out on the porch before dinner on the deck. Thank you Mike and Alix. We can’t wait for next year!
This was the first time staying at the Longfellow property. First, the location is AMAZING!! We also loved how the family showcased the house's history throughout - you can feel the love throughout. Michael and Alix were incredible and accommodating, making our stay seamless and relaxing.
Overall my family had a very lovely time staying at the residence. The owners were beyond accommodating for our needs. All the finishing touches in the home were very historical and we would definitely come back for another stay at this residence. We enjoyed getting to know the family through the vintage photos throughout the home. The area is very nice and the people are very friendly. Thank you so much for a wonderful long weekend with my family.
My family (11) members gathered at this wonderful home for our niece's/cousin's wedding. We had plenty of room to spread out. We spent so much time on the porch reconnecting as a family. We appreciated the location, as well. Every single family member commented how happy they were that I found this home. If you are on the fence about staying here, I strongly recommend going for it! You won't be disappointed! Michael reached out to us the day before our arrival welcoming us and advising he was available to answer any questions. We did have some questions and he responded immediately! Thank you! We had a fabulous time!
We rent as a family every year in September. This was one of our best stays. Thank you so much.
The Longfellow house is very comfortable and conveniently located. We took advantage of a very well outfitted kitchen and enjoyed our meals on the lovely back porch. Everyone enjoyed relaxing on the front porch and in the two very comfortable living rooms. The house was very clean. Beds were comfortable and there is a good variety of rooms and privacy for those who need it. The house is minutes from the beach and the chairs stored in the beach box were a fantastic convenience. Communication with our hosts was trouble-free. We appreciated the pro-tips and detailed instructions printed out and left for us at the house. This is a home that reflects the rich history of this family. It feels like you are truly guests of the family.
Our family and friends had a great time staying at the Longfellow house. The hosts offered helpful check-in information prior to our arrival. They were very engaged and responsive. There are plenty of bedrooms and rooms to for a large family to spread out, a terrific back deck for socializing and dining, and of course, a wonderful front porch for taking in the best street in Cape May - Hughes Street!
Our family loved our stay at The Longfellow House! We rented the house as well as the extra suite, which was great! The location is wonderful and the street is very quiet with very little traffic. Michael and Alix could not have been more accommodating and detail oriented. We really appreciated the beach tags and the beach box!
This home is spectacular! Beautiful details; lots of wonderful rooms with plenty of space for family to sleep comfortably. We had a lovely welcome package waiting for us when we arrived and lots of helpful communication from the owners throughout. I look forward to coming back next summer!
This could not have been a more lovely stay. Home was absolutely charming on a fabulous Cape May street. Owners were extremely thoughtful. Home had everything you could possibly want. A real treasure!
We were a group of 8 adults with 2 dogs from out of state. 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.
The home was wonderful. Great location - we walked everywhere. Cute street with beautiful Victorian homes. Home had everything we needed. Michael was very easy to work with and provided a lot of good information on Cape May.
