    The house is very nice, especially the kitchen - very well designed, spacious and inviting. The dining room is less so. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. The whole group really enjoyed the stay.

    We absolutely loved our stay at the John Craig house. The location in Cape May can't be beat - one block from the beach and one block from the outdoor mall, with shops all around. The house itself has so much character but is also very well maintained, with an amazing kitchen for a large group (two of everything, including fridges and ovens!). The owner was very responsive to any questions and and patient with us (clueless first time visitors to the Cape May). Overall, the house can't be beat for a vacation for a large group, and we hope to come back soon!

    The hostess/owner was always available and e trembly helpful The home was clean, beautiful and close to downtown Cape May. We came by bus, so rented a golf cart from Orange Moose. Buses aren’t allowed on most streets in Cape May. Also, linens are not provided - we brought our own. The new kitchen was well stocked and comfortable around the large island. Steps are rather steep- it is an old home- but our group of 16 in our 70’s managed well. We enjoyed the large family room and TV and large front porch too! We walked most places, but used the golfcart for those who couldn’t walk as well.

    We had a wonderful time staying at the John F Craig House in Cape May for two days with our friends and family. The property was identical to what was described in the listing. We will definitely recommend this property to our acquaintances.

    The home is absolutely stunning, excellent location - walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shopping and all the wonderful activities Cape May has to offer. Our family had so much fun, and the host (Lori & Steven) were so helpful with recommendations, I can't say enough good things about the home and our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family.

    From start to finish the experience was everything we hoped for and more. The home was stunning but also comfortable and well appointed. It was an easy walk to all that Cape May has to offer. We also just enjoyed sitting on the front porch just watching the world go by. Lori was extremely communicative and friendly and was happy to answer all our questions. She even left us a welcome basket!! I can highly recommend this amazing home. We already miss it! We hope to return and use the home for our next family reunion.
