    Great house and property with lots of amenities. Both the house and yard are welcoming and offer a family a lot of options. My personal favorites were the fire-pit and the outdoor shower - as well as the warm, and inviting family room inside. My family and I are definitely going to come back again.

    This house is spacious and well maintained even with its historic nature. It’s full of charm while still providing modern comforts. There was plenty of space for all 9 members of our group both outdoors and indoors. The added perk of bikes and beach gear was unexpected and proved to be incredibly helpful. Vrbo does list a hot tub as an amenity which was not there, but you honestly don’t need it with everything else available to you on the property. The location of the house is perfect. You are already over the bridge and onto the beach-side Cape May so travel to the beach and other things in town is fast and easy. It’s also removed from the town enough to make accessing the bay and northern areas easy as well. Communication with the host was easy and seamless. Sara checked in multiple times to make sure everything was going well and we had everything we needed. Any questions we had were answered quickly, making our stay even more enjoyable. I would recommend this space/host to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

    Our stay was magical! Beautiful home and yard. It was perfect for my granddaughters-4, 3, and 11/2. Sara was the most accommodating host- answering all of my many questions and making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect beach vacation. I highly recommend this property.for anyone interested in a lovely vacation.

    We stayed at the house for one week visiting Cape May and I can’t recommend this house and host enough. It was a great stay and a perfect location, we would definitely recommend to anyone coming to area!

    We had a great week @ The Mermaid and the Whale. The house was SO well stocked from the kitchen (appliances, gadgets, glassware, etc.) to the garage (bikes, chairs, boards, etc.) They had a personalized booklet w/ rental instructions, history of the house & Cape May recommendations that we referenced the whole week. The bedrooms were all very spacious and well stocked and the backyard is huge & perfect for hosting. You can tell the owners put a lot of effort into creating a unique & comfortable experience for their renters.

    This was the first time that I rented a vacation home for my family. The house was exquisite in every way! It was away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Our hostess Sara and her husband went to great lengths to make this a true home away from home. There were so many amenities provided that made us comfortable and allowed us to cook together as a family and share many meals. We’re hoping that we can return again next year since Cape May is truly a family favorite!

    Wonderful house! Excellent, attentive and truly caring Owner! This 1800s house is thoroughly modernized but maintains the charm and dignity of its pedigree. We were three adult couples plus two children. House was wonderfully big with bathrooms and spaces for all; great public space (kitchen, dining area, music room, fire pit, deck and huge lawn) plus ample private spaces for quiet time and conversation. Host is very attentive and concerned with the total experience from booking, arrival, stay and checkout. Her attention to providing regional/local information to meet the interests of my Family were unique. No host has ever been so attentive before. If you are a family/group and want a large, modern, clean location for your gathering, The Whale and The Mermaid is a perfect choice!!

    We had a wonderful time in Cape May! The house was exactly as pictured, was fully stocked, and very clean! Sara was very responsive to any issues that arose over the week. We wish our vacation didn't need to end.
