Great neighborhood great location had everything we needed for a great vacation. Weather couldâve been a little warmer but all in all was a great week.
The house met our expectations. The rooms worked for our family of 3 adult couples and 6 children. The house was well appointed. The living room was perfect for the grandkids and the kitchen table large enough for our family.The grill was great, made 2 meals on it.The kitchen might have had more counterspace, we like to cook together.Overall a lovely summer vacation.
Had a great trip at whalers cottage we were there for an early June family trip and it this location was great. 1 minute walk to a great park with playgrounds, a pond, basketball and fishing and only 10-15 minute walk to the beach. Plenty of space for our group family of 4 (2 girls 5 and 3yo) and our nanny. We also had our friends stay for 2 nights who also have 2 toddlers and had plenty of space. The owner had great communication with us and really had all the essentials we needed in the shed. The only issue was that there was construction next door which was annoying but the workers were nice.
My family and I came to Cape May to celebrate my momâs 70th birthday. This was our first time staying at the Whalerâs Cottage, and we were very pleased. It is a beautiful house, and it is very clean. It is in a great location, about a 10 minute walk to Washington Street. Would 100% recommend and stay again!
The place was great - there were 8 of us and we were all able to have our own rooms - no body was on top each other - bathrooms were sufficient- everything was clean and easy to access I would definitely recommend this place
The home was lovely, clean and within walking distance to the beach and town. The street and surrounding area was beautiful and quiet. There is construction going on at the house next door, however, we were fortunate enough to get there on a Friday evening when the workers were shutting down for the weekend. The crew at the site did an excellent job ensuring the driveway was clean and fenced off. We had a wonderful time and thank the owners for allowing us the opportunity to stay in their lovely home.
This was our 4th trip to Cape May and our first time at the whalerâs cottage. It was a fun place to stay and make memories with our children and grandchildren. It sits on a quiet tree lined street with an awesome playground nearby. What we liked: There were plenty of bedrooms and the beds were comfortable. Bathroom and outdoor showers were great. The living room is spacious. A laundry room and half bath were conveniently located at the side entrance. The Forte gas range was wonderful for cooking and the Bosch dishwasher was quiet. There was plenty of parking and space for the kids to ride their bikes. The shed was stocked with bikes and beach gear, and there were eight beach passes for our use.What we didnât like: The AC units are directly outside the master bedroom window and they are loud for light sleepers. The kitchen has minimal counter space and the island cart is quite small for making meals to serve 10 people (6 adults and 4 kids).
This is my familyâs 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!
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.
We had 10 people for a birthday celebration. The house was beautiful and easily accommodated our group. The location is great for walking to shops and restaurants.
Yet another fantastic week at The Whalerâs 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. Weâll be booking our stay for next year soon.
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..
Our 2 families stayed at the Whaler Cottage comfortably. We were 10 people ranging from 16-50 years old and all loved the accommodations and location. House was perfectly equipped from kitchen to beach supplies. We would definitely consider staying again!
Hi All - we are Scott and Rhonda Gibbs. We have restored two 5 Star vacation properties in Cape May. The Whalers Cottage built in 1870 is one of the most popular vacation rentals in Cape May w/over 50 5 star ratings. We just finished renovating The John Hand Black and White House Built in 1700 Listing # 4851711) This is a luxury retreat born out of a complete renovation of the oldest house in Cape May. We always try to give our guests a great experience while in one of the best places on earth - Cape May NJ!
The Whalers Cottage is just awesome. Its filled with high end amenities and is really comfortable, but also has a ton of artifacts from the 60's and 70's. Rhonda did all of the decorating and if you are 40-50 something you will see tons of little items around the brands we grew up with ; Coke, JNJ, Campbells reflected in there original form. It is on a quiet street and really convenient to beach, town and attractions
The house comfortably sleeps 10, has every amenity you could wish for. Park your car and use the bikes or walk everywhere. Sit out front in the AM for your coffee its shady and quiet. We love the house and plan to retire there someday. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
