Great Vacation Rental Value

And a special way to visit Cape May

We love our guests! Many families return year after year because our home feels like, well, home. And what better way to enjoy a beautiful Cape May vacation. Not to mention our ideal location, old world charm, and modern comforts. You should know the Longfellow Guest House also delivers value in terms of dollars saved. And these days, where every little bit counts, we thought we'd take a little space to explain. It can help when you're comparing the total value of our guest house to other places.

Consider These Vacation Benefits

On-Site Parking: Our 3 parking spots are convenient and save money. Many rental homes do not provide private on-site parking. And if you add up the cost for off-site parking elsewhere (for the house and beach) for the week, it could literally add hundreds to your vacation cost. Not to mention it would be a total hassle to find parking when it's busy.

Beach Tags: We include 10 beach tags for our guests. Purchasing individual beach tags for the day typically costs $5 and weekend tags are $7 each, so the savings definitely add up.

Beach Chairs: We also provide comfortable beach chairs (usually 5 or so) for our guests and a convenient beach box to store them. Renting a beach chair can cost about $7 a day each, and the beach boxes - if you can even find one still available for rent - can be quite expensive. We provide both which makes for a valuable cost savings and a hassle free beach routine.

Broadband Access: We provide broadband wireless internet access for our house. Now we'd be hard pressed to find a better way to log in to the office than by sitting on our front porch with a perfectly blended mohito watching the horse and carriage tours go by as the sun sets. The local internet cafe charges up to $7 for 15 minutes to go online, and most of the hotels charge their guests for that service.

Other vacation values

Here's something else to consider. And though it might sound a little softer in terms of dollars saved, many families tell us this a great benefit. In our guest house, families tend to spend less on food & entertainment. Since the kitchen accommodates cooking large family meals, it can be much less expensive than eating out (a lot less). And truth be told, it's a lot more fun to bar-b-que on the back deck and kitchen, and hang out together with a big group of family and friends. It really is and makes the entire vacation experience that much more memorable and enjoyable.

The Best Cape May Experience

Our goal is to always provide the best Cape May vacation experience for our guests — your family and friends — and to maximize the value of your vacation dollar. We've worked hard to set up the Longfellow Guest House to do just that. Just know we will do everything we can to deliver on that value. And if you have any suggestions that could help make your stay even better, please let us know. Thank you!
