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.

Wonderful space to stretch out and relax - so bear to so many places!

We had 7 couples staying and the house was perfect for all of us. Everything was in walking distance except wineries and brewery. The host was very accommodating. Would recommend staying here with a large group.

This house is in a great spot near the beach and shopping area. The bedrooms were large and comfortable, each with its own bathroom which is perfect for a large group. The two kitchens were well stocked with dishes, silverware, toaster, ... Taking our own sheets and towels was a little hassle but it was fine since due to Covid some in our group preferred to take our own anyways. Lori was so nice and friendly and met a few of us. All in all it was a nice getaway in Cape May.

Amazing historic home in a great location. You can basically leave your car in the driveway and walk everywhere!

This was a wonderful house for our friends and family who ranged in age from 17-90 years old to celebrate gathering as the pandemic lessened. At any time we had about 12 staying. We appreciated the details present in Lori and Steven’s home. The house blends Victorian charm with modern conveniences. Vintage carved wood frames and furniture, period wall paper and unique lamps adorn the house. We almost wanted a rainy day so we could spend time examining all the art. At the same time power strips were everywhere and the internet connection was strong enough to support the few who needed to work during the week. The luxury of a Victorian formal parlor and a modern second large family room was a perfect place for our family and friends to gather for Netflix and puzzles. We loved having two kitchens full of accoutrements to support culinary needs from wine stoppers to pots, platters and dish towels . This is the first vacation home I have rented where it was impossible to run out of dinner plates. We had multiple dinners on the patio where three round tables with umbrellas are set up. If you have never been to Cape May you will love the charming houses-the town has more Victorians than anywhere in the US except San Francisco and this house is located in the heart of the charming historic district . We spent many happy hours on the wide Victorian porch admiring a view of a new little war memorial park and its multiple benches. From the porch, we also had a wonderful vantage point to see the architectural elements of neighboring houses such as the Gingerbread lacing the porches and the Mansard roofs. Horse and carriages occasionally going by added to the charm. The hosts are warm, friendly, and extremely responsive and atune to the needs of a family. They even have a beach box at the beach with a couple umbrellas and chairs. Everything is close and walkable...walk down the block one way to the beach and walk a couple blocks the other way into town. We created many memories here with friends and family and plan to be back.

The John F. Craig House — a charming, well-maintained Victorian with almost too many bedrooms (each with a private bathroom) to count — did not disappoint as the setting for our three-generation family reunion. From the rocking chairs on the wraparound porch to the library alcove to the dining room with space for all 15 of us, there was always some place comfortable to relax, catch up and enjoy each other’s company. Lori was extremely accessible and reachable throughout the lead-up to our stay, including providing us with leads on restaurants, as well as in response to any questions we had while on-site in Cape May. The location was also ideal, with the beach and restaurants/shops just a few minutes’ walk away.

If you are looking for a place to gather for a larger group this is the place to be! Location is close to everything beach, shopping and on a beautiful street. The house was well maintained and comfortable. We had a group of couples with older children and the set up was perfect , privacy and spacious gathering areas. Having the two kitchens was great for when we all were cooking. Lori was friendly and helpful. I’m looking forward to making our way back there another time.

We had a great time in this historic home that has all of the modern day conveniences. From conversations on the porch, to 18 of us around the dining room table to chats in the parlor, we were able to savor our vacation time together. The property is close to the beach and close to the center shopping mall, perfect location for vacation needs and we did not have to worry about parking. Perfect for reunions or extended family gatherings.

Our family felt so comfortable in the John F. Craig house. We had all the space we needed to spread out, room to hang out together, but also privacy when desired.

Two minutes to beach, two minutes to groceries, lots of tours, very quiet house, well equipped kitchen, great porch, great outside tables and chairs, 10 beach tags, beach chairs and umbrellas, high chair, booster seat, crib. The only thing missing is sheets and towels, but we would definitely do it again if we could. Maybe at our 100th anniversary!

Our group of 19 fit perfectly in this incredible Victorian home on such a beautiful street, so close to the beach, shops and restaurants. We enjoyed getting a little lost in the large home on the first day. Each morning many of us would start our day on the front porch and end our evenings there, watching the house and buggy pass by. The owner of the home was highly responsive to any minor issues and was such a pleasure to deal with. The house was charming...two kitchens made everything a little easier and everyone having their own bathroom inside their bedroom was absolutely wonderful. Individually controlled thermostats inside the 2nd and 3rd floor bedrooms were also very nice. If anyone is a light sleeper I highly recommend choosing either of the 2 bedrooms off the rear stairs on the second floor...I slept great! Our week together passed too quickly.

My family and I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful Victorian home on Memoraial Day weekend. We had a great time. You can see that the owner has taken careful thought in decorating each room intricately to match the style of the home. We loved the privacy of each bedroom coupled with it’s own bathroom. Having two kitchens was great for our large family gathering. Everything functioned and there was details of home living in every room. We loved the great room and the large dining room table. This house has convenient parking, great proximity to the beach and shopping. We look forward to returning to this house again next year. Thank you allowing us to enjoy our time at Cape May in your lovely home.

We were in Cape May for our daughter's wedding. We needed a house to accommodate our large family. The house couldn't have been more perfect. Every bedroom was beautiful each with their own bathroom. We filled every bed in house and it was virtually soundproof. Wonderful porch with plenty of seating and a huge tv in the family room. The house was spotless, amazing and very well located. The owner was lovely. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Stayed there in early October with friends from all over the country for our son's wedding...what a beautiful place, Very comfortable and spacious for large groups, everyone loved it!! Walking distance to everything, no need to use a car. Beautiful rooms, huge entertainment center and wonderful owners who were very accommodating and gracious! Hope to stay there again some day, well worth it!!

My family has had at least 6 family reunions in Cape May - our family is scattered around the country but we always seem to come back to CM. The John F. Craig House is, by far, the most incredible home we have ever stayed in. It has 9 bedrooms with bathrooms, a huge entertainment room; large dining room,, small library, sunroom, living room and 2 kitchens. Oh, and did I mention the front porch for relaxing and watching the carriage rides go by or the back yard with several umbrella tables and a large modern grill! Plus there is ample parking for up to 7 cars ( none of which you will need once you arrive - everything is within walking distance). I rarely write reviews but I could not help myself - this house is amazing. If you do not want to rent it, at least take a stroll past to take a look - you will not be sorry.

Loved staying in the house for 1 week as part of our family reunion! Each room has its own bathroom and air-conditioning unit. There were 23 of us aged 6-81and we all fit comfortably and had a great time!!! Plenty of seating to eat inside or outside. Easy walk to the beach, shopping and enjoying Cape May with all of its history and beauty. No real need for a car since all is so very conveniently close. House came with some beach passes - not enough for all of us - but we were able to get weekly passes for those who needed them that were not very expensive. Lori, the owner, was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend this house to anyone and would love to stay in it again in the future!

Looking for a comfortable rental for a large group? Something different and unique? This is the place. It has everything. Lots of bedrooms and privacy with each room having their own bathroom. The entertainment room allows everyone plenty of space to move around and enjoy the large TV. Plenty of kitchen space for cooking. The front porch is the place to be. The house is on the carriage and trolley route so the view is great. You don't have to move your car because you are in close walking distance to the outside shopping mall, restaurants, grocery store, beach, and sightseeing. This is a wonderful rental property that is well kept and clean.
