Great location!!

We stayed with friends and family for a fall wedding! Jay and Beth were WONDERFUL hosts and communication couldn’t have been better. Our only concern was the crookedness within the house. The floors were a bit of hazard at night especially in the master front bedroom. For those sensitive to motion sickness I wouldn’t recommend. We understand the houses are historical and we do love their Old Cape May character. This is just a minor note we wanted to comment on for future guests to be aware of. The bikes were the BEST addition. We were able to walk and bike everywhere and it was just the best!!

Perfect location

Easy check-in and out. Good times (in 2pm, out 10am). Good mattresses! Slept very well. 2 of the built-in a/c units did not work, so window units were in Main bedroom and 3rd Fl. It did not cool adequately on 3rd floor (maybe it is too small for the space?) We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Windsor Ave!!

Review of Aunt Helen’s

The location was perfect. The kitchen could use some updating. AC upstairs was inadequate. Overall the house met our needs and our Cape May visit was wonderful.

19th Year on Windsor Avenue

As for any of the plus 160 year old houses, 238 Windsor Ave has its own unique charm. It was great for our family! Lots of room on the first floor to move around while the kids played with everything they brought. (Smiley Face) Everything was clean and just as we expected after getting quick answers to questions from the hosts. While with any older home there were a few minor adjustments to be made but our stay was an overwhelming success!! The updated bathrooms were a great help for this trip. If you forgot any beach needs or bikes, this house had them for you. It's was also fun to get to know our neighbors during our stay and great for the kids. One of the grandchildren was so sad to leave he kept locking us out of the house while we were packing the cars. Thank you Jay & Beth for being great responsive hosts and a wonderful stay!

Charming and convenient

Great location! It's walking distance to most things. Though the house is very old (as most there are), it's charming and has everything you need. Better living room sofas would be the only improvement I could suggest. We're thinking of having regular Cape May get-togethers and would happily stay there again!

Cape May August 2019

We had a great vacation. The house is very nice, combining the charm of a historic Cape May home with updated cool. I loved the large kitchen, and the open living room/dining room was so welcoming. The location is excellent: a couple blocks to the beach, shopping, and food. Beth was a wonderful host and went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed out stay. My family will definitely return in the future.

Summer 2019

We loved the screened porch. Spent endless hours there. The location is great. Three of the bedrooms are small so this property would not be suitable for people who travel with a lot of luggage but otherwise a great find.

Great beach house

This is a great, roomy, clean, comfortable house. Living space is good for a group and the house is well equipped. There are no closets in the bedrooms but there is a walk in closet in the hallway which was more than enough room for clothes and suitcase storage. The owner is super helpful and responsive. Location is good - close to beach and the Washington street mall. Quiet neighborhood. Would definitely rent this house again.

Our Favorite

Cape May is our favorite getaway destination and Aunt Helen’s House is our favorite place to stay. Prime location to Congress Hall, Washington Street Mall and only 2.5 blocks from the boardwalk and the beach. You can’t beat the screened-in porch and beautifully updated living area.

Cape May Gem!

"Aunt Helen's House" is truly the PERFECT Cape May home!!! It's cleanliness, adorable decor, spacious rooms, and cute character all add to the charm of this ideal location. Best part is we parked our car and walked to everywhere! Beth was the sweetest host and was not only readily available to answer any questions we had prior to our stay, but also provided us with the greatest little itinerary (with the best suggestions!) for our girls' getaway weekend! Aunt Helen's House is really a home away from home. and one we look forward to visiting again soon!

Great location and good for our family

We had a nice experience at this property in August. The house is quirky - it is 150 years old! So there is really only one closet upstairs (though that's a good size for suitcases) and the bedrooms and bathrooms are small. But it has been renovated very nicely, including a/c (though you need to leave the bedroom doors open at night to take full advantage as the unit is out in the hall and in the bunk bed room). The kitchen was well appointed, and the dining/living area hosted our big meals and kids toys too. And the screened in porch was lovely to hang out on. One of the best aspects was the location - it truly is a place where you can park your car and then have an easy walk to the beach or to the town. Parking is on the street, but we didn't have much trouble parking nearby. Overall a pleasant stay!

Perfect location, walk to everything!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Aunt Helen's House! The owner was a delight to work with and everything worked out perfectly. The home is located in an ideal area, three blocks to the beach and a short walk to the center of town. We got around by bike most of the time so it was very convenient. The house itself is well appointed and clean. The downstairs and kitchen provided plenty of space for our family (two adults and two kids under the age of 5) and my parents. The upstairs, although tight, provided 4 bedrooms, giving everyone their own private space when needed. Most of the rooms had their own TV's too. The only downside was there aren't any closets in the bedrooms and not a lot of space to put your clothes. All things considered this wasn't important to us so did not effect our stay whatsoever. The highlight was the porch, spending evenings with a glass of wine and relaxing after a day at the beach. The fans on the porch are a nice touch! Highly, highly recommend!
