THE BEST location ! This location is on the cutest street in Cape May - Jackson Street. You are steps away from The Virginia (for live piano at night), a block from Congress Hall - the coolest lounge with live music every night, steps to the Washington Mall (3 blocks of upscale shops - not cheesy boardwalk type shops!). Oh, and 1 block from the beach! The apartment is adorable - appropriately decorated in Cape May (country French/Victorian) style. The kitchen is completely equipped with all you need from spices, to nice dishes, bakeware, etc. I have stayed in many rentals that have nothing in the kitchen. The owners were so kind - we were lucky enough to meet them!

Charming and inviting. The property was charming and the decor was inviting. The location is perfect on beautiful Jackson Street, just steps to the Washington Street Mall and a block to the beach. The unit had everything we needed. We had a very pleasant stay! I love the hardwood floors, everything fits the period of the house nicely.

Fabulous Accommodation. This was an absolute ideal location and accommodation for myself and a friend visiting Cape May for a week. The owner Barbara has exquisite taste when it comes to decorating. I wish I could buy this condo! Short walk to the beach, free parking space on the side lot of the house, a few steps to Washington Mall and shopping, carriage rides, and restaurants. This is on the second floor, up a flight of steps with porch chairs and swings all 'round for enjoying your coffee and a good book. Clean, fresh, crisp with a lovely kitchen (I love to cook and eating out in Cape May can get expensive) with all you need except the groceries. Booking, lease, deposit all easy breezy. Professional and fast!

Lovely and colorful Victorian situated perfectly on beautiful Jackson Street. My daughter and I had a very nice stay here. The rooms are spacious. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the space so there is privacy. The kitchen is well equipped, however we did not cook or even use the coffee maker because everything is so close to this condo. Hot coffee and delicious baked goods are just around the corner. There are charming shops located in the bottom of the building -one of which offers all kinds of dips and vinegars as well as fresh baguettes. Makes for a nice light lunch---which is best eaten on the front porch, of course! I am very impressed with the location because it is PERFECT! Step outside and it's one block to the beach. A block that is one beautiful house after another. Or go left and it's steps to Washington Street and all the fun to be had there. We simply had a great time!

Great location, loved staying at the Pied-a-Terre! What a lovely Victorian home, just what we expected from the photos. The furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The location was perfect, everything was within walking distance. I would describe it as very quaint. The parking is a bit tricky, you have to back in, but once there we didn't move our car anyway! It was a pleasure staying there and the owner and rental agent couldn't have been nicer! We hope to visit again!

Great Location Cozy Condo, plenty of room for 6 adults! You are right across the street from the Washington Street Mall, 1 block from the beach, in the Victorian section of Cape May. You could walk to the Acme Market 3 short blocks, and tons of dining options you can walk to. If you have a big car (Suburban or Explorer) plan on parking it for the week. The lot is tight, but if you rent bikes, there is lots to see. Big trucks need to back into the driveway to unload and shimmy up to the fence and fold in mirrors for parking. On-site parking is a plus in this neighborhood, though all tend to be tight. Extra cars can park for free at the elementary school about 3/4 mile away. Kitchen was well appointed, the basics. There is both a tub and corner shower stall. Nifty antique drying rack in the bathroom to hang your bathing suits. We travelled with 3 college-age students and Mom and Dad. We would stay there again!

Our Home away From Home in Cape May. Our family has enjoyed staying in the Pied-a-Terre on Jackson for the past two summers. After many years of bouncing from one condo to another, we finally feel like we've found that "home away from home." With a location that simply can't be beat, adjacent to the heart of Cape May's shopping and restaurant district, and steps from the beach, this property has it all. The interior is lovingly decorated, comfortable and spacious. The owners and rental agent are wonderful to work with, and I couldn't recommend this property more highly.

Lovelovelove. We totally enjoyed our week at Pied-a-Terre! The apartment is just lovely, and was perfect for my husband, daughter, and me. It is located in the middle of town, which allowed us to walk everywhere - beach, shopping, and dining. The porch is ideal for sitting back and watching the world go by. We will be back!

Perfect Stay at Pied-a-Terre! We stayed at the Pied-a-Terre the weekend before Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed the suite! We were looking for a place to stay that offered warmth, charm, and Victorian decoration but didn't want a bed and breakfast. This suite was just perfect. It was beautifully decorated, warm and cozy. It was plenty roomy for my husband and myself and two teenagers. Because we were there for such a short stay, we didn't get a chance to use all the amenities that it offered such a large, fully equipped kitchen (loved the bar and barstools!) and old fashioned tub. We did get to use the umbrellas (great idea to have them). The house itself is beautiful and the location is best in town! They even had on sight parking! Both the owner and the realtor were friendly and easy to work with. We will definitely be back

Lovely Vacation; Beautiful Location. We just returned from our second stay at the lovely Pied-a-Terre on Jackson. The two bedroom apartment brings the best of all worlds to vacationers. For those who love the Victorian ambiance, the suite is as beautifully apportioned as the neighboring Bed and Breakfast establishments. For those who love the convenience of coming and going at your leisure, eating on your own schedule and enjoying some of the comforts of home, Pied-a-Terre offers the convenience of home. In addition to a well-equipped kitchen, the apartment offers laundry facilities, outdoor showers, on-site parking, a lovely large bathroom (including a claw-footed tub) and ample porch space for relaxation in the evening or people-watching during the day. In short, it is our favorite place in Cape May and we highly recommend it.
