My stay was too short

The cottage is lovely and the grounds are outstanding. I just wish I had been able to stay long. Merlot cottage has a drip coffee maker AND a Keurig—I wish I had know about the latter before the trip, a I would have brought my own K-cups.

Beautiful setting

Quiet setting at a beautiful winery away from the commercial bustle of the beachfront, but just a short drive to the beaches. Winery has a nice restaurant a short walk from the apartment.

Amazing Cottage, Beautiful Property!

I rented this cottage for my parents as a little getaway. They absolutely loved it! Very charming and clean, nestled in a beautifully manicured vineyard. Many thanks to the hostess, and we would definitely recommend!

Great stay

We had a wonderful weekend visiting the property. It was an ideal location if you’re wanting to be a bit off the beaten path. We loved being so close to the winery yet just a short distance from town, shops and the beach. We had a great time visiting Cape May and look forward to our next trip.

Anniversary Getaway

Celebrated our 30th anniversary here at the vineyard. Great location being on the property and knowing we would be spending the evening at Willow Creek with wine, dinner and live music. Just a bike ride away from Sunset Beach, Cape May Lighthouse and downtown Cape May. Highly Recommended!

Ants & Blown Fuse

The Merlot cottage is very nice, and clean, however, there should be a warning on VRBO about the ant problem before booking. When you check-in you are given instructions about keeping food in the refrigerator because of ants. Ants were in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The AC in the living room blew a fuse every 20 minutes and we were instructed how to reset the fuse outside. We followed the instructions and still blew a fuse. Thankfully it was not hot and he AC in the bedroom worked great. There were dirty dish towels left in the washer and a very dirty sponge in the kitchen which we threw away. We had to wash the towels since we were only provided 1 towel for each person and we stayed 2 nights. Management did respond to our concerns promptly. The Winery was very nice and so was the winery staff and the grounds are beautiful.

Nice quiet getaway

Had a nice quiet weekend at the cottage. Had a nice tapas dinner at the winery and a great breakfast at the farm down the road. Would stay again.

Lovely setting, attention needed

The location and setting on the vineyard are nice. There were however several disappointments and frustrations. There is no cable tv in the house. If you don't mind accessing everything online, then this house is for you. There was however Netflix set on the previous renters profile settings. Upon arrival, the cottage was very musty and the bathroom smelled like cats. After a thorough airing out it was fine, but this should be done prior to check ins. The bathroom door would not close, and the main door had to be slammed each time, to lock. In four days, no fresh towels were provided or offered. On the shelf were sets of two bath, face and wash cloths for the duration. We will research other properties in the future. Perhaps the cottages next door at Plum Beach farm.

Beautiful setting, nice staff at the winery

Great location if you want to stay away from the noise. Cozy cottage, just right for two guests. Nice Firm bed, if you have a favorite pillow then bring it. Barbara runs the property and is quick to respond and get you settled in. Besides the nice winery on premises, there is an non-affliated farm next door 500 ft away, to have a nice breakfast. Location, Peace, and Qiuet to get re-charged and re-fired.

Perfect getaway

This was the perfect getaway my girlfriend and I needed. We searched for weeks for a nice place in Cape May that wasn't too touristy, and too expensive. The property this cottage sits on is absolutely beautiful. The cottage was very nice, clean and modern. Location was very close to town in a very quiet area. We ate at the winery and had enjoyed a few glasses of wine by their bonfire on Friday night, they have a great setup, we were very impressed. Communication between the owner and myself was fantastic, she wrote back to me very quickly. We plan on coming back to Cape May and will be staying here when we return!

Great cozy cottage!

This cozy little cottage was the perfect quick birthday get away. The vineyard was a plus (especially the sangria)! Barbara and the staff were all responsive and great hosts. We will definitely be going back.
