Our family reunion (sixteen people) at The Poet's Inn was fantastic! Perfect location for exploring Cape May and wonderful beach swimming a short walk away. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and using the backyard barbecue and games. The house packs a lot of function with a well-equipped kitchen (two dishwashers!), comfortable sitting rooms, six bathrooms and seven bedrooms. Everyone loved the Victorian character and appreciated the modern upgrades. Kelly is an excellent communicator with clear instructions. She kindly offered early check in and late check out for us and that helped us with the "sticker shock" of Cape May accommodations. This place is as good as it gets and we loved it!

We enjoyed our stay at The Poet's Inn. It was great to be within walking distance of so many restaurants, bars, the beach and the mall!!

We had a wonderful time at the Poet's Inn. Kelly was very responsive to our requests. There was a minor issue of a leak in one of the rooms, but Kelly made it right for us right away. The location was great, less than a block to the beach and to Washington St Mall and only three doors from the Mad Batter. Jackson Street is not a quiet street. There was a lot of foot & vehicular traffic on the street all day long. In the house you didn't hear it at all and on the front porch it was great for people watching! The kitchen was the best stocked AirBNB kitchen that I have ever seen. Two sinks, two dishwashers and just about any kitchen utensil that you could ever want. Also, enough plates, silverware & glasses for a large group. There were 10 of us and we always had enough. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend the Poet's Inn for a family get together!

Kelly was a super great host! Loved the location of this place!

We love our family vacation at The Poet's Inn. It is perfect for our large family. It is easily walkable to the beach, stores, restaurants. and the grocery store. We were able to celebrate our 47th year of family vacations in Cape May this year. Everything about The Poet's Inn works perfectly for us. Kelly and Kevin are great to work with and are eager to take care of our needs. Thanks again for a wonderful time in Cape May.

We had a wonderful one-week stay at the Poet's Inn. The location couldn’t have been better—just steps from the beach, shopping,and restaurants. If you love people-watching, the expansive front porch offers a front-row seat to the steady flow of pedestrians along this charming, historic street. The parking was easy, and the backyard was a hidden gem—perfect for relaxing, practicing your putting, or enjoying a spirited game of ping pong. Inside, the thoughtful décor made the space feel welcoming and well cared for. With an assortment of games, puzzles, and books, we never even turned on the TV! Despite the summer heat, the house stayed very comfortable, and the porch fans made outdoor lounging a breeze. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the bedrooms were cozy and full of character. Kelly was a fantastic host—attentive and kind. All in all, the Poet's Inn was the perfect home base for our getaway. We’d absolutely stay again.

The Poet’s Inn is in the heart of Cape May making it an excellent location for our diverse guests to have only a very short walk to enjoy the food, drink, and shopping. The space and amenities allowed our family and friends to gather for meals and chats on the wonderful front porch or in the secluded back yard or engage in a little competitive mini-golf and ping pong for fun. The historic home was in very good condition, with many victorian touches while providing plentiful hot water and fast reliable internet to keep all guests happy. Our hosts Kelly and Kevin provided proactive communications for check-in and check-out requirements and were very responsive and flexible to our questions and needs. I only wish we were able to stay longer than 2 days in this wonderful home.

Kelly was an All-Star host who was happy and willing to answer any and all questions, super accommodating and worked with us in our unique travel situation. The location was superb. The house was spacious and well laid out and super comfortable. The location was amazing, walkable to both the beach and to the Washington Street Mall. My family and I will definitely be staying here and or with this host again the next time we visit Cape May.

Kelly was fantastic as a host. The property is lovely and very well maintained. My family truly enjoyed themselves. We would stay at this property again. All of our needs and expectations were fulfilled.

The Poet's Inn is quintessential Cape May! Unusually large historic home with all the upgrades and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Great location!

We had a wonderful stay at Kelly’s place! There were 17 of us and the house had plenty of room for everyone to lounge in without feeling like we were on top of each other. The location is perfect, it's in walking distance to everything you need. I highly recommend staying at The Poet's Inn!

Our college friend got married in Cape May and we stayed at The Poet's Inn. We fit 17 people comfortably and had a great time. The house had everything we needed. There was plenty of parking in the driveway. The location was great and we could walk to restaurants, bars and the beach. Highly recommend.

The Poet’s Inn is ideally located in the historic district of Cape May. It is perfect for large families or groups. Lots of rooms and bathrooms. Ample parking and great entertainment in the back yard. Kelly and Kevin are amazing to work with and very happy to accommodate any needs or problems that might arise. I gave it five stars but would give it ten if that was available as a rating. This is a true diamond.

The Poet’s Inn is incredible. Our kids loved the putting green and the ping-pong table! The house is beautiful and spacious, and the parking is wonderful. The location is great, and we loved sitting on the porch at night. We have been coming to Cape May for over 30 years and this was by far the best house we have stayed in down there! The hosts were incredibly responsive and we appreciated the early check-in! We will definitely be renting this house again!

With every bed filled, this was a perfect place to house our large family for a wedding in neighboring Wildwood - where I couldn’t find a house with enough bathrooms. The front porch was our favorite place to sit and chat. Definitely recommend for a larger group. Thank you Kelly!

We had an amazing stay at the Poet's Inn! Kelly was incredibly welcoming, and the property was spacious and conveniently located to the beach and the center of town.

This was an amazing house with unbeatable location. Everything was as described, and Kelly was very responsive when I had questions. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, utensils, and dishware. We could not have asked for a better stay!!!

The Poet's Inn was fantastic for our group! We were in Cape May for a wedding and we were able to walk to the ceremony and reception since the Inn is right in the heart of downtown. The place itself was beautiful and had plenty of room for all of us. Our favorite part was the private backyard - complete with putting green! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Perfect house for a large group and right in the middle of everything Cape May! The Poet's Inn was perfect for our group of 11 women - plenty of bathrooms! House was clean and the kitchen well-stocked with plates, glasses, silverware, pots/pans, etc. Sometimes you rent a house that sleeps 20 and they have 10 dinner plates - Not here!! Plenty of everything and two dishwashers! It was a cold and rainy weekend when we were here but the cute backyard looked like it would be lots of fun in warm weather. The location could not have been better; 1 block to shops and restaurants, 2 doors down from The Mad Batter (fabulous), and 1 block from the beach! Even on a chilly day, the front porch is a great place to sit and take in some people watching on the street! An added bonus is all the off-street parking in the driveway - which I know is a premium in Cape May! Kelly was quick and efficient in answering any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!

Thanksgiving, 2023 proved to be a wonderful experience while staying at the Poet's Inn, where we have celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday over the past several years. Inn Keepers, Kelly and Kevin, provide a welcoming and spacious atmosphere within the home that supports large family closeness. The main dining room, where we enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, includes a long table that comfortably seated our family of sixteen. The Poet's Inn is ideally located, within easy walking distance to the mall, beach area, restaurants, and many popular attractions. And the front porch on Jackson Street provides the perfect spot to sit in the fresh air while watching and greeting the many persons who pass by throughout the day. We look forward to returning to the Poet's Inn in the coming year.

My family and I stayed at Poet’s Inn for the second time and thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is a beautiful Victorian that’s spacious and well maintained. It has a big kitchen and separate dining room, allowing the entire family to sit down together. The front porch is wonderful, large enough to accommodate everyone and is a great place to sit and relax. The home is located close to the beach and the many shops and restaurants on Washington St. I recommend it strongly and plan to be back again next year.

They say location, location, location is everything. The Poet's Inn is the perfect location. Awesome front porch, roomy back yard, and enough off-street parking add to its value. Plenty of space inside for a large family. They care about making upgrades as are necessary. Kelly and Kevin are easy to work with too. We find it meets our needs quite well. Love our stay in Cape May.

We had a fabulous stay in Cape May. The house had everything we needed. The back yard was very comfortable for family barbecues. The location was excellent! We hope to return next year!

What a beautiful home and so well taken care of. We had a long weekend stay for a wedding in Cape May. We walked to the church, the Chalfonte Hotel for the reception, and of course one block to the beach. Everything was as described and listed on the AirBnB site. Thank you Kevin and Kelly for great memories in your home.

This is the second time we’ve booked the Poet’s Inn for a group of 8 ladies. The location is perfect! It’s just a half block to the beach and the same to the shops and restaurants in town. There are so many rooms and bathrooms, everyone has their own space. And since we’re a group of ‘over 60’ women, temperature control is a must. Every room has their own temperature control over the air conditioning, so it was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies but you’re so close to so many restaurants, you may not want to cook. The best part… sitting on the front porch watching the world walk by. We just loved it there and will likely return!

We are fortunate to have enjoyed another Thanksgiving holiday with our family of 15 at the Poet's Inn. Our advance expectations for an opportunity to spend quality time away with our children, grandchildren, great grandchild, sister, and sons-in-law were fully realized. Gathering around the huge dining room table for our Thanksgiving dinner was a memorable and sumptuous dining experience, in a cozy setting that supported warm and humorous interactions among family members. The Inn is spacious with well appointed bedrooms and plenty of room within the seating areas on the main level to spread out as needed. Also, the driveway accommodates several cars, so parking for multiple drivers is not a problem. In addition, the Inn is centrally located within walking distance to local shops, attractions, restaurants and the beach. So, park the car and enjoy all that Cape May offers. Finally, the proprietors, Kelly and Kevin Peters, are wonderful hosts and go out of their way to ensure that the needs and interests of their guests are fully realized. We are looking forward to returning to the Poet's Inn in 2023.

The Poet’s Inn was absolutely perfect for our stay during the biggest weekend of our lives - our wedding weekend. Kelly and Kevin’s beautiful home was our base camp for immediate family and friends and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay. When we arrived a gift was left for us and we were touched by the communication and best wishes they extended to us. In addition, the home was clean and very nicely decorated and is in the most accessible/convenient location in town. Thank you Kelly and Kevin and we hope to make a stay here part of our annual tradition.

Kelly was very organized and responsive to all questions. She made everything easy and her home was wonderful. I look forward to staying there again.

Amazing! Location is right in the heart of Cape May where everything is within walking distance. Private driveway can accommodate 5 SUVs. The house was clean and very spacious. More important, the well stocked kitchen and dining room seating were commensurate with the number of people the house can sleep. The kitchen has 2 dishwashers and 2 sinks which aided in quick cleanup. Front porch is awesome! Kelly communicated well with us and responded immediately to our questions. Would definitely rent again :)

The location is great, very easy to the beach and town. Kelly was great and always very responsive to any questions.

Our 2nd year here and our go to location from now on in Cape May. Perfectly located 1/2 block from the beach and 1/2 block from the Washington street restaurants and shops. Lots of room inside with a TV room downstairs for the kids to play and to watch TV in the evenings. Great back yard to eat outside and play ping pong. Kids love it. We have had 5 cars in the parking lot with room for more. Owners are great. We highly recommend it.

My family and I stayed at the Poet’s Inn. We had a fabulous time. The home is beautiful and well maintained. It’s centrally located, close to the beach and the shops and restaurants. Kelly is a wonderful host, she was very responsive. We hope to return again.

My family absolutely loved their stay at The Poet’s Inn. The owners, Kelly and Kevin sent all information in a clear and timely manner and they responded quickly to any questions we had via email and text. The home was very clean, spacious and cheerfully decorated with Victorian touches. It more than comfortably accommodated 13 family members. The first floor bedroom and walk in shower was perfect for my grandmother who walks with a cane. The kitchen was fully supplied with everything we needed to cook and the large dining room table seated all of us with room to spare! Our favorite areas were the huge porch and back yard with patio, grills, fire pit and ping pong table. This excellent location made it a short walk to the beach, mall and many restaurants! It was the perfect setting for my family to stay for my wedding weekend! Thanks Kelly and Kevin

From nine 60+ women who all agree, this place is perfect! I can’t say enough good things about this house. It’s beautiful. The bedrooms are all so nice and have plenty of room for your things—dressers and closet space. The bathrooms are also very nice. The kitchen had everything that we needed and the large dining table was perfect for our large group. Centrally located to shops and restaurants. And the beach is a half a block away! The porch was perfect for all of us to sit for morning coffee and evening drinks. Plenty of parking. Basically we all couldn’t have loved it more.

Great stay with my extended family. Location is outstanding - one block from quaint shopping street and short walk to beach. Backyard was a huge hit for family time. Would highly recommend this home.

The house was in the perfect location! It was a 2-3 minute walk to the beach and a 2-3 minute walk to the mall. Everything was very clean and the house was very spacious. The back yard had plenty of room and a privacy fence, which was great for the kids. There is an arcade on the boardwalk right as you walk up, and mini golf at the end of the street which the kids loved! I definitely recommend The Poet’s Inn for any families going to visit Cape May. The communication was wonderful! Very fast responses to any questions I had, almost immediately or within 30-45 minutes at most. It was fantastic and we hope to be back next year!

We stayed in this house for a bachelorette weekend and it was the perfect house. We had plenty of space for our group and everyone was very happy with the cleanliness of the house upon arrival. We were able to enjoy many laughs at the long table and everyone had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to spread out. We could easily walk for shopping, food, or drinks. We loved our stay and would happily book again :)

After missing our Thanksgiving holiday at the Poet's Inn in 2020 due to the shut down in N.J. because of the pandemic, we were happy to return, once again, to the Inn with the family. The Poet's Inn is the perfect place to celebrate Thanksgiving, particularly with its cozy rooms and spacious kitchen, as well as a large dining room table that accommodates our growing family for the Thanksgiving feast. Also, the home is centrally located within easy walking distance to the beach, mall, restaurants and other attractions. There is a lively, festive atmosphere in Cape May during the Thanksgiving week with the lights and decorations of the coming Christmas season evident throughout, and the Poet's Inn provides easy access to all the sights and sounds that lift the spirit. Thanks to proprietors Kevin and Kelly for open communications and for running a top-class facility.

I have been coming to Cape May my whole life but the weekend we stayed at the Poet's Inn will be my favorite and one I will never forget. My sister got married this past weekend at the Virginia. The Poet's Inn was the perfect location. The house is not only beautiful but big enough for my whole family. This past weekend will truly be one we will never forget!

We just came back from spending a week at The Poet's Inn. There were 11 of us and it was so nice to be together as a family. Eating in that huge dining room was special. No one eats together anymore so this was a nice option. My grandchildren loved the idea that all the girls could sleep in one room (sleepovers every night) and the boys did the same. Since we stayed here last year too, my granddaughter actually said she didn't want anything for Christmas this year except to go back to The Poet's Inn. The beach is a half block away and Washington Street a half block in the other direction, so centrally located, no driving is necessary. Can't say enough about Kelly and Kevin the owners. They keep a very clean, and organized Inn. Any questions, they immediately responded. Looking forward to next year and my granddaughter's next Christmas present.

This was our 4th year at Cape May. Best house we have been in. Will definitely go back. Back yard is great for outside eating and kids to play. Jackson St is the perfect loction between beach and mall. Owners easy to contact if you have questions. Large kitchen, 2 sitting areas on 1st floor, and a large front porch. We thoroughly enjoyed the accomodations.

We just had 3 generations spend a week at The Poet’s Inn, Cape May and we all felt that the house was very clean, very roomy, and in the perfect location between beach, restaurants and shops. We spent a lot of our time on the front porch, but the enclosed backyard was great for the younger ones, and there was plenty of room to spread out within the house. Plenty of on-site parking too, since we had multiple families all meet in Cape May. We would definitely recommend renting this house!

The house was incredible. My party of 13 had more than enough room. The location is unlike any other you can get in Cape May!

Charming house in a great location. Rocking on the front porch in the cool evening was magical.

Our third time at the Poet's Inn proved, once again, to be all that we could have asked for. The Inn is spacious and easily accommodated our family of fourteen. This was our first time at the Inn in the late spring; the previous two years, we enjoyed time away over the Thanksgiving holiday. Vacationing in the early June enabled us to make good use of the newly- finished porch as we frequently gathered there enjoying the steady movement of strollers traversing Jackson Street. The Inn is very conveniently located with easy walking access to the beach and local shops and restaurants. The Poet's Inn is a large and charming vacation home that could be enjoyed any time of the year. Thanks again for a wonderful getaway at our favorite N. J. shore community. John, Pat and family

This house is absolutely gorgeous. The rooms are spacious, the porch is AMAZING, the location is better than can be described. House was very clean!! As for the host herself, she was super pleasant and easy to communicate with. Everything was even better than described.

Perfect location!!! This is a perfect home for large groups! Everyone had their own space and there was also plenty of space to gather! I definitely plan to go back!!!

My friends and I loved our stay at the Poet's Inn! We had no trouble getting in and enjoyed the amenities like available Wi-Fi and laundry. The house was beautifully decorated and more than spacious enough for our group. The location allowed for quick walks to see the beach and the town or even go for a bike ride to Sunset Beach. After a long weekend, we wished we could stay for more. Thank you for a clean, safe stay during a strange fall!

Great large historic house in perfect location. Works well for groups of families, lots of sleeping space.

Thanksgiving 2019 was our family’s second consecutive year at The Poet’s Inn at 35 Jackson Street. Once again the home proved to be the perfect place to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner in a spacious, cozy, tastefully decorated atmosphere that facilited family interaction and storytelling. Both our children and grandchildren look forward to getting away for the holiday and, in particular, staying at the Poet’s Inn, which is within walking distance of major attractions and restaurants. Also, the proprietors, Kevin and Kelly Peters, are very accommodating and responsive to the requests of vacationers. We look forward to returning to the Poet’s Inn in the future.

The Poet's Inn: A terrific location. Right down the street from the Beach, shopping, and food! Big enough to house our three families with room to spare! We’ll be back!

Our family of 15 spent the Thanksgiving 2018 holiday (Wednesday - Sunday) at The Poet's Inn at 35 Jackson St., cooking a traditional family dinner on Thanksgiving day and enjoying throughout our stay the comfort of a very cozy, spacious home with plenty of room throughout for family games and interaction. Also, the home has been updated with all the conveniences that one could ask for; furthermore, the proprietors very personable and accommodating and easy to contact as needed. Finally, the home is conveniently located in the hub of Cape May within easy walking distance to the mall and beach and places of interest. We look forward to booking 35 Jackson Street again in the near future.
