We cannot say enough about how delightful our trip to Cape May was staying at the Puffin Suite, in the Atlantic Suite. Everything about how the rooms were designed was perfect for my family. The full-size kitchen was very convenient with small children, we were able to eat breakfast before we went out each day. The beds were soooo comfortable!... More

Our stay at the Rose Suite at the puffin house could have not been any more memorable and special. The house is incredibly charming and comfortable. It's a delightful two bedroom suite that takes you back to the 1900s with the comfort and space of the 21 st century. It's also perfectly located on Jackson ave....a half block away from... More

We stayed at the Holly Suite with my 2 and 5 year old kids. They were so so child friendly. Can't beat the location. I have stayed in Cape May before and the Puffin is so centrally located. It is really great to easily stroll to town or the beach. It was super clean (I am very OCD about that... More

We all really enjoyed the stay. Location of the apartment is right on the center of everything (beach, restaurant, shops). We had a fantastic week-end with the kids. Thank you so much :-)!

We stayed in the Rose Suite with 2 adults and 2 teenage girls. As the other reviews indicated, it's in a great location between the beach and the mall and the owners have done a nice job keeping it clean and presentable. The kitchen and bathroom are newly re-done, and well maintained. The amenities in the kitchen were surprisingly ample,... More

We spent five days at the Cape May Puffin House in the top floor Atlantic Suite. The suite is a great size for a family of four but could handle a party of six. You have to walk up two flights of stairs to gain access but we didn't mind and actually booked it because of the little outdoor private... More

We stayed in the Holly Suite, with two adults and two young children. It fit our needs well. I especially enjoyed sitting on the front porch with a book. The Puffin is very close to the beach and the pedestrian mall. The house itself is beautiful and the onsite owners are very friendly and welcoming to young kids. We hope... More

We loved our stay at the Holly Suite At the Puffin in Cape May. It's bright, clean and in the perfect location. A couple houses away from the beach and the outdoor mall. We had a blast!

My wife and I and our 4 month old daughter came down before Thanksgiving and it was perfect for us. The Holly Suite is really a small apartment and had a kitchen with everything we needed. Mike and Nancy Duvall were great hosts and really made our stay excellent. The location in Cape May is right near all the stores... More
