The Best Location!


This was our 2nd time staying at the Holly Suite. The location cannot be topped. Jackson Street is just a short walk to the beach and the mall area. The front porch is wonderful to relax and view the horse carriages and trolleys. Our favorite is the roof deck for early mornings and late nights. The suite is beautifully decorated and well maintained. We have already made reservations for next year. Thank you Tom and Alison!

Wonderful!


We’re so glad we found this condo in Cape May. I don't think we could have found a better location. The beach and restaurants were so close. It made it super convenient with our child. The location and condo more than lived up to the expectations we had after reading about it and viewing the pictures. The place is very well maintained and very clean. We enjoyed the private roof deck overlooking the ocean and Congress Hall. We spent our nights sitting on the front porch rockers relaxing watching the horse carriages go by. We highly recommend the Holly Suite. Tom and Alison were wonderful to work with. We would definitely rent the Holly Suite again.

Great stay in Cape May


The Holly Suite was a great place to stay! It was clean and the most perfect location. One block to the Washington mall and one block to the beach which was very important to us since we were traveling with babies and they have a lot of gear! There was an outdoor shower and place to store our stroller and all our beach stuff so we didn’t have to bring it up and down the stairs. There was plenty of room for my infant’s pack and play , and for my toddler to have his own room (the sun room). The roof top balcony was very nice too. The central AC worked very well- actually we were always cold which is great!! Tom and Alison were great hosts and very responsive to all of our questions before, during, and after booking. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Perfect place to stay in Cape May


We were able to grab a last minute stay at the Holly Suite the end of June. Bonus!! This is a great place, clean, comfortable, nice decor and a sweet roof deck, with a gorgeous view of the ocean. The reservation process was simple and we had a chance to meet Tom on checkout day. Great experience and a super location! We’d stay here again and highly recommend Alison, Tom and the Holly Suite.

Perfection!


I’ve been staying at the Cape May Holly Suite for the past 4 years, and I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else! The location, 1/2 block to beach and Washington Street Mall is ideal; and it’s the perfect size for 2-3 people to stay comfortably. Surprisingly roomy, bright, and open for a smaller condo. Sitting on the front porch, watching the world pass by is so relaxing and peaceful. But of course, the clear star of this place it the beautiful, private roof deck! I always dream of coming back just so I can sit up there with my cup of coffee, taking in the amazing view! Tom and Alison are amazing hosts.

Puffin Getaway


What a delight to have had the opportunity to stay at the Holly Suite for our anniversary! This little gem was everything you could want in a vacation spot. We had nothing to worry about from the minute we opened the door. From the stellar picture on the huge flat screen, to the awesome bathroom shower and from the various little nick-naks, paintings, pictures and other accoutrements, it was obvious from the jump that special care was taken to see that everything was just right in this home away from home. Our regret is that we weren't able to spend much time on the deck as our trip was relatively short and we spent much time discovering all things Cape May. The charm of your Holly Suite is undeniable and, with any luck, we will return there soon. Thanks so much for helping to make our 25th most memorable indeed!

Beautiful Place with an Awesome View


I have been going to Cape May my entire life. There are so many beautiful places to stay at and we've stayed at some of the best. We used to stay at the Puffin before it was turned into condo suites, and when it changed, we were sad. Finally, years later, we found ourself back at the Puffin in The Holly Suite and we were very surprised. This was a beautiful place and there was enough of the original home there for us to remember the old Puffin. The Holly Suite has to be the best unit in The Puffin. I can't imagine a better one. The new private deck above is an awesome addition. The beautiful bathroom shower is something you have to see in person. Oh and Jackson Street is the best street to stay on. You know why if you've stayed there. I am not one to write lots of words, but if I were, I'd never be able to end this. But as nice as this place is, I'd have to say that the owners may be one of the nicest things about it. Never met them but I feel that I have just from talking to them. Hope I get to meet them some day.

Awesome Experience


This was our first trip to Cape May and we are so glad we chose the Holly Suite in the Puffin. The location was superb! Easy walk to the beach, dining, the pedestrian mall. We lacked nothing in the suite itself, everything was clean and updated. While we loved the deck and it's view, it was chilly the week we visited so we really enjoyed the brightness of the dining nook. My husband was skeptical of parking offsite, but the distance was only a block and half away, and we enjoyed the walk. The Mad Batter across the street is great for Happy Hour! We can't wait to return to Cape May and the Holly suite!

The Holly Suite is top notch and a GREAT value!


I've worked in the travel industry for 26 years. I've stayed at many places including condos and vrbos. I have to say this was one of the top 3 "en suite" stays booked via VRBO. The Holly Suite is fastidiously maintained. It is appointed with quality furnishings. LOVE wooden pocket door adorned with stained class between the kitchen and the back sun room. This place is seeping with history and completely charming. The fireplace in the living room is lovely and such a nice touch for the cooler evenings. It is a fantastic location and is in walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. We were here in November while visiting for a USCG ceremony. I sure wish we could come back during summer months and hit the beach. Any time of year it is bound to a great stay! Two thumbs up! Thank you to Tom and Alison! Keep up the great work!

From the minute I walked into the main entrance, I felt so WELCOMED! I immediately felt it's Charm and knew I was in for a real treat. Upstairs in the Holly Suite, was just as lovely. Beautifully decorated, clean, and with it's own Charm. The beach being just a half block away was so convenient, so clean, and the people were friendly. Breakfast at The Mad Batter was an everyday occurance......but our other meals were made at "home".....there was everything you needed in the fully equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were comfortable, and coffee on the ROOF every morning allowed us a beautiful view of the water, while enjoying the birds songs! Special, were the nights we spent on the Porch.

Absolute Gem


Beautiful, comfortable, updated Victorian Suite in the heart of Cape May. This condo was the perfect location for our family getaway. So close to the beach and the town... The galley kitchen was perfect for breakfast and lunch preparation. We enjoyed the rooftop deck in the mornings and evenings. The view of the ocean and Congress hall was a pleasant backdrop to some pre-dinner relaxation after a day at the beach. The unit is well-maintained. Other members of our family stayed at a local hotel, and we felt we had the superior accommodations - closer to the town and more room to relax when we were not at the beach or out and about. We will definitely return. (By the way, the unit was very quiet with no noise issues whatsoever from other residents or the town.) Thanks so much to the Owners of Cape May Holly Suite.
