This lovely suite is located directly across the street from the Virginia Hotel. This means it is incredibly convenient to the beach, the mall, bike rentals, and many restaurants and shops. The suite has two very nice bedrooms with comfortable beds and a living area containing a full, small kitchen. There is parking on-site but the spaces are tight so... More

My dad, my brother, and I decided to take a weekend trip so we could do some family bonding. We chose Cape May and ended up having a wonderful time. The Rose Suite at the Puffin was great, perfect location within town and just a minute or two walking to the beach. The suite was fine for three adults -... More

Last weekend was my second stay at the lovely Terrace Suite at the Puffin. The suite was roomy and clean, with a kitchen, two bedrooms, and one bathroom. I slept on the pull-out sofa bed in the living room, which was easily the most comfortable pull-out mattress I have ever slept on in my life! You can't beat the location,... More

Had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend at the Terrace Suite. The first floor was great for our two young granddaughters and the keyless code entry was very easy to use. NO KEYS! Loved it. Very clean suite with full kitchen and comfortable living room area with table and chairs. The 2 bedrooms were also comfortable (even mattresses) and we all... More

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

As one of the owners of the Cape May Puffin, we welcome customers questions and concerns and we take them seriously. We want everyone who stays at the Puffin to have a wonderful experience. There are several misunderstandings with this review that I would like to address. . 1. The dark woodwork in the parlor is historic chesnut. We take... More
