Check in was fast and easy, front desk staff very polite. Rooms are adorable, we stayed off season so a lot of amenities were closed, but great location
Julian, 1-night trip

Live music was great! Food in the on site restaurant was just ok. Overall it was a fun getaway off season when it’s quiet.
Rachel, 1-night trip

Excellent place and superb customer service. Highly recommend
Isaac, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hotel and location, worth the stay just note that live music from restaurant plays for a long time, sometimes providing for unwanted background noise. Otherwise, excellent place!
Paola, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Prime location. Clean. Great vibe
Alicia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The amenities are great especially the heated pool. Cleaning crew were excellent and texted for our needs. Beach access and amenities are excellent. The staff at the desk need a little bit more personality in welcoming. They checked us in without telling us that the room was not ready and never texted that it was. Parking is very scarce.
Jemellee, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved the location and the room was amazing just wish we had gotten a room that didn’t face the inner wall of staircase and could have gotten a room the looked out to view of pool area/ ocean. Bathroom was very clean and so was room. Wish it was more affordable because then we would go back again and again.
Victoria, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The loud music from the restaurant/bar next door was loud and obnoxious.

Nancy, 1-night trip

Great place for an off season weekend stay
Martin, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Beach Shack is a nice spot to stay at when in Cape May. Pros : Ample parking, great location, restaurant on site, easy check in & texting abilities with front desk/hospitality/concierge, clean & nice layout. Cons : Lacks coziness for that surfer vibe theyre going for - could use more ocean/surfer artwork decor & not enough mirrors or hooks.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

We had a fantastic experience and would stay here again!
Jessica, 1-night trip

Great Location and Accommodations.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was one of the most memorable hotels we stayed in because the rooms didnt look like any old hotel room. They were filled with a special decor that was both personal and homey. Staff is so super friendly and nice. We will be back ♡
