Our family of five recently stayed at the Beach Shack for a long weekend, and we had a wonderful experience. The property was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and conveniently located, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The Rusty Nail was outstanding, the kids loved the frisbee plates and peach lemonade.

The amenities were fantastic and provided everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We were especially impressed by how easy and stress-free the trip was, even while traveling with our newborn. The Beach Shack was family-friendly, well-maintained, and felt like a home away from home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely love to come back again. Highly recommend for families looking for a comfortable and convenient beach getaway!

We had a fantastic stay at this resort and couldn't have been happier with our experience. The beach view was absolutely stunning, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Our room was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable throughout our stay.
What truly made the visit special was the friendly and attentive staff. Everyone was welcoming, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their excellent service made us feel valued and at home.
The combination of beautiful surroundings, clean accommodations, and outstanding hospitality made this a memorable vacation. We would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable beachside escape, and we look forward to returning in the future.

We had the best time at tge Beach Shack. We loved being across the street from the beach and having a pool with ample lounging chairs. It was also so lovely to have the Rusty nail w/ the fire pits and live music. The smell of the wood burning fireplace at the restaurant was also delightful. We already rebooked for next year since we had such a great experience.

The Beach Shack was a great place for my friends and I to stay during our girls weekend. The retro feel of the place was fun, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the pool and pool bar were great, and having The Rusty Nail right there was awesome too. We enjoyed the sand pit area and the live entertainment. The Beach Shack was also in a walkable distance to all the Cape May activities and the beach lounge chairs/towel service was amazing. Showing up to the beach and having towels and chairs available was just amazing. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Cape May.

I’ve stayed at “fancier” hotels, but the service at this place was unmatched. I stayed with my family of five plus extended family for three nights and we had a great time. Everything was so convenient, clean and there was always someone nearby to help. Proximity to the beach is amazing, plus a r he eat pool with a bar and food right next to it. Plenty of beach towels, free bottled water and our rooms were cleaned every day- that hasn’t happened since before Covid! We will definitely be back!

Very updated property, had a really positive vibe as well as very professional staff. The little first pit, music stage area was very relaxing.

Many rooms with hard floors

This was a 3 night stay for us. I booked a room with 2 queen beds and sofa bed. When we arrived we were given a lower room in the corner under the steps and next to a loud speaker that plays music starting at 8 am. It was very dark in the room with a gray hard floor and no carpet like in the pictures. We asked to change our room and there was only a smaller room available. We were told they would hold the other room for us that would open up the next day. Yet the staff was unsure we could fit a needed air mattress inside. We stayed packed not knowing our fate. We have a family member with severe OCD and if we couldn’t switch rooms we would need to get him home. The switch was made the next day and staff gave us a beautiful room with carpet that faced the ocean. The staff we encountered did not offer us solutions to our issue. I suggested the solutions. It is clear they were trained to make guests happy such as offering free breakfasts instead of getting a new room and putting in the air mattress to make it work. We will not pick this property again. We prefer congress hall.

Absolutely loved this property! Went this past April with my husband and two kids and had a blast! Plenty of dining places to walk to, including their on-site restaurant, which was delicious. 10 out of 10 recommend!

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.

We loved this location in Cape May. Far enough from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to walk to everything!
The beach is right across the street, restaurant with bar on site, and pool with full bar. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming!
We sat outside our room overlooking the restaurant while we listened to live music and enjoyed a drink. It was the perfect vacation! My only complaints were the mattress was harder than I prefer and the pool only stayed open until 8. But, it was great for families!

There were 3 flies in our room and we found it weird became the room smelled and looked clean. When we opened up the sofa bed at night moldy piece of salami fell out. It was late and the office staff was gone already so we couldn’t tell anyone. It was pretty gross.

Way overpriced!!! Through Expedia I paid in excess of $930 for one night. Then they hit me with another $62 fee for area taxes when we checked out. Difficult to park in their lot. So many spaces reserved for valet parking. Clearly it is geared towards young family entertainment with a large pool, which is nice however at 900+ dollars per night. It is ridiculously overpriced. Rooms are nothing to brag about. There are four too many other options elsewhere at much more reasonable pricing to ever consider this as an option.

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.

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.

this was a really beautiful place to stay. youre right by the water, the restaurant next door is a local favorite where they have live music every night, and theres so much to do all within walking distance. the staff was super friendly and helpful. the only thing that wasnt great for us was the room. for the most part, it was great. really cozy vibes, very clean, and overall just a nice place. however, the bathroom was kinda cramped. i dont think ive ever seen a smaller toilet in my life, and for some reason the shower doesnt have a door? like its a walk-in shower with a panel of glass but then its just open? we had never seen that so it was odd for us lol. and the couch in the living space was a solid brick. but truly those things pale in comparison to the awesome experience we had. id love to go back

Facilities and staff were wonderful, everything was clean. Food at Rusty Nail was okay. Really unhappy that we were charged for Beach umbrellas/lounges - according to website only the cabanas have a surcharge. Lots of expectations to tip staff over and above the high \"resort fee\" - more of a motel than a resort.

The place is clean and the renovations are very nice. The parking needs some improvement. I get the idea of valet but hard to find a worker. Also… very disappointed as i reserved a patio room. When i got there i had been moved to second floor. They told me there was a maintenance issue… however there was someone in all the rooms. My daughter and i were looking forward to game night on the patio. I’ve never had this happen in all my years of staying here and Congress hall so a call ahead would have been appreciated if you over booked those rooms
