The Beach Shack

The hotel was relatively easy to find. We passed by it once because we missed the sign. I also think Garmin misdirected us. Unfortunately, their restaurant was closed so we had to walk to the downtown area to find one. Not a real problem, though, because we found a good restaurant downtown with excellent sea food. The only problem we encountered with […] our room is that one of the table lamps was defective with loose wiring and the management changed it at my request. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay even though it was for only one night. Read more

My husband and I stayed for two nights and had a very relaxing time. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach (right across the street). It was nice to have the bar/restraunt on site. There was live entertinment each evening in the outside bar until 9:00 and we enjoyed sitting outside our room on the balcony listening to the great music.

Booked this hotel for a wedding we were attending in Cape May. The good: excellent location, right across the from the beach and just down the street from the local sights such as restaurants, recreational activities, and pedestrian mall. The bad: The room, while visibly clean, was musty and drove our allergies crazy. The room was an efficiency unit […] with a living room, small galley kitchenette and separate bedroom, however, the only air conditioner was an old wall mounted unit in the bedroom. As such, the air in the room generally had a clammy humid feel. Our room also lacked some basics, as there was no room phone. You are definitely paying for the location with this place, the but I'm not sure you want to stay here for more than a night. Read more

This was our first time at the Beach Shack and overall, we had a great experience. We have been to Cape May many times before, but this was our first stay here. The convenience of the location was superb, the beach service a welcome first for us and the staff was exceptional. The Rusty Nail added a great beach vibe with their outdoor bar, firepit and […] wonderful live music. My only dilemma was with the room. It was recently renovated, clean and the bed was quite comfortable, but I l felt as if the renovation was only half way completed. The bathroom could use a full update as could some of the furniture. Also we had 4 people and only one bed, so it was a bit cramped. If you have more than 3 people staying in a room, you may want to opt for 2 beds because the pull out isnt very comfortable (they never are!) Overall, we had a fantastic experience and we will try it again next year. Read more

The room could use a little updating and the bathroom was a bit small. We had some minor issues with the room, but the hotel staff came right out and resolved everything. They were very friendly and helpful. That being said, Location, Location, Location. The ocean was right across the street and the beach was spotless. The hotel staff set up the umbrellas […] , beach chairs and towels. The Rusty nail restaurant had great food and drinks. Overall we were very happy Read more

Hotel beds and bath were clean, but facility is weathered as built ins are all splintered and crooked. They have updated the comforts tho and beds were new and great! Love white linen and duvets...fresh and CLEAN! NO PHONES> Not a problem for us with only one room and cell phones, but interesting to know. also Cape MAy charges to go on the beach... […] only 5 but good to know in advance. It keeps the beaches clean and free of riff raff people. Overall it was the perfect spot for us. Love the fire pit and live music in the evenings. Read more

The Rusty Nail, the restaurant associated with the hotel, was very nice. Good sea food, live music. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

After reading a review of the Beach Shack in my favorite -- and trusted -- regional magazine, I was excited to learn that I could stay there at an affordable price through Hotels.com. I am always amazed at the magic of photography -- in person, it was not nearly as swanky as it appeared in photographs. That said, the room was comfortable -- my friend […] and I really enjoyed the plush bedding, and slept well. It was great to have a balcony right outside our door where we could leave sand-filled shoes and such, and a refrigerator in the room. The not-so-great: the bathroom basin had slow-moving water; the toilet was not firmly bolted to the floor, and the water pressure in the shower was poor. A well-functioning bathroom is ESSENTIAL on vacation -- especially with multiple costume changes taking place! Also, the microwave oven in the room didn't work -- as I discovered at 2:am when I attempted to reheat my leftovers from dinner (and, yes, I checked to see if it was plugged in). The highlights of the stay were the hotel's close proximity to the beach, their chair/towel/umbrella/food service at the beach, and the pristine swimming pool on the premises -- also with towel and food service -- and lots of chairs for lounging. I also loved the indoor/outdoor restaurant (the Rusty Nail) which had a lovely fire pit with plenty of comfortable seating (however, I could have enjoyed this amenity without staying at the hotel!) All-in-all, my stay was pleasant, but I would have been VERY upset if I had've paid the hotel's regular room rate -- twice what I paid. Read more

A bit pricey, but cute,with great service and location to beach.

Genuine Expedia guest review

...and not far from the center of the city and most places of interest. You can easily walk to see all the nice Victorian houses. Unexpectedly, we had a disastrous diner at the associated restaurant "the Rusty Neil" (a series of errors in between what we ordered and what we were served + seafood of low quality); instead, the bar is a pleasant place […] for a beer or any other drink.

The hotel was very nice right across from the beach with free beach chairs, towels and umbrellas for guest use which is a great asset and a lot less to pack for the ride. They were kind enough to let us keep our car parked in the lot on check-out day while we were at the beach! It's special touches like that that make me want to return to a hotel. There […] was coffee, lotion, shampoo, etc. in the room as well as a sink outside the bathroom. It was close to the "mall", a brick walkway with various shoppes...the popular place in the evening. I would definitely return. Read more

Location is very good. Just across from sea free parking. Friendly staffs. There is a out door dinning area if your room is not with the main office it could be very noisy with Music, (Live). I had a simple but annoying problem in my room, bath tub were not draining properly.
