Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Dean M., New Orleans, USA 16 Jun 2019 #### Ants & Blown Fuse The Merlot cottage is very nice, and clean, however, there should be a warning on VRBO about the ant problem before booking. When you check-in you are given instructions about keeping food in the refrigerator because of ants. Ants were in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The AC in the living room blew a fuse every 20 minutes and we were instructed how to reset the fuse outside. We followed the instructions and still blew a fuse. Thankfully it was not hot and he AC in the bedroom worked great. There were dirty dish towels left in the washer and a very dirty sponge in the kitchen which we threw away. We had to wash the towels since we were only provided 1 towel for each person and we stayed 2 nights. Management did respond to our concerns promptly. The Winery was very nice and so was the winery staff and the grounds are beautiful. ##### Dean M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott H. 2 Dec 2018 #### Nice quiet getaway Had a nice quiet weekend at the cottage. Had a nice tapas dinner at the winery and a great breakfast at the farm down the road. Would stay again. ##### Scott H. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jean H. 8 Oct 2018 #### Lovely setting, attention needed The location and setting on the vineyard are nice. There were however several disappointments and frustrations. There is no cable tv in the house. If you don't mind accessing everything online, then this house is for you. There was however Netflix set on the previous renters profile settings. Upon arrival, the cottage was very musty and the bathroom smelled like cats. After a thorough airing out it was fine, but this should be done prior to check ins. The bathroom door would not close, and the main door had to be slammed each time, to lock. In four days, no fresh towels were provided or offered. On the shelf were sets of two bath, face and wash cloths for the duration. We will research other properties in the future. Perhaps the cottages next door at Plum Beach farm. ##### Jean H.

Cozy cottage, just right for two guests. Nice Firm bed, if you have a favorite pillow then bring it. Barbara runs the property and is quick to respond and get you settled in. Besides the nice winery on premises, there is an non-affliated farm next door 500 ft away, to have a nice breakfast. Location, Peace, and Qiuet to get re-charged and re-fired. ##### paul m.

We searched for weeks for a nice place in Cape May that wasn't too touristy, and too expensive. The property this cottage sits on is absolutely beautiful. The cottage was very nice, clean and modern. Location was very close to town in a very quiet area. We ate at the winery and had enjoyed a few glasses of wine by their bonfire on Friday night, they have a great setup, we were very impressed. Communication between the owner and myself was fantastic, she wrote back to me very quickly. We plan on coming back to Cape May and will be staying here when we return! ##### Adam K.

We will definitely be going back. ##### Sheronda B.
