House rules, up front

🔑Check-in & access

• Check-in 3:00 PM, check-out 11:00 AM (Eastern)
• Contactless keypad entry — arrival details and door code normally emailed 1–2 days before check-in. Booking within two days of arrival? Call or text 609-352-6905 if you need arrival details.
• Wi-Fi details in your arrival email; strong signal throughout the building
• One vehicle per unit. Park anywhere in our lot, leaving room for other guests.
• 2 beach tags are provided per unit from Memorial Day through Labor Day; they are not needed outside that season. Beach chairs are on the first-floor deck.
• All water activities from our docks, including paddleboards, the dinghy, and fishing, are available only from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
• Shared beach cruiser bicycles available on-site — first come, first ride

🏡House rules

• Enjoy a quiet waterfront stay at Yacht Avenue Condos. Our property is geared toward adults, but we welcome children age 13 and older. Please include each child’s name and age when completing your guest information. Quiet hours and property rules apply to everyone. Government ID may be requested at check-in.
• No pets. Zero exceptions — the building has a strict no-pet policy.
• No smoking or vaping, indoors or out on the balcony. Violation forfeits the security deposit and may result in additional cleaning charges.
• Quiet hours after 10 PM. Quiet hours are strictly enforced by the City of Cape May. Please be considerate on the deck and in shared spaces.
• Maximum occupancy strictly enforced per unit — day-visitors welcome, overnight guests must be listed on your booking.
• Trash and recycling are in the designated area next to the building.
• Leave the unit reasonably tidy — please clean all dishes used, strip the beds, take trash out. A full cleaning is included; a trashed unit is not.

💳Payment & security hold

• The rate you see is the rate you pay. No hidden service fees, no processing surcharges, no credit-card upcharge. Taxes and cleaning are already included in every quoted price.
• Pay the full rental total by credit or debit card through secure Stripe checkout to confirm your reservation. No payment is taken with an inquiry.
• A separate $200 security hold per unit is an authorization, not a rental charge.
• Your card is saved securely at booking; the hold is scheduled 48–72 hours before check-in.
• Released within 5 business days after checkout, less any lost or damaged items (beach badges, paddleboard paddles, remotes, linens, etc.).

📅Cancellation policy

Refund windows are measured against local check-in time (3:00 PM Eastern).

Refunds processed back to the original card via Stripe, typically 5–10 business days depending on your bank. Booking modifications (date changes, unit swaps) handled case-by-case — call 609-352-6905 if you need to adjust.

🌊The building & neighborhood

• Yacht Avenue Condos is a small, owner-managed building — not a hotel. You're a temporary neighbor, not a guest of a chain.
• The building shares a driveway and outdoor space with year-round residents. Be a good neighbor.
• Cape May is a small town: local ordinances on noise, parking, and beach use are enforced. Beach badges required Memorial Day through Labor Day.
• The harbor is a working harbor — expect some early-morning boat traffic. That's part of the charm.
