Amazing Stay

We truly enjoyed and loved our stay! The house was beautifully decorated for the Christmas spirit! We loved that everything was within walking distance, especially with our kiddos. The house is well maintained and clean. The kitchen is fully stocked, making it easy to whip up our family dinners. The host was very responsive. We would defiantly return!

Fox Den at its Best

Our family has been going to Cape May for over 20 years and the Fox Den is one of the best homes we have stayed at. The kitchen is very well furnished with everything you would have in your own home!! The beds and pillows are all very comfortable. Bedrooms are all spacious and very well appointed. Plenty of hot water and a great outdoor shower. Family room area is wide open and great for family activities. Very nice out door space with lots of relaxing and dining space. The back yard space is a bit limited if you need room for base ball or frisbee but most homes in Cape May have limited yard space. Our whole family highly recommends the Fox Den. You won’t be disappointed!!

Family fun at the Fox Den!

Even a few rainy days couhhldn't ruin our stay at the Fox Den. The house easily accomodated our family of 6 adults and 3 children. The layout of the house allows for plenty of together time, but you can easily escape to read or work in one of three inside sitting spaces or the front porch or lovely back yard. wss a hit

Great stay at the Fox Den

Lovely and well maintained home with plenty of space to settle in for a great family stay. We were a group of 6 adults and two kids and had tons of room to spare. Walkable to the best of Cape May and the beach box made our lives way easier! Will be back again. PS. Loved the fox themed touches!

Great Off-Season Weekend Stay in Cape May

Great house for our adult weekend. Nine middle aged adults who behaved ourselves (mostly) had a wonderful stay catching up, etc while in town for a friend's retirement at the Cape May Coast Guard base. Lots of bedrooms and superb kitchen/dining area and livingroom for hanging out together. Kitchen had full complement of dishes, pots and glasses available. Landlord's instructions and process are pretty straightforward. There's a king-bed room on the main floor with its own bathroom that was ideal for a friend who doesn't like stairs. This is a great place for a big family with kids or a bunch of friends to spend a week in Cape May during the in-season.

Thanksgiving at Fox Den

This was our first visit to Cape May and we were a bit spoiled by this beautiful home. First the house is beautifully appointed and everything you could possibly need to prepare a thanksgiving dinner is here. The layout of the house makes it ideal for extended families,affording some privacy. The location was ideal with a short walk to the village and the beach. I would highly recommend FoxDen and extremely happy with our stay.

The most perfect house in Cape May

My 3 friends and I took a 4 day fall vacation in Cape May and couldn't have been happier with our accommodations. Every detail of comfort has been considered and we experienced an enjoyable time in Cape May and in the house. Everything in the house is clean, new and bright which gave us a feeling of security and happiness. Communication with the owners was perfect and check in was very convenient.We can't wait to return to the Fox's Den again!

Best Jersey Shore get away!!

The Fox Den was by far the best trip I have taken to the Jersey shore in 22 years I have been visiting with my family, children And friends. After years of Wildwood crest, we decided to venture out and we’re lucky enough to book the fox den only because a regular had canceled. Best luck in the world! The Fox Den is absolutely beautiful and immaculate! The living space and kitchen was more than enough for all of us. My entire family enjoyed this trip more than any other family vacation. We were able to invite more friends because there was so much beautiful living and sleeping space. The shops at Cape May were minutes away and the walk to the beach was absolutely beautiful. The convenience of the beach box that Tom and Colleen provided made our beach days so easy. I cannot say enough about how accommodating Tom and Colleen both were from answering questions before the trip to helping us find the greatest restaurants and destinations in Cape May. This will be our new vacation spot every year. I can’t say enough good things!

Perfect Vacation Home for 3 generations

Our family had the most wonderful stay at the “Fox Den”. The home was beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished with space for everyone. The house is just blocks away from great restaurants, quintessential shops and the beach. The well-equipt beach box was the best amenity we could wish for! We can not say thank you enough to our gracious hosts. Hoping to visit again soon!!!

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Fox, Colleen Fox

Host profile image
We grew up in the Philadelphia area and live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Since purchasing our home we've offered our home to guests mainly during the summer months, but recently decided to rent out home off season also. Our growing family uses the family Cape May home throughout the year.
Recently, when we were away on vacation, we noted a quote which describes our rental experiences : "A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet. - Anonymous". We are appreciative of the many relationships developed with “guests” who have vacationed at the Fox Den. We welcome the chance to speak with you about our home and ask you to consider it as you make your vacation plans.

Why they chose this property

Because Cape May is uniquely a "year round" seashore community, our family fell in love with the town, the activities, and events offered throughout the four seasons. There is something to do for all four generations in our family. Since purchasing our home, we've been delighted that so many families make the "Fox Den" their vacation home year after year. From our experience, vacation time can create wonderful memories. We work hard to offer a great product with the hope that the "Fox Den" feels like a home away from home for you.

What makes this property unique

Our home feels beachy! Whether you are sitting on the porch, the comfy couches, or taking an outside shower under the stars, you know you are at a beach home on vacation. We appreciate that many of our guest choose the "Fox Den" year after year as their Cape May go-to place. Being able to walk anywhere in town is so enjoyable! Our grandkids love being able to walk to the beach, grocery store, ice cream shop, and mini golf. Our guests love being able to walk to restaurants, pick up a bottle of wine and relax in the backyard conversation pit after a busy Cape May day. Because there are bedrooms, laundry facilities, and family rooms on both floors, our home works for multiple generations or families.
