5 Reasons to Book Your Cape May Summer Stay in January



It’s January! — The busy holidays are over, and there is excitement in the new year. While it may feel premature to think about sandy beaches and summer breezes, January is the perfect time to plan your summer vacation in Cape May. Here are five reasons why you should book your Cape May summer stay in January:

1. The “Best” Rentals Go Fast

You don’t want to settle. Understandably, the “best” vacation rentals — prime locations, pet friendly accommodations or beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces — are in high demand. Book your Cape May summer stay in January and you’ll have your pick of properties before the Spring booking scramble. Don’t settle for something less than what you want!

2. Time to Plan the Perfect Itinerary

Planning a vacation should be fun and exciting! When you book a Cape May vacation early, you’ll have months to find all the best restaurants, favorite local attractions, hidden gems and upcoming events in Cape May. Whether you want to make dinner reservations at a desired Cape May restaurant or book a whale-watching trip for the family, book your Cape May summer stay in January and give yourself a head start on the perfect itinerary.

3. Spread Out the Costs

Vacation expenses can add up, but booking in January allows you to spread out the cost over several months. Homestead offers a payment plan where your trip costs can be paid in installments leading up to your Cape May vacation. The cost of your summer vacation can feel like less of a splurge when you book your Cape May summer stay in January.

4. More Availability for Customization

Booking in January means you have the most options to customize your stay. Whether you want a home with a private pool, you need a very specific vacation date, or you are looking for very specific amenities for your stay, January bookings give you the ability to tailor your Cape May vacation to your needs.

5. Give Yourself Something to Look Forward To

Cold, winter days can feel drab and dreary but having a summer vacation in your future can brighten your mood. Imagine…in just a few months, you’ll be walking in the warm sand of Cape May’s beaches watching the waves roll in, enjoying local boutique shopping downtown and having some of the best food and drinks on the Jersey shore. The excitement of what’s to come will make the remaining cold days of winter easier to get through!

Bonus Tip: Make It a Group Effort

January is the perfect time to gather family and friends for a group getaway. Coordinating summer schedules is much easier in January before everyone’s calendars fill up. Larger groups can also book up quickly – take advantage of roomy vacation rentals with multiple bedrooms and amenities before they are gone.
