It’s a beautiful time of the year to be here in any one of our Cape May New Jersey vacation homes. The heat of summer hasn’t arrived yet and people are just starting to think about getting away for a summer vacation so the area isn’t swarming with vacationers. While you’re visiting check out one of the following events taking place.

The 23rd Annual Cape May Music Festival is being held now through Thursday, June 14. A feast for every musical taste — orchestra, chamber, world traditions, beloved classics and even a few intriguing new sounds.  Alan R. Kay and the New York Chamber Ensemble are returning for their annual chamber series and the Bay-Atlantic Symphony, under the baton of principal conductor Jed Gaylin, returns as the orchestra-in-residence. For information or tickets, call 609-884-5404.

Cape May’s 5th Annual Harbor Fest takes place from Friday, June 15 through Sunday, June 17. Harbor Fest is a full weekend of fun-filled activities to start off the summer season.  The kids are out of school and its Father’s Day weekend – time to play outside! Enjoy a boat parade featuring local and visiting boating clubs and groups. An “Anything That Floats but a Boat Regatta.” Combine common household items, cardboard, duct tape and creativity, then add a lot of laughs. Finally, the “First Resort Bicycle Challenge,” which will combine a bicycle road rally through the streets of Cape May with a quest to locate various treasures at participating businesses. For more information call 609-898-8848.

When it’s time to make plans for a beach vacation there’s a few things you should be sure to remember. HomeStead Cape May Rentals offers hundreds of Cape May New Jersey rental homes for you to choose among. Choosing the best among these is easier if you keep the following things in mind.

1.    The process of reserving Cape May New Jersey rental homes should be easy and pleasant. If you’re running into stumbling blocks along the way or having any other bad experiences with the process then you’re dealing with the wrong vacation rental company.

3.    The online reservation system on our website makes booking your rental is as pleasant as an ocean breeze.
4.    We will work with you when it comes to your preferred arrival and departure time. Not everyone does.

Don’t settle for anything less than what you want for your vacation rental. Vacations come around only occasionally so it should be everything you’ve dreamed of.
