What Our Homeowners Say

  • "We have been using Susan for our rental property for five years now and she is a lifesaver! We live in Philadelphia and it’s hard for us to get down to Cape May on a moment's notice, but knowing Susan is there really helps us sleep easy. She’s a rental property owner herself so she gets it, she knows how to take care of tenants. She’s also happy to do the smallest or biggest task taking care of all the details. And to top it off, she’s a nice person and a pleasure to work with! Can’t recommend her highly enough!"

    — Bill DiPierre, Blue Sky Farm

  • "Susan and The Shell Cottages are experts on the Cape May experience, ensuring their clients and guests have the best possible visit to the area she loves so much. Susan has lived here her whole life, exhibited by all the local vendor and merchant relationships that make her guests feel like locals too. I would not be able to manage renting out my property on my own; thankfully I can count on her to handle the thoughtful amenities but also any crises (fortunately few) that might occur."

    — Cara Reynolds, Clam Shell Cottage

  • "I have worked with Susan Burgos since 2020 and honestly we couldn't rent our property without her. From immediate onsite problem solving such as getting the grass cut, fixing a broken screen door, bringing cleaners in same day when the original cleaners didn't arrive to making sure our house is in fantastic shape after each visit, Susan is a professional problem solver and we are so grateful to work with her!!!!"

    — Kate Egan, Blue Sky Farm
