All hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and guest houses in Cape May are closed by Executive Order until June 1, 2020. This also includes any AirBnb rentals. Between June 1 and June 22, these accommodations can operate at 60% capacity. After June 22, they can operate at 100% capacity.
Cleaning Services
As business and property owners prepare for the reopening of Cape May, cleaning protocols and services will be more critical than ever. The Cape May area is serviced by many different national and local cleaning services. Before choosing one for your home, business, or rental, ask if they have a IJCSA Residential Cleaning Specialist Certification (RCS).
For all rental properties, current COVID-19 guidelines suggest the following:
- Check-in time should be delayed by at least two hours to allow for comprehensive cleaning based on the CDC standards before a new guest arrives.
- All pillows, blankets, comforters, and linens should be removed from a rental unit prior to guest arrival. Renters should bring these items with them to use during their stay.
- Protective mattress covers should be used on all beds.
