Relax in this historic Cape May retreat on iconic tree-lined Washinton St. on a large sunlit enclosed porch with wall-to-wall windows watching vacationers and locals stroll by.

Walls of windows brighten the large family room with nautical decor and comfy sofa with a pull-out queen bed. The retreat comes ready with sheets and Turkish towels. Two full baths, recently renovated, have large walk-in showers. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom for convenience and privacy. Located just 3 blocks from the Washington Inn and other signature Cape May eats! Washington Street Mall is located just 5 short blocks away where you can shop, dine, or enjoy a cocktail in the Brown Room at Congress Hall. Looking for adventure, grab a house bike and a beach towel and head to Madison Ave Beach, less than one mile away!

Had enough of the beach Grab your tennis racket and check out the Physick Estate, or call the Cape May Free ride to visit one of Cape May’s amazing winery’s.

    We absolutely loved Gina's place! It has everything you could need and more. We SO appreciated having sheets & towels. Thank you! The home is gorgeous, beds comfy & loved having the bikes. All the information & more that you will need is in the email. Bike riding distance to many things. Thank you for a great stay!

    Gina was a great communicator and responded promptly to any questions. The cottage was cozy and perfect for our family and close to Training Center Cape May as we were there to attend Coast Guard graduation. We enjoyed the quiet location and easy walk down to Washington Street mall as well. Also so thankful that bed linens and towels were provided as many other Vrbo homes there did not provide these items and we were certainly not interested in packing sheets to fly across the country! Checking in and out was a simple process and all instructions were well organized. Great experience.

    Cute little house. The inside of the house was clean and peaceful, but the outside needs a little atttention. Gina was a wonderful host, receptive and easy to reach.

    This is a lovely house and the host Gina has made it very comfortable and well appointed. The location is fabulous. . It was easy to bike and bikes were there for our use. We strolled down to restaurants and biked to the beach. It was our first trip to Cape May and we have wonderful memories.

    Nice place with a cozy beach vibe. It does require a 1 mile walk or drive to the beach and most restaurants so be prepared for that.

    Good option for a beach vacation. You need bikes or some other form of transport to get around as it is a little far from the beaches and downtown, but you’re rewarded with peace and quiet on a nice street. The house could use some updating (squeaky floors, etc), and you can hear the upstairs tenants moving around pretty clearly (tough when you have a toddler who is a light sleeper), but nothing that would stop us from booking the place again.

    Owner made check in simple and easy. Appreciated the availability of bikes, beach badges and chairs, etc. very clean. Good showers and a washer and drier. Need I say more. The neighborhood was quiet and the local bar, C-view served a delicious burger and cold beer. Would definitely stay here again.

    Spent a lot of my stay in the dining room because of the windows & light surrounded by mature foliage. Perfect for putting a puzzle together. Moved a bamboo chair to foyer for my morning coffee room, also full of light complete with a big tree in view & chirping birds to listen to. Excellent bed. Ample kitchen. Roomy walk-in shower. Only thing, the noise from upstairs guests walking across their floor deterred from rating this a five star. Bikes have rusty chains. Recycle & garbage bins could be obscured for esthetic purposes. I did not use bunk beds so can’t speak to the second bedroom. All in all, it was a much needed respite. I returned home refreshed.

    The property was perfect for my trip to Cape May. Everything was as described and communication with Gina made checking in a breeze. The front room was nice to catch up on emails with my morning coffee. Location was excellent. One direction you have the marina close to Lobster House and the other direction a nice walk to Washington St mall and the beach. Street parking was easy and reliable. Make sure to check out the wineries and breweries during your visit. Will definitely be back to visit.

    The rental was clean, quiet, comfortable, and a 15-minute walk to town and to the beach. And Gina was a very responsive host. We hope to return soon.

    Spent a lovely weekend at The Starboard. It was hard to get out of the amazingly comfortable bed, but when I did I found myself in the ideal location to walk everywhere I wanted to go in Cape May. Gina was great to work with, check-in was easy-peasy, and the accommodation was super cute. Treat yourself to a stay here!

    It is a great location, perfectly situated for a nice walk into town or a short drive to other Cape May attractions. It was the perfect-sized space for our little group. If I had to make any suggestions, it would be lamps...both in the living room and the bedrooms. Other than that, great communication from the owner. We didn't make use of some of the other amenities available, but I will say it was nice not having to pack towels and linens for a trip to the shore.

    The proberty is like a resort! 5 stars!! It is on a quiet, beautiful street of single family homes. It has all the amenities, from complete kitchen utensils to a full array of bikes. Everything is very clean and in working order. The beds, pillows, and sofa are very comfortable and the linens are of high quality. We were also very impressed by the various outside gathering areas! Most importantly is that the owner is very responsive and punctual!. We so enjoyed our stay!
