Cape May, New Jersey
Located on a quiet street only a moment's walk from the ocean, this charming two bedroom house is a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the sea breezes and classic American summer stylings of Cape May. The house sleeps up to 6 people, with a queen bed in the master, two twin beds in the second bedroom, and a sofa bed with a pullout mattress on the sleeping porch. An outdoor shower provides a perfect place to rinse off after a day at the beach, and the backyard includes a gas grill and perfect setup for a casual BBQ. The house is steps away from Cape May's open air mall, which features great dining options and shopping in a quaint setting. Bike rentals are also close by, and Cape May's harbor & surrounding waters feature some of the best seafood and fishing on the east coast. The boardwalk, Congress Hall, and many other entertaining and delicious options for dinner and evening activity are all within walking distance. If an evening at home is more your speed, the house has an updated kitchen and is equipped with cable TV & high-speed internet, as well as board games for the family. At night, let the gentle sound of crashing waves lull you to sleep, and wake up rested and relaxed to another day of fun by the beach. The house also includes a washer & dryer in the basement for your convenience. If you're looking for a refreshing summer vacation only two hours drive from New York City, this is it!
Wonderful location, but the house needs improvements. Especially the front which only partially opens. This became a real frustration.
Owner responded quickly to my questions about property. Overall., very easy process.
The worst!
Great location
The beds were very comfortable. Everything in the bathrooms and the kitchen functioned as expected. The kitchen nook was charming as were the Victorian architectural details. The house is quaint and essentially adequate, yet it has some quirks worth mentioning. While mostly minor, they need to be addressed. When ascending the steep front steps, one should be cautioned that upon opening the front door, it scrapes the floor of the sun porch, resulting in a very narrow space in which to pass through. This condition makes it difficult to enter with one’s arms full. The back entrance is hardly a viable alternative as the door is very difficult to unlock and once inside, one is faced with a tiny landing and a much steeper staircase leading to the kitchen door. Again, making loading in or out difficult. While these issues are typical of an older home, perhaps something could be done to make entering and exiting the otherwise charming little house safer and easier. Several of the table lamps did not function. The only other issue we had was with the washer in the basement that stopped working part way through at least one of the wash cycles. That said, the neighborhood is very picturesque and the location is very convenient. Many shops, restaurants, the beach and the promenade are in easy walking distance of the house. We also enjoyed the convenience of the “beach box.”
Spent a wonderful week here with my husband and 20 year old daughter and would come back in a heartbeat! House is super cute, really nice decor, valuable a/c, fun solarium that doubles as a sleeping porch (has opaque curtains and daybed). Foam mattress in master, spring in kids’ room (which was adorable and practically laid out), and spring mattress in daybed. Several kinds of coffee makers (drip, stove top mocha, Keurig, French press). Cute backyard (frequented by a bunny) with patio set and gas bbq. Short (5 min walk) to beach, shops and restaurants. Has locked box on the beach with chairs and umbrella and includes passes for the beach (required!) Water in the fridge! Everything so convenient, and communication fast and easy. One full bath, one half bath in basement, and outdoor shower. TV is low-res/snowy but we didn’t need it and watched a movie on a laptop. Love this place and want to keep it for ourselves!
Comfortable house in a prime location that is close to the beach and the Washington Mall.
Charming, comfortable and clean - the perfect oasis! We enjoyed delicious meals, shopping, and the beach - all with walking distance! The home was a quaint step back in time to the way a beach house should look! Loved the classic fixtures, quilts, and decor!
We’ve been coming to Cape May for decades with our extended family , it is our family’s happy place. This year we needed an escape and decided we needed some Cape May magic to lift our spirits. We’ve never visited in winter, and never stayed anywhere but right on beach avenue. This was an absolute delight! The location is perfect. The house quaint, well appointed, eclectic and tasteful in decor, and VERY clean ( much appreciated in the time of COVID). The house was warm, and the bed incredibly comfortable. We appreciated our well behaved dog being welcome, so our entire family could enjoy the getaway. Our daughter loved her room and the cozy breakfast nook where she did her remote schooling each day. I would rebook in a heartbeat- and I plan to next holiday season! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and for being responsive and helpful when needed.
Overall simple process and great experience!
