Beautifully Renovated in Heart of Cape May - 1 Block to Beach; 1 Block to Mall

Amazing location one block to the beach and one block to the Washington Street mall!! This lovely Victorian was built in the 1880s and captures all of the exterior elegance and charm of that era. The home features a stunning wrap around porch, where you can sit and watch the horse and carriages walk by. The home has a picturesque side yard (very rare for the center of town) equipped with a Weber gas grill and seating for outdoor cookouts. The 2-car driveway offers coveted centralized parking for your stay. Additional non-metered parking can be found around the corner on Hughes Street or Columbia Avenue.

Recent renovations include: freshly painted exterior, the removal of wall-to-wall carpeting and refinishing of original wood floors/stairs; freshly painted interior; new air conditioning system; renovated kitchen on the 2nd floor and thoughtfully designed kitchenette on the 1st floor; renovated eating areas on the 1st and 2nd floors; custom window treatments; and many new furnishings throughout the house.

The first floor has a living room; a new kitchenette and eating area – perfect for board games and conversation; a full hall bathroom with a jacuzzi tub; and a first-floor master bedroom with a Tempurpedic king-size bed, television, and ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. The second floor has a second master bedroom with a queen-size bed and ensuite bathroom; a third bedroom with a queen bed and television; a full hall bathroom; and a beautiful kitchen and dining area overlooking historic Ocean Avenue. The final two bedrooms are located on the third floor, one with a queen size bed and the second with a twin bed. A tri-fold memory foam mattress also is available for guests to use.

Nine commercial beach tags are available for guests to use during the summer season, as is a beach box on Ocean Avenue beach, stocked with 7 beach chairs (an additional chair is at the home). No carrying chairs back and forth to the beach!! There is an outdoor shower for after your days at the beach. For the security of the property and guests, there is a Ring exterior security camera on the porch with views of the front and side porch areas and doors. Sheets and towels are not provided. Guests may bring their own sheets and towels or rent through a local service. Information on a recommended linen service is provided to all guests after confirmation of booking.

Thanksgiving Getaway
The owner was fantastic in communicating every aspect of our trip: location, supplies in kitchen that I needed to cook a Thanksgiving dinner, linen rental arrangements, etc everything that we needed to have an incredible visit. The home was very clean, prepared, and supplied with many thoughtful needs. Coming to Cape May out-of-season was beautiful with all of the Christmas and winter decorations and activities! ( this home was decorated so beautifully, that many walking by took photos of it...) Would definitely recommend this house to families with adult and active members( lots of steps- we loved it!) but also, children that need to separate from parents for quiet- sleeping. Just a lovely place to visit at the holidays! Christine was super helpful from beginning to end!!

End of Summer Stay
Stayed here with family just after Labor Day. Worked good for us because we were travelling with a nine month old. Parents and baby could stay on the first floor and have access to a kitchenette while the rest of the group had the upstairs. Property has a nice yard and is close to beach, shopping and restaurants.

Beautiful house with an unbeatable location!
I recently spent a few days at this property, which is perfectly situated on a lovely street that is only one block to the beach and one block to the Washington Street Mall. Once I arrived and parked my car, I didn't use it again until my departure! The house had easy access with brand new keyless entry by a pin-code that was provided at check-in. The host offered a booklet with recommendations for restaurants, activities and other helpful resources that were appreciated during my stay. Everything in town is walkable: coffee shops, groceries, and amazingly fresh poke bowls near the beach. In the afternoon I was able to sit on the veranda and watch the horse drawn carriages go by every half hour or so. An absolutely charming vacation spot that I would absolutely book again!

Excellent summer stay with everything you need
This house was perfect. The bedrooms were all comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with tons of amenities and appliances which allowed us to cook many meals throughout our stay. Everything was in nice and relatively new condition. Nothing was broken or falling apart (which can't always be said for houses down here). Privacy was perfect. The parking spaces in front of the house were clutch. Never had any noise issues from nearby inns or businesses. Walkable to everything that could be of interest. We hope we will be back!

Vacation at Cape May with Great Friends
Our stay was wonderful for many reasons! The house itself was a great Victorian historic home, but was renovated and upgraded with all the modern day amenities. The location of the home was perfect! In one direction, we were only a few blocks from the beach and in the other direction only a few blocks from the Washington street shopping area! All we had to do was park the car and walk to where ever we wanted to go and if you chose to venture to the lighthouse or breweries, you were only a short drive away! The house also had a wrap around porch, which we would sit in the evening with a drink and just take in the area and people watch. The home and the area are definitely on our list to return to in the future! I would highly recommend this home to anyone seeking rest, relaxation, shopping and a nice beach! All the essentials of great living! This was definitely a 5-Star stay experience! Greg P.

Great Stay at the Queen's Cottage!
The Queen's Cottage is conveniently located between the beach and and the Washington Street Mall. In addition to the generous number of bedrooms and full-baths, The house boasts two kitchens - one on the first floor for quick preps and one on the second floor for more traditional meals. The house is well-appointed with plenty of room for guests to spread out and enjoy beautiful Cape May. If you're looking for a home for a large family or friends to gather, look no further than the Queen's Cottage! You're in for a real treat.

Perfect Cape May Location
Our family stayed at the Queen's Cottage for a week in August. There is no better Cape May location than this! It is a lovely residential street...much quieter than when we stayed on Jackson Street. It's only one block to the beach and one block to the Washington Mall. The Acme grocery is two blocks away. Park your car and walk to everything. Two very convenient parking spots on the side of the house. Sit on the wraparound porch and watch the horse-drawn carriages go by every night. The owner provides lots of area information as well as beach tags for everyone. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. There is a private side yard with seating for 8-10 and a gas grill. Lots of refrigerator space for food and beverages. There is the Cape May Library across the street if you've got a rainy afternoon. We found that the layout of the house is not great for small children....steep staircases...so we recommend bringing baby gates for safety if you've got young children. The third floor does not have a bathroom, so the occupants of those two bedrooms need to come downstairs. We found the lockbox was tricky to maneuver...should probably update that with a digital keypad. Others have commented that the dishwasher is inadequate for the size of the house...bring paper plates! Also, if you have other guests visiting you while you're at the Queen's Cottage, bring a roll of quarters for the parking meters on the street.

Lovely family trip to Cape May
We recently spent a lovely weekend at this property. The location is absolutely perfect & the home is very clean. Owner was very quick to respond to my questions & provide helpful area information. The home is very old so it does have its quirks (settling foundation has some spots feeling uneven & the 3rd floor bedrooms are in a former attic). Still, our group of 7 family members aged 33 to 70 felt comfortable in this home as we enjoyed the beauty of a September weekend in Cape May.

Wonderful find
We so enjoyed staying at Queen's cottage. The location is fantastic, 2 blocks from the beach and 2 minutes walk to the shops. It was so convenient and we didn't have to drive anywhere. It made our stay so relaxing. The house itself is a big victorian house full of charm and character but renovated with a great kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room and plenty of closet space. Christine was very responsive and helpful with the checking in and checking out and responded very promptly to any questions. We hope to stay there again in the future.

Family get together
The location was excellent. We enjoyed Cape May. Our first time there. A few things could be improved in the house. A regular size dishwasher, a larger TV in living room.. Doesn’t sleep 10. Fold out foam bed wasn’t usable. Needs 2 twins on level 3. Otherwise the house was charming. A linen package should be included for that price.
