Bright and cheerful! Windows surround this historic Cape May retreat!

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. Enjoy a meal with friends at the dining table or a cup of coffee at the breakfast bar looking out through the equally sunlit kitchen windows. 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! Sit and relax the day away or head to Grant Street beach or the Cove to catch some waves! 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. If you like to fish, you’re in the right spot with local charters or take a booze cruise on the Tiny Tiki out of South Jersey Marina! In Cape May, you can do nothing at all, but there will never be nothing to do!

Have a larger party and need more space? Check out our other two rentals at this location as well. The Flybridge Vrbo 2702163 and The Crew Quarters Vrbo 2709526. Interested in renting the entire house, please check availability for those property ID's. Home is 5 bed, 5 bath home with Queen bed on third floor bonus room. Entire home can sleep a maximum of 16 with two pull outs.

Cape May Getaway

A very comfortable house, convenient to everything we wanted to do — beaches, shopping, restaurants, and even a playground for our young child. A lovely tree-lined, shady street, reminiscent of Cape May’s golden days.

We stayed for 5 days and enjoyed every one. Our home was comfortable for four adults and conveniently located. Gina made the whole process easy. The backyard was so lovely especially when the lights came on at night.

Peaceful

Thank you for allowing me a weeks stay, in your lovely home. Everything was wonderful! The location was convenient for traveling into and out of town, yet far enough away, that you experienced great peace and quiet. I recommend your home to others needing a place to stay if coming to Cape May, N.J. Thank you again, Michelle S. Malvern, PA

A perfect retreat

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!

Nice little getaway

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.

Family Trip

We had a great weekend in Cape May. The size of the home was perfect for our family of 5 with 3 little kids. We had everything we needed for a great weekend. Loved having coffee in the morning and our meals in the sunroom. It was easy to get to all locations in Cape May.

Nice quiet place

Quiet place about a mile from the beach & almost a mile to the mall. At least four of the bicycles are partly broken or problematic in some way, so bring your own or prepare to walk. We walked a lot & it was fine. The window AC units worked great & the house stays reasonably cool throughout the day even without them. Bathroom & showers were great, WiFi worked well, and kitchen appliances were great.

Well-appointed property in great Cape May neighborhood

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this inviting property located in a well-established and historic section of Cape May. The common areas of the unit were bright and airy with a great beachy feel. The bedrooms were quite comfortable for our family. The outdoor area in the back was great for relaxing with a glass of wine after a day at the beach. Overall, a wonderful beach retreat.

Nice Getaway

The house suited us well. It's about a mile from the beaches and downtown shops. Clean, comfortable bed, easy check-in, good communication with property manager/owner. My wife used on one the bikes for a short ride. Just one note to those who like to cook for themselves - basic kitchen utensils, cutlery and tableware are provided, but may be less than what you might want. We'd recommend the property.
