Lovely & Steps to Finest Beach. Center of Cape May. Multi-Car Private Driveway!

17 Jefferson St.: This beautiful 6 Bedroom and 3 Bathroom (4 in summer), Victorian era home is just 4 houses from Cape May’s finest family beach and a short walk to its best shops and restaurants. When not at the beach, you will be enjoying the home’s large porch with its seven rockers, full hammock, and big views of the ocean. The house sleeps up to 15 and has a driveway with off-street parking for 4-5 cars (!)

We bought the house in Spring 2010 and have invested heavily in renovations and new furniture to make this a superb rental - over $600,000 to date. Virtually every area of the house has been renewed, inside and out. In October 2023, we bought all new living room furniture, including new leather recliners (tasteful). During winter 2024, we rebuilt the front deck, replaced the master's windows, refinished nearly all the floors, and rebuilt the floor of the outside shower. Despite all the changes, our goal is always to keep the 1890 look and feel of the house.

At the same time, we've tried to make the house as comfortable for our guest as possible. The kitchen is well stocked. The game, puzzle, library is also well stocked. There are quality TVs (3), high-speed mesh wifi for streaming, blu-ray DVD players (with a nice library of DVDs) and cable package. There's a Bose bluetooth speaker in the living room and master for music. We keep lots beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys for all to use.

Guests will need to bring sheets, pillow cases, towels, and beach towels for their visit. There is a good linen service in town (Sea Dreams), if this is more convenient.

Beautiful home and great location
We had a wonderful family vacation in this beautiful home with our children and grandchildren. It is in a perfect location to walk to the beach or into town. The front porch and rockers were used daily. The owner was quick to respond to any questions or provide information. I highly recommend staying at this home.

Great place
The house was a great place for our family. The kitchen was well supplied while the house kept the Victorian feel. Being so close to the beach is a bonus. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and being able to hear the ocean.

Great location for a fun family stay!
Cannot beat the location, house was steps from the beach and well stocked with beach toys and equipment. We loved the front porch with plenty of seating for the entire family to enjoy the sounds of the ocean. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out throughout the house.

Beautiful and cozy
We had a great stay. The house was beautiful and clean and was a short walk to Washington street. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes we needed and we had plenty of space for a large group to eat together and hang out in the living room. The house has a warm cozy feeling and wasn’t drafty for our December trip. Would love to stay here again!

Charming house and location!
We had a wonderful stay with our family. The house was well maintained and charming. The minute walk to the beach was heavenly and great for young kids. We loved the touches of Cape May nostalgia displayed throughout the house and it was a perfect fit for ourselves and children. The owners were extremely responsive when we had questions at the beginning of our stay. Would definitely rent here again!

This home has it all! Historic authenticity surrounded by modern conveniences; steps from the beach, from excellent restaurants, shopping and cultural events; the owner is attentive to his renter's needs, and help, if needed, is readily available; a wonderful place for family and friends!

Highly recommend
We had a great time and loved the house. Just a few houses to the beach and so easy to walk everywhere. We parked the car and didn't have to drive once! Very clean and charming. Our favorite thing was spending tons of time on the porch in the rocking chairs.

17 Jefferson- Great Home
Everything shown on VRBO regarding this property is exactly as pictured. Plenty of room, well maintained, great dealing with the owner as well as the property manager. Wish we could have stayed longer as the weather was wonderful and only half block to the beach. Highly recommend.

Wonderful house soo close to beach and bars!
We had a wonderful experience working with the owner! Blair was extremely flexible and responsive before, during, and after our stay. The house was beautiful - perfect for a mixed group of 22-55 year old women to stay for an off-season beach getaway! The beach was very close, and we were within a 10ish minute walk to all the bars and restaurants! Also, the owner was thoughtful about little things - for example, NJ doesn’t have bags at the grocery stores and the house had a bunch of re-usable ones we could take with us when shopping. Overall, we had a great experience. Thanks so much!!

Beautiful house, excellent location
Everything about the house and our stay was wonderful. The house was very clean, there were plenty of pillows, blankets, and everything we needed to cook meals. There was one issue with a shower handle so I messaged the owner and they messaged me back right away and the issue was fixed. The house is less than a block from the beach and you can hear the waves at night. Close enough to walk to downtown Washington Street, too. We would definitely stay here again!

A beautiful home for Christmas Magic
Thank you so much Blair for sharing your beautiful home with us year after year. It is the most beautiful, comfortable place for us to get to memory making. Not only is the house pristine, spacious and well equipped for a fabulous time, but Blair goes above and beyond to be communicative and accommodating. This all adds up to a smooth stay with 6 littles running around at our feet and a true vacation!
