Updated Victorian near beach. Inquire for reduced rates in August!

Relax and rejuvenate in privacy in the one bedroom apartment on the second floor of our Victorian Gothic updated to please. Perfect for a couple or small families. This historic Painted Lady circa 1879 retains her gracious room and window proportions to catch ocean breezes. The first floor is never rented on this over-sized lot with award-winning flower beds providing beauty in spring, summer, and fall. Enjoy use of a gas grill. Read a great book on the traditional open veranda with wicker furniture.

Experience the ambiance of the Victorian era with vintage furniture and room details. The master bedroom has four tall windows for ocean breezes, a traditional dresser, and dressing table. The sitting room has a new lounge sofa, a comfortable armchair, flat screen TV, and two windows. The kitchen is a large eat-in kitchen with three tall windows that catch the cross breezes. Each room has a mini-split for air conditioning or heating.

Enjoy the Victorian bathroom with a large claw foot tub for delightful soaking. And for those who like showers, there is an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water.

For sleeping arrangements, the master bedroom has a queen size bed; the sofa in the sitting room may be set up as full/queen size bed; and there is an inflatable twin mattress that can can be set up in the sitting room or in the kitchen. (But don't forget to bring your own bed and bath linens.)

The upstairs rental unit has a separate entrance.

Centrally located at the Point, simply walk a block to the Circle, the Post Office, or a beach entrance. There is a guarded beach at the foot of the street.

And bring your bikes if you like. We'll show you where to store them.

Rental
The apartment is clean but very dated. It is in a great location, close to the beach and both the owners and property managers are very responsive. There are 3 window air conditioners and the one in the bedroom was not working during our visit. The property manager came promptly to look at it but couldn’t fix it so we had to drag the mattress from the bedroom to the living/ sitting room because it got quite hot at night. As advertised there is no indoor shower, just an outside shower which was fine for the most part but couldn’t be used in bad weather. All in all the stay was fine, but just be sure you are ok with these quirks!

Great location
Appreciate the. Quaintness of the Victorian house, but definitely needs an upgrade, removal of old wallpaper and fresh coat of paint all over would do wonders….also would have liked option of indoor shower.

Great Location
This rental is in a great location, with beach access being a short walk down the street. It’s also a very private beach with very few other beach goers during our trip. An added benefit is that you can watch the sunset from this beach without having to fight the crowds at sunset beach. The rental itself is as described in other reviews. It is perfect if you plan to spend most of your time at the beach or doing other activities. The owner was very responsive to the few questions that I had prior to our trip. We enjoyed our stay, especially the location.

Attentive owner but property needs some updating
Location, owner and local manager great, but a number of issues needed attention beyond what could be accomplished while we were there. We were reimbursed for our troubles in acquiring supplies that should have been there.

Great location...but def BYOpillows!!!
The location was tops. And to be fair, I booked late in the season and this was the literally the last option for the week we wanted. That said, the house is in desperate need of some simple updates inside. A fresh coat of paint and a couple new pieces of furniture would go a long way. My family and I grew to embrace the rustic beach cabin vibe eventually, but when we first landed in the house, in the middle of a pandemic, we were greeted by yellowed pillows ragged bed coverings. It’s the simple things like buying a new dish rack (the one that is there is super old and funky) that would go a long way to avoid our initial gasps. PS. The only shower in the house is the outdoor shower downstairs. Again, we came to embrace this but if you don’t want rustic look elsewhere. If you don’t mind chipping wallpaper and cracked plaster and want a quaint little 50’s beach apartment in an unparalleled location, this is the spot for you.

Last Minute Vacation
The proximity to the beach was excellent as well as the beach. We all enjoyed the outdoor shower hearing birds and getting a breeze. We really liked it so much better than staying in main Cape May. Very private and quiet. The shoreline has a beautiful landscape. The bathroom is updated nicely and overall we enjoyed our stay. It could use some modest updates/repair of ceiling and wallpaper in some rooms realizing it's an old victorian and probably has plaster.
