2 Blocks to Beach & Shopping. 4 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8 Guests.

Nostalgic Cape May charm at its best in the perfect location! Corner property only 2 short blocks to the beach and to the heart of Washington Street shops and dining. Park the car and forget about it! Only one block to all the entertainment and festivities happening at Congress Hall throughout the year. Another perk is parking for 2 cars in the driveway behind the house.This 1920s quintessential beach retreat boasts the craftsmanship and style of the past but provides all the modern amenities we’ve come to expect like the updated kitchen and bathrooms, Wi-Fi, and new central air conditioning. Historical character is exuded by the exposed brick, original hardwood floors, detailed woodwork, and refinished raised panel doors. Offering 4 Bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this enchanting family home has been lovingly maintained.The 2nd floor has an additional two bedrooms- one roomy bedroom has a queen bed, the other oversized bedroom has a double and two single beds. There is also another full hallway bathroom as well. All 4 bedrooms provide generous closets not typical of this era home.Other features include a full walkout basement with a bonus indoor shower, ample storage, and a sitting area. There is also an outdoor shower and two parking spaces.Enjoy sipping coffee on the front porch while hearing the clip-clop of the horse carriages as they pass you by. The first floor has 2 bedrooms with queen beds and a full hallway bathroom with the original iron bathtub. The eat-in kitchen has been completely remodeled with granite countertops, new cabinets, and updated appliances. Kick back in the “open concept” family room and living room or play board games in the adjoining dining room.Bedroom/1st Floor - QueenBedroom/1st Floor - QueenBedroom/2nd Floor - QueenBedroom/2nd Floor - 1 Double, 2 TwinsTenants are responsible for bringing their own flat sheets, fitted sheets, pillow cases, bath and beach towels.This is the idyllic setting for making many treasured Cape May memories. It doesn’t get any better than this! The homeowners offer 4 beach chairs and an umbrella for guests to use during their stay. There is also a baby gate and a booster seat at the house.The fireplace is non-functioning.

Absolutely a must stay for comfort and convenience to downtown Cape May!

Absolutely a must stay for comfort and convenience to downtown Cape May! This historic home has the necessary amenities expected in our lives today with all the charm of the 1920's era. My daughters and granddaughter stayed here with me for a few days to enjoy shopping on the mall and catch breathtaking sunsets on the beach. Both were extremely convenient to this location for walking to the beach or popping into a restaurant for a meal. It was perfect for picking up take out to enjoy back at the house, which is especially helpful for eating with a toddler in a home setting instead of a busy restaurant. Even during off season the off street parking provided at the house was closer to the mall than trying to find a spot amongst the crowds on the weekend. We were so pleased with this rental I could continue on describing why we loved it, but will just say we would definitely rent again and plan to do so next time we want an amazing stay in downtown Cape May!

Pleasant Off Season Getaway

There is something charming about an offseason vacation spent in a seaside town. The cottage provided a very convenient location to the center of town and the beach. Beyond our short jaunts to the lighthouse, a few playgrounds, and the zoo there was no reason to drive. The house is an older craftsman that has been well renovated. It provided the perfect space for my family and my parents in that it was large enough for the kids and the adults to have their space, but also not too cavernous. An excellent place to stay.
