Quaint little cottage
Location perfect. We were able to walk to Washington St mall, Congress Hall, and the beach. Very comfortable for 4 friends. We each had our own bedroom and shared the bathroom. Kitchen had all amenities. Driveway was a little tricky to back out of.

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.
