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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Cute and Clean in a Lovely Location
My partner and I were so impressed with this cute, clean home! All the original charm has been carefully preserved but it still felt modern and cozy. It's a pleasant walk to Washington Street Mall under shady trees and along pretty houses and gardens. Getting to the beach from this location was really easy, and the owners provide bicycles to make it even easier, as well as some beach gear. There were plenty of towels and nice touches like throw blankets to help you feel right at home. The owners were really nice and easy to get in touch with. They were extremely gracious and made everything easy. Really enjoyed our stay in this perfectly located, sweet and cozy home.

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.

Great location but rooms had issues
Pros: great location, good communication with owner, plenty of room, good layout, airy and bright. brand new grill, nice bathrooms, comfortable beds Cons: dated and worn feel, ants everywhere, holes in floor in kitchen, kitchen just too warm due to solar gain. Underpowered a/c units on hot days. Cheap countertop and appliances, not enough storage or food prep area in kitchen

The unit was bright and sunny and very quaint. We really enjoyed our stay. The steps into the unit were a little awkward and steep which made it a little tricky for one member of our family. Despite that, we would rent it again!

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.

A perfect family getaway!
We stayed at this wonderful house in Cape May with our 3 year old and 8 month old. It was the perfect size home, with everything we needed. If you are traveling with children of similar ages, we were able to easily fit a pack and play in the largest bedroom for the baby, and our 3 year old loved the bottom bunk of the bunk bed room! It was an easy, beautiful walk down Washington Street to get to where we needed to go. The home was so clean, which was important to us as our 8 month old is all over the floor all of the time! The set up with having the kitchen open to the living room was also perfect to always have our eyes on the little ones. This was our first time traveling with our two bambinos and I must say, Gina's house made it the best trip ever! My older son wakes up every morning asking if we can go back! Highly recommend, and hope we can come back some day! Also, we had a few issues with the cable and Gina was so prompt with getting it fixed. I even left a very important item at the house when we left, and Gina was so easy to contact to get it back to me. I really appreciate all that she did to make our stay so wonderful.

Cute House
This property is very cute! It's everything I needed for a relaxing few days in Cape May. Although older, it's in great shape and is beautifully appointed. The kitchen is small but has a full size range and fridge. The living and dining areas are large enough for a crowd. There are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and closet, the other with a bunkbed and a clothes rack. The bathrooms are on the small side, but have everything I needed. The best part of this house is all the windows - lots of sunshine throughout the house! The only problem I had was some sketchy internet. The owner was very helpful in trying to solve the problem. I enjoyed my stay.
