This well appointed, cedar-shake ground floor condo is in a choice location, perfect for small families with young children or an adult couple’s getaway.

Walk 2 blocks west, and you are in the heart of West Cape May with its selection of antique stores, cafes and other quaint shops.
A lovely feature is the outdoor living space. Lean back and enjoy the evening sea breeze on the new wrap-around porch, it is the perfect place to relax after a day at the beach. Sit in the rocker chairs and watch the horse drawn carriages pass by. Also on the front porch is a 4-seat outdoor dining area with ceiling fan/light. There is also a new enclosed side porch with comfortable wicker furniture and lovely greenery -- ideal for reading and relaxing. This enclosed porch is shared with the upstairs condo. The garden is nicely landscaped with a seating area, fully enclosed outdoor shower, and gas BBQ grill.
This condo was completely renovated in 2007 with contemporary, high-end finishes. Inside you will find light oak hardwood floors throughout, large gourmet eat-in kitchen with granite counter-tops and six bar stools. New appliances and new central A/C and heating keeps it the perfect temperature.
The condo has high speed wireless Internet access, flat screen high-definition TV with Comcast Xfinity cable, DVD player , CD/Radio.

The second bedroom has three twin beds and lots of closet space (this bedroom also has a TV and Nintendo GameCube with plenty of games). The light, airy bathroom with white wainscoting and tiled shower, and washer/dryer. The fully equipped kitchen includes all dishes, glasses, flatware, utensils, pots and pans, refrigerator with ice-maker, gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker and toaster.
Windsor Avenue is a quiet, tree-lined street and not one of the town’s major thoroughfares, so getting to and from the beach and other nearby locations is a breeze. We provide a guaranteed off-street parking space (in a driveway shared with the upstairs unit). Additionally, there is plentiful metered and unmetered parking on Windsor Avenue and nearby.
Finally, traveling with a larger group? Check out 210 Windsor Avenue, Unit B (the upstairs unit, which is separately owned and not affiliated with Unit A). VRBO Listing # 320217. It may be possible to rent both units to accommodate your large group.

Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Cape May
Cape May, NJ is the nation’s oldest seashore resort and a winner of the 2010 Traveler’s Choice Award from Tripadvisor. It has some of the nicest beaches around with lovely sand dunes and the shops, restaurants, and bars of Beach Drive. Congress Hall is a top notch destination hotel and a great place for cocktails!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Of course, Atlantic City is only 45 minutes away up the Garden State Parkway!! The IMAX theatre there is cool. Visit "The Quarter" at Tropicana and The Borgata. Or, head south and take the Cape May-Lewes ferry across to the lovely quaint town of Lewes or hop the bus to Rehobeth Beach. If wine is your thing there are a number of local vineyards with tastings and other events.
Owner's Map of Cape May
Before buying our piece of Cape May in 2007, we were long time visitors to Cape May. It is a great place to vacation with our family and is unique among New Jersey resort towns. There is plenty to do and see, but it steers well clear of the loudness and frenetic activity that characterizes some other places at the Shore.

This is our families second time renting this property. The proximity to the beach and walking distance to the center of town is simply perfect. Plus, we enjoyed watching the world go by on the ;arge front porch. You couldn't ask for a better owner to deal with. He is very accessible and if any issues arise he takes care it right away. We had a great vacation!!

This was our first time renting a place for a whole week and what a wonderful choice we made. The place is beautiful and unique. The amenities were beyond what we expected and in working order. The decor of the apartment were very tasteful and homey. The kids loved the game cube, scooters, the secluded street to safely ride and walk. The distance to town and the beach were just right...not too close, and definitely not too far. My only complaint (and I say that lightly) is that it is on the first floor. The unit above us had some active kids, so we could hear them running around from time to time. Since we slept in the back room, we didn't hear anything at night while we slept. However, if you're going to be in the front room (and you're a light sleeper), it might be wise to be wise to bring some ear plugs. The parking is also a little cumbersome. You can park, but you will have to play musical cars with who ever parks there with you (the upstairs renters). We will definitely rent this unit again...and recommend it to anyone else who is thinking of renting.

We stayed here with our 11 yo in early June, 2011. The owner was very easy to deal with and was readily available the 2 times we called him (once to let him know we had arrived and once to ask how to use the cable tv). The newer kitchen has a large pantry and refrigerator in case you want to stock up and do your own cooking. The porch is deep enough, and awnings large enough, that we could sit in the rocking chairs during a rainstorm and not get wet. The table on the porch accommodated a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle. The street was still being paved when we were there, but it seems like it would be a quiet block once the bulldozers leave. The block is tree-lined and the houses on it large and well-maintained. There is an outdoor shower for rinsing off or washing as it is enclosed. There is a clothesline for wet towels and bathing suits. The bedroom with the double bed is small with only two drawers available in the dresser (we like to unpack everything) but very quiet at the back of the apartment. The larger bedroom has 2 big wardrobes where you can put everyone's clothes. Our 11 yo tried out the gamecube but wasn't enthusiastic about it. Honestly, are you here to play video games or to go the beach? Check out the location on a map and see how close you are to some very fine restaurants. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

My wife, 20 month old daughter, and myself stayed at this property for a weekend getaway in mid May 2011. There are three things that I look for when dealing with a rental: 1) the rental itself 2) the location/proximity of the rental, and 3) dealing with the owner. From my initial email inquiries about the property, the owner was a standup individual. He answered emails promptly, and was upfront and honest about the fact that Cape May (in May 2011) was replacing sewer lines, which meant that the entire block where his house resided was ripped up. When we arrived in Cape May, we did find this to be the case - the road was ripped up, and unfortunately, completely closed off. After parking on the next block down the road, we had to lug all of our belongings and toddler a good 150 yards to the house. Not ideal, but we were warned. Upon entering the house, we encountered a minor problem - the house had not been cleaned. After contacting the owner, he quickly returned my email, stating that he had just contacted the cleaning service and just found out himself that they had not come to the house that week due to the road repair. He refunded us $75 and we had the minor inconvenience of giving the house a quick cleaning. As for the house itself, it's simple, but well maintained, having been recently updated. The porch is it's best feature, and it turned out with the road being closed that it probably was even more quiet than usual. It is an old house, and the floors have settled quite a bit. The kitchen is full service with anything you need to cook supplied. In the 2nd bedroom the owner supplies a GameCube with games along with boardgames and playing cards. Internet access was also a plus. One minor issue were the ants in the kitchen - I did notice the occasional one scampering on the counter. I brought this to the owner's attention and I would not be surprised if that issue was already taken care of. As for location? Great! A few blocks from the town center, and a few from the beach.. all on a residential street..can't be beat! We would gladly return.

We had a wonderful stay over Christmas, snowed in by the blizzard hitting the East Coast that time. Even though we stayed at a very unusual time of the year we had a great time at this perfectly maintained place. The condo is spacious and the kitchen is great. It's a 2 minute walk to the beach and the shops are close too. Christopher was the perfect host by giving us a lot of information in advance. He was there whenever we needed anything - amazing service.

We are a family of three who enjoyed this condo last summer. We've vacationed in Cape May three other times and think this was the best accommodation we've found .The location is great, close to both the beach and pedestrian mall. The condo is very clean and well-appointed - the kitchen was wonderfully remodeled. The front porch is a nice place to relax and watch the horse drawn carriages. The owner is very attentive to the property and was very helpful and availabe to us before and during our stay. We highly recommend this rental. It is especially great for families with young children.

We are long time Cape May renters and found this condo to be a wonderful rental and so close to everything. The condo its self is lovely and superbly renovated. It is very clean and the location of the condo is PERFECT! 2 blocks to the mall and a street down from all of the restaurants and shops. We stayed with our family of 6-my husband and I and our 4 young kids (all 11 and under). My favorite part of the condo is the lovely outside porch, where we often enjoyed breakfast and dinner while people watching. Another bonus is that you can watch the horse drwan carriages go by in the morning while enjoying your coffee. My kids loved this! I also loved that we did not need to drive anywhere. Just park your car and walk to every spot in town. Highly recommended rental. You will love it!!

My family has been to Cape May at least ten times, and this was our first experience renting a condo rather than staying in a hotel. We couldn't have been happier with this choice! The location was perfect- two blocks from the beach, and equally close to town. Everything was within walking distance. The condo itself is beautiful- the kitchen and living area are brand new, there is a great outdoor porch, and all of the amenities make this place extra special. The owner was very helpful and responsive to any inquiries we had. I highly recommend this property.
