Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Cape May
Our home was purchased to be close to the places we love. We hope you will enjoy our home and its wonderful location ideal for creating fun and fond memories.
The Unique Benefits at this Single With Parking
We love watching the sunrise from the front porch or living room. Its great having a large back yard so our two boys can run and play. We love walking through Cape May, picture taking, imagining what it was like when only the gas lights lit the streets, wondering whom would come out from one of the wonderful Victorian homes with their vivid display of colors and decorations. Christmas must have been a special season in days gone by, as it is today in Cape May. It is a place to fall in love again. A great place to walk hand in hand. We love being able to walk to some of the finest restaurants in the country. The boys, Nigel (toy poodle) and Silver, (miniature poodle) love walking to the hot dog stand near the beach. Its your turn to explore this great area. Come stay, relax and enjoy!
400' to the Promenade. Stroll to the promenade shops, restaurants, arcades and miniature golf. You might even catch a wedding on the beach or an amazing sunrise or sunset.
Only a few short blocks to downtown Cape May, the Victorians & Washington Street Mall which consists of quaint shops, great restaurants, horse carriage rides, trolley rides, antique shops and more.
Everything is within walking distance or use the bikes provided with our rental unit. Great times, great fun for the whole family. 4-5 Blocks and you are in the middle of all the great fun.
Pick up all your BBQ needs at the local Acme grocery store. Parking is provided for Acme customers. Bank of America is also located in the same shopping center.
What a special treat for breakfast lunch or dinner. Reasonably priced, fresh, made to order food. One of our favorite places to walk to for lunch or dinner.
A must - request a seat on the porch for a couple - but make your reservation - on our 05/09 I had Prime Rib that was out standing, Deb had Blackend Catfish with Vanilla Sauce & Bannanas just outstand
Owner's Map of Cape May
Here I am with my boys. Nigel, the white toy poodle and Silver, the silver miniature poodle. They have their life jackets on. You may see us on your visit to our wonderful home. We love the beach and the ocean and enjoy walking the gas lit streets of Cape May. The boys want us to make our retreat available to other well behaved boys and girls, both of their world and of mine. My daughters also have wonderful memories of the beach, zoo and the time spent together in Cape May and in all the nearby seaside communities including Wildwood, Stone Harbor, Sea Isle City, Ocean City and the many towns in between. We particularly love Cape May because it is rich in history and is a year round community. Come stay, relax and enjoy our home. Perhaps we may leave a treat for you. May God Bless and enrich each and everyone that visits our home.
