Quaint
Quaint property. Quiet. Needs a bit of up keep and bit of cleaning. Bedrooms are on the first floor along with a full bath and laundry. The mattress in the master bedroom was a bit too firm for our liking so we bought a foam topper to use for our stay. There were a few cobwebs in the rooms and dirt build up in the ceiling vents. The sofa was stained and not comfortable to us. Over all it was quaint but needs some up keep.

Rest and Rejuvination
So lovely to stay here! It was a bonus to get to meet Bernadette and her husband, Ron. We loved the location, the home, and the love and thoughtfulness that they have put into the home. It is charming, it is creative, it is sooooo relaxing and just wonderful as are Bernadette and Ron. We very much look forward to coming back! Thank you for a wonderful experience and sharing your home with us! Mary McIntosh

Great week just feet away from the beach
Our family wanted to stay in a quite area of Cape May that was close to the beach. The cottage checked both boxes, and in fact we were much closer to the beach than we thought. Great view of the ocean from the screen porch. The Jitney ran past the house, so getting around Cape May was easy and we didn’t have to drive much. We brought our dog with us and he was fine, however the spiral staircase was tough for the dog. There is a set of stairs outside that leads to the porch, so that was how we got the dog up and down the stairs. Our family was overall very happy to stay there and we enjoyed ourselves for every second we had there.

Perfect peaceful stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay once again. The house was comfortable and our hosts gracious as ever. Even during the July 4th week this house is a refuge. Looking forward to next summer!

Gem of a place on historic Beach Avenue
Great place with plenty of room for our family, including our dog. Easy access to the beach and within walking distance of a few great restaurants. Highly recommend this place and wonderful communication with Ron and Bernadette.

About the host

Hosted by Bernadette

Host profile image
My Love for the Natural Beauty of Cape May Island and the Magnificent Atlantic Ocean Brought Me Here twenty two Years Ago. The Uniqueness of Cape May as a Historic Landmark City Next to a Nature Reserve Brings Visitors to This Special Remarkable Area of the East Coast. Special Friends Were Met Along the Way. A CD Called 'Cape May Preludes' by Jackson Berkey of Manheim Steamroller Has Made Colvmns by the Sea a Well Known Destination and Brings the Feeling of This Special Place Into the Music Realm.

Why they chose this property

I Bought This Property Because of the Quiet Oceanfront Location at the Eastern End of Cape May.

What makes this property unique

Reading on the Front Porch is a Special Pastime, Bird Watching on the Rooftop Deck is Fascinating and the Sunsets Are Wonderfully Breathtaking. Watching the Surf from the Porch and Being Steps to the Sand Has Made This a Special Place to Make Memories.
