Stayed here over Columbus Day weekend and the place was perfect! Very clean, easy to check-in and a modern living space. Location is great - super close to the beach and promenade and a quick walk to Washington Street Mall. The host was very friendly and responsive and I would 100% stay here again!

Cozy and convenient!!
We stayed there for a beach weekend in December and the place was perfect for our family. Just a block off the ocean and a few minutes walk to downtown. I definitely recommend this property for a relaxing stay at the beach. We’ll be back for sure!!
Great place for a family to stay in a very clean and updated place with lots of convenient amenities to be comfortable. Kitchen and living room are great for the family to hang out. Love the outdoor shower, outdoor storage for provided beach equipment, good WiFi and AC. Great communication with owner.we stayed with small kids and it was good for them. Only drawback is the fourth bedroom you must access through the master. Best part is how close it is to the beach!
The property was clean and simply perfect. We had a great time in Cape May for the weekend. This is our 3rd annual visit and we’ve never had any issues. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to relax just a few blocks away from the old town shops and restaurants.
We’ll be coming back next year!!

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! See you next year!
Very nice property. Owner supplied many extras like hand soap, dish soap, tissues, dishwasher pods and more. It felt like we were borrowing someone’s home, rather than just renting a place to sleep. Decorations were homey and overall a great property and location.
This was our second trip to Cape May, but our first staying at this property. It was perfect. The location is ideal.One short block to the beach made it an easy walk for short or long visits to the ocean. Plenty of space, and a nice sized kitchen. Also a locked outside storage bin where we could leave our chairs/etc (and where the owner provided a cart and some other materials)>
We were very comfortable, and it was family friendly. Perfect for us (2 families, each with one kid). Would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful vacation. The condo was clean, comfortable and perfectly located for walking to town and biking everywhere. The beach was just a short stroll down the block from the front porch.
However there are three minor upgrades that would make it a five star property.
1- install a clothesline in the back or side yard for hanging towels and bathing suits or even a retractable line across the shower and tub. There was literally no where to hang anything.
2- ceiling fans in the bedrooms and common room. Wonderful ocean breezes came down Jefferson Ave but without fans we couldn’t circulate that lovely air.
3- room darkening shades for the third floor bonus room skylights. It was a lovely large room but the afternoon sun turned it into a greenhouse and the a/c could not keep up.
With these fixes the house would be practically perfect.
It’s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy Cape May.

Susan, Thank you for your review! I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay at our house, and I appreciate your constructive suggestions on potential improvements. The clothesline was removed when we replaced the fence by the outside shower last winter, and we had not yet installed the towel racks that are now available in that location. We will certainly consider the other improvements you have suggested. We would welcome you to visit again!
Wonderful stay in a beautiful home close to the beach!
We had a wonderful time at this rental property. The location is perfect - just 1 block from the beach - and the house itself had plenty of room for my family and my inlaws. The main level was great for gathering, and everyone had their corner of the house to retreat back to at the end of day. We're looking forward to staying here again.
Beautiful unit with great layout for a family. Very very close to the beach and entrypoint which makes for easy access and close enough to stop back to the house during a beach day for bathrooms etc. Beach cart and chairs offered with storage unit making packing much easier. Our second time visiting and would highly recommend !
Close to the heart of Cape May yet still quiet and private. One block to the beach and promenade. Perfect for a family weekend away with the kids and the grandparents. Highly recommend this property if you’re looking to vacation in Cape May.
My family (5 and 8 YO) had a great time here. We were off season, but still so much to do. The property owner was helpful with suggestions and very pleasant to communicate with. We had a minor snafu with the check-in process but we were able to work through it and didn't let it delay our good times. Thankfully the boardwalk arcade was still open. It's in a great location even for off-season but I can see if you're there during Beach time, this is the place to be. It's a wonderful neighborhood with proximity torestaurants and just far enough away from the busier downtown where it's an easy walk, but without the noise and traffic. Would definitely stay here again.
This is a great two-level apartment just one block from the beach and close to the heart of Cape May. 4 adults, one kindergartener and a toddler enjoyed the place very comfortably for a long weekend. Check-in was a breeze, everything was clean on our arrival, and the location can’t be beat — close enough to walk easily to the heart of Cape May, but a little removed for a quiet evening. Highly recommend.
Stayed with my family of 5 (3 YOUNG kids) and my parents for a week. The house is exactly as advertised. Rebecca was a wonderful host even checking in on us after hearing about the remnants of Hurricane Ida hitting New Jersey (but largely avoiding Cape May).
Best part was being one short block from the some of the best beaches in the world. This can't be overstated.

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Alexander
We are from Denver, Colorado, but have enjoyed summers renting other people’s homes in Cape May for more than 20 years. We have built a lifetime of memories with our children and extended family in Cape May. We finally decided that we wanted a place of our own, which are thrilled to be sharing with you!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property because it offered the ideal combination of the old Victorian feel that Cape May is so well known for, with a brand new remodel and all the comforts of home! It’s location simply can’t be beat — 1 block from the beach, 1 block to restaurants, and only 6 blocks to the Washington Street mall.
