About this property

Salty Dog Beach House in Cape May's Historic District

This 1950’s beach cottage located on the edge of the historic district has been lovingly restored. The Salty Dog Beach House is centrally located near the corner of Jefferson and Columbia making it close to the beach, Washington Street Mall and all that Cape May has to offer. Park your car in the driveway and walk to restaurants, shopping, theaters, tours, and the Washington Street Mall. Parking can be difficult in Cape May and this house is unique as it has parking for two cars off street in the driveway.
In the evening, enjoy a fire pit in the backyard or the sounds of the horse drawn carriages pass by as you relax in the open concept kitchen/living room, while you send the kids to the basement to enjoy the home theatre. The cottage has three bedrooms upstairs and a pull out sofa on the lower level. There is a full bath upstairs and there is a half bath downstairs and an outside shower. Linens are INCLUDED at the Salty Dog, sheets, bath towels and beach towels with the turnover service. The Salty Dog offers a beach box for you to leave your beach items in at the end of your beach day. There are numerous beach chairs and a couple of beach umbrellas left for you to use during your stay (Available Memorial Day through Sept 17th). And finally, salty air comes natural with the Salty Dog Beach House. Come and visit!

Great location, super clean & comfortable home for our family of four. With two teens, it was great to have their own separate room. The downstairs living space was a nice bonus to provide more space. It was a wonderful stay during the holiday season.

Host was very welcoming and helpful. Property is very clean and had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving stay. I can only imagine how alive the town is during summer months. This home is only a few short blocks to the beach. We would love to come back.

Our family had a lovely winter stay. The home was clean, organized, and well stocked. The lower level is a great addition. Our family enjoyed gathering there one evening to watch a holiday themed movie.The owner was responsive and answered my questions that I had prior. The location was perfect for our family to walk to the heart of the town festivities. I would consider staying here again. Thank you for a positive first experience using VRBO. We appreciate you sharing your lovely home with us to create a very memorable family experience.

Nice house, walking distance to Washington st mall, several restaurants and the beach. Stayed for a long weekend with our college and HS age kids at Christmas time. Didnt use the kitchen but it was well equipped. Beds were comfortable. Park in the driveway and plan to walk bc it is challenging to park, even in December. The proximity to key locations was great. Highly recommend maison bleue for high end french dinner. Lobster house was a drive and was very mediocre. Got a lot of Christmas shopping done at the Washington st mall. Overall, highly recommend 903 columbia!

It was a great location, quiet and fulfilled our expectations. One suggestion - the towels and sheets should be replaced more frequently. They were visibly worn and several had old stains.
