About this property

Cozy cottage on iconic tree lined Washington Street

Great location, cozy first floor one bedroom in a historic Cape May home on iconic Washington Street. Located less than 1 mile bike to Madison Ave beach, great restaurants, and just 5 short blocks to the Washington Street Mall. Enjoy two separate exterior entrance/exits from the cottage for maximum privacy. Large sliding doors to the patio (a shared space among 3 units) beckon the natural sunlight resulting in a cheerful space much larger than a hotel room with more privacy than an efficiency or bed and breakfast. Located just 3 blocks from the Washington Inn and other signature Cape May eats! Washington Street Mall is located just 5 short blocks away where you can shop, dine, or enjoy a cocktail in the Brown Room at Congress Hall. Looking for adventure, grab a house bike and a beach towel and head to Madison Ave Beach, less than one mile away! Sit and relax the day away or head to Grant Street beach or the Cove to catch some waves! Had enough of the beach? Grab your tennis racket and check out the Physick Estate, or call the Cape May Free ride to visit one of Cape May’s amazing winery’s. If you like to fish, you’re in the right spot with local charters or take a booze cruise on the Tiny Tiki out of South Jersey Marina! In Cape May, you can do nothing at all, but there will never be nothing to do!

Have a larger party and need more space? Check out our other two rentals at this location as well. The Flybridge Vrbo 2702163 and The Starboard Vrbo 2711056 . Interested in renting the entire house, please check availability for those property ID's. Home is 5 bed, 5 bath home with Queen bed on third floor bonus room. Entire home can sleep a maximum of 16 with two pull outs.

COZY & QUIET !!! Good for 2 people. Very comfortable and quaint. The bathroom is a little tight but the shower was great. The bikes could stand some maintenance and my granddaughter (11) was unable to find one that would work for her. I liked the outdoor patio area and overall I enjoyed my stay. Close to everything but yet isolated .

We absolutely loved the cozy cottage It was perfect for my husband and I.We were told to put the garbage out Monday and Tuesday for recycling. However it was actually Tuesday and Wednesday. It has rained Sunday so us 70-year olds had to dump the heavy water out of the containers to be able to move them the whole way around to the front.Also, instructions for using the TV would have been nice. We missed a few late sports gàmes because we couldn't get anything without a password.Overall, it was wonderful. Nice place.

Great Little Place

I was in Cape May for four days to go birding and this place was perfect. Great location on Washington Street less than a mile from the mall where all the shops and restaurants are located. Small, but fine for one person (or two). And very nice outdoor space as well.

This was a cute little space for 2 people. Only thing lacking was adequate storage for your clothes and food. Otherwise it a perfect spot for a couple to stay! Bikes, beach chairs and tags were a definite plus!

Cape May Bungalow

My husband & I enjoyed our stay in the Crew Quarters. The rental was very clean. We enjoyed the bikes included especially since the rental is a long walk from the center of town. We would rent again.

About the host

Hosted by Gina Milner

Host profile image
I’m Gina and my husband is Andy, we both grew up coming to the Jersey Shore and visiting Cape May. We met in college and fell in love on an off shore fishing trip! Fishing was always Andy’s passion and I never left the beach, but one day despite a treacherous journey miles off shore the ocean quieted and I fell in love, with him, and a view of the ocean I had never experienced. We own a boat and dock it at the gorgeous Cape May Marina and in January of 2022, after years of searching, we finally bought our little sliver of the island on Washington Street. If you can’t find us surfing at the COVE, or eating at The C-VIEW, we’ve gone fishing!

Why they chose this property

Cape May is the oldest shore town in the US. A fishing town that managed to marry its fresh catch with some outstanding chefs, including the only Michelin Star Chef in New Jersey. Gorgeous beaches line the coast and history abounds! Washington Street in particular is quintessential Cape May! The street is lined with colorful Victorian homes including this property which is a contributing historic structure built in the 1800’s. Washington Street is a great street to people watch, where you feel like you are part of the action without having to leave the property!

What makes this property unique

Historic Victorian in the heart of Downtown Cape May.
