CapeMay HistoricArea, walk to ocean, house w/driveway, Dogs OK!~ see note below~
The house is only a three to four minute walk to the ocean and boardwalk!
This spacious home has a big yard, (not fenced in) a large screened porch, two living rooms, a dining room, eat-in kitchen, three bedrooms, two full baths and a hot water outdoor shower.
You can park in the two-car driveway and walk to the ocean, boardwalk, arcade, convention center and restaurants. The Acme grocery store and Washington Street Mall are just a few more blocks away.
Being so close to the beach and boardwalk is one of the great advantages of this house. In the quiet of an evening, you can sit on the screened porch and (depending on the wind) often hear the waves crashing!
There's a lot of space on the main floor, so even with six people, you never feel crowded. The breezy screened porch is right off the kitchen and has plenty of seating.
The bright sitting room has a large tv and comfortable seating for six. The dining room has shelves of puzzles, cards and games; the expandable table seats up to ten people and is adjacent to a cozy living room.
The large, eat-in kitchen walks out to the screened porch with a picnic table that seats six. Everything you would need to prepare and serve a Thanksgiving or any holiday dinner is provided.
The master bedroom with a king bed, big tv and en suite full bath is on the main floor. The other two bedrooms are on the top floor, where there is another full bath; each upstairs bedroom has two twin beds and a tv.
Housebroken, well trained dogs over the age of eight months are welcome. We cannot accept cats due to the owners' and their children’s cat allergies.
Linens are NOT provided; you can bring your own towels, sheets and pillowcases from home, or rent them locally. We provide pillows, pillow protectors, mattress pads, blankets and bedspreads.
Beach chairs, an umbrella and beach wagon are located in the area underneath the porch.

Important Note For Guests Who Plan on Bringing a Dog
We realize that it can be hard on pets to be separated from their owners, especially if they have to be kenneled, and it’s more enjoyable for many people to have their dogs with them while they're on vacation and not have to pay for pet-sitting or boarding, or worry about how they’re faring back home.
We’ve had great success for many years in providing this vacation rental as dog- friendly and without pet fees by trusting our guests to bring only completely house-broken dogs, and relying on our guests to keep the house clean and as free from pet hair as possible, just as they would their own home.
It's totally understandable that not everyone wants to commit to housecleaning chores while they're on vacation, so please only consider this house if you agree to the following:
We ask guests with dogs who shed to vacuum up pet hair and dander from the furniture and rugs - including on the screened porch. The vacuum cleaner and extra bags are in the closet near the front door.
Sheets and blankets designated for dogs are located in the cabinet under the tv in the sitting room. These should be used if the dogs go on the furniture ~ please be sure and put them back there before you leave.
Every effort should be made to keep dogs off beds; however, if they have gotten bedding muddy or sandy, then the affected bedspreads and blankets must be washed and dried and put back in the bedroom where they belong. If only a little hair is on the bedding, please place in dryer on low with a dryer sheet, to remove any pet hair. The washer and dryer are conveniently located in the kitchen.
Please pick up after your dog in the yard and neighborhood during walks.
Dogs may not be left on the deck or screened porch if you are not home.
Each dog must be approved by the homeowners.
Guests must comply completely with the Pet Addendum and provide requested details about the dogs to the homeowners in an email.
The yard is not fenced; please make sure the gate on the deck is locked; EVEN BIG DOGS CAN GET THROUGH the small pet-door on the screened porch.

Our stay was for Coast Guard graduation so it brief and busy but the house was very well appointed. The location was perfect, close to the base and to town. The host was easy to reach and very kind.
Very convenient location in Cape May, within walking distance of both the beach and downtown attractions. Charming home with all the amenities needed. We had a great time with our Frenchie!
We rented this house in Cape May for the week of Christmas, and it was absolutely perfect for our group, which spanned ages 1 to 80. The home is spacious, incredibly charming, and thoughtfully laid out so everyone felt comfortable. The kitchen was fabulous and very well appointed, ideal for cooking and gathering together. Being just two blocks from the beach was a huge bonus; we walked the beach every day, and can only imagine how incredible it must be during the summer months. Most of all, the hosts were truly lovely, incredibly helpful, and very easy to get in touch with. We couldn’t recommend this home more highly.
We loved the house and the location.Everything was immaculate and there was so much attention to details that made our stay great. We left some new dog toys in the cabinet as our dog was a little too enthusiastic when he discovered the owner's dogs toys. We also enjoyed the map of the Cumberland Valley as Carlisle is my home town. Wondered what the connection was.
This was an excellent property in a great location and the host was super communicative and left clear and easy instructions. We appreciate that it was pet friendly, not just dogs allowed, but literally accommodating to our dog with blankets we could use on furniture, a dog door on the patio, and access to the vacuum which we like because our shepherd dog is a fluffy pooch. It was a Fall stay, when it got chilly at night there were space heaters and easy instructions for the heat. The kitchen has everything you need, and the TV’s looked new with all the popular apps on them so we were able to easily login to our various streaming accounts for entertainment. I’ve been coming to Cape May for over 20 years, this place is in a perfect location and would come again for sure. Thank you to the hosts!
An eclectic decorated home in the heart of Cape May just two blocks off the beach. Easy check in and pets are allowed! (Saved us the kennel costs.) Close to the mall and great restaurants. Owners very responsive to any questions. We had a great getaway for Thanksgiving!
My husband and I just returned from a great stay in this lovely house in the heart of Cape May. The house was very clean and well-equipped and we were thrilled with how close it was to the beach and to the shops and restaurants in the Washington Street Mall area. We definitely hope to come back for another stay in the near future.
We loved being so close to the beach and taking the wagon full of beach chairs there for sunset. Sunrise & coffee on the screened-in patio was a great way to start the day.
This house was just what we needed. Close to everything. Great porch, nice- well supplied kitchen. Great space, TVs and games for nights and rainy days.
We had another great week at this property! We love all the amenities, the location, and the space in the house, especially the screened-in deck. We also like the fact that we can bring our dog. We will be back next year!
Once again, we had a wonderful stay in this spacious and comfortable home. The best part was the proximity to the beach and the outdoor shower. Kitchen and bathrooms are updated. The owners are accommodating and communicative. Best vacation!
Great house and a wonderful location in relation to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The screened-in back porch was delightful for relaxing and eating. The kitchen was well-supplied for cooking - lots of pots and pans. The outdoor grill was simple to use. All areas of the house were very clean. The three bedrooms were perfect for the six of us, and the living rooms, kitchen, and dining room gave us plenty of space. It was so nice to have the beach chairs and umbrella in a wagon ready for the beach! It was also a bonus to be able to bring our dog. We hope to return!

What makes this property unique
Fantastic location, a two minute walk to the best beach in Cape May, bright and sunny house. The high efficiency A/C window units keep the whole house very cool! The house is close to everything. Just a short walk to the ocean, boardwalk, restaurants, bars and Washington St. Mall. Bring your bikes and ride to the Lobster House and fishing and boating harbor areas. Cape May is only 45 minute away from the great shows and gambling of Atlantic City!
