Perfectly located small cottage / house just blocks from the beach. Had the best of times staying at The Point. Just amazing sitting on front porch in the morning having coffee and saying hi to everyone walking by with their dogs. House is well equipped, has great AC. We've stayed in Cape May proper before and this is quieter and more relaxing. Beach is perfect and relaxing. Cannot wait to go back

Perfect July 4th week!

The house was comfortable and we had everything we needed for a fabulous beach week. We loved the easy walk to the beach and all beach gear provided… access to nearby running and walking nature trails… short jaunt to Sunset beach, the Lighthouse and park, wineries, and incredible restaurants. The weather was perfect as were our accommodations!

We had a wonderful week at the Cambridge Cottage located on bucolic Cape May Point. The property has the architectural charm of the cottage with the bonus of modern conveniences. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed. The living room and bedrooms were very comfortable. There is a great backyard with an outdoor shower which was great for rinsing off after a day at the beach! Sarah was a very responsive host and I would definitely return to Cambridge Cottage in the future.

The house was clean and neat. It was small but adequate for 4 adults. Cookware and plates were plenty. They could use a new drip coffee maker (lid didn't close right). Beds were very comfortable and cozy. (Except for my adult son having to sleep in the bunk, but only for 3 nights so he toughed it out). The cottage could use some better lighting for reading in bed and perhaps a comfortable sleeper couch for an additional adult bed. The location was perfect for us looking to unwind, very quiet. We were close to the lighthouse and the State Park and we love to hike so that was nice. We even heard the ocean one night due to some rough surf from an ocean hurricane. The owners are very nice and responsive. All in all, we really enjoyed our week at Cambridge cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah

We are an active family that enjoys the beaches, biking, birding, nature and everything Cape May Point has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this cottage because it had been recently renovated, but still retained the charm of the original cottage. It was a place you could kick back and feel relaxed. We have tried to maintain the charm from the 1940s, such as its original windows, siding, wood flooring and antique door knobs.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful original charm throughout the home and a peaceful backyard where you can enjoy seeing the occasional bunny, turtle, or butterfly. The central location is also wonderful as you can walk anywhere in Cape May Point.
