About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ocean Views, seconds to the beach, and a 5 minute walk to downtown shopping!

The Blue Whale (circa 1872) is centrally located just one block from the beach and is less than a 10-minute walk to Cape May’s Washington Street Mall. The amazing location makes enjoying the beach, grabbing a morning cup of coffee, or dining at one of Cape May’s restaurants all that more enjoyable of an experience. With a covered private rear deck that has amazing ocean views, you’ll love sipping cocktails or dining with family just outside the comfort of your living room.

Condo #2 is the second-floor unit of the Blue Whale. Enter from the main front common entrance or from your private entrance at the back of the property. The Blue Whale was recently refreshed in the off season and boasts new paint along with other upgrades. The condo has a partial kitchen that is open to the living area. When you’re not enjoying being out and about in Cape May or enjoying the outside weather from your large private deck with ocean views, the living room has a 65” TV with Hulu, Hulu Live, Netflix and a blazing fast mesh Wi-Fi.

There are 2 bedrooms and one bathroom. Relax in your oversized master bedroom with a king-sized bed and 65” TV. The middle bedroom has a bunk bed with full-sized bed on the bottom and a twin-sized bed on the top.

New to the 2023 season, we just completely renovated the bathroom with plenty of high end finishes such as a custom tile shower and high-end bath fixtures.

The mattresses are encased in protective coverings, and guests are required to bring blankets, bedding, and linens.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. The vacation home also includes a coffee maker.

Perfect place for a vacation

My wife and I enjoyed a week long getaway at the blue whale after our wedding. It was within a block from the beach, close to the Washington street mall, and a bike ride away to sunset beach. It was an excellent experience - we will be coming back here again!

We really enjoyed our stay here, and will book it again if it's available the next time we go to Cape May. The location was excellent, and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. We enjoyed relaxing on the large front porch, and having coffee on our private patio with the view of the ocean. The rooms were airy and clean, with a window AC in each one which kept us cool and comfortable. We really appreciated the huge TV in the living room, because we wanted to watch football on Sunday, plus the other large TV in the master bedroom. The kitchen was large enough to accommodate our needs, and the bathroom updates were nice as well. We had a fantastic time and the price point was definitely worth the money spent!

A Nice Way to Celebrate

I took my twins and a friend to celebrate their high school graduation. The price was reasonable, the apartment accommodating, and the location perfect. Not only was it a short walk to the beach, but we alo walked to Sunset Pavillion, the Washington St Mall, and the tennis courts. Rented bikes from the shop around the corner and rode to Subset Beach and around the neighborhood to look at all the cool houses. It was a wonderful way to celebrate 4 yrs of hard work!

The Blue Whale

We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Whale. We had a nice sized deck facing the beach and had a satisfactory view of the ocean. The deck had a roof which was nice on rainy and very sunny days. Our second floor apartment was the only one with this amenity. It was calmer and quieter than being right on the beach, but still had a view! We walked everywhere we went and didn't have to move cars around. Found parking actually right in front of the building. We spent time on the lovely front porch watching people go by and having our wine and looking at the beautiful homes across the street. The three of us fit in very well. More than 4 would be very tight. It is a small area. Nicely redone bathroom, very adequate, but again, small. Kitchen is well appointed for modest cooking. We had no problem with making meals. There is no oven, but there is a toaster oven and a microwave. Also, toaster and coffee maker.

Cape May trip

You can’t beat the location of this property, but there are some things not mentioned in the listing that should be included for other people looking to book here. The “kitchen” is listed as a kitchen and then a kitchenette. I would describe it as a kitchenette. There is just a stove top, no oven attached to it. There is very little space in the living area. Unfortunately, with the large tv and room arrangement, you couldn’t have people sit at the table and be comfortable. It’s also listed as a 2 bedroom, but what isn’t said is that you have to walk thru one bedroom to get to the master bedroom. We were there with our 2.5 year old and there wasn’t a lot of space for him to move around. This property is 3 separate apartments, one on each floor that we didn’t realize, which was fine. The problem was the other people kept leaving the front door open and making a lot of noise. The location was awesome, the beds were comfortable, and there was an AC unit in each room. They included beach tags, which was very helpful. All in all, it wasn’t a bad stay, but a more accurate description would be helpful.

Needs a Lot of Work

We had hurricane weather all during our stay, but tried to make the best of it. The location can't be beat ,but we were disappointed in the apartment. Many things need to be updated or repaired. The porch and and screen door need a lot of work. The door is not safe. The living room sofa definitely needs to be replaced, and the bathroom needs more surface space and some towel racks. The rug was filthy. I hope you will be able to attend to some of these problems before next summer.

Suggestions 1. Need towel racks in bathroom 2. Need toilet paper holder in bathroom 3. Large bed in middle room is queen size, not full or double (double bed sheets did not fit) 4. Need window shade in second front window 5. Would be nice to have a chair in large front bedroom. 6. We could not open what may have been closet doors, in hall and bathroom, so were not able to locate a broom to sweep. 7. Took a long time for kitchen water to get hot, but we appreciated heads up about shower water taking a long time to heat up. 8. Nearby on-street parking was usually quite difficult during a very busy September. 9. In general, the apartment was comfortable, quiet and convenient. 10. The price was right until all the extra fees were added on.

Old house being renovated

Stayed on the 2nd floor. House is old and needs a lot of work. Having said that the owner was very nice about replacing an air conditioner that didn’t work. And he is fixing the place up. Took a few minutes to get hot water in the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Shower is very small, and just a lot of little things that need done. I wish him luck and I’m sure he’ll be able to rent all summer!

Great location.

This was located in a great location. Had two huge televisions. We did have some problems with the toilet but, it was nothing major and we spoke with the owner about it, he assured us he would have some one look at it. It had a great porch but the outside steps were a little steep and made some of our party a little nervous using them.

Perfect place for a couple or family with young kids. Privacy is limited since you must walk through the smaller bedroom to get to the master. The place had definitely been cleaned between guests but there is some wear and tear throughout. In the end, you cannot beat the short walk to the beach.
