Charming beachfront cottage

One of our beautiful weeks in Cape May. The cottage was so charming and comfortable. Loved the updated appliances and TVs. Really felt like home. The location was perfect, just a short walk to one of the less crowded beautiful beaches. We did have a chance to meet the owner when we checked in, and he was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay for a week at Bernadette and Ron’s cottage! It was perfect for 2 adults and a 5 year old. The sun porch on the second floor was sublime and we spent a lot of time out there. There are two full baths which is so convenient. The kitchen amenities were great (dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, etc) and there was a washer and dryer. The location was excellent. It is across the street from the beach and you only have to walk about half a block up to get to a beach entrance. The Jitney shuttle picks up about a block and a half away and takes you straight into town. We also had our bikes and were able to easily ride over that way.We’ll definitely look to stay here next time we come back to Cape May!

Amazing Relaxing Beach/Cape May Retreat

We were immediately enamored by the cottage, its charm and its location to the beautiful beach! As longtime ‘Jersey Shore’ beach lovers, we couldn’t believe that we could hear the waves and glimpse the ocean from the screened in porch. And the beach itself was beautiful and not too crowded. In addition, the cottage is charming, comfortable, fully stocked, and we were so comfortable and felt right at home. Ron and Bernadette were extremely responsive and the home was stocked with beautiful soaps and lotions as well as all paper products. There were books, puzzles and games -You are also only 1 block from the local Cape May shuttle if you don’t want to drive into town. We hope to be able to book another week next summer!
