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.

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

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.

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!

Comfortable Quiet Cottage Near the Sea

We stayed six nights the week after Labor Day. The cottage was ideally located about a 3 minute walk to the uncrowded Cape May Point beach, and about a 4 minute walk to the lighthouse/Cape May State Park walking trails. It's a beautiful neighborhood for cycling and a short ride to the cafe and shops at Sunset Beach. The cottage has generous living room and dining room seating. The kitchen is well equipped. We appreciated the double sink in the upstairs bathroom and the comfortable queen bed in the primary bedroom. The outdoor enclosed shower was a welcome option when returning from the beach. Sarah our host, was friendly and responded immediately to the questions that we asked. I would book here again.

Quiet and walkable to beach, lake

We came for the cape may bird migration fest and the Point is closer to where we were going to be. It’s nice and quiet, driveway parking, and minutes away from lake and beach. It’s a very cute place, very old and reminiscent of going to the shore with past generations when life was simpler. We found the beds to be uncomfortable and flimsy. Better beds with new mattresses would really improve the experience. I’d prefer not to have to bring my own sheets and towels but that’s just a personal preference. Driving to downtown is certainly easy enough but parking was difficult to find in the evenings.

Just what we needed

Cambridge Cottage is located in the heart of Cape May Point, easy walking distance to the beach, the lighthouse, and Lilly Lake. The property itself is very nicely designed for relaxation and conversation with a spacious living room, welcoming dining room, and upgraded kitchen. The owners were courteous, responsive, and even allowed my wife and I to stay extra time while I waited for a jump for my car battery. If you want a peaceful beach stay at Cape May, it would be hard to find a better spot.
