A shingled 1890s cottage two blocks from the beach, restored down to its brass fittings

Beach cottage in Cape May, NJ, United States

6 guests · 3 bedrooms · 1 bed · 2 baths


  • Two blocks to the beach

    Grab the wagon, the chairs and the tags by the door — you're on the sand in four minutes.

  • Lovingly restored

    An 1890s saltbox with its original floors and trim, renovated top to bottom in 2024.

  • Sleeps six properly

    Three true bedrooms — no sofa-bed roulette.


The cottage has kept its bones — wide-plank floors, a clawfoot tub, gingerbread trim — and gained everything you actually need: a bright new kitchen, fast wifi and an outdoor shower for sandy feet. Mornings are coffee on the porch swing; evenings are dinner in the garden under the plum tree. Beach chairs, umbrella, wagon and boogie boards all live in the shed.


The neighbourhood

Two flat blocks to the sand, three to the Washington Street Mall. Bikes in the shed, beach tags on the hook by the door.
