About this property

Beautifully Renovated in Heart of Cape May - 1 Block to Beach; 1 Block to Mall

  • Amazing location one block to the beach and one block to the Washington Street mall!! This lovely Victorian was built in the 1880s and captures all of the exterior elegance and charm of that era. The home features a stunning wrap around porch, where you can sit and watch the horse and carriages walk by. The home has a picturesque side yard (very rare for the center of town) equipped with a Weber gas grill and seating for outdoor cookouts. The 2-car driveway offers coveted centralized parking for your stay. Additional non-metered parking can be found around the corner on Hughes Street or Columbia Avenue.

    Recent renovations include: freshly painted exterior, the removal of wall-to-wall carpeting and refinishing of original wood floors/stairs; freshly painted interior; new air conditioning system; renovated kitchen on the 2nd floor and thoughtfully designed kitchenette on the 1st floor; renovated eating areas on the 1st and 2nd floors; custom window treatments; and many new furnishings throughout the house.

    The first floor has a living room; a new kitchenette and eating area – perfect for board games and conversation; a full hall bathroom with a jacuzzi tub; and a first-floor master bedroom with a Tempurpedic king-size bed, television, and ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. The second floor has a second master bedroom with a queen-size bed and ensuite bathroom; a third bedroom with a queen bed and television; a full hall bathroom; and a beautiful kitchen and dining area overlooking historic Ocean Avenue. The final two bedrooms are located on the third floor, one with a queen size bed and the second with a twin bed. A tri-fold memory foam mattress also is available for guests to use.

    Nine commercial beach tags are available for guests to use during the summer season, as is a beach box on Ocean Avenue beach, stocked with 7 beach chairs (an additional chair is at the home). No carrying chairs back and forth to the beach!! There is an outdoor shower for after your days at the beach. For the security of the property and guests, there is a Ring exterior security camera on the porch with views of the front and side porch areas and doors. Sheets and towels are not provided. Guests may bring their own sheets and towels or rent through a local service. Information on a recommended linen service is provided to all guests after confirmation of booking.

Amazing house with a great location!My only negative was that it was advertised as having a hot tub, which is an essential feature for our girls trips. Heads up that there is no hot tub, I believe this feature was listed due to the very large bathtubs, which we didn’t all pile into.

End of Summer Stay

Stayed here with family just after Labor Day. Worked good for us because we were travelling with a nine month old. Parents and baby could stay on the first floor and have access to a kitchenette while the rest of the group had the upstairs. Property has a nice yard and is close to beach, shopping and restaurants.

Great Stay at the Queen's Cottage!

The Queen's Cottage is conveniently located between the beach and and the Washington Street Mall. In addition to the generous number of bedrooms and full-baths, The house boasts two kitchens - one on the first floor for quick preps and one on the second floor for more traditional meals. The house is well-appointed with plenty of room for guests to spread out and enjoy beautiful Cape May. If you're looking for a home for a large family or friends to gather, look no further than the Queen's Cottage! You're in for a real treat.

Excellent summer stay with everything you need

This house was perfect. The bedrooms were all comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with tons of amenities and appliances which allowed us to cook many meals throughout our stay. Everything was in nice and relatively new condition. Nothing was broken or falling apart (which can't always be said for houses down here). Privacy was perfect. The parking spaces in front of the house were clutch. Never had any noise issues from nearby inns or businesses. Walkable to everything that could be of interest. We hope we will be back!

Thanksgiving Getaway

The owner was fantastic in communicating every aspect of our trip: location, supplies in kitchen that I needed to cook a Thanksgiving dinner, linen rental arrangements, etc everything that we needed to have an incredible visit. The home was very clean, prepared, and supplied with many thoughtful needs. Coming to Cape May out-of-season was beautiful with all of the Christmas and winter decorations and activities! ( this home was decorated so beautifully, that many walking by took photos of it...) Would definitely recommend this house to families with adult and active members( lots of steps- we loved it!) but also, children that need to separate from parents for quiet- sleeping. Just a lovely place to visit at the holidays! Christine was super helpful from beginning to end!!

Beautiful house with an unbeatable location!

I recently spent a few days at this property, which is perfectly situated on a lovely street that is only one block to the beach and one block to the Washington Street Mall. Once I arrived and parked my car, I didn't use it again until my departure! The house had easy access with brand new keyless entry by a pin-code that was provided at check-in. The host offered a booklet with recommendations for restaurants, activities and other helpful resources that were appreciated during my stay. Everything in town is walkable: coffee shops, groceries, and amazingly fresh poke bowls near the beach. In the afternoon I was able to sit on the veranda and watch the horse drawn carriages go by every half hour or so. An absolutely charming vacation spot that I would absolutely book again!

Vacation at Cape May with Great Friends

Our stay was wonderful for many reasons! The house itself was a great Victorian historic home, but was renovated and upgraded with all the modern day amenities. The location of the home was perfect! In one direction, we were only a few blocks from the beach and in the other direction only a few blocks from the Washington street shopping area! All we had to do was park the car and walk to where ever we wanted to go and if you chose to venture to the lighthouse or breweries, you were only a short drive away! The house also had a wrap around porch, which we would sit in the evening with a drink and just take in the area and people watch. The home and the area are definitely on our list to return to in the future! I would highly recommend this home to anyone seeking rest, relaxation, shopping and a nice beach! All the essentials of great living! This was definitely a 5-Star stay experience! Greg P.

Perfect Stay at a Perfect Home!

My family and I spent a long Memorial Day weekend at Cape May with this stunning rental as our home base. Christine was very accommodating and communicative, allowing us extra time at the home as well. The house is spectacular, very clean, a perfect blend of old and new. Our large family had ample space to relax separately as well as together. We look forward to staying again at this property at one of our favorite places at the shore!
