About this property

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 full-sized bed and a twin-sized bed. There is also a queen-sized pullout couch in the living area.

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.

Adequate

Pros: location, porch view, bathroom and refrigerator very clean, nice updated bathroom Cons: grungy coffee pot & sink sponge, bead spread had dried blood stains, get rid of rug in MBR - tripping hazard, windows do not open. FYI: Lace curtain in closet is on the floor on the heating unit - potential fire hazard.

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.

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.

Great time

We would definitely stay at this property again, if Available. It was as it was described by the host.Beds were comfortable. It was the perfect size for what we Needed. The biggest concern is cleanliness and it Definitely was!! We also enjoyed the back deck. We actually lucked out with beautiful weather. The on-street parking worked out well. Thank You so much for a wonderful stay!
