About this property

Bright and cheerful! Windows surround this historic Cape May retreat!

Relax in this historic Cape May retreat on iconic tree-lined Washinton St. on a large sunlit enclosed porch with wall-to-wall windows watching vacationers and locals stroll by. Enjoy a meal with friends at the dining table or a cup of coffee at the breakfast bar looking out through the equally sunlit kitchen windows. Walls of windows brighten the large family room with nautical decor and comfy sofa with a pull-out queen bed. The retreat comes ready with sheets and Turkish towels. Two full baths, recently renovated, have large walk-in showers. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom for convenience and privacy. Located just 3 blocks from the Washington Inn and other signature Cape May eats! Washington Street Mall is located just 5 short blocks away where you can shop, dine, or enjoy a cocktail in the Brown Room at Congress Hall. Looking for adventure, grab a house bike and a beach towel and head to Madison Ave Beach, less than one mile away! Sit and relax the day away or head to Grant Street beach or the Cove to catch some waves! Had enough of the beach? Grab your tennis racket and check out the Physick Estate, or call the Cape May Free ride to visit one of Cape May’s amazing winery’s. If you like to fish, you’re in the right spot with local charters or take a booze cruise on the Tiny Tiki out of South Jersey Marina! In Cape May, you can do nothing at all, but there will never be nothing to do!

About the host

Hosted by Gina Milner

Host profile image
I’m Gina and my husband is Andy, we both grew up coming to the Jersey Shore and visiting Cape May. We met in college and fell in love on an off shore fishing trip! Fishing was always Andy’s passion and I never left the beach, but one day despite a treacherous journey miles off shore the ocean quieted and I fell in love, with him, and a view of the ocean I had never experienced. We own a boat and dock it at the gorgeous Cape May Marina and in January of 2022, after years of searching, we finally bought our little sliver of the island on Washington Street. If you can’t find us surfing at the COVE, or eating at The C-VIEW, we’ve gone fishing!

Why they chose this property

Cape May is the oldest shore town in the US. A fishing town that managed to marry its fresh catch with some outstanding chefs, including the only Michelin Star Chef in New Jersey. Gorgeous beaches line the coast and history abounds! Washington Street in particular is quintessential Cape May! The street is lined with colorful Victorian homes including this property which is a contributing historic structure built in the 1800’s. Washington Street is a great street to people watch, where you feel like you are part of the action without having to leave the property!

What makes this property unique

Historic Victorian in the heart of Downtown Cape May.
