Seaside Beach Escape, Cape May, Walk one Block to Beach! light/bright/comfy
Wake up each morning refreshed from the sea air. Take an e-z stroll to the beach to warm your toes in the sand. Eat breakfast on the sun porch and snooze in the rocker. Spend the afternoon in the large sunny living room relaxing or playing games. Grill some local fish or steaks and enjoy dining in or visit many of the local restaurants. And guess what, turn in for the night in your cozy bedroom and enjoy 6 more days just like the first!

A great stay!
We are a family of 5 and we travel from California to Cape May every summer to visit family. For the past two years we have stayed at this house and everything has been fantastic. Sally the owner is great to work with. She’s easygoing and communicative. Her home is sparkling clean. In fact, it’s so clean that my sisters who own rental condos down the street had me ask Sally who cleans her place because they were so impressed with the cleanliness of her home. Additionally, the home has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including beach chairs, umbrellas and more. The location is wonderful as it offers a short and easy walk to the beach. Our last two stays have been so nice that we just booked the house again for 2024!

Our family rented both levels of this lovely home for our annual family vacation to Cape May! We were not disappointed! The house provided a great homebase for our family. It was so close to the beach and was a quick walk or bike ride to other Cape May “must dos”! There was plenty of room for our family to spend time together but also an opportunity to have some space if needed!! We plan on renting this home again!! We highly recommend!!

We rented both levels of this lovely home. First impression…super clean, completely stocked kitchen and a wonderfully eclectic, homey and comfortable decor. Sally is top notch. Responds quickly to any need … how to turn on a bathroom faucet to a locking the key in the house. House location is perfect. Block from the beach and we walked into town. We had our children and grandchildren with us and thanks to Sally’s hospitality, we made fantastic summer memories in 2023! I highly recommend booking this home.

We rented both apartments from Sally for our annual Cape May family vacation. Sally’s home was very comfortable for our family of ten adults. Both apartments were exceptionally clean and well stocked with beach chairs and kitchen necessities. The outside shower was updated, clean and an added plus. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the beautiful second floor deck and were grateful for the short walk to and from the beach each day. Sally was a perfect host and very responsive to any questions I had prior to and during our trip. Published: August 16, 2023
The perfect vacation rental Stayed 09/03/2023 Patricia Chadderdon Cogan Station
The Seaside Beach Escape is just that! Our family rented the entire house. It has plenty of comfortable seating areas to stretch out and relax. We loved the enclosed porch area. The top deck is wonderful too and has a great few with plenty of seating. The house is beautifully decorated with unique furniture and wall hangings that we enjoyed. The bathrooms are modern with 4 indoors and the lovely outdoor shower that was so helpful in keeping the sand outdoors! The extra attention to making the stay comfortable included soaps and bathroom spray, extra toilet paper and plenty of cleaning supplies. We also liked the choice of Keurig or Mr. Coffee type brewers. And one block to the ocean!!! This worked with coming and going the quick jaunt to the house. Beach passes are included with the rental. There also is plenty of kitchen counter space. Communication is perfect too. Thanks to all of these details we had a very enjoyable vacation and this will be our first choice.

In Cape May for a wedding so decided to make it a week’s vacation. Loved that it was a Sunday to Sunday rental for this purpose. We rented both units which gave us the extra space needed. Close to the beach for little and old ones. House was clean and well stocked. Owner was very attentive.

Lovely Home Stayed 10/02/2022 Tom Atkins Bucks County, PA
We recently spent a week in Cape May and stayed in this lovely home. The location is great – very short walk to the beach and less than a ten minute walk to the business district. The home is well appointed and it was very clean. The owner, Sally, was very helpful and accommodating.

Comfy and cozy Stayed 09/11/2022 Linda Sperratore Monroeville, NJ
Super charming, super clean. A must in today’s rentals..Rooms nicely sized. Having 2 full bathrooms plus outside shower made life easy. Kitchen well equipped with extra coffee pot for K Cup lovers. Deck was great for sunbathing or star gazing. Sally is a hands on owner, focused on tenants needs and comforts.. Can’t wait to come again to make more memories for my rocking chair days. LOL
Great Week! Date: August-18-2022
Our family enjoyed a wonderful week in the second floor of this charming house. Clean and neat. Rooms were quaint and newly renovated kitchen was perfect for our needs. We loved spending time on the deck listening to the ocean in the early mornings and taking in the beautiful sunsets. It was so convenient to have the beach only 1 1/2 blocks away and the use of the outdoor shower was very helpful. We would highly recommend this unit and the lovely location. ..Jane and Dan Buchanan
Great house to rent Stayed 07/24/2022 from Joy Philadelphia
This house is great! It’s clean, spacious and a fantastic location. We used both upstairs and downstairs for our family-8 adults not children and 1 dog. It’s 1 block from the beach and walking distance to everything. We love it and highly recommend it.

Wonderful spot, Dana Blue Ball, PA 06/19/2022 Every other year our children and spouses go to Cape May. We have had to change house sizes as our family has grown. This was spacious and very clean, we had a wonderful time and would recommend this home! Sally was quick to answer any and all of my questions. Thank you for another year of memories.
Charming seaside, Sue Allentown, PA 06/12/2022
We had a wonderful time in this charming, well kept cottage at an amazing location in Cape May! Sally is an excellent hostess. She is nearby if you have any questions or issues and very responsive. Quiet end of the beach and Easy access to all shopping and restaurants. Many special memories on our trip! Thank you Sally!
Great Cape May House, Annette Myarick Elkins Park, PA 04/08/2022We had a great time in this lovely Cape May home! We rented both units for our annual women’s gathering and we were very comfortable! This home is well stocked and comfortable! Thanks Sally! We hope to be back!
Adorable, great location, and Perfect choice for my family! 10/29/21
This was a perfect find for our vacation rental! A gem among so many choices in Cape May. But Sally’s house was so nice. It was spacious, homey, comfortable, so clean, and had great amenities!! The kitchen was wonderful. Properly and extensively stocked … she had everything we needed and would want. Loved the gas range!! Washer and dryer were great and convenient. The bathrooms were AWESOME!! The upgrades are beautiful. My family had a great time and really appreciated that we were able to rent such a lovely home. We took very good care of Sally’s home and would love to visit again some day. Staying here at 116 Reading Ave made our trip to Cape May just perfect!! Thanks Sally!! Sarah Lynn Asbill
Wonderful time in Cape May 10/15/21
This was our second stay at Sally’s place. We reserved the upstairs last time and had the lower level this time. We had a wonderful stay. The sunroom on the front of the house is a great bonus. Great spot for coffee in the morning. The house is in a great location, one block to the beach. It was also great in the lower level to have access to a washer and dryer. The house is clean and tidy. The living room is spacious and comfortable. A great affordable place to stay with an attentive host. It’s always hard to leave Cape May! David
Fantastic Weekend with Friends 10/7/21
We rented both units to accommodate 14 friends and family members (both kids and adults). We spent most of our time downstairs and it was still very spacious with everyone together. The house was beautiful and felt like we were at home. It was fully equipped and had everything we needed. We walked to the beach and downtown to Washington Mall very easily. Sally was a great host and the neighbors were very friendly as well! Carly Krystopik
Fantastic beach house in a great location! 7/7/21
We stayed in the first floor unit and the house was perfect for our group. The location is fantastic – just one block from the beach, and a short walk to downtown. The house had everything we needed, including beach tags and chairs. The house is located in a quiet, relaxing neighborhood surrounded by other lovely homes. We had a fantastic time. Sally was accommodating and responsive and helped make our last-minute trip a success. We will definitely be coming back and staying at the house again. I can’t recommend the property enough! Meghan
