Lovely & Steps to Finest Beach. Center of Cape May. Multi-Car Private Driveway!

17 Jefferson St.: This beautiful 6 Bedroom and 3 Bathroom (4 in summer), Victorian era home is just 4 houses from Cape May’s finest family beach and a short walk to its best shops and restaurants. When not at the beach, you will be enjoying the home’s large porch with its seven rockers, full hammock, and big views of the ocean. The house sleeps up to 15 and has a driveway with off-street parking for 4-5 cars (!)

We bought the house in Spring 2010 and have invested heavily in renovations and new furniture to make this a superb rental - over $600,000 to date. Virtually every area of the house has been renewed, inside and out. In October 2023, we bought all new living room furniture, including new leather recliners (tasteful). During winter 2024, we rebuilt the front deck, replaced the master's windows, refinished nearly all the floors, and rebuilt the floor of the outside shower. Despite all the changes, our goal is always to keep the 1890 look and feel of the house.

At the same time, we've tried to make the house as comfortable for our guest as possible. The kitchen is well stocked. The game, puzzle, library is also well stocked. There are quality TVs (3), high-speed mesh wifi for streaming, blu-ray DVD players (with a nice library of DVDs) and cable package. There's a Bose bluetooth speaker in the living room and master for music. We keep lots beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys for all to use.

Guests will need to bring sheets, pillow cases, towels, and beach towels for their visit. There is a good linen service in town (Sea Dreams), if this is more convenient.


Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

This house is gorgeous. You can tell the owners love this house. There was nothing lacking. The location - 1/2 block off the beach was perfect. We could walk to eateries, coffee shops and the center of the historic village. The house was very clean and everything we needed was there plus some. Blair was easy to reach and great to have as a vacation partner! Check in was simple. Sitting in the rocking chairs in the evening was the perfect way to end the day. We hope to return many times.

We were a party of ten, in Cape May for a family wedding. The house is beautiful, fitted us comfortably and has everything we needed - and it really is less than five minutes from the stunning beach. There are lots of places to eat well within walking distance but I loved the charming Washington Street Mall, an absolute delight. There’s so much we didn’t have time to do in our week’s holiday we’ll just have to come back !

Amazing stay at an incredible property rich in history and memories. My kids said multiple times that they felt they were in a scene from a Christmas romcom. The stay could not have been better - we even braved cooking Thanksgiving dinner ina kitchen not our own - and I must say, everything came out splendid! Thanks for being great hosts and sharing your lovely home in our memories.

Wonderful home to stay in, great location just a few houses away from the ocean! Lots of stairs, so it may not work for every group, but for our group of 10 people it was wonderful. Great kitchen, very well designed and equipped, beautiful historical touches left in place throughout the home. Front porch was our very favorite spot, plenty of chairs, great afternoon sunlight. Fantastic!

The house was a great place for our family. The kitchen was well supplied while the house kept the Victorian feel. Being so close to the beach is a bonus. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and being able to hear the ocean.

Cannot beat the location, house was steps from the beach and well stocked with beach toys and equipment. We loved the front porch with plenty of seating for the entire family to enjoy the sounds of the ocean. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out throughout the house.
