About this property

The Majestic Star – 705 Columbia Ave

10% of proceeds will go to grade school educational programs for communities impacted by Covid-19 in Rwanda.

Located in the heart of Cape May’s historical district three blocks from town and two blocks from one of the most pristine beaches on the Northeast coast, the Majestic Star is an expansive home perfectly positioned to experience one of the most unique towns in America. The short walk along picturesque Columbia Avenue to the downtown restaurant scene, boutique shops, live music venues and more will take you by some of the best preserved Gothic Revival Victorian architecture in the country built with features modeled after the great churches of Europe. Our home was built in 1870 and past owners include one of the original publishing families in the country, yet the interior has a decidedly modern beach feel. From either the open air porch or glass screened in area watch the horse-drawn carriage tours walk past or take a look across the way at the beautiful Chalfonte Hotel as they host weddings.

Please note our property has just one reserved parking spot, we have unmetered spaces along our street Columbia but during peak days (Fri/Sat May-Sep) additional spaces could be 1-3 blocks away. The good news is with our location close to town and the beach you won’t need your car much! Early check in for weekend stays Sep-May is generally available to help with parking as well.

We provide all bed and bath linens, something we are continually surprised is not standard in Cape May. For the interior, one of our bedrooms is part of a rear attached cottage which is a perfect place for two guests to have a bit more privacy and also their own kitchen. Other interior highlights include a sun room located off our first floor bedroom with its own daybed and reading chair, a large dining room, and a well-stocked board game collection of our favorites. Outside our outdoor grill and fire pit are perfect for summer night cookouts. We look forward to hosting you!

All You Need is This Porch in Cape May!

As the saying goes, all you need is a porch in Cape May and this one is one of the best! Having stayed all over Cape May over the last 20 years we were beyond impressed with the hospitality and beauty offered by the team at Majestic Star. Having the linens included was a huge bonus. The house is beautiful, everything was as described. For our large group of different families the bedroom layout was perfect. Of note, there are two rooms (king near front of house on first floor) and second floor king that have attached rooms with either space for a pack and play or an actual twin bed--great set up for families with young ones! Thanks again Jake, we look forward to many more years in the Majestic Star!

Magical Reunion

The house and the location are perfect. We spent lots of the time in the living room as it is very comfortable (our weather wasn't great the first few days). The owner is the best host ever- I have rented before from VRBO and Jake surpasses them all the hosts I have. He is very responsive and seems like a great guy. I highly recommend the Majestic Star!

Wonderful week

We had a family vacation consisting of our blended family. We had 12 adults and 7 children and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to be. The house was absolutely perfect. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out. And the amazing porch where we drank our coffee every morning and finished with cocktails every night was the highlight of our week. We were able to walk to the beach where we watched the dolphins all day. And walk to Washington Street Mall to shop, eat & hang. I didn’t move my car all week. The owners were very responsive when needed for a few minor things. This was the best place I’ve ever stayed.

Glorious Weekend

I could not have chosen a better location and place for our family to enjoy a magical weekend in Cape May. Close to everything. Would highly recommend it. Looking froward to making a return trip.

About the host

Hosted by Jake Pashelinsky

My wife's family has been coming down to Cape May for over 60 years and it has been our escape from the city every weekend from May to October since we met. It has been a dream of ours to enter the hospitality business and we couldn't be more excited to start. We are looking for guests who want to come year after year and would very much like feedback on your experience!

Why they chose this property

Columbia Ave is our absolute favorite block in Cape May. It has a unique stretch of old beautiful homes and a lively energy on the weekends with the horse drawn carriages and nearby weddings. With our house you get the best of both worlds in a charming old house but with lot's of recent interior renovation work. The location is just a short walk from nearly everywhere you will want to go in Cape May, can leave the car keys in the house.
