Really nice first floor unit in a house on a really quiet street in Cape May. It's a nice central location - 10-15 min walk to Washington Street or the restaurants just over the bridge. And if you don't want to walk, the free bikes provided can get you there faster or easier. Street parking for vehicles is plentiful, and we never had an issue finding a spot over our week in late August. Recommend it!

Nice place with a cozy beach vibe. It does require a 1 mile walk or drive to the beach and most restaurants so be prepared for that.

Hi! Thanks for the review. The Washington Mall is about 1 mile from the house. The closest beach is about .7 miles and right next to Harry’s Bar and Grill on Maddison Ave. The Washington Inn, which is one of the most iconic restaurants in CM and Vintage are just blocks away. Everything, including the restaurants in the Marina district are within walking distance or a short bike ride. I guess it depends if you want to be downtown or sort of between the downtown and marina district. Thanks for staying!

We loved our stay in Gina's lovely house. We especially loved eating in the dining room looking out the wall of windows. The house was well furnished and very warm and comfy.

Perfect location for a quiet getaway!

Spent a lovely weekend at The Starboard. It was hard to get out of the amazingly comfortable bed, but when I did I found myself in the ideal location to walk everywhere I wanted to go in Cape May. Gina was great to work with, check-in was easy-peasy, and the accommodation was super cute. Treat yourself to a stay here!

This is a lovely house and the host Gina has made it very comfortable and well appointed. The location is fabulous. . It was easy to bike and bikes were there for our use. We strolled down to restaurants and biked to the beach. It was our first trip to Cape May and we have wonderful memories.

Cape May Getaway

A very comfortable house, convenient to everything we wanted to do — beaches, shopping, restaurants, and even a playground for our young child. A lovely tree-lined, shady street, reminiscent of Cape May’s golden days.
