About this apartment rental
** Brand new luxury bathroom plus laundry installed in the 2021/2022 off season! ** The Blue Whale (circa 1872) is centrally located just one block from the beach and is less than a 10-minute walk to Cape May’s Washington Street Mall. The amazing location makes enjoying the beach, grabbing a morning cup of coffee, or dining at one of Cape May’s restaurants all that more enjoyable of an experience. With a private rear deck that has amazing ocean views, you’ll love sipping cocktails or dining with family just outside the comfort of your living room. Condo #3 is the third-floor unit of the Blue Whale. Enter from the main front common entrance or from your private entrance at the back of the property. The Blue Whale was recently refreshed in the off season and boasts new paint and recessed lighting. The condo has a full kitchen that is open to the living area. When you’re not enjoying being out and about in Cape May or enjoying the outside weather from your large private deck with ocean views, the living room has a 65” TV with Hulu, Hulu Live, Netflix and a blazing fast mesh Wi-Fi. There are 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. The master and second bedroom have queen-sized beds as well as 42” TVs. The smaller third bedroom has twin bunk beds. There is also a queen-sized pullout couch in the living area. The mattresses are encased in protective coverings, and guests are required to bring blankets, bedding, and linens.

What a wonderful first time in Cape May! Great time, great location- highly recommend The Blue Whale. If you are staying off season- bring a few blankets. The house was fully stocked and all of our needs were met. We will definitely stay here again.

We had a pleasant stay at the blue whale. Short
walk to the beach and a short drive to Washington mall and excellent restaurants. The wrap around porch had comfortable seating and a porch swing. Perfect for relaxing after a day of sight seeing. Only drawback was finding parking. We had to park more than a block away a few times. All in all, a great vacation.

Stayed at this property many times this time was 3 bed top floor everything a family would need on a trip , and a short walk to beach ,bars and restaurants . Really you park and don’t have to drive anywhere it’s all walkable. Every year it seems there are upgrades new modern bath , portch etc etc Note top floor lotta steps but it is the third floor so you know it going in , host responds to questions promptly and is very accommodating would always look to stay here in cape may

Our first time in Cape May was amazing. You can see the water from the back porch and the place is a block from the water. It had everything we needed. Loved our stay.

This place was perfect. It’s on the 3rd floor which is a hike with all of our stuff and stuff for a toddler. But there’s private access in the back which was really really nice. Clean property and had everything we needed. It’s a block from the beach and we were able to go out and walk to the beach every morning. Also a nice feature is the stairs to the front of the condo had a gate which was awesome because of our baby. Andy was super easy to get ahold of and was really accommodating. We will 100% look to book this same place again.

My wife and I enjoyed 3 nights at the 3rd floor space of the Blue Whale. We arrived to a very clean, already air conditioned 3 bedroom apartment. We(I) had some initial issues with the lock feature to the upstairs apartment, but Andy (the owner) was very helpful in setting us straight.
The location was perfect, only a block and a half from the beach, and was centrally located to make for an easy walk to almost any of the Cape May restaurants and nightlife. We’d recommend this place to anyone, and hope to come back either late summer or early fall. Also, very reasonably priced.

Great first time in Cape May. Property listing should reference use of outdoor shower & hose which is a plus for after beach cleanup. Minimal pots/pans made it challenging to cook. Need just a few more pots & pans for the kitchen. Bathroom is impressive and the space was very clean, just enough space for our family of 4. Walking distance to everything, mini golf around the corner and Harry’s Grill just a 5 minute walk down Beach Ave. We hope to come back again soon!

I stayed at the Blue Whale 2 years ago and rebooked again this year when we decided to make a return trip to Cape May. The upgraded bathroom is super luxurious and the laundry addition is a huge plus. I wasn't aware of those 2 upgrades when we booked, so that was a huge plus. The location is perfect with everything walkable. Plus, the view of the ocean from the private back deck is perfect. After staying at a few different locations in Cape May, for being one of the more reasonably priced places to stay, this one deserves more than 5 stars.

Overall, the location and experience was just fine. Per requested, we brought our own sheets and pillow cases already skeptical about the integrity of the beds. Sure enough, 1 of us in the pink room walked away with BED BUGS! If there was a space in this to upload a photo, i would be happy to send the photo of my friends side. We have all had bed bugs before when traveled over seas so we are familiar to the experience.
Again, i thought the host communicated well and was accommodating towards our needs, however, really need to investigate the beds !

The location was perfect for those who wanted to go to the beach and perfect for those who wanted to go shopping. There were several nice restaurants within walking distance. The apartment was cute with a nice ocean view from the deck. Even when we were inside, we could hear the ocean. The accommodations suited our needs In the place was clean. Thank you.

My husband, sister and I stayed at this property for a long weekend. It was adequate for what we needed and had everything we could expect. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had all the necessities. The sofa/bed was not comfortable for watching TV. We liked the location. The property owner/manager was very helpful and gave us all the information prior to arriving. It was a positive experience.

Historic Cape May Victorian in an ideal location! Such easy access at checkin and Andy is a great host. It’s a 3rd floor unit, as noted, so be prepared for move in and out. Shower is a little tight if you have bigger people, but the unit is clean, gives everyone their own space, and has an ocean view from your back deck. Cannot beat the location - right near convention center, shopping, and Washington. Would definitely rent again! Thanks, Andy, for a great stay!

To the owner,
smoke alarm went off twice in the bunk room on the first night. Don't know why. Also, toaster worked the first morning but not the second.
Thank you for everything. It was a great place and check in so easy.

This was a great location and space for 4 people.
Great location, easy walking distance to everything. In the pics there was a small table in one of the bedrooms that was not actually there. We had some people trying to virtually work for a few hours and not having the table caused some space issues. However, everything else was good and we enjoyed our stay.

Andy was great to work with, allowed us an early check in which we truly appreciated & was very quick to respond whenever we needed him. The property itself is clean but very old & in need of many updates. Unit was great for 2 but would be very crowded for more. Loved our ocean view & the location. Thanks again to Andy!

Awesome Place to stay
The location is great ! Short walk to the mall for shopping . Can see the beach from the balcony. One block walk to the beach and walk to the boardwalk. Clean rooms where big enough and comfortable for our family. Will stay here again when we come down again.

Excellent Value
My group (3) enjoyed our stay at the Blue whale. We could have comfortably fit a couple of more people although 7 would be tight unless some were kids.
Location was awesome, block from the beach. On street parking but had no issues finding a spot and barely moving it as most things were walkable.
Unit was clean, air conditioners worked well. Kitchen had enough stuff to cook small meals.
Overall would definitely recommend.

Beach Views at The Blue Whale
My husband and I stayed with our 4 kids in condo 3 at The Blue Whale in August. It has a private deck with ocean views and is so close to the beach...less than a block away! It was clean, had comfy beds, and the Internet was perfect (this was important to us because we had to work from home a few days). The stores and restaurants are all in walking distance, and the beach is so close...a must with little kids! We will definitely book again soon!
