About this cottage rental

Located in Cape May, this lovely cottage for $260 per night is a great option for your next vacation. BRAND NEW TO VRBO! SUMMER 2021 UPDATE: KITCHEN, LIVING AREA, AND BATHROOM ARE COMPLETELY RENOVATED! INSIDE PICTURES ARE EITHER FROM LAST YEAR OR CONTRACTOR RENDERINGS WHILE THE COTTAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The Blue Whale Cottage (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. The Cottage is a separate building located behind the main house and includes ocean views from the living room window. The recently updated kitchen has brand new cabinets, appliances, granite countertops, and built-in breakfast bar overlooking the living room. When you’re not busy enjoying downtown Cape May, relax in your recently refinished living room boasting a 65” TV with Hulu, Hulu Live, Netflix and a blazing fast mesh Wi-Fi. The Cottage has two bedrooms and one recently renovated bathroom. The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and 42” TV while the middle bedroom has twin sized bunk beds. There is also a queen-sized sofa bed in the living room. The renovated bathroom includes a beautifully tile finished bathtub/shower. The mattresses are encased in protective coverings, and guests are required to bring blankets, bedding, and linens.

Everything about this place was perfect. The location to the beach and shops is very convenient. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed to cook a family meal when we did not feel like venturing out. Would definitely book again if the chance arises.

It worked for us, a family of four with a teen and a preteen. The location was excellent, in spite of the cottage being located in the back of a lot surrounded by other buildings. It was very nicely renovated, kitchen, bathroom, big TVs. The space is very small. The 2nd bedroom with bunk beds is the size of a walk-in closet. The main bedroom is a little tight and the washer and dryer are located there. But for a budget stay in a great beach town, close to everything you'd want to do and see, this works.

We’ve been going to Cape May annually as a family for 5 years. We’ve tried places all together and as we’ve grown, separate spots to accommodate the kids schedules. This looked affordable and well located. It turned out we’d need to stay in the same room as our toddler (not ideal but do-able). End of season, but rugs and furniture were especially dirty. The real kicker however was simply lack of maintenance (awareness?) - a floor level electrical plug hung out of the wall and all three air conditioners had significant mold (and tissues for insulation). We couldn’t even run the AC the first night/ next day as a result. They were replaced the next afternoon (and old rusted out unit left right outside the cottage) but damage was done. Left a night early due to a storm so two of our five days were a bit of a bust. Cottage is located at the end of a walkway that flooded and past the garbage storage for all the other units in the main house. Just not worth what we paid.

Totally updated and very clean super cute cottage with deck. gas stove, microwave dishwasher, washer and dryer. Perfect for 2 or 3 adults, a little tight for any more people. Perfect location close walk to beach and Washington mall. Will rent again.

Beautiful little cottage, full kitchen etc. close to beach…. Just fyi for people with disabilities- the only access is up the outside stairs. Must park on street- which was a challenge the first day. Cape May is a popular place! It was beautiful though. I would stay at the Cottage again!!!!

My husband and I spent a few days in Cape May for the fall bird migration and this cozy cottage met our needs beautifully. We loved that it was only a block from the beach making it easy to get up to watch the sunrise over the ocean.

Great cottage by the beach

Great cottage by the beach

I was attending a workshop nearby and wanted a place where my family could feel at home while I was not with them, but still wanted to be close and had a specific budget. This place was charming, located close to the beach and all kinds of other attractions, and felt cozy. My son loved the bunk bed! Communication with the property owner was great, I couldn't have asked for a better experience in Cape May!

We enjoyed our stay. The location is pristine, being that it's a short walk to downtown and all major attractions in the area. Parking wasn't a problem, but I could see how during the season it could be. There is nothing serious about the property that would change my mind to settle anything less than a 5-star rating. Although some of the repairs the contractor did were a little careless, that's not the point. This property is IDEAL for small families for a nice get-away to Cape May, and Andrew was the best host.

renovations are very nice

renovations are very nice

This property met our needs as a family of 3, with our son being a sound sleeper. The two bedrooms seem very old, and you have to walk through the bedroom with bunk beds (which is extremely small) to get to the master bedroom from the living area. So, if you do not have sound sleepers, this is not exactly convenient. The renovated areas are very nice, and it's a very short walk to the beach and restaurants/shops, which is very convenient. The outside shower did not work while we were there, which was a bummer but not a huge deal since there was a hose to rinse off. Andy was very responsive to our questions.
