well maintained. Unlike other listings, this house sleeps 8-10 in
beds!:) when renting the 5 BR house (not on floor or sleeper sofas like most places. There are
no sofa beds nor is there extra floor space...but there are
5 bedrooms and beds for the amount of people allowed)
Cape May has it all - for all types. And all Fall, there are great
events, like Victorian Week, The Food and Wine Festival, Fall Jazz
Fest, etc. Of course, there are great beaches - Cape May has been
ranked one of the top beaches in the US - one of the nicest being
just up the street (it is about 300 yards. You will pass about 5 houses and one hotel on the way.
((the blocks are narrow because they run parallel to the beach, so you pass over 3 streets with only 2 houses or one hotel on each block))There is a nice boardwalk for
running, walking, shops and some
amusements and a theater across the street. The historic district is
4-6 block walk. Cape May is essentially an island escape. You can
walk or bike the entire small island. We park the car, and don't use
it again until we leave, because everything is so close to the house
and such great sights to see as you walk or bike. Of course we are
biased, but we think our house has the perfect location - it is
unique in that it is so close to everything, but on a quiet street
where you can park easily, and it is a quiet relaxing area of town.
