Lovely & Steps to Finest Beach. Center of Cape May. Multi-Car Private Driveway!

17 Jefferson St.: This beautiful 6 Bedroom and 3 Bathroom (4 in summer), Victorian era home is just 4 houses from Cape May’s finest family beach and a short walk to its best shops and restaurants. When not at the beach, you will be enjoying the home’s large porch with its seven rockers, full hammock, and big views of the ocean. The house sleeps up to 15 and has a driveway with off-street parking for 4-5 cars (!)

We bought the house in Spring 2010 and have invested heavily in renovations and new furniture to make this a superb rental - over $600,000 to date. Virtually every area of the house has been renewed, inside and out. In October 2023, we bought all new living room furniture, including new leather recliners (tasteful). During winter 2024, we rebuilt the front deck, replaced the master's windows, refinished nearly all the floors, and rebuilt the floor of the outside shower. Despite all the changes, our goal is always to keep the 1890 look and feel of the house.

At the same time, we've tried to make the house as comfortable for our guest as possible. The kitchen is well stocked. The game, puzzle, library is also well stocked. There are quality TVs (3), high-speed mesh wifi for streaming, blu-ray DVD players (with a nice library of DVDs) and cable package. There's a Bose bluetooth speaker in the living room and master for music. We keep lots beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys for all to use.

Guests will need to bring sheets, pillow cases, towels, and beach towels for their visit. There is a good linen service in town (Sea Dreams), if this is more convenient.


Our customers tell us they enjoy this holiday home's walkable location. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Cape May Beach. You'll find features such as laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the holiday home.

Our family LOVED this home. Highlights were the porch with all the rockers and the closeness to the beach. We have suffers so being able to set up and watch both our surfers and our boogie boarders was great.We have been coming to Cape May every two years during late July. If we can make it in 2027 getting that house again would be wonderful. However, Nana and Oompa are in their early 80s and the grandkids are graduating college so we don't know how many more years we can all gather. Thanks for sharing your home.

My family and I had a wonderful stay! The house is beautiful, updated, and clean with great amenities and decor. The porch rockers and hammock were perfect for relaxing. The location is right by the beach and fun restaurants/shopping. Check-in was a breeze and Blair was great with communication. Would definitely stay again! Highly recommend!

Cape May Christmas Parade Weekend

My family and I came down to Cape May this year for the tree lighting and Christmas parade and we could not have been happier with our stay here. The house was big enough to accommodate 9 adults and 4 small children and was simply beautiful inside. Very tasteful and clean, I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed staying here!

Perfect Fall Getaway

We have been going to Cape May for over 30 years and love to visit during different season. Our daughter was married in Cape May last year, and my in-laws from California had such a great time, that we met again in Cape May this November. This was the perfect house for my family of seven. The porch was wonderful, and the house had everything we needed. There were plenty of rooms (bedrooms and bathrooms), lots of board games, proximity to the beach for morning walks, sunsets, and shell collecting, and a very easy walk to Washington Street stores.We also got lucky with beautiful weather! Finally, Blair was super responsive and timely with responses. We got to Cape May about an hour early and were able to immediately check in. We also were able to stay until noon when checking out. Lucky us! I would totally visit again. Maybe in the summer next time….

Amazing home

We had a wonderful stay with our children and grandchildren in this beautiful vacation home. It’s just steps to the beach and we were able to easily walk to Washington Mall for shopping and restaurants. We spent every night sitting on the rockers on the front porch. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen is fully stocked. I would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful home and great location

We had a wonderful family vacation in this beautiful home with our children and grandchildren. It is in a perfect location to walk to the beach or into town. The front porch and rockers were used daily. The owner was quick to respond to any questions or provide information. I highly recommend staying at this home.

OUTSTANDING!

17 Jefferson is perfect on every level. The owner has maintained the property with meticulous detail! The house is bright, cheerful and filled with natural light and spotlessly clean. As soon as you walk in the front door, it is evident that the owners take great pride in their home. The location can not be beat... 1/2 block to the beach. You can see the ocean from the front porch. We never used our car during our week stay. We easily walked every evening to dinner and Washington mall. The house comes with everything that we needed... kitchen was VERY well stocked, plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas, lots of puzzles, games, books, DVDs. A highlight was the front porch with enough rockers for all of the adults (8 of us) and a hammock. Game changers for us were the ample parking in the driveway- we were able to fit 4 Large cars - and the wonderful outdoor shower! The owner was EXTREMELY attentive to my questions and any need, responding very quickly and so very eager to make sure that our stay was the absolute best -- and it was! This was our second visit to this beautiful home... and our family decided to now make it a yearly family tradition- bringing us all together in Cape May at 17 Jefferson!

Wonderful house soo close to beach and bars!

We had a wonderful experience working with the owner! Blair was extremely flexible and responsive before, during, and after our stay. The house was beautiful - perfect for a mixed group of 22-55 year old women to stay for an off-season beach getaway! The beach was very close, and we were within a 10ish minute walk to all the bars and restaurants! Also, the owner was thoughtful about little things - for example, NJ doesn’t have bags at the grocery stores and the house had a bunch of re-usable ones we could take with us when shopping. Overall, we had a great experience. Thanks so much!!

Beautiful and cozy

We had a great stay. The house was beautiful and clean and was a short walk to Washington street. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes we needed and we had plenty of space for a large group to eat together and hang out in the living room. The house has a warm cozy feeling and wasn’t drafty for our December trip. Would love to stay here again!
