Cape May Cottage Rentals

I wanted to go explore the historic city of Cape May, N.J. People travel from all over to tour the picturesque, tree-lined streets, perfectly landscaped gardens, and the multitude of Victorian buildings. Did you know Cape May boasts the second largest concentration of Victorian houses, behind San Francisco? It’s true.  It’s also been designated a National Historic Landmark city in order to preserve the gingerbread architecture that defines the city and draws in tourists. It’s really very special and quaint.

When it came time for me to select a rental to stay in I had to listen to my heart and chose one of the Cape May Cottage Rentals. Victorian houses are large and it was just me so a cozy cottage felt just right.

After strolling through town and admiring the beauty of the area, I spent the first day at Higbee Beach. This is one of the most popular beaches in Cape May due to its wide expanse of soft, white sand and generally gentle surf. But it wasn’t all that crowded on the weekday that I was there.

There is a long pier off the beach that is perfect for a casual stroll out towards the ocean or for just sightseeing. I spent at least an hour just watching the fishermen casting their lines out into the ocean. Other good beaches in the area include Windsor Avenue Beach, Grant Avenue Beach, and Broadway Beach.

I’ll be returning to Cape May again soon and I’m hoping to be able to stay in the same type of Cape May Cottage Rentals as I did this time.
