About this property

Salty Dog Beach House in Cape May's Historic District

This 1950’s beach cottage located on the edge of the historic district has been lovingly restored. The Salty Dog Beach House is centrally located near the corner of Jefferson and Columbia making it close to the beach, Washington Street Mall and all that Cape May has to offer. Park your car in the driveway and walk to restaurants, shopping, theaters, tours, and the Washington Street Mall. Parking can be difficult in Cape May and this house is unique as it has parking for two cars off street in the driveway.
In the evening, enjoy a fire pit in the backyard or the sounds of the horse drawn carriages pass by as you relax in the open concept kitchen/living room, while you send the kids to the basement to enjoy the home theatre. The cottage has three bedrooms upstairs and a pull out sofa on the lower level. There is a full bath upstairs and there is a half bath downstairs and an outside shower. Linens are INCLUDED at the Salty Dog, sheets, bath towels and beach towels with the turnover service. The Salty Dog offers a beach box for you to leave your beach items in at the end of your beach day. There are numerous beach chairs and a couple of beach umbrellas left for you to use during your stay (Available Memorial Day through Sept 17th). And finally, salty air comes natural with the Salty Dog Beach House. Come and visit!

Nice place in a good location

Nice house, clean and good location, nice backyard, close to downtown and beach. Appreciated the clean towels and linens. Rob was helpful and responsive. Maybe only recommendation is to add a grill for outdoor cooking? but we visited in April, so maybe it's a seasonal thing. Overall would stay here again, thanks!

Salty Dog is PHENOMENAL!!!

Everything about the property was well furnished with top-end products (furniture, beds, kitchen/eating utensils, bath towels, you name it). And, having on-site parking was extremely helpful. It's a relatively short walk to the beach and the mall. My wife and I couldn't have been more delighted with our stay at the Salty Dog!

Wonderful location and home!

My family and I were in town for my son’s Coast Guard boot camp graduation. Everything with the home and our interactions were flawless! We cannot wait to visit Cape May again and hopefully stay in the same place! The owner was wonderful and communication was great!

Spotless, relaxing, spa-like house hideaway

Our plan was to enjoy time together, relax, and enjoy Cape May - walks to the beach, lunch at Congress Hall, browsing shops, visiting a winery. We wanted our "down time" to be shared, and so renting a house rather than hotel rooms was important. A perfect location, this was a beautiful home, well-managed and outfitted with all that is needed, including spa-quality shampoos and soaps, paper towels, and cleaning sprays. The linens were spotless, and the pillows, which are often problematic at rentals, were clean. The beds were a comfortable firmness. The kitchen had all the appliances you need to cook a big meal, or simply enjoy a Continental breakfast or wine and cheese over conversation. The tech was reliable, TV's easy to program (we used Roku). We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would stay there again.

October Getaway

Stayed for a few days with our young children. My daughter really loved the bunk beds. The downstairs room was nice for them to go play in. We really appreciated the clean sheets on the beds and fresh towels; was so nice to not have to pack them both.

We had a fantastic time staying here. The property was clean and the beds were comfortable. The owner even went out of his way to ensure we had some beach chairs available for a surprisingly warm weekend during the offseason.

Charming Shore House

We loved our stay at this charming shore house! It is a warm inviting home that was tastefully decorated. The bed was comfortable as well. The furniture was very nice and the nick nacks were cute. The downstairs was beautifully decorated and comfortable as well. It was great to have access to a washer and dryer. A real plus was that the street and neighbor were quiet and in very close proximity to the beach and the center of town with shops and restaurants! I can't say enough good things about our stay at The Salty Dog Beach House!!!

Lovely stay

The Salty Dog Beach House is a great property. It was well stocked with everything you need and located nicely between the town and beach. We brought a wagon to assist with our beach gear, but there was a beach box filled with chairs and an umbrella if needed. We would stay here again!

Pleasant Getaway

This home was nicely furnished and well stocked with a spacious kitchen area. We appreciated not having to rent linens as for most weekly rentals in Cape May, and beach tags and beach equipment was provided. Spotlessly clean and great location within easy walking distance of the beach as well as the Washington Street Mall and other local amenities. As a family of 4, there was a lot of space and the house worked out well for us - I would just comment that the stated capacity of 8 would probably be a bit tight unless most of the 8 were children (just as a heads up for future renters). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Salty Dog!

Spring getaway!

We loved staying here! The house was everything our family of 4 needed. Our 5 year old loved the bunk beds, my wife was glad to have an extra room for kids clothes and our 11 week olds “things”. Rob was a great host and even found us an open arcade that made my daughter’s trip! We will be back.. if we there’s an open booking!
