Great, central location- a few blocks walk in either direction brings you to beautiful beaches and sunsets, village green/park area, bird sanctuary, lighthouse and Lake Lilly. Cape May Point is known for it's spectacular sunsets, spacious beaches and excellent viewing of birds and monarch butterflies. It is truly a nature lover's paradise.

Comfortable Quiet Cottage Near the Sea
We stayed six nights the week after Labor Day. The cottage was ideally located about a 3 minute walk to the uncrowded Cape May Point beach, and about a 4 minute walk to the lighthouse/Cape May State Park walking trails. It's a beautiful neighborhood for cycling and a short ride to the cafe and shops at Sunset Beach. The cottage has generous living room and dining room seating. The kitchen is well equipped. We appreciated the double sink in the upstairs bathroom and the comfortable queen bed in the primary bedroom. The outdoor enclosed shower was a welcome option when returning from the beach. Sarah our host, was friendly and responded immediately to the questions that we asked. I would book here again.

Magical Cambridge Cottage in Cape May Point!
The Cambridge Cottage has been our home away from home for multiple years now. It is our favorite place to stay, and we look forward to returning every year! Sarah is a wonderful and super responsive host. The Cottage is in an unbeatable location close to the beach, Lake Lily, and the Lighthouse! The Cottage has a wonderful outdoor space, and is super welcoming and comfortable. Plenty of space to spend nights together as a family. House is clean and tidy and stocked with books and games to enjoy. We look forward to many more years at the Cambridge Cottage!

Refreshing, Comfortable, and Clean Cottage for 3 Adults
Really liked the layout of the cottage as-well-as the long dining table where we played games. Beach umbrella came in handy on sunny days. Very close to the State Park and beach, and not too far from the town. Neighborhood is a nice area for a walk. Communication with Sarah was great!

Quiet and walkable to beach, lake
We came for the cape may bird migration fest and the Point is closer to where we were going to be. It’s nice and quiet, driveway parking, and minutes away from lake and beach. It’s a very cute place, very old and reminiscent of going to the shore with past generations when life was simpler. We found the beds to be uncomfortable and flimsy. Better beds with new mattresses would really improve the experience. I’d prefer not to have to bring my own sheets and towels but that’s just a personal preference. Driving to downtown is certainly easy enough but parking was difficult to find in the evenings.

Just what we needed
Cambridge Cottage is located in the heart of Cape May Point, easy walking distance to the beach, the lighthouse, and Lilly Lake. The property itself is very nicely designed for relaxation and conversation with a spacious living room, welcoming dining room, and upgraded kitchen. The owners were courteous, responsive, and even allowed my wife and I to stay extra time while I waited for a jump for my car battery. If you want a peaceful beach stay at Cape May, it would be hard to find a better spot.

Idyllic
We love the cottage; it is spacious and comfortable. In the morning, the sun streams into the living room creating a golden glow that provides a sense of peace and serenity. In the evening, the same room is bathed in the rosy sheen of a leisurely sunset exactly right for the enjoyment of a glass of wine or cocktail . The sizeable kitchen is equipped with all that you need to prepare breakfast, lunch, dinner or a midnight snack. The laundry room slash bathroom is conveniently located right off of the kitchen; it boasts a top of the line all in one washer dryer. The dining room comfortably seats six, the master bedroom is charming and cozy as is the second bedroom, and the third bedroom has bunkbeds that can accommodate small children and teens alike. The spacious yard has a large grill and picnic table exactly right for a pleasant evening cookout with friends and family. We love luxurious bathhouses like outdoor shower! We hope to make this our last hurrah of summer for years to come.

Great location
Overall, the property worked nicely for my family of 4 (including 2 adult children). However, the outdoor space was not very usable and, if we had more people, the one indoor shower would have been a problem. The Cape May Point beach was lovely!

Clean, small, well located
The host was very responsive and answered all our questions. The cottage was clean as a whistle. The kitchen had new and working appliances. The location is great - near Lilly Lake, the beach and in a quiet neighborhood. Our only quibble is with the advertisement of bedrooms - i.e. that it sleeps 6. The master bedroom with a Queen is fine for two people. The second bedroom is very small, with sloping roof which you have to watch out for, and a double bed, which is really difficult for two adults to sleep in. The bunk bed room is extremally small. So if you're coming with a number of people be forewarned. Otherwise a great place!

Wonderful cottage and location!
Sarah is a great host! Cambridge Cottage and surrounding yard were perfect for our stay in May. We found everything to be so comfortable, it began to feel like our second home! The cottage is light and airy, well-equipped, and in a wonderful location. We walked throughout the neighborhood to the lighthouse, Lily Lake, the beaches, and Cape May Bird Observatory. Cape May Point is also near Higbee Wildlife Management Area (including many nature trails), the Cape May-Lewes ferry, many fresh seafood options, and so much more. We are planning to return in the fall!

Host profile image
We are an active family that enjoys the beaches, biking, birding, nature and everything Cape May Point has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this cottage because it had been recently renovated, but still retained the charm of the original cottage. It was a place you could kick back and feel relaxed. We have tried to maintain the charm from the 1940s, such as its original windows, siding, wood flooring and antique door knobs.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful original charm throughout the home and a peaceful backyard where you can enjoy seeing the occasional bunny, turtle, or butterfly. The central location is also wonderful as you can walk anywhere in Cape May Point.
