STUNNING VICTORIAN IN THE HEART OF CAPE MAY

SUMMER 2025 BOOKING NOW AVAILABLE

THIS IS AN ****ADULTS ONLY**** PROPERTY

Convenience and Elegance await you when you arrive at this GORGEOUS **ADULTS ONLY** VICTORIAN PROPERTY professionally decorated with exquisite period antiques and fresh flowers.
Built in 1880, this Cape May TWIN is located in the Center of the Historic District, and a block from the Washington Street Mall making the location WALKABLE TO EVERYTHING Cape May has to offer. And the beach is only a short four-block walk.

In addition, the AMAZING restoration and renovation of this historic 1880 property has been highlighted in a seven page article in CAPE MAY Magazine.

This 1880 unique gem boasts FOUR beautifully decorated Victorian bedrooms, and a spa-like bathroom with a shower on the second floor, a powder room on the first floor, and a private OUTDOOR ENCLOSED SHOWER with hot and cold water on the side of the house.
One of the great features of this house is the state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances and a wine cooler.
The home has a central A/C system for those warm summer days, and a gas fireplace for those chilly fall and winter evenings. Although professionally decorated with period Victorian furnishings, this house has all the MODERN conveniences of home.
The bedrooms of the house are on the small side as not to compromise the original integrity of the house when renovated, however, the bedrooms harbor a totally Victorian feel, and your stay is similar to the ambiance of the BEST Bed and Breakfasts that Cape May has to offer. THERE IS PRIVATE PARKING STEPS FROM THE BACKPORCH FOR THREE CARS SO YOU WILL ALWAYS BE HAVE PARKING DURING YOUR STAY. Should you want to visit areas outside Cape May City, walk out the back door and you will have access to your car should you need it.
For summer rentals, beach tags, six beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas and a beach cart are located on the premises. The front porch offers four rocking chairs for people-watching or relaxing with an afternoon glass of wine as the tour trolley goes by. The back porch offers porch ceiling fans, a wicker couch and two chairs with a table, and is steps away from the BBQ out back . There is a table with chairs and umbrella on the brick patio in the back of the spacious yard which is the perfect place for an evening BBQ.
All beds are made up of beautiful top quality bedspreads and sheets, awaiting your arrival. Bath towels and beach towels are also included for your stay along with extra pillows.
Cape May is known for its beautifully restored Victorian homes, top rated beaches and Zagat-reviewed restaurants and this Franklin Street home is the embodiment of all the best that Victorian Cape May has to offer. This property is as an ADULTS ONLY property with a maximum of SIX (6).

First Time in Cape May

We enjoyed our stay. Our host was very helpful. The house was close to the shops, restaurants, and a short walk from the beach. The house had everything needed for a fun time down at the Jersey Shore. We will visit Cape May again.

Our best stay in Cape May

This house is amazing! Trish has carefully curated a perfect home and perfect stay for you and your guests. The location is unbeatable -- right in the heart of historic Cape May. The house has tons of vintage charm, antiques, books about Cape May history, even fresh flowers -- and all with the modern conveniences of a new kitchen, baths, central air, and more. The house is immaculate and well stocked with lovely kitchen dishes, cutlery, and everything needed for eating, dining, hosting, and just hanging out. Trish is a very conscientious host and will make sure that you have everything you need for a comfortable and carefree stay. We will be returning!

Five Star Weekend

Absolutely loved this home! There was an amazing welcome basket, fresh flowers everywhere, and all of the amenities you would ever need! We really appreciated the beach tags, wagon, umbrellas and chairs! Those items usually take up most of our trunk, so we loved that these were provided. We also loved the location. We did have to login to work and had no problems with the wifi. Overall, five stars! Wonderful house & host!

adult family vacation

This is a gorgeous house, inside and out. The kitchen is fully stocked with nice things, not a hodgepodge of plates and silverware. In fact, I want to find the plates and buy some for myself. Our hostess left a large basket of snacks and a bottle of wine, starting the vacation in a lovely way. There are fresh flowers throughout the house, which is full of victorian style furnishings. It is ultra-convenitnt to the Washington St Mall area and the supermarket, and a few more blocks to the beach. EVERYTHING is included, including whatever is needed for beach visits (umbrellas, chairs, suntan lotion). Trish was an excellent communicator, and all went smoothly. I especially appreciated and NEEDED the three bedrooms that would accommodate the three couples in our group. We plan to book this house again next year!

An authentic Victorian Experience

Trish, the owner, was very responsive to our needs and requests. The house makes you feel like you have stepped back in time to the Victorian era. The owner has many Victorian pieces that creates the ambience. A narrow stairway to the second floor was challenge for a member of our party who had a problem with her leg. A modern kitchen and bathroom were well stocked and much appreciated. Trish goes above and beyond to ensure her visitors have what they need.

Great location

The location of this unit was ideal - within walking distance of shops and the beach without being in the middle of a loud or busy area. The porches were ideal for reading or gathering with friends. The inside of the home is pretty much as represented in the photos. I had hoped that it was not as dark as it looked, but it was very dark. I’m sure this was by design to preserve the Victorian vibe, but the living room was dark to the point of being a bit uncomfortable. The bedrooms were small but nicely decorated and comfortable. Communication with the owner was great, and we were welcomed with a sweet handwritten card upon arrival.

Best weekend ever!

A group of 7 girls, including myself, rented Trish’s adorable property a stone’s throw from the heart of Cape May. We had the absolute best weekend, and loved everything the home and area had to offer. From the Victorian style decor, to the modern kitchen and bathrooms, to the location walking distance from the beach, cute shops, and restaurants, this home is worth visiting and returning to! Trish provided beach passes, beach chairs, and umbrella and a beach wagon, which saved us so much room in our cars and money so we didn’t have to rent chairs or an umbrella. She also provided us with a comprehensive list of restaurants and things to do in Cape May. I’ll say it once more, we cannot wait to return!!

Beautiful home with Victorian charm - the perfect place to stay for our mini-moon. The owner really focuses on the details, from the fresh flowers and candles down to the little bowls of candy and vintage lamps. The home is walking distance to the beach, the Washington Street Mall, and so much more. We had a wonderful time, and will most definitely be back.

Excellent stay

Trish's house is a bona fide Victorian. A lot of care has put in to make the house feel authentic, yet comfortable. With all the nice period touches, the house also comes with a well equipped kitchen where we had a couple satisfying meals in our 3 night stay. The beach chairs and umbrellas are extra nice touches Trish provides. A wonderful pre-Memorial day experience.

Charming Home in the Heart of Cape May

This is a great rental. The owner was responsive and so very easy to work with. I was there with 5 of my friends. We didn't realize it was a duplex and you get one side of it. Even with 6 of us we never felt crowded. The beds are super comfortable and have the most soft and comfortable sheets I have ever had in a VRBO type rental. The kitchen is is remodeled and has everything you need. Location is fantastic. We walked to the beach/boardwalk, restaurants, grocery store and pedestrian shopping area. Would definitely rent again.

A magical Victorian Christmas!

I cannot say enough good things about our stay in Cape May! Trish was the most amazing owner we have ever met! Just staying in this beautiful home was wonderful enough, but Trish went above and beyond to welcome us and make us feel at home! The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas and she added so many extras so our every need would be met. From the bottle of wine to greet us when we arrived, candy on every bed, a beautiful floral arrangement for our Christmas dinner table, a supply of extra toiletries if we needed them and ironed sheets atop the most comfortable beds! She made it very hard for us to want to leave this beautiful place! I look forward to our next stay already!
