806 Benton Avenue

Have rented 5 different home in Cape May over the years...this one truly stands out as the very best. This historic home has all the charm and accommodations that you look for in a "beach house". Only 3 easy walking blocks from the beach. The house is not your typical "air bnb" with sterile wall art and furnishings....NO this house is the real deal...furnishings that are unique in each room with plenty of seating for a large group. The upstairs bedrooms are generous in size and its "cool" the way you access the Upper Deck...one entrance thru a bedroom and the other thru a bathroom. Sounds strange but you have to see how great this whole second floor and deck is laid out. My family from Germany really loved it! This kitchen comes with everything you need to cook anything you like. By this I mean it has more pots and pans, coffee makes, mixers, kitchen gadgets that most friends I know. House has 2 zone air which is great to balance temps upstairs. Garage has chairs for the beach as well as boogie boards. Outdoor shower is generous in size and private. Original owner was the well-known beach rental company (a "fixture" in Cape May) Steger....house is decorated with his memorabilia. All-in-all well worth the rental fee. And it didn't hurt that that we had 7 days for full sun and the water temp was 75 and the waves were great...great week!

This house is truly lovely, and a fabulous location for both the beach and town/shops/restaurants. 3 block walk to the beach was perfect, and we never had to get in the car to go to the restaurants we wanted. The house is quirky cute, you can see the add-one and upgrades that have been added over the years. Clean and well maintained.The bedrooms are as you see them. Downstairs has an en suite bathroom. Upstairs has two hall baths, one fully upgraded, the other with a tub. Another downstairs bathroom is a bit tight. Upstairs deck was perfect, but access is through one of the bedrooms or one of the bathrooms. A bit odd, but we managed. The deck is where you spend most of your social time. Backyard is tiny, but outside shower is nice.Garage is handy for storing bikes, chairs, etc. A bit of an ant problem in the kitchen was the only negative, but keep your stuff wrapped and all good. I would highly recommend for a family getaway
