509 Pearl Avenue Unit C

Perfect cottage for a Cape May Point getaway

"We had a great stay in the cottage at 509 Pearl St. First, we appreciated the fact that the owner was very accommodating. The cottage sits behind a main house on Pearl St in Cape May Point just across the street from the Pearl St beach access. It is a PERFECT location. Incidentally, the beach that you access from Pearl St is the nicest in my opinion and is one of the least crowded in Cape May. The cottage is also only 3 short blocks from the Red Store, which is a great place for coffee and baked goods and in non COVID times serves up great meals. Overall this is a lovely, cozy, and quaint cottage. One really nice feature is the private/enclosed back yard and deck, which has a table for dining. There is bar seating in the kitchen, but not an indoor dining table so we enjoyed many of our meals in the back yard. Also, there is a separate "shed" in the back yard that has a shower and washer/dryer. The home is best for for 4 people (2 couples or couple and 2 kids), 5 was a bit cramped because while there are beds for 5, the second bedroom has a queen bed and also an elevated single that straddles the queen bed (depicted in photos). The decor is very pleasant and the space is laid out well The kitchen is a galley and simple (no dishwasher, small electric range) but is very functional We spent most of our time grilling, and (as of August 2020) the home would benefit from a new charcoal grill, serviceable but VERY rickety. Overall, if you are looking for a simple getaway in a great location in a charming and private cottage at a reasonable cost, then this home is perfect. "
