Welcome to the Penthouse at the Merry Widow Condos on Historic Jackson Street. This spacious one-bedroom, third floor condo offers stunning views of the rooftops of Victorian Cape May and is centrally located near all the restaurants and shops of the Washington Street Mall. As you enter this stunning condo, you are welcomed to your own private deck leading into your living space. There is outdoor furniture for you to enjoy the open air as you listen to the horses and carriages clop clop by. The inside of the condo is designed as an open living space with a full kitchen, counter seating for four and an adjacent living room with a queen sofa bed and TV. As you go to the front of the condo, down the hall, you'll have a washer/dryer closet in the hallway and a bedroom offering a queen bed. The bathroom has a deep tub and a walk-in shower. Down a short flight of steps is a second floor, turret sitting area, with a view down Jackson Street and perfect for morning coffee or reading. The entire condo has radiant heat in the floor, making it a warm cozy place to spend Fall and Winter nights. There are interior steps to access this unit off Jackson Street or rear open steps that walk right up to your deck. Additional amenities include 4 seasonal beach tags to use during your stay and 4 beach chairs. The Unit has one assigned parking space on-site so you'll have the rest of your stay to walk around town easily and shouldn't need to use your car very much at all. This location is ideal for all four seasons. The well-known summer season has you just steps to all the best Cape May attractions including the beautiful beach just one block away. Spring and Fall offers many local festival and special events during all the holidays. Quite a few restaurants and shops remain open all year round so don't forget about the winter months. Cape May is one of the most beautiful towns to visit during the holiday season. Nearby Washington Street Mall has hospitality nights, sidewalk sales and decorates seasonally. For those traveling with little ones, the arcade is just down the street along with mini golf just on the corner! Peace Pie, one of the best ice cream sandwich shops in the country is located next door on Carpenters Lane. The town is easily walk-able. Cape May during the season has some fun events usually planned for the kiddos, including a Captain Kidd Treasure Hunt. There are tons of kid friendly places to eat or get take-out to enjoy in your amazing condo that is just a stone throw away from all these wonderful places!

Reviews
Modern comfort, quiet surroundings, every detail thoughtfully handled
We were pleasantly surprised by the spacious 1 bdrm at this location. Clearly, it was upgraded recently to top-end appliances and decor, even has heated floors. Everything in the pictures are accurate. Across the street are restaurants, two blocks away is the beach. Would definitely rent again. One thing to consider is the penthouse is 40 steps up so if that is an issue consider alternatives. The feedback for the property managers (not the unit itself) is while we were happy to wait for our 4pm check in (we arrived 1.5 hours early and the staff could not contact the owner/cleaning people to confirm an early check in), when we did arrive at 4pm, they were still cleaning it until 5pm. Given all the 'guidance' of check in and check out policy strictly enforced, you may want to take a page from your own book. Fortunately, a very nice owner met us and invited us in to wait an hour. If it wasn't for her, I would not have given 5 stars not for the property, but for the experience.
Thank you very much for leaving this amazing feedback and detailed review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at this property and look forward to welcoming you back! We apologize for the delay with the owner's cleaners having the property ready for your check in and will follow up with this owner to assist with making sure steps are taken for this to not happen for future stays. Despite it being a back-to-back turnover with a check out that morning, you are correct that a delayed arrival isn't the norm at this property or others.Posted: 9/18/2026
