Vacation Rentals in Cape May, New Jersey
cape may accommodation guide
If you're looking for a beach vacation that won't leave you hanging on a rainy day, Cape May beach houses have your number. Cape May is the most popular Jersey Shore beach town, and for good reason. It hwas America's first seaside resort (hence the Victorian architecture), and has a really enviable balance of peaceful relaxation and exciting adventure.
You can take it easy, checking out great sites like the Cape May Lighthouse, taking a moonlit stroll along the beach, spotting herons at the Cape May Bird Observatory, enjoying a horse-drawn carriage ride with Cape May Carriage Company, shopping at Washington Street Mall, or touring the Victorian Emlen Physick Estate. Or you can get the adrenaline pumping by parasailing, surfing, or biking through town (Cape May is very biker-friendly). Other favorite attractions include the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum, the World War II Lookout Tower, Cape May National Golf Club, and the Cape May County Zoo. Guests of Cape May cottages have endless things to see and do, on and off the water.
As well, if you book Cape May vacation rentals, you can enjoy your own private attractions - like a game room, hot tub, and pool. Privately owned and rented Cape May accommodations range from pet-friendly cabins to weekend cottages to oceanfront beach houses. That's right, pet-friendly! Cape May is a very dog-friendly beach town - Historic Cold Spring Village, the beach at Cape May Point State Park, and other local shops and restaurants welcome furry, four-legged patrons. So, consider bringing your favorite pooch along with dog-friendly Cape May villas, cabins, and cottages.
Whatever you're looking for, though, whether it's a romantic weekend cottage or luxury beach house with a private pool in Cape May, Vacation Rentals.com has all the accommodations and the vacation deals you need.

cape may vacation deals
Cape May beach accommodations are very budget-friendly. Compared to hotels, vacation rentals boast a lot of space and "extras" (like a gourmet kitchen or private pool). Instead of squeezing into a small, lackluster hotel room, or booking multiple hotel rooms for a big group or family, why not enjoy the experience of Cape May beach houses? After all, vacation rental lodging usually costs the same as a hotel, just with more space and more ameniites. Book a sprawling, oceanfront cottage with satellite TV and a hot tub overlooking the ocean! You don't have to settle for boring views and "standard" amenities.
Cape May vacation deals don't stop there, though. Consider weekend or weekly Cape May beach accommodations instead of nightly, and you'll enjoy better rates. As well, Cape May is bustling during the winter, as there are plenty of indoor attractions to keep the beach town lively. However, since Cape May cabins, cottages, and homes are more often booked for the summer, you can enjoy cheaper off season rates by visiting during winter.
Finally, be on the lookout for great last minute Cape May vacation deals, cancellation specials, and more - by changing your trip to a different weekend or week than you planned, you might be able to take advantage of a fantastic deal.
