Refreshing, Comfortable, and Clean Cottage for 3 Adults

Really liked the layout of the cottage as-well-as the long dining table where we played games. Beach umbrella came in handy on sunny days. Very close to the State Park and beach, and not too far from the town. Neighborhood is a nice area for a walk. Communication with Sarah was great!

Bringing in Fall at Cambridge Cottage!

My husband and I loved our four-day stay at Cambridge Cottage. It was perfect for the two of us. Great location close to the beach and lighthouse - we rode our bikes everywhere. Including downtown Cape May for breakfast and shopping. Would definitely recommend and we would go back! Sarah was super.

Cape May Point getaway

This was a perfect Cottage for a great Cape May Point vacation! House was well equipped and very comfortable for kids and adults. A short walk to the beach and the lake. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood that allowed our little guys to ride their bikes on the street and enjoy walking to the beach. A great getaway! We will be back.

Magical Cambridge Cottage in Cape May Point!

The Cambridge Cottage has been our home away from home for multiple years now. It is our favorite place to stay, and we look forward to returning every year! Sarah is a wonderful and super responsive host. The Cottage is in an unbeatable location close to the beach, Lake Lily, and the Lighthouse! The Cottage has a wonderful outdoor space, and is super welcoming and comfortable. Plenty of space to spend nights together as a family. House is clean and tidy and stocked with books and games to enjoy. We look forward to many more years at the Cambridge Cottage!
