You are 30 seconds away from the beach, you hear the surf all night, the neighborhood is adorable, the cottage is adorable. It's not a "luxury" resort but it has everything you need and the owners are super friendly and responsive.
The cottage was perfect for our weekend getaway. It was clean and had a great beach vibe. Itâs steps away from the beach and very close to all that Cape May has to offer. Would definitely stay here again.
This is a bright airy house literally steps away from the beach. The beach itself never seems to have many people on it so you have it to yourself. We had a wonderful stay.
This is our second time staying at the Brainard Cottage and it is hands down our favorite house to rent in cape may. It is so cozy in the cool weather and breezy when it warms up. The location near the beach, park, shops, and sunsets is ideal. The house is clean and updated, well decorated and beach themed. Cathy the host is so gracious, easy to get in touch with, and always ready to give a helpful recommendation. Canât wait to visit again soon!
My parents and i used to go to cape may point every summer, but its been over 20 years since weve been back. This wonderful little cottage gave us the full point expeirence, and the entrance to the beach being so close was wonderful. I drank my tea on the beqch every morning and we watched the sunset every night, without having to make any extra plans.
Perfect stay! 10/10
This is everything you would want in a beach house. The location to the beach was steps away. The house was fully equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes and fully stocked kitchen. Outside shower was great after a long day of playing in the sand. Cathy was responsive with any questions we had. I would and will definitely stay here again.
My boyfriend and I travel to Cape May every year at the end of the summer season. This beach front cottage was perfect for the 2 of us!
This home is in a perfect location. Steps from the beach and in the center of it all... There is a nice back yard & the house is clean.
I'm so glad to have found this little gem as we are looking forward to our next trip! Thank you Cathy and Keith for your accommodations!
Best wishes,
Lisa & Jason.
This cottage is perfect in every way, clean, cozy, and so beachy, the vibe is perfect for a beach getaway. This was our first family vacation in a while, and it was absolutely perfect. The location is unbeatable and priceless, and the cottage met and exceeded all of our needs. The owner is reliable, so kind, and super responsive if you have any questions at all. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet peaceful getaway, the weather for our trip was cooler than we wanted, but we spent three wonderful days bundled up on the beach watching waves, dolphins, and seabirds, and then cozied up next to the indoor gas fireplace to warm up. We will definitely be back!
The location of this cottage could not have more perfect!! Loved hearing the water crashing into the shore in the mornings and when falling asleep.
However, the were no screen doors. Screen doors would have been great - the cross breeze would have been wonderful. It was quite small. Not a lot of places to put things. The kitchen left a lot to be desired, however it's quaint!!
Delightful. Excellent location on a beautiful beach at The Point. Very clean, well appointed, nice yard (beautiful landscaping) for lounging. Close enough to "town", ten minutes max., for restaurants etc, far enough away to enjoy the serenity, beauty and beaches of the Point. Kathy was proactive and responsive on the few times we had to communicate.
First time in thirty five years the family home in CM was not available. This was a great first step into a new way for us to visit the Point.
Quiet neighborhood, great beach access, divine sunsets. Cute cottage with comfy beds. We were outside all day each day so had no reason to watch tv. Beach chairs and cruiser bikes available. Could use a couple soft chairs in the house but absolutely loved our stay.
This is a perfect getaway spot. Ideal for a couple alone or perhaps with one child. Owner was friendly and easily accessible.
The cottage itself was warm and inviting. Exactly what I hoped it would be. A difficult place to leave. I look forward to a future visit. Thank you, Cathy.
This beautifully appointed cottage is literally steps from Sunset Beach. Every convenience is provided, including bikes (with locks and helmets), a grill, and a fire pit. The beds were the most comfortable of any beach rental I've stayed in. It felt like home. Property owners are wonderful to work with. The Cape May Point area is great for long walks, too. Highly recommend!
Arrival was simple. We found what we needed. Loved being so close to the beach. We enjoyed the gas fired pot bellied stove. The beds were comfortable. The house had a very nice bathroom, it was beautifully renovated.
A lovely little place nestled on the edge of the dune. We loved being steps away from the beach and close to great restaurants and fun activities. Perfect trip to reconnect with our grown children and to relax.
Great spot in beautiful Cape May Point, cute, well cared for cottage just steps from the beach. We had a great Tim in this little cottage, the 2 bedrooms were a good fit for the adults and 2 kids had fun on the pullout couch! Cathy was very responsive and made sure everything was set for our fabulous vacation!
What could be more lovely than right next to the beach?
This is a very small cottage... it's so charming... more than 2 people might be an issue... but again it's right next to the beach dunes.. ten steps and your on the dunes..
We loved this little cottage and itâs ideal location. The deco is adorable, beach theme all the way. There are Adirondack chairs on the back patio, bikes to use and a fantastic hammock. The beach being so close made it easy to come and go as we please, even if just for a short walk. Quiet and relaxing, but close enough of a drive to get into town.
A wonderful house! Everything we needed fit into a pleasantly cozy house. Charming beachy decorations, nice yard for the kids, bikes to ride around. And the beach is right there!
We have been living in Cape May since 2007 and fell in love with it as soon as we moved here. My husband grew up in Philadelphia, and I in Mt. Laurel, nj. We lived in Palmyra for a few years, moved to Fort Myers, Florida, then Venice, Fl and found our way to Cape May! We have been looking at houses in Cape May Point since we have moved here and came across this one a few years back. At that point (even though the house was up for sale by owner) the owner was not ready to sell. October of 2015 we gave him a call again and made an offer. Through easy negotiations, we agreed on a deal and settled on April 7, 2016! Since then we have been putting nothing but love into this house.
This house was built in 1928 and owned by the same family from 1940 until 2016. That family put a lot of love, time and effort in the home and kept it in tip top shape!! Since we bought this property, we have felt at home since day one and have been putting nothing but love into this cottage! We are so in love with this little cottage and we know whoever uses it will love it also! In 2018, we have done some beautiful renovations and continue to do so every year! We have put waynes coating on the walls, restored the original hardwood flooring, and upgraded the bathroom to include a washer and dryer. We have also added a shed, fire pit and brand new windows!
This home is very small and cozy and demands relaxation. It literally is steps from the beach and you can hear the ocean 24/7! The hammock begs you to relax in the sun and listen to the waves. The swing on the tree invites young ones to swing away! There is plenty of outside seating and a large tree in the back of the house that provides massive shade!
