Details are below: This historic home in quaint Cape May Point, named Song of the Sea, is one of the "Five Sisters" - five identical cottages built at the Point in 1875 by Dr. J. Newton Walker, son-in-law of Sea Grove (former name of Cape May Point) founder, Alexander Whilldin. This is your perfect vacation spot just steps away from the beach. Stroll down the quiet street to Surf Avenue where a sandy path leads through the trees and up over the dunes to a wide white-sand beach with the Atlantic Ocean on the left and the Delaware Bay on the right. Lifeguards protect the beach in summer. In the evenings, watch spectacular sunsets as you relax on the beach. The property has its original hardwood floors, large walk out windows, wrap around screened porch with wicker chairs and porch swing, and open 2nd floor deck. Be aware that the stairs to the 2nd floor are original and are steep. Use both railings as you go up or down. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home can accommodate up to 7 people (six adults plus one child), and features a fully-equipped kitchen, dining area, five individual mini split wall air conditioners, washer/dryer, street parking, fenced in back yard with outside shower, gas grill and patio seating area. Comcast cable and internet are supplied for your entertainment. You can easily walk to Pavilion Circle, a grassy park in the center of town where people gather to play volleyball and children's games during the summer season. Watch birds and butterflies during the fall migration. You can walk or bike ride to Cape May Point State Park where there are walking trails, a double deck bird observation platform, guided tours and informative hawk demonstrations (in the fall season). The 1859 historic light house is still in operation. If you want a challenge, climb its 199 steps to be rewarded with stunning, one of a kind views, of the beaches, ocean and town. Walk to the Cape May Bird Observatory to stroll the birding trails behind the building. Inside is a great resource of birding information plus shopping for your birding needs. Lily Lake, in front of the Bird Observatory, hosts many bird and aquatic species. Don't forget to visit Sunset Beach for the patriotic sunset flag ceremony honoring veterans each evening. While you're there join the search for the perfect Cape May diamonds. Enjoy your stay at Song of the Sea!

The house was absolutely lovely( except the pillows)
We could hear the ocean from the front screened porch. Cape May Point is a hidden gem along with this property.
This house is even better than advertised. Very clean, with good spacing for up to 5 adults and 2 kids. The two porches were my favorite part and you very close access to beach! Highly recommend.
This was our third stay at Song of the Sea . The house is lovely with old time charm and modern amenities. You can hear the ocean as you relax on the screened in porch. The beach is only steps away and early in the season you may be lucky enough to have it all to yourself. Linda is great with communication and the property is as described. We hope to be back soon!
This historic house is lovely. It was built in 1875 but has been updated with all the modern comforts. The location could not be better, only a few steps from the beach entrance. The host is easy to communicate with and the house has a detailed information book. There is plenty of room inside the house and a backyard, a screen porch, and an upper deck for stargazing. All around a great spot.
I had a fabulous week….spent time on the beach and walking the town. The host has a book that details the history of the town and its homes that I found fascinating. This home is very comfortable and the town is completely residential and unlike most beach towns, it’s full of trees and grass (gasp!). I feel like it’s a well-kept secret! Highly recommend Song of the Sea and Cape May Point. 5/5
From the minute I walked in I was in love. This 150 year old Victorian has been beautifully updated. All the areas of the house were totally geared to comfort. Loved the screened in porch furnished with comfortable furniture - a great place to have morning coffee and relax. The kitchen was totally equipped with everything you would need, and the bathrooms are top-notch. The property itself is exquisite - beautiful gardens, protected back yard, a shed to store your things, an outside enclosed shower, a shaded patio for outside dining, and a gas grill to boot. The location is perfect - less than a half a block to the beach. In addition the owner is a pleasure to work with - very responsive and a lovely person. Best house I have ever rented, and will again!
Song of the Sea is a beautiful house. We were happy to be there to celebrate her 150th birthday this year. We love the location, so close to the beach you can hear the waves. We love Cape May Point .Linda is a great host. The house is as described and equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. She is a great communicator as well.This was our fourth year staying here and we hope to be back next year.
House was as described, clean, and we'll appointed. Can't beat the location! We would rent again.

Lovely Victorian Cottage
This wonderful Victorian cottage has a wrap around porch for long summer evenings. Steps from the beach and a pleasant walk to the Red Store and lighthouse.
The house is charming and Linda is a great host. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was clean. The location is perfect; just steps to the beach. We loved hanging out on the screened in porch. We had a lovely, relaxing week and would definitely rent this property again.

Beautiful house really close to the ocean
We had an amazing time staying at Song of the Sea. So nice to be able to walk across the street and jump in the ocean and walk right back to the house.
The house has everything you need and Linda is an amazing and responsive host. We plan to go again next year, hopefully for two weeks!
The house was absolutely charming. It was the perfect blend of Victorian detail and charm mixed with modern conveniences. And the house was spotless. We loved it.
We had a great time at your beach house. It was just a very short walk to the beaches and they were better than we expected. Beautiful and not crowded at all. The neighborhood was very quiet (which we liked) but everything we needed and all the attractions were just a short distance away. Thanks again.
We had a wonderful time staying at one of the historic “Five Sisters” home. It was perfect for our family of five. The house is very well kept and you can’t beat the screened in porch. Multiple beach accesses that are just a few steps away. Exactly what we were looking for!
This was our second stay at Song of the Sea. It’s a beautiful old house with the perfect beach ambiance and lovely screened in front porch. The house was clean and the kitchen is well stocked. Best of all, it is only steps to a beautiful, uncrowded beach. The neighborhood is quiet in early June and there’s lots to do in neighboring Cape May.
The house perfectly met our needs with first floor bedroom for my mother and space to spread out on the porch and easy walk over dunes to beach and sunsets. Linda was great answering questions very promptly.
We had a great week in Cape May Point. The house was spotless. Layout was great for cooking at home. Beach was as close as you can get. We biked everywhere, spent lots of time on the screened in porch, grilled in the backyard. We hope to come back next year!
A beautiful house in a serene setting. If you want to get away (but not too far away) from the crowded areas and get to something more low-key, this part of the Point is definitely where you want to be. The house is one of the older ones in town (which is saying a lot down here), and it has been cared for beautifully over the years. Colorful yet classic, it's got plenty of space and everything you will need. We truly loved our stay here!
This was our second year staying a week here. The house is exactly as listed and described. My girls absolutely love it and they feel like it is their own vacation home. It is right across the street from the beach and super convenient to run back and forth from the beach and the house. The location is a nice quiet break from the busy section of cape may yet still only a quick 10-15min drive to all the shopping and restaurants.
