The Blue Whale Cottage (circa 1872) is centrally located just one block from the beach and is less than a 10-minute walk to Cape May’s Washington Street Mall. The amazing location makes enjoying the beach, grabbing a morning cup of coffee, or dining at one of Cape May’s restaurants all that more enjoyable of an experience. The Cottage is a separate building located behind the main house and includes ocean views from the living room window. The recently updated kitchen has brand new cabinets, appliances, granite countertops, and built-in breakfast bar overlooking the living room. When you’re not busy enjoying downtown Cape May, relax in your recently refinished living room boasting a 65” TV with Hulu, Hulu Live, Netflix and a blazing fast mesh Wi-Fi. The Cottage has two bedrooms and one recently renovated bathroom. The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and 42” TV while the middle bedroom has twin sized bunk beds. There are also new couches in the living room. The renovated bathroom includes a beautifully tile finished bathtub/shower. The mattresses are encased in protective coverings, and guests are required to bring blankets, bedding, and linens. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Shower ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ## Similar properties ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/54000000/53980000/53977500/53977467/38a434e3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean Views, seconds to the beach, and a 5 minute walk to downtown shopping!
