A White House With A Brick Roof

The Whaler’s Cottage

With its exposed beams, winding staircase, fireplace from the 1700s and special kids' loft, the Whaler's Cottage will take you back to the frontier days of the Garden State.

Sleeps 6 guests | 3 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | Kids' loft

The Whaler’s Cottage dates back to the late 1700s, making it one of the oldest homes on Cape Island.

The settlers that came to Cape May for the Whaling industry in the 17th century built timber-framed houses, carefully crafted with a strength and fortitude that stands the test of time.

This beautifully restored, historic cottage combines authentic farmhouse touches with modern amenities, making it perfect for couples, families, or friends looking to unplug and unwind. With three cozy bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a charming living room featuring a gas-burning fireplace, the cottage offers a blend of warmth and elegance that sets the stage for a serene stay.
