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!

Another great summer vacation!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Our party of 5 (3 adults and 2 young children) had a truly lovely stay at Song of the Sea, made all the more special by the celebration of its 150-year anniversary. The landscaping, colorful flowers, and inviting patio gave the home a cheerful, peaceful atmosphere that immediately set us at ease. We took extra care with the stairs, and offered the first floor bedroom to those who might have difficulty with the climb. From the moment we arrived, Linda was attentive in supporting our needs.The porch swing quickly became a favorite gathering spot, perfect for enjoying our morning coffee and sharing evening treats as the day wound down. The short walk to the beach was truly priceless, especially for the little ones, and provided many joyful, spontaneous moments.One of the most meaningful parts of our stay was biking to Sunset Point, where we gathered as a family each evening. Watching the sun dip below the horizon during those quiet golden hours, surrounded by the people we love, held extra significance for us. Song of the Sea was a beautiful sanctuary and place to stay. Thanks for the wonderful memories!

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.
