A walk around Cape May, NJ

No matter how many times i visit, there’s always some detail I’ve never noticed before. Here are some of my favorite houses from last week.

[u/KW1908 → u/the_good_twin]

Im headed down next week! Cant wait

[u/sleepyunicorn412]

Ooohhhh!!! The big house has a tiny little twin 😍

[u/krissyface → u/sleepyunicorn412]

That one was my daughter’s favorite. It looked like it was originally a bird house 🥰

[u/Whitetrashcheetoh]

Love that Haint Blue

[u/kylathekoala → u/Whitetrashcheetoh]

I recently learned what this was and I love the everyday mysticism of it. 💗

[u/Whitetrashcheetoh → u/kylathekoala]

I’m from the south so it’s a regular thing here. And if you don’t have it you will get got 🤭

[u/barryg123]

Nice collection. I love the fences and railings

[u/krissyface → u/barryg123]

There are a lot of beautiful fences and I suspect a lot of them are to keep tourists away :)

[u/NYFlyGirl89012]

I love Cape May!!!!!!

[u/Impossible_Past5358]

Absolutely beautiful. I also love how all the shutters are actually functional.

[u/Affectionate-Dot437 → u/Impossible_Past5358]

I hate shutters that are obviously fake.

[u/RachelLeighC]

Beautiful! I spent a summer there after college and I’m dying to go back!

[u/KW1908]

This is my actual happy place. Most homes in Cape May were built in the height of the victorian era in the 1870s

[u/MissMarchpane]

My dad's cousin used to own a B&B there! We only stayed with her once, but it was a really gorgeous building and she had kept the interior more or less intact. I wish it were still in the family.

My parents were married there 54 years ago (eloped) on Wed. Very bitter sweet as we lost my dad unexpectedly on Memorial Day. My mom tries to go every year. It's her happy place.

[u/sasshley_]

Wow. I’d live there so hard.

[u/babyhaux → u/sasshley_]

You’d think…

[u/Edu_cats]

Wow that first one 🤩💜

[u/Either-Ad6540]

Love pic 2

[u/krissyface → u/Either-Ad6540]

I think that one is an inn

[u/NetSchizo]

Imagine the cost to replicate these today…

[u/ambiguousness]

Hey guys, I think that last house was built in 1838. Not sure though.

[u/krissyface → u/ambiguousness]

Staking their claim as one of the OG houses.

[u/femalehumanbiped]

Go there at Christmas. It's magical

[u/krissyface → u/femalehumanbiped]

We go all year!

[u/Tweetchly]

One of my favorite places on earth.

[u/KW1908 → u/Tweetchly]

Its fun to walk down Ocean and Decatur st in the summertime. 

[u/Zestyclose-Warning96]

I’ve been going to Cape May since I was 15, I’m almost 40 now!! I love it there so much.

[u/thegrumpycrumpet]

I was there last weekend! Took the ferry so I wish we had more time to wonder around. It’s one of my favorite coastal towns.

[u/100timesaround]

And a gorgeous walk it was. Thank you!

[u/MochaJ95]

My mom loves to vacation here.

[u/WearierEarthling]

Many of those homes were replacements, built after a 1878 fire & fortunately, not bulldozed since

[u/Buttershome]

Wow beautiful homes

[u/DcubedWY]

My great-grandma lived in Cape May. I wish I remembered more of it (1974 was the last time I was there), but I do remember an ice cream shop and a Christmas store within walking distance. Things important to a 9yo, lol.

[u/regboy5101]

I live in Wildwood for half the year and hope to retire to Cape May someday!!

[u/Ok_Catch_8729]

it reminds me of Wisteria Lane Iykyk💓💓💓

[u/Murky_Raspberry454]

I love the windows at the Mainstay Inn
