The Joseph Hall Cottage Historic Cape May

This is the house that the tours come to see!
The primary en suite — double mahogany vanity, granite counters, brass fixtures, and a green glass tile backsplash. A proper bathroom for a proper Cape May summer.
Second floor full bath — mahogany vanity, brass fixtures, and built-in linen shelves stocked with fresh towels. The details here are as considered as anywhere else in the house.
The full bath on the second floor — generous proportions, a Persian runner, and a shower curtain that holds its own in a house full of good taste.
The third floor full bath — a clawfoot tub, original hardwood floors, and lavender walls under a vaulted ceiling. This one might be hard to leave.

About this house rental

Some homes have addresses. This one has a legacy.

Built in 1868, the Joseph Hall Cottage is one of Cape May’s most recognized Victorian landmarks — a masterwork of Italianate gingerbread architecture nestled in the heart of the National Historic Landmark District. With its signature golden facade, intricate carved porch detail, original entry staircase, and ornamental ironwork gardens, Joseph Hall is not just a place to stay. It is a piece of American architectural history.



The Space



Five beautifully appointed bedrooms sleep up to 10 guests in comfort:

1 King primary with en suite

1 secondary King bedroom

1 Queen bedroom

1 double Queen bedroom

1 double twin bedroom

The Victorian porch with rocking chairs sets the tone the moment you arrive. Inside, original architectural details — carved woodwork, period mantlepieces, generous room proportions — have been lovingly preserved. This is a home that rewards slow mornings and lingering evenings.



Outside



The landscaped rear yard offers privacy rare for in-town Cape May. Grill out, rinse off at the outdoor shower after the beach, and let the evening unfold on the porch as the neighborhood lights up at dusk. Off-street parking for multiple vehicles is included — a genuine luxury in Cape May in July.



Location



Hughes Street sits at the quiet heart of the historic district. The beach is a short walk. Washington Street Mall — Cape May’s celebrated pedestrian promenade of shops, galleries, and restaurants — is steps away. Everything that makes Cape May one of the East Coast’s most beloved destinations is at your door.
