About this property
4500 sq. ft historic victorian fully renovated, 2-3 blocks from downtown/beach!
The Majestic Star – 705 Columbia Ave
10% of proceeds will go to grade school educational programs for communities impacted by Covid-19 in Rwanda.
Located in the heart of Cape May’s historical district three blocks from town and two blocks from one of the most pristine beaches on the Northeast coast, the Majestic Star is an expansive home perfectly positioned to experience one of the most unique towns in America. The short walk along picturesque Columbia Avenue to the downtown restaurant scene, boutique shops, live music venues and more will take you by some of the best preserved Gothic Revival Victorian architecture in the country built with features modeled after the great churches of Europe. Our home was built in 1870 and past owners include one of the original publishing families in the country, yet the interior has a decidedly modern beach feel. From either the open air porch or glass screened in area watch the horse-drawn carriage tours walk past or take a look across the way at the beautiful Chalfonte Hotel as they host weddings.
Please note our property has just one reserved parking spot, we have unmetered spaces along our street Columbia but during peak days (Fri/Sat May-Sep) additional spaces could be 1-3 blocks away. The good news is with our location close to town and the beach you won’t need your car much! Early check in for weekend stays Sep-May is generally available to help with parking as well.
We provide all bed and bath linens, something we are continually surprised is not standard in Cape May. For the interior, one of our bedrooms is part of a rear attached cottage which is a perfect place for two guests to have a bit more privacy and also their own kitchen. Other interior highlights include a sun room located off our first floor bedroom with its own daybed and reading chair, a large dining room, and a well-stocked board game collection of our favorites. Outside our outdoor grill and fire pit are perfect for summer night cookouts. We look forward to hosting you!

About the host
Hosted by Jake Pashelinsky
My wife's family has been coming down to Cape May for over 60 years and it has been our escape from the city every weekend from May to October since we met. It has been a dream of ours to enter the hospitality business and we couldn't be more excited to start. We are looking for guests who want to come year after year and would very much like feedback on your experience!
Why they chose this property
Columbia Ave is our absolute favorite block in Cape May. It has a unique stretch of old beautiful homes and a lively energy on the weekends with the horse drawn carriages and nearby weddings. With our house you get the best of both worlds in a charming old house but with lot's of recent interior renovation work. The location is just a short walk from nearly everywhere you will want to go in Cape May, can leave the car keys in the house.
