Walk two blocks more and you are at the beautiful Ocean Street Beach.

With 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths, it's a great vacation choice for large families, friends and couples. The open space first floor offers a great room with 50" flat screen TV, bar cabinet, well equipped kitchen, and a spacious dining area.

This house was a perfect “home base” for a terrific week in Cape May - it’s wonderfully located, has great indoor/outdoor spaces for family meals, and in general, is a thoughtfully designed, comfortable, and lovely place.

Family fun at the Fox Den!

Even a few rainy days couhhldn't ruin our stay at the Fox Den. The house easily accomodated our family of 6 adults and 3 children. The layout of the house allows for plenty of together time, but you can easily escape to read or work in one of three inside sitting spaces or the front porch or lovely back yard. wss a hit

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Fox, Colleen Fox

Host profile image
We grew up in the Philadelphia area and live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Since purchasing our home we've offered our home to guests mainly during the summer months, but recently decided to rent out home off season also. Our growing family uses the family Cape May home throughout the year.
Recently, when we were away on vacation, we noted a quote which describes our rental experiences : "A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet. - Anonymous". We are appreciative of the many relationships developed with “guests” who have vacationed at the Fox Den. We welcome the chance to speak with you about our home and ask you to consider it as you make your vacation plans.

Why they chose this property

Because Cape May is uniquely a "year round" seashore community, our family fell in love with the town, the activities, and events offered throughout the four seasons. There is something to do for all four generations in our family. Since purchasing our home, we've been delighted that so many families make the "Fox Den" their vacation home year after year. From our experience, vacation time can create wonderful memories. We work hard to offer a great product with the hope that the "Fox Den" feels like a home away from home for you.

What makes this property unique

Our home feels beachy! Whether you are sitting on the porch, the comfy couches, or taking an outside shower under the stars, you know you are at a beach home on vacation. We appreciate that many of our guest choose the "Fox Den" year after year as their Cape May go-to place. Being able to walk anywhere in town is so enjoyable! Our grandkids love being able to walk to the beach, grocery store, ice cream shop, and mini golf. Our guests love being able to walk to restaurants, pick up a bottle of wine and relax in the backyard conversation pit after a busy Cape May day. Because there are bedrooms, laundry facilities, and family rooms on both floors, our home works for multiple generations or families.
