Magnolia Porch
A Large and Well Maintained Home with every modern amenity- 7 bedrooms, sleeps 16 very comfortably!. Make memories at the Magnolia Porch, a well appointed Cape May vacation rental, this year! Our lovely historic Cape May vacation home was just given a face lift inside and out. Our exterior was freshly painted.

We've added a brand new kitchen, den, and pantry with a new open concept floor plan on the interior. We added over 400 square feet of brand new kitchen and open floor plan living space. We now have two refrigerators, a 36 professional gas range, two ultra quiet dishwashers, three large sinks with disposals, and a separate kitchen pantry area for your entertaining convenience.
Services
In addition to its pristine beaches and all of the summer fun that goes along with the sand and surf, there is also a vibrant community of year-round residents here that supports the arts and organizes festivals [food & wine; lima beans(!); seafood; Octoberfest-just to name a few].

In the warmer months, there are also deep sea fishing competitions including shark hunts, weekly movies on the beach, whale watching, horse and carriage rides, ghost tours, you name it!At any time of the year you can explore Cape May's rich history and visit our lighthouse, the many historic buildings (many of which you can tour), and the WWII lookout!
These 3 full and 2 half baths don't tell the whole story. The two additional private and separate outdoor showers-each with its own private changing room also means there is ZERO wait time for a shower after a day at the beach! Two new tankless hot water heaters means every one gets a warm shower too!
Steps from all Cape May has to offer. Park your car and don't move it-a short one block walk to the white sand beach and world famous Cape May promenade. Four short blocks to the center of town with shops and restaurants galore! You will not forget this unique historic home which is one of the true treasures of Cape May.

We love this historic house! Newly updated kitchen and plenty of room. This charming mansion has a double wide porch big enough for multiple families and all just 1/2 block from the beach. It’s perfect!

Beautiful home. 1 block to the beach. Walking distance to the town night life and shopping without all the lights and traffic. You can park your car and leave it all week!

Such a beautiful home. One of our favorite vacation homes to enjoy family and this lovely little seaside oasis. The home is large enough that we don't feel crowded and the wrap-around porch extends our enjoyment even further. It's a terrific home and the couple who own the home couldn't be nicer!

Our family of 15 spent the last week of July, 2017 in this perfect, beautiful, comfortable, dreamy house. Everything is absolutely ideal and wonderful. The kitchen has all you want and more...top notch. We all gathered together at the dining room table comfortably and in the living room and porch. If you want to be alone for a while that is possible too. The beach is great and there are lots of other activities and restaurants in the area. All within walking distance too! We all loved Magnolia Porch and have only positive comments.

We have been coming to the Magnolia Porch for many years with my parents, siblings and all the children. We love the house and especially love the new kitchen. It has made it so much easier to feed a large… group! The large porch has been a wonderful place to catch quiet moments alone or with a family member. We enjoy Cape May and the variety of things that we can do there including climbing the lighthouse, visiting the Naval Station museum, touring the zoo, going for bike rides to Sunset Beach and so much more! The umbrellas that the Melsos have provided at the beach are a huge help--they

Our family has been meeting at Magnolia Porch (and its predecessors) every summer since at least 2000. Currently, our ages range from 9-93 and it perfectly suits all of us. We love the house and its many amenities. The new kitchen is spacious and well-designed so that preparing large family meals is fun and many can gather to help. It's an… easy walk to the beach made easier by the beach box and umbrellas that the Melsos provide. The Melsos have done a fabulous job updating Magnolia Porch. It's beautifully decorated but is still comfortable and welcoming. We look at Magnolia Porch as our

Our large family group ranging in age from 3 to 80 (four married couples, two teenagers, and three young children) spent a very happy week at the Magnolia Porch in 2017. The house is extremely comfortable and… perfectly appointed with everything you could possibly need for an excellent family vacation. We particularly enjoyed the spacious wraparound porch and the beautiful kitchen. The location, one block from the beach and walking distance to downtown, was perfect. The owner is extremely helpful and responsive, as well. Finally, Cape May not only has beautiful beaches but also a wealth
