About this property

The Ocean Breeze, 921 Kearney Ave

Perfect for a large multi-family vacation or just a quiet get-away for two. Come stay at the Ocean Breeze, a 5-bedroom (including 2 master bedroom suites), 4-full bathroom beach house. Our home sleeps 13. It is 2 short blocks to Cape May's beautiful beach and ocean. Park your car and forget it. Ideal central location, in close walking proximity to all of Cape May's splendorous offerings. The Ocean Breeze is a 3-story modern Victorian home, located within the renowned national historic landmark district of Cape May, NJ, a short 5–10-minute walk to the Washington Street Mall, the center-of-town with shops and restaurants.

Each of the 2 Master bedroom suites has a private bath and sitting area. There is 1 KING bed and 5 QUEEN beds within the 5 bedrooms. In addition, there is one TWIN SOFA BED in the first-floor office with pocket doors that close for privacy. There are 4 full bathrooms: one on the first floor, two on the second floor and one on the third floor. Every bedroom has an HDTV.

The Ocean Breeze has two zone central air/heat and two gas fireplaces, one in the family room and the other in the second-floor master suite. There are big screen HDTVs in the family room and in the 2nd floor master suite. The large dining room seats 14 very comfortably. The spacious gourmet kitchen contains a breakfast nook that seats 8 people. Enjoy a cookout on the outdoor gas grill within the furnished outdoor patio. For those times when work calls, we have whole-home high-speed WiFi and LAN internet access throughout the house and an office with a large desk, a monitor, and pocket doors to close for privacy.

There are lots of places for relaxation, conversation and reading on our furnished open front porch and two furnished rear screened-in porches. The family room has room for family gatherings with two large sectional sofas, a love seat, and a recliner/rocker chair. Enjoy our extensive library of fiction, non-fiction, art, food, travel, and children’s books, as well as many great movie DVDs.

The kitchen is a chef's delight. Efficiently laid out with lots of granite counter tops, drawer space and overhead 42-inch cabinets. It has a long center island with an extra mini-sink and generous counter space for food preparation and serving. The Viking stove top has a pot filler faucet to fill the lobster pot and an exhaust vent. The double main sink has a garbage disposal. We have a side-by-side refrigerator and a built-in mini beverage/wine cooler fridge. It also has a wall oven, microwave, warming drawer, Bosch dishwasher, toaster oven and 2 coffee makers (drip Mr. Coffee type w/ basket filters and Keurig type). We are fully stocked for all that you need for preparation and serving. Plus, there's a granite counter snack surface for two which is open into the kitchen from the dining room.

Our home has a dedicated laundry room with a large high-efficiency front loading washer and dryer, sink, laundry basket, and drying rack for drying your delicate clothes. We have plenty of closet space with multiple walk-in closets. We also have a large crawl space under the house for bikes, boogey-boards, kayaks, and surfboard storage.

Amazing weekend for a girls trip!
This is an exceptional property in Cape May and was absolutely perfect for our girls weekend! It is located so close to everything. The house is immaculate and you can tell the owners take pride in this place, down to every detail. The property manager was available any time we would need by phone/text (which we didn’t but he still checked in on us!) We loved it all and will be back!

Christmas in Cape May
This is the 2nd year staying here. Its a wonderful house for a group of adults. Comfortable queen beds, no bunk beds. Plenty of shared space with enough seating for a group. Beautiful kitchen with decent kitchen gadgets and tools. Very easy to walk to most things including beach or mall. Hope to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Ed & Anne Bowen-Owners; Rob & Sharon Loiterman-Novegy Solutions Vacation Mngmnt.

Host profile image
Meet Ed and Anne Bowen, the owners.
The Bowens are a second generation “Coast Guard Family.” Ed’s father was stationed in Cape May on a ship at the Training Center in the early 1980’s, and Ed attended Cape May Elementary as a “Coastie kid.” Ed and Anne met in college where Ed graduated from the Coast Guard Academy and Anne graduated from Connecticut College, across the street.

Cape May has forever been a favorite vacation destination for the Bowens since 2005. With their three (now-grown) children, they have made amazing memories every year since. They live outside Philadelphia where Ed works as a Scientist and Anne is an Elementary School teacher.

Meet Robert and Sharon Loiterman, the guest vacation managers and former owners.
In 2020, this exquisite home became the Bowen's Cape May "home away from home" when they purchased it from Robert and Sharon Loiterman. The Loitermans are the home's original owners. They have been renting it to Cape May vacationers since 2008. As owners of Novegy Solutions, LLC, they provide consulting services through Novegy Solutions to the Bowens to help maintain this home's reputation as a premier and much sought-after vacation home in Cape May. Cape May has been their family vacation destination for over 25 years. They fell in love with Cape May on their first trip. In 2006 they built this modern Victorian vacation beach home in the heart of the historic district.

The Bowens look forward to welcoming your family to Cape May as you make your own beach memories. They hope you enjoy their home and that it becomes a special place for you, too!
