Neighborhood highlights

Located in Cape May’s peaceful Village Green neighborhood, Ocean Stay Cape May offers a quieter, more relaxed side of town while still keeping you close to everything that makes Cape May special. Originally developed in the mid-20th century as a residential “village within a city,” Village Green is known for its charming quad cottages, wide streets, and laid-back neighborhood feel.

The area feels distinctly local and nostalgic — the kind of neighborhood where families bike home from the beach, string lights glow after dinner, and summer evenings stretch a little longer. You’re close to Beach Avenue, downtown Cape May, the harbor area, and longtime local favorites like Lucky Bones Backwater Grille, The Lobster House, Harry's Ocean Bar & Grille, and C View Inn — all part of Cape May’s enduring old-shore charm.
