The White Cottage
Located at 2 Atlantic Terrace, The White Cottage was built in 1891, and was designed by Stephen Decatur Button. It is one of the famous "Seven Sisters" of Cape May - seven identical Italian-Renaissance-style cottages built, as the legend goes, for the seven beloved daughters of a wealthy Cape May builder.
The White Cottage has four levels - a Ground-Level Apartment, and three floors. The building has three terraces, and each have ocean views. The entrance was placed in the center, leading guests into a large foyer with a hand-carved spiral staircase winding up to the top floor. The White Cottage is available for rentals year round through our Central Reservations Office. From Sept - June the White Cottage can be rented as 3 separate units or as a whole house. From the last week of June through the first week of September the White Cottage must be booked as a whole house Saturday to Saturday either with or without the basement. Please call for details as this policy could change based on availability.
