Cape May sits at the southern tip of New Jersey's Cape May Peninsula, making it a hotspot both for summer beach visitors and famed great white shark Mary Lee, who visits every season. It has long been ranked one of the top beaches in the country and the best beach in a state full of them. Cape May also has a slew of museums, cute stores, restaurants, food stalls, alpacas, and beautiful Victorian architecture.

If any of that sounds appealing to you, consider this four-bedroom, three-bath cedar shake house at 1712 Maryland Ave. in Poverty Beach, now priced at $879,000. The house is a spacious 2,062 square feet and sits just a couple blocks from the beach, making it a prime spot for summer visitors.

The house's front leaded-glass door opens to a sunny foyer.
