If you're an ocean lover, you're likely aware of the beautiful beaches that make up the Jersey Shore. At the southernmost point of the Shore is Cape May, known for its grand houses and old-time feel. Our Escape Pick this week is located in Cape May Point, a small town that is part of the larger municipality of Ocean City.

The house has a beach-y feel, from its natural-tone shingled exterior to the open interiors to the deck with a view. The house has five bedrooms and two and a half baths, and is listed for $849,000. It has manicured grounds, a porch, and a deck off the second level.

Located about 160 miles from Manhattan, or a three-hour drive, the house is big enough for entertaining and hosting. Take a look around.
