303 Coral Avenue, Cape May Point, New Jersey. Exceptional Craftsmanship, Timeless Coastal Elegance, and an Extraordinary Cape May Point Location. Welcome to “The Happy Place,” a truly exceptional custom-built luxury residence where timeless Craftsman cottage architecture meets sophisticated coastal living. Located just seven homes from the beach in beautiful Cape May Point, this one-of-a-kind property was thoughtfully designed and built by Tom Larkin, founder and owner of Dovetail Design Build, a highly regarded custom home building and design firm with deep roots in Cape May Point. A celebration of architectural detail and superior craftsmanship, this stunning home showcases exquisite millwork, cathedral ceilings, custom cabinetry, thoughtfully placed transom windows, and beautiful hardwood flooring. Every element reflects an appreciation for quality, character, and the natural light that makes coastal living so special. The result is a home that feels both luxurious and wonderfully inviting, with the warmth and charm of a classic Cape May Point cottage. Offering three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one powder room, the thoughtfully designed floor plan provides comfortable first-floor living along with inviting spaces for family and guests. Upon entering, a welcoming foyer leads down the hall to a spacious living room, where a propane gas fireplace creates a cozy gathering place. The living area flows effortlessly into a beautiful, light-filled sunroom, dining area, and chef's kitchen, creating an ideal setting for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. The kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring a Viking range, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a convenient pantry closet. Throughout the home, exceptional built-ins and architectural details add both beauty and functionality. The first-floor primary suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring a cathedral ceiling, beautifully appointed private bathroom, and custom cabinetry. A conveniently located powder room and tucked-away laundry closet complete the main level, making single-floor living a wonderful option.

Custom built-in media cabinetry and oversized, irresistibly comfortable chairs make this a favorite place to unwind. Two beautifully furnished guest bedrooms share a spacious bathroom featuring a tiled shower, classic wainscoting, and custom built-in cabinetry. Every room has been tastefully designed and decorated with an eye for detail, comfort, and coastal elegance. Offered fully furnished, “The Happy Place” is truly turnkey.
