Lead House Keeper

Join Our Tide-Turning Team in Cape May, NJ!

Are you a detail-oriented seafarer with a creative touch and a passion for excellence? Sea Haven Cottages, a boutique property management company nestled in the heart of Cape May, NJ, is seeking a Head Housekeeper to help us craft unforgettable coastal retreats.

Why You'll Love This Role:

At Sea Haven, we don't just manage properties—we curate warm, inviting havens that feel like a gentle ocean breeze. We're looking for someone who's ready to make our 15 boutique vacation rentals sparkle, from top to bottom, ensuring they're not only pristine but also filled with the thoughtful touches that guests will treasure.

This isn't your average housekeeping gig. You'll be a pivotal player, working closely with our Head Property Manager to ensure everything runs as smoothly as a calm sea, from cleanliness and comfort to the unique charm that makes every stay special.

Who We're Looking For:

  • Detail-Oriented Navigator: You have a keen eye for the little things that make a big impact, like the perfect placement of a seashell or the softest throw blanket.

  • Creative Problem Solver: Challenges don't faze you, and you know how to chart a new course when things go off-script.

  • Independent & Motivated: You're a self-starter who thrives in a dynamic, supportive team environment, much like a school of fish working together.

  • Active & Strong: This is a hands-on, fast-paced role, and we need someone ready to tackle the physical aspects—like lifting 50 lbs or more—with energy and enthusiasm.

  • Calm in the Storm: Cape May summers can be bustling, but you know how to keep things running smoothly with a smile, even when the tides are high.

  • Driver's License Required: A valid NJ driver's license is essential for this role.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Overseeing the cleanliness and guest-ready presentation of each property with an eye for perfection, ensuring they're as pristine as the beach at sunrise.

  • Collaborating with the Head Property Manager to ensure smooth scheduling, inventory management, and flawless turnovers, like a well-orchestrated sailboat race.

  • Inspecting properties before guest check-ins to guarantee everything meets our high standards, ensuring each guest feels like they've washed ashore in paradise.

  • Managing a small team of cleaners, making sure they uphold our Sea Haven standard of excellence, like a captain leading their crew.

Perks of the Job:

  • Payrolled Position with competitive pay based on experience.

  • End-of-Summer Bonus as a thank you for your hard work during the season.

  • We'll train the right person—if you're driven and ready to learn, we're ready to show you the ropes!

  • Work in the stunning, laid-back setting of Cape May.

  • Join a team that works hard but knows how to have fun along the way.

If you're ready for a role that goes beyond cleaning and want to be part of a company that values quality, creativity, and teamwork, we'd love to hear from you!
