About this property

You’ll be just steps away from the Delaware bay beach when you stay at our family owned cottage located on a quiet street in Villas, New Jersey. Villas is minutes from the Cape May, Stone Harbor, and Wildwood Beaches. With a private access across the street, the dog friendly beach is literally just steps away. The bayside beach is your personal getaway that is not patrolled by life guards, never crowded, and the gentle waves are perfect for children and pets. Best of all, the bay offers the best sunsets in New Jersey!

From the moment you arrive you will feel right at home in this three bedroom, two bathroom cottage. The master bedroom has plenty of space with a king size bed; the second bedroom has a queen size bed and a wall mounted tv; the third bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed. The first bathroom features a tub/shower combo while the second has a walk-in shower. **Linens are not provided.**

The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of counter space, and has table seating for 6. The great room has a comfortable couch, loveseat, pub table with seating for four and a large wall mounted flat screen TV. The great room is an excellent place to get lost in entertainment while the front living room presents a beautiful view of the bay and a picture perfect sunset. The front living room is a fine place to enjoy the sound of the waves through the many windows while settling back on the futon, wicker sofa, or two wicker chairs. Enjoy our assortment of DVD’s, books, and games with the family or just relax and take advantage of the cable TV and wireless internet. No matter what, you’re sure to be comfortable with central AC.

Awesome beach house!

The house is bigger than expected with the "extra" family room and the front entry room with futon couch. Awesome deck and it's literally steps from the beach. Thank you!

What a location!

We loved this home. It was perfect for our needs and especially great for fishing. Our beagle had the best time in the fenced in yard and on the beach. So quiet in the neighborhood. We really loved the Greek restaurant The Olive Branch. Great food, BYO.

Nice area

I will be more careful never to rent homes that do not offer towels and sheets. Also never to rent homes that limit paper towels and toilet paper, just not good. Pet hair on beds was kinda gross. Area was great though. Location nice.

Location, location, location

This cottage was quite adequate for our family of 4 adults, 2 children (ages 14 and 9) and a golden doodle. After dinner, the great room easily accommodated all six of us (and the dog) for movie watching or playing games. The real draw, however, is the cottage's location. The bay access is right across the street; it's a very easy walk to a beautiful beach. Both the neighborhood and the beach are quiet; maybe a little too quiet to suit our 14 yr old. But we loved relaxing on the beach, reading, building sand castles, walking, collecting shells and just enjoying being together. From the cottage it is an easy drive to many restaurants, the Cape May Atlantic Ocean side for boogie boarding (beach tags provided), the Cape May historic district with the beautiful "painted ladies" and shops, and the famous Cape May zoo. Finally, Erica was always available via text messaging if we had any questions. We really enjoyed our vacation in the Villas on the bay.

About the host

Hosted by Erica Rhodes

There are 4 of us who own this property — Lonnie & Vicky along with their daughter and son-in-law, Erica & Matt. I'm Erica and who you'll be dealing with most of the time, but all 4 of us are available at any time to help answer any questions you may have.

We have 3 young children of our own and enjoy vacationing with family and hope you will enjoy our home as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Delaware Bay after searching for a dog friendly vacation spot near the New Jersey shore. We vacationed here in 2015 and loved the quiet, uncrowded, dog friendly, and family friendly bay beaches. Having 3 small children and 2 dogs means that proximity to the beach is very important to us. We are less then 50 steps to the bay and the BEST sunsets in New Jersey. We purchased this home in 2017 with my parents after immediately falling in love with it because of its location.

What makes this property unique

We have a fenced in yard perfect for young children as well as dogs, a deck that’s perfect for dining outside while listening to the bay, and plenty of space inside for rainy days.

It’s great being close to all of the amazing attractions Wildwood and Cape May have to offer while also being so close to the quiet, laid back Delaware Bay beaches. Some of our favorites include: the Cape May Zoo; numerous locations for miniature golf & ice cream; Sunset Beach; the Park and Ride trolly in Downtown Cape May; amazing local wineries; some great playgrounds including Sunrise at Rambler Rd; the Cape May Lewes Ferry; the dog park at Wildwood beach; all of the incredible restaurants, too many to list!
