About this property
Dog Friendly, Cozy Cottage, 1st Floor Apt for 2; A Fine Art and Garden Retreat!
Stay at gorgeous BayRose Garden in the dog-friendly Sweet Pea Cottage, a delightful get-away for two people, surrounded by beautiful gardens, hummingbirds and butterflies!
Nightly rates starting at $195 with a 10% discount when you book a full week. Sheets and towels are included so all you need to pack is your tooth brush. Also included are paper towels, toilet paper along with coffee and tea. Special rates and minimum stay reduced starting in October.
BayRose Garden is the most incredible private garden available for rent. You will see species of plants unavailable at most garden centers. Host plants for seven different butterflies, so they are born and raised right here.
Located in Villas, New Jersey, 2 blocks from the bay beaches and 8 miles north of historic Cape May, this cozy, cottage style apartment was just freshly painted and redecorated in 2023.
Not only do you get to enjoy the colorful garden display, but the cottage walls are decorated with the original “Streets of Cape May” panorama series along with original floral and nature art to enjoy and even purchase to take home with you.
The delightful, dog-friendly Bay Beaches are right down the road for long morning and evening walks with your best friend. Sunsets and other wildlife abound.
So if you love flower gardens, artwork and long walks with your dog on the bay beaches, this is the place for you.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa

A watercolor artist for over 35 years, I have become a gardening fanatic since the purchase of this simple Villas, New Jersey property in 2010.
Also an animal lover and owner of a spoiled Shichon (Shih Tzu / Bichon mix), I have made special accommodations to invite hummingbirds and butterflies into my garden to feed and thrive.
I was drawn to this quaint town after embarking on a body of artwork called "Streets of Cape May" where entire streets of the historic town are illustrated in vibrant panorama watercolors.
Wanting to start a large garden as an added palette to my creative portfolio I searched outside of Cape May and found the perfect location for all I needed to express.
Wanting to share these surroundings with other art and garden enthusiasts (other than my family) I have opened up my home's private apartment to those who thirst for all of the special beauty this area has to offer.

Why they chose this property
I fell in love with Cape May on my first visit and was compelled to dedicate my artistic career to capturing it's glorious streets in watercolor panorama paintings. I also yearned to start a significant garden, having outgrown my postage stamp size yard in Philadelphia.
How perfect was my find when I ventured north and happened upon a town called "Villas" where the reasonably priced cottages offered the land that I was in search of. Just a bonus, of course, that the bay beaches were just two blocks away allowing our little dog, Chloe' the ability to satisfy her own desires.
My Chloe' is now in animal heaven with her cat brother and sister Boomer and Alexandra. We miss her terribly. Our Munchkin has helped to fill the great hole she left behind.
