MERMAID COTTAGE - 3 MINUTE WALK TO BEACH - VERY CHARMING & CLEAN!
This MERMAID themed cottage is packed with charm and extra convenience items! Very clean with new furniture, decor, flooring and freshly painted throughout. The relaxing color palette along with the beach cottage décor adds to the allure that really makes this cottage stand out. This is the perfect place to make some special memories at the shore! NEW to the cottage…ALEXA Echo Dot can give you the forecast, news, play games, play music, read a story or even help with a recipe! NEW wall mounted 43” ROKU Smart TV in bedroom to stream your favorite shows.
Whether it’s a family vacation, girls’ weekend, holiday escape, wedding weekend or romantic getaway, this home comfortably sleeps 6 (5 privately) with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, front deck, back sun deck, full kitchen, living room, dining room and screened porch that seats 6 and for convenience, there is a washer and dryer.
Spend your days outdoors enjoying your own kayak, paddleboard, surf fishing rod or the beautiful weather and scenery. The beach is a stone’s throw away. The Mermaid Cottage is just a few houses from the breathtaking sunsets on the Delaware Bay. In just a couple of minutes, you'll be strolling on the beach, playing in the sand, splashing in the water or simply sunbathing as you listen to the peaceful sounds of the crashing waves. The bayside beach is your personal getaway that is not patrolled by lifeguards, no beach tags are needed, no curfews, no parking meters, no rip tides and the gentle waves are perfect for children. (NEW Beach cart to load the beach chairs, umbrella, swim noodles and beach buckets and cooler are included during your stay). If you want to exercise while checking out the views, go for a bike ride with one of the four beach cruisers that are provided.
After a day on the beach head back to the cottage and prepare a delicious meal. Grab some freshly caught seafood from the Lobster House and Jersey Fresh produce from one of Cape May County’s many local produce stands. Jersey tomatoes and silver queen corn are a must! The large backyard is the perfect place for a cookout using the new propane gas grill. You may want to choose from one of the many restaurants in our area, so be sure to look through our "Places to Sea" book for ideas and coupons.
THE LOCATION The Mermaid Cottage is centrally located to many attractions. We are only a few minutes from Cape May (6 miles) and a short drive to Stone Harbor, Avalon and the Wildwoods. There are many local vineyards, distilleries and breweries including Cape May Brewery, which has a free tour and is only a few minutes away. Bravado Coffee Cafe, ice cream parlors and pizza only a couple of blocks away. Jump on the Cape May-Lewes ferry by foot, bike or by car and spend the day visiting historic Lewes Delaware or nearby Rehoboth Beach. If you're in the mood for glitz and glamour, the Atlantic City casinos are 45 minutes north on the Garden State Parkway.
There is always something to do making the Delaware Bay/Cape May area a great place to visit year-round. Come enjoy all that Cape May County has to offer!
THE COTTAGE There’s a sun deck and chaise loungers out back and plenty of space to spread out. Grab a morning cup of coffee on the front deck, read a book on the futon or listen to the seagulls fly over on the screened porch. There are also outdoor games to play at the beach or in the back yard like lawn darts, yard pong, football, horseshoes and corn hole to keep you entertained.

The distance to the beach was not exaggerated!! Literally walked out the door and at the beach in 3 minutes. Great location! The home was so clean and quiet. A great place to relax!
Very clean and in close proximity to the beach. The house also worked great as a “home base” for many day time adventures. Drives are not long to many popular spots.
Mermaid Cottage was perfect for Memorial Day weekend at the shore. The house is super clean and well stocked for all key items (cooking, grilling and beach). Location is as close to the bay beach as advertised!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage! Exceptionally clean. Nicely maintained property and very well thought-out. Lots of little details to make a stay easy, comfortable, and fun. Excellent communication from the host. Would definitely stay again!
The Mermaid Cottage was clean and comfortable with lots of amenities and great attention to detail. Slept our party of 5 comfortably and location was convenient. Kimberly was a great host and easy to deal with. We had a great stay.
We had a great stay at the mermaid cottage! This was our 2nd time there and we can’t wait to come back. Great location - right near the beach and amazing hostess with attentive communication. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed our stay at Mermaid cottage. Extremely clean, stocked with everything we needed. Nice to have the bay just a short block away. The screened in porch was wonderful for eating together. Owners were extremely communicative and helpful. Relaxing neighborhood away from the chaos of downtown Cape May. I’ll stay again in the future.
The cottage was exactly as pictured and described and was a lovely place to stay. Convenient for the beach and a short drive to downtown but peaceful and quiet.
We had a very pleasant stay thanks Kimberly.
Little getaway with my daughters (ages 27 & 17). Cottage was perfect. Short walk to beach. Very clean and stocked with necessities. Owner went the extra mile to make our stay memorable and personable

About the host
Hosted by Kimberly
I am very familiar with all that Cape May County has to offer and I would love to introduce it to you! I have lived in Cape May County my entire life, as have many generations before me. I reside nearby in Middle Township with my husband and children.
Why they chose this property
Once a hidden gem, now the rental market in Villas is booming. Most visitors like it so much, they stay for a lifetime.
What makes this property unique
The improvements and décor were from many nights and weekends of hard work by my husband and myself. We love this home and hope you will too. Located on a quiet residential street with views of the beach path, this property is quaint and charming. Take the two minute walk to the bay for the best sunsets around!
