About this property
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 kitchen is fully equipped with full-sized stainless-steel refrigerator and stove. The dining room has seating for 6 and the screened porch also has seating for 6. The living room has a comfortable couch, two recliners, 3 stools at the snack bar, ALEXA, SMART TV with cable and DVD player.

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!
