About this property

Private Saltwater Pool • Backyard Oasis • Bay Sunsets • 1-Story 3BR Home

Welcome to Backyard Oasis, your private summer getaway in The Villas—one of Cape May County's best-kept gems!

Imagine starting your morning with coffee on the shaded patio, spending the afternoon floating in your private inground saltwater pool, and ending the day watching one of New Jersey's most beautiful sunsets along the Delaware Bay. Here, you can enjoy a relaxing beach vacation without giving up the convenience of being close to everything Cape May County has to offer.

The Best of the Jersey Shore—Without the Crowds

The Villas is ideally located in Lower Township at the southern tip of New Jersey, tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay. You're just a short drive from:

Cape May and its beaches, shops, restaurants & Victorian charm
The Wildwoods and their famous beaches, boardwalk & amusements
Stone Harbor & Avalon
Sea Isle City
Cape May–Lewes Ferry
Cape May Lighthouse
Historic Cold Spring Village
Sunset Beach & the famous Atlantus shipwreck

And when you're ready to escape the crowds, come back to your own private Backyard Oasis. The backyard is where your summer vacation really comes to life.

Take a refreshing swim in the custom inground saltwater pool, relax on the outdoor sectional, fire up the gas grill for dinner, or let the kids run and play in the large private fenced-in yard.

Challenge the family to a game of cornhole, enjoy dinner together on the patio, or simply sit back and enjoy the sounds of summer.

After a day at the beach, the oversized enclosed outdoor shower makes rinsing off the sand easy—and there's plenty of room to get the kids cleaned up, too.

Comfortable One-Story Living

Backyard Oasis is a fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-family home designed with families and multiple generations in mind.

Because everything is on one level, there's no need to worry about stairs when you're traveling with children, grandparents, or anyone who simply prefers easy, convenient living.

The split-bedroom layout provides an extra level of privacy that families and groups love. The king master suite is located on a separate side of the home from the other two bedrooms, giving parents or couples their own peaceful retreat while keeping the additional bedrooms together on the opposite side.

The open-concept living area brings everyone together, with a comfortable sectional sofa, dining table and breakfast bar all within sight of one another.

And after a full day of summer fun, everyone can settle into our extremely comfortable beds with deep luxury mattresses for a great night's sleep.

Sleeping accommodations for up to 9 guests are available depending on the adult/child combination. We prioritize a comfortable sleeping arrangement for everyone and reserve the right to determine appropriate occupancy.

Pack Less. Vacation More.

We've stocked Backyard Oasis with the essentials you'll need to settle in and start enjoying your vacation.

Bed linens and bath towels are provided, so you don't have to fill the car with bulky items. Just bring your clothes, pool/beach towels, and your favorite vacation attitude!

Don't Miss the Sunsets

One of the things that makes The Villas special is its location along the Delaware Bay. The bay is only a few blocks away, making it easy to enjoy the shoreline during the day and return for spectacular sunsets in the evening.

Grab a chair, take a short walk, and watch the sun disappear across the horizon. It's one of those simple Jersey Shore moments you'll remember long after your vacation is over.

Walk to Local Favorites

You don't have to get in the car for everything. From the house, you can walk to mini golf, ice cream, coffee, delis and local restaurants.

Spend the day exploring Cape May County, then come home to a quieter neighborhood where you can relax and enjoy your own private space.

Your Summer Vacation Starts Here

Whether you're planning a family beach week, a multigenerational getaway, or simply want a relaxing Jersey Shore vacation with your own private pool, Backyard Oasis gives you the best of both worlds:

Close to Cape May and the Wildwoods.
* Minutes from the bay
* Your own private pool
* Your own fenced backyard
* Your own place to relax

Come for the beaches. Stay for the sunsets. Make Backyard Oasis your home base for Summer 2027!

Lovely comfortable home

This home was very clean and comfortable. Very nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with just about everything we needed. The outdoor space with the pool, grill and pool toys and bikes made the outdoor space perfect for the children and adults in our party. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, with Cape May attractions within 15-20 minutes. A couple of blocks away from the bay and beautiful sunsets!

Family Vacation

Overall, the property was meticulously taken care of and very clean. The property had all amenities that were needed for a week long vacation. The sizes of bedrooms were perfect size, the kitchen was stocked with all items needed, the backyard was an added bonus to the beautiful property. The property is a short walk to a coffee shop as well as an ice cream Shop and mini golf course. The beach is about a one minute drive to the most serene beautiful spot to enjoy! Your stay in this property will be unmatched!

We are so glad your family enjoyed your stay at Backyard Oasis! We were very appreciative of the stellar condition you left the home in for the next family (the cleaners sent us pics of how neatly organized the sheets and towels were for them to launder!) It was also very kind of you to let us know about the 2 packages that arrived during your stay and that you kept them secure for us. We were happy to offer your family the option to check-in 1 night early so you didn't have to 'try' and find a hotel for that first night. Thank you kindly for the wonderful review - we tried to think of everything guests might need. Hope to see you again next summer, Michelle & Matt p.s. it looks like my review of you for "house rules" is only 4 stars but I put 5. I will try to get that fixed by VRBO.

The house is beautifully decorated and well stocked. We have stayed in the Villas a few years now and really enjoyed this house. The pool was a bonus this year which allowed our stay to be even more enjoyable. As a host, Michelle was very responsive and a clear communicator. Upon checking the beds did not have sheets on them, not expected, but we found the sheets. Upon mentioning it to Michelle, she immediately apologized and let me know that was an oversight on the cleaning person's side.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle & Matt Dunphy

Host profile image
We work together in the healthcare industry as consultants with a focus on helping Veterans - our nation's heroes. We enjoy travel -especially cruising and a good beach day.

Why they chose this property

Our family has enjoyed visiting Cape May County for many years. Matt grew up spending summers in the Villas and in 2020, we were blessed to realize our dream of owning a Jersey shore home.

What makes this property unique

The central location of the Villas and the small-town feel. Everything you need is close by - many places in walking distance, including the Delaware Bay. Our home offers visitors a true oasis from the crowds and congestion. The large welcoming backyard and inground pool will allow your family can truly relax while on vacation at the Jersey shore.
