About this property

Bay Block Retreat – Pet-Friendly Fun for Families, Couples & Girls’ Getaways

Welcome to the Bay Block Retreat in the charming Townbank area of North Cape May—a cozy, laid-back getaway just steps from the peaceful Delaware Bay. This inviting home is designed for families, couples, and pet lovers who want comfort, convenience, and those unforgettable Cape May sunsets right at the end of the street.

When you arrive, you’re greeted with a personal welcome note and a complimentary bottle of wine—your vacation officially begins. Inside, the home offers a spotless, comfortable setting perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

Start your mornings with coffee on the patio while kids and pups play safely in the fenced backyard. The bay beach is just a short stroll away—ideal for paddleboarding, kayaking, long walks, or simply soaking in the calm water views.

Afternoons are made for discovering the area’s wineries, breweries, and charming local spots, or returning home to fire up the Weber grill for a casual family dinner. If you’d like to elevate your experience, private wine tastings are available for an additional fee, led by host Debbie Gioquindo, a Certified Specialist of Wine, Wine Location Specialist in Port and Champagne, and Certified Sherry Wine Specialist.

Evenings wind down beautifully here—think sunset strolls, streaming movies on the 60” smart TV, or sharing a playlist over high-speed Wi-Fi. And after a day of Cape May adventures, the cozy bedrooms and refreshing outdoor shower offer the perfect reset.

Please note: Renters must provide their own bed linens, comforters, pillows, and towels.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Gioquindo

Host profile image
I've been coming down here since the late 1980's when I met my husband staying at his parents home not to far from this home. My kids grew up coming down here every summer.

Now we live here year round. Moved here from the Hudson Valley region of New York in 2013. I am a wine blogger and educator known as The Hudson Valley Wine Goddess. So I can give you some good wine suggestions.

I love it down here. There's nothing like the beach there is so much to do and see. My kids grew up coming down here, so we've done everything from the adult thing to the kid thing to the local thing.

In 2021 we opened a restaurant in North Wildwood called Trio North Wildwood. We invite all our guests to the restaurant during their stay.

Why they chose this property

One of the most important considerations for us was that the house we purchase had to be within one block from the bay. There is nothing like walking down to the bay to kayak, paddle board and then later in the day with a glass of wine to watch the sunset. We've made Cape May our home, we want you to make it your home for a week.

What makes this property unique

Just steps from the bay beach. This home was built in 2008 and was barely lived in. We pride ourselves giving you a nice vacation home to make wonderful memories in.

Every guest receives a nice bottle of wine and a 20% off discount to dine at Trio North Wildwood
