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. (Beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, swim noodles and beach buckets 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.

This was a lovely cottage. We enjoyed staying there and looking for all the mermaids. We would recommend it highly to another small group. Enjoyed Stone Harbor and Cape May. Had a great meal locally at Jake's! And we would definitely recommend the ice cream place on Bay Shore Drive! Thanks for the opportunity to share your delightful home in this quiet neighborhood!

First time Villas stay

Small, clean and quiet cottage that has nice amenities available. Safe neighborhood as well. Be sure to take the short walk to the bay for the beautiful sunsets and a short drive to local businesses for coffee, ice cream and dinner. Thank you, Kimberly, for a lovely stay. Would recommend. Took approx 16-18 minutes to drive to Cape May.

This house was perfect for our family of four! The home was exceptionally clean and well stocked and was the perfect spot for our stay in Cape May. We loved that we were a short walk to the beach and could easily come back to the house for a pit stop. 15 minutes from Washington Square and nearby to great restaurants as well! Excellent communication from our host when we had a few questions about the area! If we visit Cape May again, this is where we will stay!

Adorable cottage

We had a lovely mini stay! Having never been to Cape May, we chose the mermaid cottage because of its location. I’m so glad we did! It was perfect! The beach (a few steps away) was lovely and quiet. The home itself was perfect for our family. It had plenty of seating and comfy beds. We spent so much time on the screened in porch. It was fabulous!
