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.

Bravado Coffee Cafe, ice cream parlors and pizza only a couple of blocks away.

Family vacation at the beach!
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!

Awesome place!
This house is the perfect location, about a 2 minute walk to the bay. The house is small and cozy and perfect for a small family or two couples! We enjoyed the convenience items/linens provided. My only complaint was a few hairs in the bathtub and sand spurs in the carpets when we arrived. The sand spurs were difficult to remove and we were traveling with a baby so that was a stressor. Otherwise our stay was amazing and Kimberly was very helpful and quick with communication! We would stay again

The Mermaid Cottage is everything you’d ever want for a beach vacation! The most important part of any stay for us is always cleanliness and spotless is an understatement!! With young children it was such a relief to not worry about them playing throughout the house. The listing is true to every word! From the kitchen essentials, to the bikes, clean grill, and other fun surprises, it was above and beyond our expectations! Kimberly was extremely responsive and provided us with everything we needed ahead of and during our stay. I truly can’t say enough about the Mermaid Cottage and we will absolutely be coming back!!

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.

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!

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!

Girls Getaway to Explore Cape May!
Communication with the host was great right off the bat, very nice and responsive! Check out instructions were very clear and posted in multiple places in relation to the task being asked to complete before check out. The mermaid cottage was just as described upon arrival. Upon entering we were greeted by a nice welcome message that had your name written on the chalk board to welcome you during your stay! This was a very thoughtful and personable touch, and made us feel greatly welcomed upon arrival. The mermaid cottage was very clean upon arrival and of course had many mermaid decorations, which added a really fun touch to our stay and experience of Cape May. The cottage fit five people perfectly, everyone had their own beds and did not feel cramped. We really enjoyed the screened in patio, as it was a nice way to enjoy fresh air without the worry of bugs in the evening time. The location was perfect!! It was just a short drive away from the main town and many of the beaches. The cottage was also VERY close the bayside beach, which was easily accessible by foot! I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking to explore all that Cape May has to offer, as it is close to a lot of the Cape May attractions, yet far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Mermaid cottage is great. We’ve stayed now two years in a row and will plan to return next summer. Good communication with host. Tip: the basket on the green bike perfectly holds a coffee tray from bravado coffee, so it’s possible for one person to ride bike to Bravado and bring back coffee for more than one person.
