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.

Another great stay!
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.

Great little cottage!
We had a great stay at Mermaid Cottage. It’s a nice quiet location. The cottage is clean and well-stocked with essentials. We enjoyed the outdoor games and walking to the beach to watch the sunset each evening. My daughter and husband had fun finding and counting all the mermaids throughout the cottage (34)!

Mermaid cottage
Great location near the beach and quiet neighborhood (in mid-May). The owner was very responsive to our requests. Be aware there is no dishwasher and the master bedroom is decidedly cozy for two adults. The owner has done an impressive job with the mermaid theme. This is a very charming vacation rental.

Relaxing, easy beach days
This house was the perfect launch point for our early June vacation on the bay. I jogged each morning on the quiet beach. The neighbors are so friendly, and the beach is very close. Quick drives to Cape May and Wildwoods. We appreciated the screened porch for reading and dining, the bikes, beach towels, and so many beach toys for our son.

Mermaids Have More Fun!
We had the BEST time staying at The Mermaid Cottage. The house is beautiful and clean and fun! My daughter counted 96 mermaids throughout the property:) We were a quick drive to Cape May and loved being just a few steps away from the beach on the bay side. The screened in porch was so nice to play games at night. We'd be so happy to return someday!

Relaxing
My kids and I enjoyed our stay here. It was very clean and well stocked to make some meals at home. The location was a little far from the actual ocean- the nearest beach is actually the bay which was too warm and brown. Ubers weee easy to come by for trips into downtown cape may where parking is pretty tough. Overall the cottage was inviting and comfortable and is great for three to 4 people to comfortably stay.

Perfect for a Girls’ Weekend
The mermaid cottage was absolutely perfect for our annual girls trip. We are III Friends from high school who try to get together once a year. The cottage is sparkling, clean and adorably decorated. It was the perfect size for us with a spectacular beach, a block away. It is in a central location, so we were able to go to Cape May, Wildwood, and up to the zoo at Cape May Courthouse. The owner takes such care to ensure that the cottage is clean, inviting, and accommodating.

Perfect stay at a quiet cottage
Cottage was clean, well decorated with the mermaid theme, & on a quiet road. 2 min walk to the beach! Kids loved going to explore during low tide and was perfect for sunset night swims. The screened in porch was perfect for a rainy day to play games/cards provided. Short 15-20 mins drive to Wildwood beaches with bigger waves that the kids wanted. 2 mile crab restaurant near by & was great atmosphere, service, & on the water. Would recommend this cottage & would stay again in a heart beat!

Beautiful cottage
My family (2 adults, 1 toddler, 1 infant) and I recently stayed at the Mermaid Cottage for a long weekend. It looks exactly as described. We were pleased with how clean it was and all the extras provided (linens, soaps, toys, etc). It had everything we needed and was just a short walk to the Bay which allowed us to bounce back and forth for nap times. My daughter loved all the mermaid decor. I’d definitely recommend the cottage and think my kiddos will enjoy it even more in the future when they can utilize the bunk beds.

Peaceful, relaxing getaway.
The Mermaid cottage is on a quiet street, just a 2 minute walk to the beach on the bay where the sunsets are wonderful to experience. Very clean condition with a nice screened in porch to eat and relax. Kimberly was very responsive to my needs as I had reached out on at least three times during the first two days with questions and she was quick to communicate back to me. My wife and I were very impressed with Kimberly's overall attention to the property. It lived up to the description.

Great Place
This place is small, but perfect. There were four of us...two adults and two kids (3 and 7). The space was super close to the beach, which felt almost private at times it was so quiet. The house is really clean and well maintained. The screened-in porch was a nice place to eat dinner. For those worried about the lack of channels on the TV, the TV does have streaming capability by way of laptop (we connected Netflix from our Mac to the TV really easily). We definitely recommend this place and will be back.

This was our second time staying at the Mermaid Cottage and it was everything we remembered and expected it to be. Kimberly was more than accommodating. This house is cuter than pictured and fully equipped. Honestly, all you have to do is show up. I do have to say, the best part is the beach. Sitting on the beach and watching the sunset was exactly what we all needed. It seems like this is becoming a tradition for my and my friends, so I'm afraid you'll have to put up with us again next year : )
