Pets OK, Cape May Bay magnificent sunsets, quiet, kick back and relax.

Looking for quiet, quaint, cozy look no further. Kick back relax, enjoy nature/native surroundings. Our cottage located in an ole fishing village kinda stepping back in time,. Our cottage is one floor with an open floor plan, the central air and ceiling fans throughout the house keeping it cool.. Sleeping is quite comfortable with newer queen/full size mattresses. The master bedroom is next to the bathroom, the guest or 2nd bedroom is at the other end of the house. The living room has bamboo love seat, bamboo sofa, and a swivel bamboo chair. The kitchen fully equipped a crock pot, microwave, dishwasher, toaster,double door frig unfortunately doesn't make ice, has trays, an island with 3 stools, plus a dining area seating 4 ppl.. A highchair/crib on the premixes. We literally are 95 steps to the bay/beach, free parking, no beach tags required and gentle for tots. Dogs permitted before 11 and after pm. We are most likely the southerly location having spectacular sunsets/ fewer crowds. If you never seen horseshoe crabs their (harmless) FYI August is their mating time, the beach becomes inundated by them.. They existed 445 million years and are "living fossils"unchanged. Mating season many get stranded/stuck on the beach unable to return to the sea, eventually the tide remove them. They look tank like with crab like appendages. If your into nature like myself then check out these amazing arthropods that predate dinosaurs.

Cape May/Wild-wood famous boardwalk is only 15 min away. Historic Cape May has the twinkling gaslights, Victorian homes adorned with holiday lights, quaint shops, and historic trolley rides transforms this elegant seaside resort town into a Charles Dickens village. If you 're looking to capture the spirit depending on time of year than join us as we experience the turn of the century splendor of Cape May, New Jersey Delaware Bay beaches. Bay beaches are free, if visiting the ocean side Wild-wood and Cape May badges/paid parking are required. I prefer coming after the Summer, September through December are best times in my opinion with all the festivals/Christmas house tours.
My yard partially protected by Wildlife refuge, so we keep it natural to support native wildlife. It's very private and tranquil adorned with natures lush shade trees/shrubs a cooling backdrop during bright days. It's partially sectioned off for wildlife, prickly cactus, bunnies/birds so indeed a sanctioned habitat. Guests are restricted in that area, however you are welcome using the rear patio fire pit..and anywhere there isn't cactus activity.
Last minute essentials needed only 5 minuets for Groceries, Dollar Store nearby, Big Lots, Acme, Ship-Rite, try Fish and fancy by local fishermen, eat in or take out plus many ethnic restaurants. Check out the brochures for things to do and see. My fav beach is in Town-bank area 15 min drive or near the Ferry, lots of parking, pavilion/bathrooms. Google Cape May Ferry for directions. Treat yourself to Historic Cape May, take tours/trolley loads of shopping Washington Street Mall (15 min) away are antique shops, gift shops, boutiques, etc.
