Enjoy incredibly beautiful year-round panoramic views- right from the renovated kitchen and great room. Or hang out on the balcony- this house sits right on the beach/water, with a front row seat to the Delaware Bay and its ecosystem. Home to the best sunsets on earth! Popular spot for kayaking, paddle boarding, and birding. Since this is a shared triplex in a quiet residential community, it is suited to kind & quiet groups. 15-20 minute drive to Cape May and Wildwood beaches and boardwalks! The space THE AREA. This 4br 2 bath unit sits on the top floor of a triplex, suited for families and quiet and kind groups (there are two fully separate units on first floor). "The Villas" is a small residential Delaware Bay community, 15-20 minutes from Cape May and Wildwood beaches. Although not usually used for swimming, the small bay beach in front of the house is wonderful for walking, fishing, and exploring. There are local places to eat, grab ice cream, rent bikes or paddle boards, etc. Or head into the beach towns of Cape May and Wildwood to swim with lifeguards and surf the real waves. 6 Cape May beach tags available for your use during the summer.. INSIDE. Inside, you can hang out and enjoy the view from two comfy sectionals, a dining table that seats 10, or the breakfast bar with four stools. Big sliding glass doors, screens, and windows everywhere allow you to be “out in nature” even when you’re inside. At high tide, it looks like you’re on the bow of a ship! At low tide, you can walk out on the bay halfway to Delaware (ok not quite that far, but it’s wonderful to feel like you’re standing in the middle of the ocean). May and June bring thousands of horseshoe crabs to lay eggs on the shoreline right in front of the house. The primary bedroom has a new king bed, 2 bedrooms have comfy/newer queen beds, and the fourth has a twin over full bunk. Every bedroom has a water view, but two are quite small, so please pack light! Bed linens and bath towels are included, but please BYO beach towels. Two full baths: one is a tub/shower combo and the other is a glass surround shower. The kitchen and great room were fully renovated in 2021, and the entire unit was newly decorated then too. Fast WiFi and Apple TV (no cable), with a bonus smaller tv in the bunkroom if you want to bring and plug in your gaming system. OUTDOORS. Some beach toys, umbrellas, and many beach chairs are available for use. Outdoor hose/shower, two large picnic tables, comfy seartng, lawn games, and large outdoor grill in side shared yard. LINENS: Bedding and bath towels are provided. This includes sheets, quilts/comforters, washcloths, and bath towels. EV: A Universal Tesla charger is available to guests in any of the units. Seamlessly transitions between NACS and J1772 connectors, accommodating all major North American EVs including Tesla Vehicles. Integrated J1772 adapter to conveniently charge any electric vehicle. Since this charger is open to all, it will require coordination between guests when more than one EV user is staying on the property, but there is no extra usage charge. STAY LENGTH: Summer bookings between mid-June and Labor Day are weekly Sat-Sat rentals unless there are last minute open dates. PARTIES/EVENTS: We are unable to host parties or events, including bachelor/bachelorette weekends, senior weeks, etc. ADDITIONAL UNIT ON PROPERTY: If available, there is an additional 1 bedroom apartment (with its own private bath, living room, kitchen and patio) downstairs- the patio sits right under the deck and also on the beach with similarly gorgeous water views. We offer a 10% discount to anyone also renting upstairs at the same time. Great set-up for extended family members to connect or see each other while still having privacy. You can click on my profile on airbnb to see this listing. STORMS: Please note that since the house is right on the water, storms can be impressively forceful! You may be asked to bring items indoors before severe storms, but we can usually get there to do it or help if needed. We do open the house year-round, but we don’t control the weather! So before booking, please consider how comfortable your group would be with front row seats if there is a storm while you are there. Unfortunately, we cannot refund for poor weather, but we can give you some great rainy day ideas. :) REQUIRED RENTAL AGREEMENT To maintain your reservation, a link to a rental agreement will be sent to you.

Please note, this home is owner-managed and rented out when we aren’t there; it is (sadly!) not a full service hotel with staff. If you’re looking for that kind of service, this probably isn’t the right one for you. But if you’re looking for a lovingly decorated and cared for spot with amazing views in a home where (just like in your home) things may come up that need tending, and you’re open to kindly working with the people who come and try to address any issues, we welcome you! This rental has a patient owner, a local caretaker, and a cleaner who helps care for the property (Jen, Jenn & Michelle). Two of us work full time elsewhere, and we expect people who rent to treat all parties kindly and respectfully. If something breaks or needs addressing during your stay, someone will come out as soon as possible, and their access must be granted. Issues that were reported during the stay are typically addressed within 24-48 hrs. (most are same/next day).
