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.

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

Beautifully and tastefully decorated!! Very clean, even to my standards! Which is pretty high, bit of a clean freak here. We loved hanging out in the screened porch area and playing corn hole in the yard. We also enjoyed taking a bike ride around the neighborhood and loved the private beach setting. Very relaxing stay.

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 had a wonderful time at Mermaid Cottage! Kimberly was very easy to communicate with and made check in/out a breeze. The location was PERFECT! We had our two boys (7 and 8 months old) with us. The beach was a short walk, the water was nice and calm (perfect for young children) and the backyard was a nice size to play some lawn games. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

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!

The Mermaid Cottage was clean and comfortable with lots of amenities and great attention to detail. Slept our party of 5 comfortably and location was convenient. Kimberly was a great host and easy to deal with. We had a great stay.

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.

Ideal location walking distance to the bay, which is great for small children given the gentle shore and waves. The cottage had all the necessities and many nice to have amenities! Host was very communicative.

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.

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!

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.

This was the perfect house for my young kids, husband and myself. Everything was clean and neat and everything needed was right there. Hoping we can get back again when my oldest doesn’t have a broken leg so we can enjoy the beach more

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.

This mermaid cottage was exactly what was advertised! True to the theme, we appreciated the space, decor, amenities, and thought that went into creating such a space. Thank you for an amazing stay!!

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.

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely stay again.

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!

My family and I had a nice week here! It was so clean and cute and a quick walk to the beach, perfect for traveling with kids. Kimberly was very responsive and made the stay easy. Would recommend!

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 location and size for small family of three! Super clean and host was accommodating and easy to communicate with!

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.
10.0
Our family had an amazing time in the Mermaid Cottage. It is exactly as it is listed. Very comfortable and clean. The included linens and towels made the ease of the stay absolutely fantastic. The easy beach access and daily sunsets are priceless. The bikes were a great bonus to ride for bagels in the morning or just for a quick roll through the streets. One thing to be aware of is that (at least in late May) the bay water is filled with jelly fish. Our young daughter got stung each time she got in the water, so we just stopped going in the water. But there's plenty of sandcastle building fun and shell/rock hunting to be done on the beach as well.
Many other Cape May attractions like the lighthouse, Cape May city, the state park, wineries are 6 miles or less away. The cottage also has really easy access to plenty of restaurants. We tried Jake's, Castaways and the local deli with the "#1 potato salad" as well as Bravado bagels. Of those, Jake's was our favorite, but there's lots of options -- lots of ice cream shops within walking distance too.
Overall, Kimberly is a wonderful host and we WILL DEFINITELY book at this location again. It was hard to leave and we can't wait to come back!
