About this property

This well maintained vacation home is furnished in a charming seaside décor, newer flooring throughout and is located only 2 1/2 blocks from the bay beach & Harpoon's on the Bay Restaurant. The comfortable living room has a 48" tv and queen size sleeper sofa, the primary bedroom has a king size bed and 32" tv. The well-equipped kitchen and comfortable dining room are some of the features that offer guests an enjoyable vacation experience.

A finished basement is a bonus offering an additional 800 sq ft of living space. The nautical themed man/kid cave features a family room, tv, poker/game table and laundry area. The fenced-in backyard is beautifully landscaped for privacy and has a furnished patio area, deck for al fresco dining, enclosed shower and gas grill. A shed is available for securing beach gear, bikes, and more.

The residential community of North Cape May draws less crowds than many of the popular shore towns. Parking is plentiful and non-metered. The sandy beaches and gentle waves of the bay are especially nice for families with small children. The neighborhood atmosphere is perfect for bike riding, jogging, surf fishing or simply enjoying the magnificent sunsets.

We are located only a 1/2 mile from the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, a 10 min drive to Cape May and a 15 min drive to Wildwood. Cape May has fabulous restaurants and historic sightseeing. The Wildwoods have huge beaches and a 2 mile boardwalk with food, games, amusements, water parks and a tram-car.

Fabulous Property

My husband, two small children and I had a fabulous stay here. The property had everything we needed for a fun beach vacation. The short walk to the bay was ideal for our two young children and the bay was great for them (much calmer than the ocean). We would love to stay here again!

Great location!

Property was clean and very close to the bay beach. We neglected to bring our own sheets but made due for the night. So convenient to the bay beach for a walk in the morning, or to watch the sunset. The passes Denise provided for the Cape May beach were much appreciated too!

Quiet and peaceful getaway

Beautiful beach house

Denise's place was fantastic, exactly as described. Place was extremely clean and very well maintained, all of the kitchen essentials were provided, couches and beds were comfortable, outdoor area was spacious and well maintained. Denise even provided a goodie bag with trash bags, dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent pods and some snacks. Perfect location close to bay beach (2 blocks, easily walkable) and Denise even provide 6 beach tags to the Cape May beach only a short drive away. The basement was a huge bonus, large room with sectional couch, tv, card table, and beds for extra sleeping space! Denise's place exceeded my expectations and I plan on booking again in the future if available!

Comfortable house in perfect location

This was our second time staying at this property, and, just like the first time, it was wonderful. The house is clean, well-equipped (especially the kitchen!), and cozy, combining the coastal vacation feel with the comforts of a home. Whether watching movies on the many TVs while lounging on the roomy couches or hanging out on the back patio (with new furniture), staying home was almost as much fun as being at the beach - which is never crowded, filled with sea creatures (fishing was very productive) and only 2 blocks away. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing for families with kids. The host was (again) very responsive and accommodating, though we (again) didn't have any issues. Would gladly come back.

Best location!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at the shore. The location of this cottage cannot be beat! Super easy walk to the beach, which was perfect for our little ones with the smaller waves. Our little ones loved searching for and catching ghost crabs on the beach at night and the neighborhood was so quiet, with zero traffic. I cannot recommend this cottage enough! We definitely hope to be back!

A very comfy house, very close to the beach

We really enjoyed staying here. The house is very cozy, bright, well-organized and well-equipped - and only a 5-min leisurely walk to the beach (and to Harpoons on the Bay.) The downstairs area is large and provides a lot of extra room (and games) for kids to play. The plants in the garden smell really nice when sitting on the back deck. It's a quiet neighborhood and the beach was never too crowded. The host is very responsive and helpful - though we didn't really need much during our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Terrific Experience (Again)

This was my family's second time staying here. (Please see my review from a year ago for more detail.) We love the property and the neighborhood. The house is VERY clean, especially when you consider it is used as a summer rental. We felt very much at home there. It is nicely stocked and we never felt we were missing anything. When I asked Denise if she had a cooler for the beach, she made sure to drop one off before our arrival. The house is conveniently located within North Cape May and a quick drive to other nearby attractions. I look forward to returning to NCM again. Such nice family memories at this house.

Home away from home!

This was our second time at this property and we absolutely loved it! The house is warm and inviting and VERY comfortable. The location is ideal, only a short walk to the bay and a 10 minute drive to downtown Cape May. The house is also on the same street as Harpoons on the Bay one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Denise the owner provided beach tags, chairs, beach carts and an umbrella for our days at the beach which was really convenient! The property is well manicured and the back deck was a perfect spot for morning coffee! The finished basement allowed our teen and preteen to have their space while we chilled upstairs. It was ideal! We definitely will be back.

Loved our stay!

We enjoyed our stay here! The house was very clean, air conditioning was plentiful, and it provided everything we needed. The bay beach is nice and perfect for the little ones. We also spent a lot of time in Wildwood (15-20 min away) and downtown Cape May (10 min away), but it was nice to come back to a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed relaxing on the Adirondack chairs and having an enclosed backyard for the kids to run around in. Highly recommend!

Terrific Experience

There has not been a review of Denise’s North Cape May cottage posted in a couple of years, so I figured I would provide an updated one… Our stay at Denise’s Cottage by the Bay was excellent and exceeded expectations. The photos on the listing were an accurate representation of the accommodations, which does not always happen when you book on-line. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and kitchenware. There was never a moment where we felt we were missing something, which was convenient. The king is bed was comfortable, and I am fairly particular with that. The BBQ worked well, AC was strong, the shower had good pressure, and the outdoor shower was a plus. The carpet that runs throughout seems to be new. Denise was easy to work with. When the cable box had an issue when we arrived, she had the cable company remotely send a refresh signal to fix the problem. When the beach cart had a broken wheel and laundry detergent ran out, she ordered replacements from Amazon that arrived the next day. My family has been visiting Cape May yearly for many years, always staying in hotels & BnBs downtown. So we were initially hesitant about being on the bay side in North Cape May, but we were thoroughly impressed with the neighborhood. The cottage was an easy walk to the beach as advertised, and the beach was quite nice and not crowded. The bay beach was especially well suited for a small child due to the calm waves. The neighborhood consists of well-maintained houses, and the people are welcoming. Even the wild rabbits that roamed the neighborhood seemed friendly! And the sunsets were truly the best we have seen since Hawaii. A plus is that the house is on the same road as Harpoons, which is a lively beachfront restaurant with good food. Just as an added hint, to save time we pre-ordered groceries at the Acme which is 5 minutes away. I look forward to returning to NCM.

Clean, well-laid out, everything you would need for a beach area stay.

Very nicely outfitted small home with everything you could need provided. Very quiet neighborhood, although that may be different during the height of the summer. Short walk to beach, beautiful sunsets on that side of Cape May over Delaware Bay. Good proximity to supermarket and eateries, and a short drive to historic Cape May.

Nice , comfortable & quiet place to vaca...

My wife & I enjoyed our stay here. The house felt like home to us. There was pretty much all you would need @ the house, just bring your clothes & food & beverage supplies. The beach was close by (walkable) & very nice . We stayed the last week of 8/18 , plenty of room to relax on the beach. Harpoons on the Bay , across from the beach , was our go to place, but going into Cape May proper was just a short ride , which we did many times. We felt close to everything , but still far enough away from the hubbub.
