About this property

Located just steps from the bay, where you can watch some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world, we are just a short drive from both Victorian Cape May and The Wildwoods.

There is plenty of fishing, water sports, award winning beaches, great dining, and family fun, all within minutes.

Our 450 sq. ft. cottage features two bedrooms, two full baths, outside shower, central air, eat in kitchen, and a separate large sun room with TV, dining table, and sofa bed. Perfect for the smaller family.

You'll love morning walks along the dog friendly bay beach, or if you prefer, Wildwood's beaches are free and tags are provided for Cape May beach. There is plenty of room for barbecuing in the back yard or to just relax and enjoy the breezes.

Other area attractions include Victorian Cape May, whale and dolphin watching, shopping at the Washington St. Mall, several wineries, and the Cape May brewery. Not to mention some of the best taverns and restaurants at the Jersey shore. Add to that the world famous Wildwood Boardwalk, and you have a recipe for great family fun.

Jump on the ferry and spend the day visiting historic Lewes Delaware or nearby Rehoboth beach. Whatever you like best about the Jersey shore you are within striking distance of. All while being nestled in a quiet family neighborhood.

Our Second Stay

We enjoyed our second stay at Sunset Cottage. The place is very comfortable and the perfect size for the three of us. The screen house was my hangout at night... so quiet and peaceful. The front deck is a great addition, and another place to relax and have coffee or read. And the location is also perfect... so close to everything, and only a mile from Fleck's Ice Cream. ☺️

Cute place in a great location

A clean, well-maintained house just a few minutes’ walk from a calm, quiet beach! Also no more than a 15 minute drive to most Cape May area attractions, and the property has plenty to do for the times you want to stay in a bit. Highly recommended!

Wonderful cottage by the bay

Our stay was wonderful. The house was close enough to walk down to the bay for the best sunsets. Very close to everything. Our check in went as planned and we were very happy with the house and the sunroom was just perfect if we needed it. I would definitely rent this house again. Maryanne G.

Another Great Stay

The cottage is so close to the beach. It’s nice to be able to walk to the beach in less than 5 minutes. The cottage is clean and cozy. This is our second year that we stayed at the cottage and it’s because Vicki is so easy to deal with. Thank you again Vicki for a great week at your cottage!

We want to stay longer!

We absolutely love the sunset cottage by the bay! This was our 5th stay here since 2016, and we love it more each time. I always seem to overpack and forget all of the amenities the owners have thought of. It truly is a home away from home. We love that our small elderly dog can come with us to make memories as a full family. He enjoys going to visit the bay. There are so many great restaurants and things to do in the area, we can never seem to fit in everything we want to do into a week. We would love to stay even longer. Thank you Vicki and Bill for opening up your home to us!

We had a great time staying here and the place was so clean and nicely decorated. It had everything we needed and is such a short walk to the bay and everyone we met in the neighborhood was so friendly! Short drive to Cape May and Wildwood. Would definitely stay here again!

3rd stay and we’re ready to return, again!

We just returned from our third weeklong stay at this adorable home in Villas. It’s so meticulously maintained, it almost feels like no one else stays here in between our visits. It was my dad’s first time staying here with us, and he appreciated how quiet the neighborhood is, how comfortable the bed and furnishings are, and how easy the house is to keep clean. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Beautiful Cottage on the Bay

Our stay was great. We were traveling with our toddler and the place is perfect for a small family. We thankfully didn’t have any rainy days, but there is a detached sunroom that we could have used if we had to entertain ourselves inside. The house included everything we needed…I could have left some stuff at home. The area is very nice and quiet. It was a short walk to the bay, which works well with little kids in tow. Swimming is almost as good as the ocean beach at high tide, but becomes a bit too shallow in this area at low tide. No worries, because low tide reveals all the snails and hermit crabs to keep the kids busy.

Great Stay

We have always stayed at the Crest for many years and decided to try something different. I am so glad we did. The cottage was so close to the beach, Immaculate, and the beach wasn’t crowed. Vicki was great to work with. We will be back next year!

Perfect little cottage by the beach

This was the perfect little cottage for our family to spend a week in Villas. It had everything we needed and was so close to the bayside beach!! We personally prefer quaint and quiet, so our preference is staying bayside. We do also like occasional day trips oceanside (for restaurants, shopping, activities, visiting different beaches, etc.), so it was great being only a short car ride away with beach tags available for a our use. The cottage is well appointed and tastefully decorated. The wraparound porch is great for reading a book with your morning coffee. We also loved having an outdoor shower when we came back from the beach. We didn’t use the sunroom much, due to the hot weather, but we did spend a few evenings in there playing board games. It’s kind of fun that it’s a separate space! It was also really convenient to have two full baths, plus access to laundry and a vacuum cleaner. If you have friends or family staying in another one of the many little cottages nearby, like we did, it’s also a safe and easily walkable neighborhood. If you want a little exercise, you can even walk to some of the ice cream shops or mini golf on Bayshore Road.

Great Week at Sunset Cottage!

I really loved this property and the neighborhood. The rooms are small in the main cottage but just what we needed. We do not usually unpack on vacation (we tend to live out of suitcases), but not having space to leave the suitcases out forced us to unpack — which was really a blessing because we felt more at home. The super-smart dresser and under-bed storage was more than enough for our belongings. We loved that it had two bathrooms (with showers!) plus an outdoor shower. The detached bonus room in the backyard was a literal bonus and allowed our two teenagers to each have their own spaces; 1 slept in the 2nd bedroom in the main house and the other slept in the bonus room. We couldn’t use the bonus room during the day (the AC cannot be run in the daytime because it cannot keep up with the summer sunshine), but that really wasn’t an issue because we were out and about most days; at night, it was the perfect place for my almost 18-year old to play video games and sleep. We had several little questions throughout our stay and the owners were very responsive and helpful. We loved the one-block walk to the bay for morning walks and beautiful sunsets. The neighborhood was quiet and also had conveniences (restaurants, wawa, groceries) nearby. We were also grateful for the included Cape May beach tags. I would absolutely rent this property again — loved it!

Great spot for small family

House was clean and comfortable! Newly updated. Steps from the bay, can't beat the sunsets. Near all the amenities but peaceful at night. We had a great time. The small sunroom does get hot during the day but just have to work around that and use at night.

Amazing sunset cottage! We'll definitely return!

We had a wonderful family vacation at this summer cottage. Highlights: 1) Cleanliness is very important to us and this place was super clean. Very happy with the cleaniness. 2) The sunroom is great! We watched movies and ate at the dining table. Also, my husband was able to go there to get some remote work done. 3) Beach is so close to the house and, when the weather cooperated, we were able to see some gorgeous sunsets (and even dolphins!) 4) Vicki and William were very quick to respond to any questions. 5) Cottage was close to great restaurants/ice cream parlors, Cape May beach, Wildwood beach, and Cape May Zoo (which is free) 6) We will definitely be returning to this cottage in the future!
