About this property

BEACH FRONT COTTAGE - Pet Friendly Beach with fenced in yard!! $150 pet fee.

This cottage is a beach front property on the corner of Shore Road and Race Track Drive in historic Townbank. This setting offers such a perfect beach stay you will want to return year after year! Whether you are looking for a family vacation, couple's retreat or simply to reconnect with a group of friends, this property is equipped and located to provide wonderful memories that will last your lifetime.

This is a two bedroom, one full bath home, which comfortably sleeps six, offers an amazing view above the dunes from the sun room for daily dolphin and sunset watching. Townbank is known for spectacular sunset viewing.. People come from all around just to watch the grand colors provided nightly as the sun sinks slowly into the horizon over the water. Staying here ensures you the premium, unobstructed view of this daily event from both inside the home or the fenced in yard at no additional cost!

The home has air conditioning window units, however guests equally enjoy opening the many windows to fully experience the ocean breeze, peaceful lapping waves and sea gulls beckoning you to enjoy your day on the quiet, non-crowded beach which awaits just outside your door. This area is perfect for strolling about on the beach (no beach tags required!) or biking along the safe shore road that runs directly in front of the cottage.

The Cape May-Lewis Ferry is just over a mile down the road. If you want to hit the boardwalk at night, Cape May is 10 minutes by car and Wildwood is close. Nearby there are wineries, shops, galleries and gourmet restaurants. Harpoons on the Bay (formerly Harpoon Henry's), a beach front restaurant and tiki bar, is just a few blocks walk down the road and a great place to dine in a Key-West type environment if you aren't in the mood to cook! You can have a few drinks and simply walk home; no need to worry about driving! A quick trip to the market is only a few minutes by car. Major highways are accessible just outside of town, yet traffic is not a problem while staying in Townbank. The “small town feel” is comforting while strolling or biking throughout the town.

The house is comfortably furnished for your enjoyment and offers updated kitchen appliances, two bedrooms plus additional sleeping on a large sofa.. The eat in kitchen comfortably seats six and offers views directly out the sliding glass doors. The grand deck offers relaxing seating while overlooking the water, or just a place to hang-out and watch the dolphins or sunsets.

The cottage sits in a large, white picket fenced in yard and offers plenty of space for outdoor fun. Beach access is simply through the gate, down the short, gently sloping dune and you are on our quiet, peaceful, non-crowded beach. It's easy to go back and forth from your “beach camp” to access a snack, drink or the bathroom as you enjoy the tranquil setting of what seems to be a private beach.
I have chosen native landscaping that provides food and shelter for wild life.. Rather than tearing down this old beach house I Have decided to maintain it. Most guests appreciate the cozy comfortable nature of this home. I don't want you to be disappointed, if you prefer brand new, concrete and bright lights , Atlantic City would be better for you.
Booking your vacation couldn't be simpler! Check our calendar for availability and rates that are extremely reasonable for beach front property.

Perfect Location, As Always
This was my 6th or 7th (I've lost track) annual July stay and I'm still in love. Early morning dolphin & osprey watching on the deck, gorgeous sunsets just a step away every evening, and all in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood. True that it would benefit from a little TLC, but I'm not a perfectionist, I still find it charming. It's clean, comfortable, and well stocked for a vacation stay. See you next year!

Needs TLC
This property is as poorly maintained on the inside as it is on the outside. It's really overgrown and appears neglected on the outside. The inside is old and infested with ants. There was a stain on the chair in the family room that looked like poop. No W/D and having to bring ur own sheets is outrageous for 375.00/night. It is desperately in need of both an overhaul and price reduction.

We loved every minute of our short stay here. The view was just as pictured. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. The biking was lovely. The beach was secluded yet provided wonderful ambiance. It was a short drive to Cape May Winery which was a treat! Hopefully we will return some day ~ Thank you!

If you are looking for fancy and modern, this is not the place. BUT if you are looking for comfortable, dog friendly and gorgeous sunsets, then rent this place! Bay beach right across the street, sunsets can't be beat. Dogs loved the yard and were obsessed with the bunnies in the adjoining yard! Will definitely rent again. Gary was easy to work with and answered my emails immediately,

Great Vacation spot!!
My family and I loved spending 4 days at this cottage. It was very peaceful and beautiful. The deck overlooking the beach was the best part, we barely left it. The sunsets at nighttime were picture perfect. The owners were very responsive if we had any questions. The yard was big enough for our pup to enjoy her time and she loved it. It was so nice to have her with us. Definitely recommended.

Beautiful location
We enjoyed our time here. The property is in the most incredible location to take in the beauty of the area. We ended up buying an air mattress because the full bed mattress was uncomfortable. There was some dog hair on the furniture and blankets, but the house felt clean overall. I would absolutely recommend this rental to anyone. We're grateful for the time we spent here as a family!

Amazing Location!
We came for a long weekend stay. The location was amazing! You could be in the ocean within 5 minutes of walking out the door. The house is in a residental neighborhood so there isn't much noise at night. The landscaping was great! We saw so many birds and rabbits which was really nice. The back porch was amazing! We spent every evening out there watching the sun go down. The ocean is really gentle at that beach and we didn't have to worry about our kids with the waves. We would love to rebook in the future!

Unbelievable location, house was rough
The house, as promised, was rustic. It's old and kinda rough, but I wasn't surprised bc that was discussed in all the comments. The LOCATION was spectacular and we were surrounded by million dollar homes. The beach was steps away and there were NO CROWDS. To stand alone on a beach in Cape May in the middle of July just blew me away. As far as the house, the bathroom was very clean, the kitchen was somewhat clean, the bedrooms were fine and the yard was rough. I don't mind the overgrowth but all the broken furniture in the pile on the deck and the rusty bikes just all should have been removed. The carpets were gross, the place smelled pretty bad but we febreezed a lot and opened windows. We will definetly come back to Town Bank but we'll pay a little more to stay at a cleaner place. All said, I feel very lucky to have found this rental (it fit our budget), it introduced us to North Cape May and gave us the opportunity to see what else is out there. Gary did not overpromise, we got exactly what he said. Overall we had a fantastic vacation and we fell in love with the area.

Beautiful town and location
You can not beat this location, the town, beach, and people were amazing. Gary was helpful and communicated well. The place itself is older which has it's charms, a few upgrades would make it a gem. My only concern was the heating grate in the middle of the living room floor. We have a 4yo and 1.5yo and of course that was a novelty and telling them not to touch it, don't put your fingers in it, don't drop anything into it got old really fast. I did not know that was there and maybe a coffee table over it when not in use would be helpful. Otherwise we enjoyed our trip and would come back.

About the host

Hosted by PROWE Enterprises

Host profile image
My name is Gary Prowe and I am an avid outdoor lover of fishing, beach combing, botany, gardening, bird watching and gardening. I purchased this over-sized lot many years ago for the enjoyment of my family and decided it would be wonderful to share with beach lovers like myself, looking for an affordable, family beach front vacation stay.

Why they chose this property

Cottage is located directly overlooking beach, above the dunes and within walking distance to dining, entertainment and the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. Nearby beaches, such as Cape May and Wildwood offer boardwalks for your amusement pleasure!

Everyone deserves to experience life on a beach at least once in their lifetime!

What makes this property unique

This is a beach front cottage located in the peaceful area of historic Townbank. The Townbank community is bayside of Cape May and is known as Sunset Beach. Every evening at sunset, people gather to sit on the beach and enjoy the spectacular event of watching the sun sink slowly into the horizon over the water! Our cottage has a deck that sits high above the dunes and allows you to enjoy unobstructed views !
