Looking for quiet, quaint, cozy look no further. Kick back relax, enjoy nature/native surroundings. Our cottage located in an ole fishing village as if stepping back in time, especially these days huge fancy structures taking over. Our beach cottage literally 95 steps to the bay/beach, free parking, no beach tags required here. We are most likely the southerly location having spectacular sunsets, fewer crowds, and gentle waves. If you never seen horseshoe crabs (harmless) than August is their mating time, the beach becomes inundated by them.. They existed 445 million years and are "living fossils"unchanged. During their mating season on the beach many get stranded/stuck on the beach unable to return to the sea. They look tank like with crab like appendages. If your into nature like myself then check out these amazing arthropods that predate dinosaurs.

Cape May is only 15 min away you can find twinkling gaslights, Victorian homes adorned with holiday lights, quaint shops, and historic trolley rides transform this elegant seaside resort town into a Charles Dickens village. If you 're looking to capture the spirit depending on time of year than join us as we experience the turn of the century splendor of Cape May, New Jersey Delaware Bay beaches. Bay beaches are free, if visiting the ocean side Wild-wood and Cape May badges/paid parking are required. I prefer coming after the Summer, September through December are best times in my opinion with all the festivals/Christmas house tours.

So my home is located approx 15 minutes.to Wild wood's boardwalk or Cape May ocean side..
My yard partially protected by Wildlife refuge, so we keep it rustic to support native wildlife.
