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. (NEW Beach cart to load the beach chairs, umbrella, swim noodles and beach buckets and cooler 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.
THE LOCATION The Mermaid Cottage is centrally located to many attractions. We are only a few minutes from Cape May (6 miles) and a short drive to Stone Harbor, Avalon and the Wildwoods. There are many local vineyards, distilleries and breweries including Cape May Brewery, which has a free tour and is only a few minutes away. Bravado Coffee Cafe, ice cream parlors and pizza only a couple of blocks away. Jump on the Cape May-Lewes ferry by foot, bike or by car and spend the day visiting historic Lewes Delaware or nearby Rehoboth Beach. If you're in the mood for glitz and glamour, the Atlantic City casinos are 45 minutes north on the Garden State Parkway.
There is always something to do making the Delaware Bay/Cape May area a great place to visit year-round. Come enjoy all that Cape May County has to offer!
THE COTTAGE There’s a sun deck and chaise loungers out back and plenty of space to spread out. Grab a morning cup of coffee on the front deck, read a book on the futon or listen to the seagulls fly over on the screened porch.

Our stay in Cape May was amazing. The house had everything you would need, it’s in a quiet area, is a short walk to the bay, and super clean! Overall the perfect place for a relaxing getaway!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage! Exceptionally clean. Nicely maintained property and very well thought-out. Lots of little details to make a stay easy, comfortable, and fun. Excellent communication from the host. Would definitely stay again!
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.
We had a great stay at the mermaid cottage! This was our 2nd time there and we can’t wait to come back. Great location - right near the beach and amazing hostess with attentive communication. Highly recommend!
Little getaway with my daughters (ages 27 & 17). Cottage was perfect. Short walk to beach. Very clean and stocked with necessities. Owner went the extra mile to make our stay memorable and personable
The home is comfortable and clean. It had all of the amenities we needed for a few days away. The beds were comfortable. And the neighbor is safe and very quiet.
The mermaid house was perfect for the four of us. The home is welcoming, nicely decorated with a mermaid theme, and well stocked. We loved hanging out in the screened in porch, and the short walk to the bay beach. We would stay here again.
We had a great stay at the mermaid cottage. The house was very clean and check in process was a breeze. The house is at a great location walkable to bay. Will come back again!!
The stay here for our family vacation with 2 small children was fantastic. It was very clean, check in and check out where seamless and communication with the host was super easy. I would highly recommend staying here. We had a great time and would definitely return.
We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaid Cottage. The cottage was very clean and everything you need is provided. The host Kimberly is exceptional.Our first day was pretty rainy, but we did manage a walk to the beach during a misty break. It's very close. Then went for a wonderful dinner at the Lobster House (highly recommend).Day 2 we went on a Whale Watch. Didn't see any whales, but did see ALOT of dolphins and an osprey with a fish, so still a lot of fun.
We were in town for our son's USCG boot camp graduation. This house was perfect for the long weekend - quiet area, clean house, close to base but far enough for relaxation, literally steps away from the beach and 15 minutes or less to every activity we wanted to do. The back screened in porch was our favorite place to eat and hang out. The host was exceptional in having everything ready for us and communicating with us. The towels and linens were very good and were provided so that was huge for us since we traveled so far and had limited time.
It was our first trip to the beach with our 3 month old daughter and this place was absolutely perfect. Our daughter loved the mermaids and we loved the location! Thank you so much for letting us make some great memories here!
My family and I really enjoyed our relaxing stay. The home was clean and the host answered all of our questions quickly. My children loved walking to the bay during the sunset. The sunset is the best for family pictures!
This was our third time staying at the house. We love the location especially with being able to see the sunsets at the bay.
The house is super clean and charming.
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.
Kimberly, thank you for allowing us to stay in this cottage home. The Mermaid Cottage is an excellent and very charming place to stay, this cottage was very clean. My daughter and I enjoyed our stay here, we enjoyed the beach and the shopping. I would highly recommend you stay in this cottage home it will not disappoint you. I would definitely stay here again.
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!!
The Mermaid Cottage has a wonderful beach vibe , it is the perfect beach getaway. And the cleanest house I ever rented!!! Just a short walk from beach to house we could go back and forth with the little ones with ease. The beds are so comfortable we all had a good nights sleep. The host provided many yard games to play after a day on the beach . The yard was a perfect space to hang out after a day at the beach! And there were bikes in great shape for a morning bike ride around the neighborhood. All around a perfect place to kick back and put your toes in the sand!
We stayed at the Mermaid Cottage in April for an early season birding trip. The location worked well for hitting all the birding hotspots in the area with a bonus of only being a few houses away from the beach. The neighborhood was quiet. The cottage was very clean and plenty of space for our party of 3 adults. The back porch is a lovely space for dinners. The host was fabulous answering all our questions in a timely manner. I highly recommend this cottage. Kim, Montpelier, VT
This was a lovely cottage. We enjoyed staying there and looking for all the mermaids. We would recommend it highly to another small group. Enjoyed Stone Harbor and Cape May. Had a great meal locally at Jake's! And we would definitely recommend the ice cream place on Bay Shore Drive! Thanks for the opportunity to share your delightful home in this quiet neighborhood!
