About this property

WATERS EDGE VILLA BEACH FRONT Pet Friendly N.Cape May

Beach front cottage located directly on Shore Road in historic Townbank 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 with an amazing view above the dunes from the sun room for daily dolphin and sunset watching. Townbank is affectionately known as “Sunset Beach” and offers spectacular sunset viewing every night. 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 does offer central air conditioning, 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 about one mile down the road. If you want to hit the boardwalk at night, Cape May is 10 minutes by car and Wildwood is just as close. Nearby there are wineries, shops, galleries and gourmet restaurants. Harpoons on The Bay, a beach front restaurant and bar, is just a few blocks walk down the road and a great place to dine 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 in pull-out sofa beds. The eat in dining room for six is beautifully furnished and is next to the living room where you can relax watching cable television, reading or chatting. The grand sun room offers additional dining 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. Our property actually consists of four lots, but we only have two cottages on it, leaving ample yard space. 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.

Booking your vacation couldn't be simpler! Check our calendar for availability and rate that are extremely reasonable for beach front property.

We left without staying. The place was a hot mess. The “lawn furniture and grill” will totally rusted. The door wouldn’t lock. The rugs were covered in pee stains and the place was only slightly better than a shack. I wasn’t going to lay down in one of those beds. Don’t be deceived by Newly Designed. I hate to think what it was like before!!!

Great Spring get away

For an inside vacation, this was a great place to be inside watching the bay. Had weather been warm, the outside of the property was littered with broken furniture and trash including a toilet. We couldn’t let our dog in the yard without getting burrs in her paws, the overgrown briar bushes were quite painful.If some landscaping and TLC were put into the outside, I would say it was worth the price.

Don’t be deceived by the photos. We almost left before starting! First off location is the only plus to this house. This beach house is very run down & outdated! To start our trip we had trouble getting into the house because the 2 doors have keys broken in them and cannot be opened from the outside. Owner thinks a pad lock is a sufficient fix, it is not!!! It took me 20 minutes to just get into the house! We felt very unsafe!!! The yard is full of rusted, broken yard furniture and a grill that can’t be used! The fence the faces the beach that the owner keeps for wildlife is so over grown it’s ridiculous and are 6 feet high so that you can’t even see the bay from the yard & about 5 feet deep into the property. Also took my dog & every time she went into the yard she had burs stuck in her paws that I would have to pull out because she was limping! The bonus of a yard was a ZERO & unusable so I kept her a leash the entire trip. By the clothes line vines and burs everywhere! The steps into the house on both areas are so over grown with weeds and vines that you get grabbed at your ankles going up. The weeds have grown over the steps! Also the door furthest from the beach if you go out it and open it weeds and vines growing from the roof that they hit your head! The carpets in the bedrooms have burs in them so even when inside your feet get poked and beat up! Wallpaper falling of the wall in the queen room and EVERY blind is broken! I would recommend this to enemy!

The views at this house were incredible. Hands down the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen. The location was great, right across from the shore. The beach was quiet and serene. The entire area is dog friendly. Unfortunately, the shoreline was messy and littered with debris and a copious amount dead horseshoe crabs. Upon arrival, the door to the house was not locked. It was not able to be locked. The owner was responsive and responded to us quickly, however he was not helpful in fixing the issues. A deadbolt had to be installed to ensure we could lock the door throughout our stay. The house was dirty. It didn’t appear to be cleaned between us and the previous renters. There was a written review in a book in the house, stating the same things I am and that they refused to stay. Carpets were stained and filled with small sharp objects that cut or splintered our feet. Sticky mouse traps were placed throughout the kitchen. Blinds were all broken. The back door was unable to be used, could only lock from the inside due to a key being broken off inside of lock. I found mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers on our third day. We left the next morning, ending our trip early.

Beautiful sunsets

We loved our stay at this cute beachfront cottage. The house perfectly fit our needs, and our dogs loved going to the bay in the morning and late afternoon during the dog-friendly hours. We had a great time using the beach kayak that came with the property. And the view from the sunroom is amazing! Gary was super friendly and gave us some good suggestions for places in the area to visit during our stay. We hope to be back next summer!

New family vacation

We have been to Cape May many times but this was the first time for my 7-month-old grandson and my daughter and son-in-law's 2-year-old German Shepherd. This was the perfect place for us we really loved it. We felt very comfortable and if we couldn't get out outside because of the heat we could still sit inside and look out the wonderful sunroom windows. We hope to come back again next summer this has been an excellent experience for our family. One thing I would really like to see is new mattresses. That was my only issue I had trouble sleeping on the twin bed and I woke up with my back hurting. Otherwise everything else was excellent!

Beautiful Location

This is the perfect cottage by the ocean. Nice fenced in yard which is wonderful since the property is dog friendly. The property has air conditioning and heat, a nice sized kitchen table that could easily sit six people. The front porch is enclosed and I sat out there every morning looking at the ocean drinking my coffee. Plenty of seating area, a queen size bed in one room and two twin sized beds in the other bedroom with one bathroom. Check in was easy and the location was absolutely perfect. Beautiful sunsets just like the pictures show in the listing. I will definitely book here again!

A Gem by the sea!

Location and view are spectacular. Our first trip with our dogs who loved the large yard. Kitchen was stocked for all your needs. Beds were comfortable and my husband loved the recliner. The best part of the house was the sunroom where we spent most of our time. Views are mesmerizing. We had family stay one night and they loved the convenience of the beach across the street. Only one thing: there is no grill so we had to buy a portable. All in all we enjoyed ourselves and plan on renting it for next summer.

Beautiful

This home is in a beautiful location. We were able to walk from the house to the beach in our bare feet. Once at the beach it felt like you had the place to yourself! The set-up is perfect for a family. We loved being able to sit on the porch with the windows open while closing the glass door to the rest of the house to keep the air conditioning inside. It had everything we needed! Easy drive to downtown Cape May and Wildwood. Easy drive to Cape May Brewing. Within walking distance to Harpoons restaurant which had great food and drinks. The beach in this area is very calm and allows for paddle boarding, kayaking, and general floating. Able to fish from the beach. When there was not a coffee pot, the host sent us one in the mail! I was very impressed with the kindness as I have never had a host respond that quickly to my request!

Stuck in a time warp

Great location and sunsets, and good for dogs. Those are the positives. However, the yard is cluttered with broken beach furniture that has been there since we left last summer. The blinds on the door have been broken since we started coming to this place 4 years ago. Some broken shades on front sunroom. Gate to the yard is broken (doesn’t stay closed). Neither the inside or outside has changed in 4 years and most likely longer. Same stains on the rugs are still there. Up until this year, we’ve overlooked all of that b/c of the location, view and dog friendliness. But the lack of care and maintenance of this property really takes away from the overall enjoyment.
