We love the mermaid house! We stayed with our toddler and dog. It was so quiet, clean, comfortable and just really nice. The fenced in yard is awesome. The huge wrap around deck with safety gates is such a bonus. The kitchen is like brand new and very nice. The beds are comfortable. Its a nice size house and we didnt feel cramped or anything, and we packed a lot for our little one and dog. It has that nice beach house vibe you want when staying in cape may county without being right in the party zone or being unaffordable for a working class family. Highly recommend fish and fancy for fresh affordable delicious seafood or the villas diner and pizzeria for ny style pizza at a great price. We would absolutely stay here again!! Thank you!

About the host

Host profile image
I am a PA girl who always enjoyed getaways to the Jersey Shore! After discovering the bay area fifteen years ago, we have come back every season! We purchased the Mermaid house in 2019, and it's been my pleasure hosting since then!

Why they chose this property

This is a quiet peaceful neighborhood, only a 10 minute walk to the bay, and 4 blocks to Fleck's ice cream, voted best in Cape May county! It's a great location for a peaceful stay, yet only 15 minutes drive to the hubs of West Cape May and Wildwood.

What makes this property unique

If you enjoy privacy, comfort, and a quiet neighborhood, but also want to be close to the beach and excellent restaurants, Wildwood boardwalk and wineries, the Mermaid is for you! We also have a fully fenced yard, so if you like bringing the pups with you, we are happy to accommodate them, also!
