Beachfront 1BR with water view, near Cape May & Wildwood

Overview
Beautiful, newly renovated apartment located directly on Delaware Bay with stunning water views. With its floor to ceiling windows, you’re immersed in the design and nature of both the indoors and outdoors! The small beach is just steps away, perfect for wading and water sports. Various outdoor seating is available with the covered porch, the personal hammock or the loungers in the yard. Outside, at low tide, walk far out onto the bay; at high tide, water reaches your doorstep. Inside, you can enjoy the same gorgeous scenery, watching birds and horseshoe crabs and even some eagles- enjoy your front row seat to the world's best sunsets!


Area/Location
The Villas is a small residential Delaware Bay community, 20 minutes from Cape May (2 beach tags included) and Wildwood beaches. The bay ecosystem is home to so many birds, horseshoe crabs, and sea life. We’ve even seen dolphins and eagles in the spring! Sunset walks are a must.

Although this part of the bay isn’t typically used for swimming, it is perfect for young children wading and water sports like paddle boarding and kayaking. There are lots of local places to eat, grab ice cream, rent bikes or paddle boards, etc. Or drive 15-20 mins into the beach towns of Cape May and Wildwood to swim with lifeguards and surf the real waves!

Indoor
This one bedroom apartment has floor/to-ceiling beach/bay views. The big sliding glass door allows you to be “out in nature” even when you’re inside. At high tide, the water is right at your feet! At low tide, you can walk out on the bay halfway to Delaware (ok not quite that far). It’s wonderful to feel like you’re standing in the middle of the bay).

This unit sits on the ground floor of a triplex- a complete unit with your own private bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, patio, and living room/dining area. Two beach tags for Cape May are included, but guests will be charged replacement fees if they are not returned at check-out since the next guest will need them

The main room has an updated kitchen with newer appliances, a comfy sofa that looks out at the bay (and can sleep one person in a pinch), a comfy swivel chair, tv with WiFi and Apple TV (but no cable), and a dining table.

Updated in 2025, the new queen bed is comfy with a new mattress and bedding as well as privacy shades and curtains. Bedding and towels are now included, and pack n play is available upon advance request at the time of booking.


Linens
Bedding and bath towels are provided. This includes sheets, quilts/comforters, washcloths, and bath towels.


Outdoor
This apartment sits on the first floor of a two-story typically quiet triplex (three separate units). The large 4 bedroom unit upstairs is also on VRBO if you are looking for more space or to coordinate with friends or relatives (click on my profile to view it). This rental includes use of shared outdoor Weber grill and picnic tables.

You won’t find better sunset views anywhere! Walk straight out the sliding glass doors to a covered (private) patio or another 40 feet and you’re right on the small but mighty beach. Your private patio includes both relaxed seating and a bistro set for eating outdoors.


EV
A Universal Tesla charger is available to guests in any of the units. Seamlessly transitions between NACS and J1772 connectors, accommodating all major North American EVs including Tesla Vehicles. Integrated J1772 adapter to conveniently charge any electric vehicle. Since this charger is open to all, it will require coordination between guests when more than one EV user is staying on the property, but there is no extra usage charge.


Rentals
Summer bookings between mid-June and Labor Day are weekly Sat-Sat rentals unless there are last minute open dates. We are unable to host parties or events, including bachelor/bachelorette weekends, senior weeks, etc.


Additional Unit on Property
If available, there is an additional 1 bedroom apartment (with its own private bath, living room, kitchen and patio) downstairs- the patio sits right under the deck and also on the beach with similarly gorgeous water views. We offer a 10% discount to anyone also renting upstairs at the same time. Great set-up for extended family members to connect or see each other while still having privacy. You can click on my profile on VRBO to see


Storms
Please note that since the house is right on the water, storms can be impressively forceful! You may be asked to bring items indoors before severe storms, but we can usually get there to do it or help if needed. We do open the house year-round, but we don’t control the weather! So before booking, please consider how comfortable your group would be with front row seats if there is a storm while you are there. Unfortunately, we cannot refund for poor weather, but we can give you some great rainy day ideas. :)
