Just Lovely

We had a great time at Lisa’s house. It has every amenity and it is beautifully, yet comfortably decorated. The beach is just a couple of houses down the street. Lisa was a dream to work with and we look forward to our next stay at this wonderful house!

Last minute trip for July 4th

My niece and other family stayed here during July 4th week with our 2 dogs. The pictures of the cottage do not do it justice. Everything is upgraded and thought is put into the guests (including dog treats!). It is very spacious and having two full bathrooms is a bonus (and outdoor shower). The artwork is beautiful and is found throughout the home. The block from the bay location could not have been more convenient. We have been renting in Villas for the past 8 years and this is by far the most comfortable and convenient

Paradise

We spent a lovely week at this beautiful home on the Villas. We enjoyed a less than 1 minute walk to the beach and to glorious sunsets. Our grandchildren enjoyed the quieter beaches of the bay as did our dog. But less than 20 minutes in the car we were in Cape May, parked and walking onto the clean beaches of the Atlantic. Lisa is the consummate host, quickly responding to our needs, with info about the area, this to do, where you eat. Her home is beautiful landscape, very clean and modern. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of supplies. As well as her amazing paintings! We look forward to coming back.

Great quiet location with a fenced in yard to enjoy time with my dog.

Wanted an upscale pretty comfortable cottage that took dogs to enjoy walks along the bay and enjoy some local attractions at the shore. Great pick to enjoy time in a different environment with my dog and friend. All had a wonderful vacation. Best vacations for me are the ones that I can take my dog.

Another Great Experience

I highly recommend Lisa & her property for any family looking to vacation in Cape May. The house is charming and extremely comfortable. The proximity to the beach is superb. It takes less than two minutes to get from the house to the beach. Walking our dog on the beach every morning is priceless.

This was our 2nd week at Bay Breeze Cottage. Again, we had a terrific time! We went to the beach and boardwalk, walked along the bay, and enjoyed the house. We loved picking fresh figs off the backyard tree and it was the 1st time my nephew tried one. Thank you, Lisa, for being a great ho5st. and foyour hhome.

40th Anniversary near Cape May

Our long weekend getaway was very relaxing . We saw the most beautiful sunset right from the front porch of the property. Lisa went out of her way to make our stay perfect. Property is 7 miles from Cape May, beaches, shopping and great restaurants. You can also see the bay right from the cottage, which is beautifully decorated. We really enjoyed our time here, and were able to bring our Shih Tzu with us too !! Very Nice !!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Crugnola

Host profile image
I fell in love with Cape May on my first visit and was compelled to dedicate my artistic career to capturing it's glorious streets in watercolor panorama paintings. I also yearned to start a significant garden, having outgrown my postage stamp size yard in Philadelphia.

How perfect was my find when I ventured north and happened upon a town called "Villas" where the reasonably priced cottages offered the land that I was in search of. Just a bonus, of course, that the bay beaches are steps away allowing our little dog, Munchkin the ability to satisfy his exercise needs.

Why they chose this property

Are you tired of the same old dumpy beach house without the amenities you need? Or a master bedroom that doesn't have an ensuite bath or king size bed?
Bay Breeze Cottage has it all! Parents will love the Master bedroom with floor to ceiling tiled ensuite bathroom and French doors that open up to a spacious sunroom equipped with a 65 inch Smart TV.
The house was gutted to the studs and is all brand new in 2022. You won't be disappointed!

What makes this property unique

Completely private, all around-6 foot tall fence. I don't care how high your dog can jump, they won't be able to get out and nobody can gain access but you! Complete security for your kids and dog.
The dog friendly bay beaches are 4 properties away. In fact, you can see the water from the front deck.
The cottage is decorated with original fine art and fine art prints. Some of the artwork is for sale or to just enjoy during your stay.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
