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.

The view of the sunsets are out of this world and my dog can enjoy the bay beach. This is our second time staying here and it is falling apart worse than the last time. It’s hard to beat the views though.

A plus view, D plus conditionRamshackle gem of a cottage located on the bay with glorious sunset views. Be advised old pet stained carpets, brocken blinds, peeling wall paper, dune grass briers stuck in carpets (shoes a must in doors), amazing enclosed porch overlooking the bay if you open the windows and ignore the musty smell. There was coffee left in the pot with scum on the top when we arrived and i let the owner and manager know. We found the vacuum and broom and got most of the grit off the floors. On the plus side, location, location location. Short walk to Harpoons on the Bay...

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.

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!!!

Sun Set View for Shore

We have rented this property three times now and it never disappoints. The Sun Room is spectacular. It could use a few cosmetic enhancements, but other than that, it's clean and perfectly located.

The perfect spot

We had a great time at this home. It's in the perfect spot, looking directly onto the bay; we watched dolphins from the front porch, fireworks from the front yard, and stars from the telescope. I've already made reservations for next year!

First time using VRBO

We loved staying at this VRBO property! Loved the bay. We had some issues with the yard, as there were sticky weed balls with very sharp parts. Our dog got some on herself and our fingers were bbbbleeding.

Gorgeous sunsets!

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here. We especially loved the closed in porch which faces the bay, and spent a lot of time watching the birds over the water and the incredible sunsets. The house itself is very well equipped, and we lacked for nothing. We did our own cooking, and had everything we needed. We didn’t use all the beach gear, but there was plenty available! We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect beach cottage getaway!

My boyfriend and I celebrated my 65th birthday by spending 6 nights here with our dogs. House is on a great dog-friendly beach and has a fenced-in yard. House was very clean, comfortably furnished and we loved spending time on the enclosed porch looking out over the ocean. House looks just like the photos!, and is in a quiet neighborhood with nice sidewalks, easily accessible to local restaurants, wineries, and grocery stores, but also a quick drive to Cape May. Owner was super nice and helpful, and gave good recommendations. Would definitely go there again!

Perfect location

I loved the location of this property. Harpoon Henry's is great if you have an animal but the food was just ok. The cottage is older but the property itself was perfect. If it did not rain when I was there I would spent more time on the beach and properity. Instead we went out a lot. We did get to enjoy One good day and night on the beach. Beautiful

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!

Delaware Bay Beauty

Great location. Directly across from Bay. Easy drive of 10 minutes to Cape May. Quiet neighborhood. Rt 9 antiquing was terrific! Our canine girls loved all the windows to bark at the walkers and enjoyed the fences in yard Gary the owner was gracious and friendly. The only problem was the sun did not shine until we were driving out of town to head home - no fault of anyone. We all hope to come back next year and catch the sun out!

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.

A True Vacation

Beautiful property, perfect location--a stone's throw from the Delaware Bay and enveloped by a safe, well-lit and well-maintained neighborhood. Small enough to be cozy but spacious enough to be comfortable, with a wonderful sunroom to take in panoramic views of the bay. Plenty of natural light in all rooms. The home (and it does, indeed, feel like an actual home) is fully equipped with a kitchen for homemade meals, a bright dining room, small but inviting bedrooms and a clean bathroom. This exceeded our expectations--so much so that we plan to book it again next year. Gary was super-attentive and accommodating. Highly recommended!

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!

Dated home. Many issues to address. Great water view. Electrical issues w exposed wires in kitchen

This house is a dated cottage with some updates like toilet, bathroom sink, laminate flooring. Many burrs in yard so careful for furry friends. We wore shoes at all times inside bec they came into house with the dog. Beach quiet and it’s awesome to be able to walk across street to the pathway. House needs deep cleaning and decluttering. Basement door kept opening and very musty old smell frequently existed along with the few closets. Pet stains on area rug. Completely rusted grill with bottom almost gone, impossible to use. Few electrical outlets worked and lights often flickered in kitchen, bathroom and dining room, spotty WIFII.
