About this property

TOWNBANK COTTAGE Pet Friendly N.Cape May

This cottage is one house away from the beach front on Shore Road in historic Townbank.
This setting 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, offers an amazing view above the dunes from the sun room for daily dolphin and sunset watching. Townbank is known for spectacular sunset viewing.. 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 has air conditioning window units, 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 over a mile down the road. If you want to hit the boardwalk at night, Cape May is 10 minutes by car and Wildwood is close. Nearby there are wineries, shops, galleries and gourmet restaurants. Harpoons on the Bay, beach front restaurant is just a few blocks walk down the road and a great place to dine in 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 on a large sofa.. The eat in kitchen comfortably seats six and offers views directly out the sliding glass doors. The grand deck offers relaxing seating while overlooking the water, or just a place to hang-out and watch the dolphins or sunsets.

The cottage sits in a white picket fenced in yard and offers plenty of space for outdoor fun. 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.
I have chosen native landscaping that provides food and shelter for wild life.. Rather than tearing down this old beach house I Have decided to maintain it. Most guests appreciate the cozy comfortable nature of this home. I don't want you to be disappointed, if you prefer brand new,
Booking your vacation couldn't be simpler! Check our calendar for availability and rates that are extremely reasonable for beach front property.

Stay in Cape May

We had a wonderful stay in Cape May! The home was perfect for what we needed: full stove (gas burners - bonus!), full size fridge, grill, fire pit, yard for dogs to run, beautiful view of the water from the home. We had a small issue with the a/c unit and we were able to fix it and the renter refunded us some money which definitely wasn’t expected, and we were very thankful! Also, we had only positive interactions with the owners and the locals were very friendly.

We loved every minute of our short stay here. The view was just as pictured. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. The biking was lovely. The beach was secluded yet provided wonderful ambiance. It was a short drive to Cape May Winery which was a treat! Hopefully we will return some day ~ Thank you!

The location was nice and close to the beach. The house was not kept up with. The ac unit in the second bedroom was not cooling at all and there was mold around all of the ac units on the property. It was 90 degrees on the inside with all the ac units running. After reading the last entry in the guest book, it was apparent the owner would be of no help. We ended up paying it forward and buying a new window unit for the second bedroom so that we could sleep at night. Half of the yard is overgrown with prickly weeds. It looked like there may have been a kayak and a raft float in there but they were inaccessible.

Great Vacation spot!!

My family and I loved spending 4 days at this cottage. It was very peaceful and beautiful. The deck overlooking the beach was the best part, we barely left it. The sunsets at nighttime were picture perfect. The owners were very responsive if we had any questions. The yard was big enough for our pup to enjoy her time and she loved it. It was so nice to have her with us. Definitely recommended.

Beautiful location

We enjoyed our time here. The property is in the most incredible location to take in the beauty of the area. We ended up buying an air mattress because the full bed mattress was uncomfortable. There was some dog hair on the furniture and blankets, but the house felt clean overall. I would absolutely recommend this rental to anyone. We're grateful for the time we spent here as a family!

If you are looking for fancy and modern, this is not the place. BUT if you are looking for comfortable, dog friendly and gorgeous sunsets, then rent this place! Bay beach right across the street, sunsets can't be beat. Dogs loved the yard and were obsessed with the bunnies in the adjoining yard! Will definitely rent again. Gary was easy to work with and answered my emails immediately,

Perfect Location, As Always

This was my 6th or 7th (I've lost track) annual July stay and I'm still in love. Early morning dolphin & osprey watching on the deck, gorgeous sunsets just a step away every evening, and all in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood. True that it would benefit from a little TLC, but I'm not a perfectionist, I still find it charming. It's clean, comfortable, and well stocked for a vacation stay. See you next year!

Amazing Location!

We came for a long weekend stay. The location was amazing! You could be in the ocean within 5 minutes of walking out the door. The house is in a residental neighborhood so there isn't much noise at night. The landscaping was great! We saw so many birds and rabbits which was really nice. The back porch was amazing! We spent every evening out there watching the sun go down. The ocean is really gentle at that beach and we didn't have to worry about our kids with the waves. We would love to rebook in the future!

DON'T BELIEVE THE PHOTOS. This place is not just outdated, it's downright nasty. Spiders, ants, cobwebs, i was scared to sit on anything i put blankets down over everything. Clothsline and outdoor shower enveloped in vines and completely inaccessible, see photos. We could barely get to the front door. No kayak, no beach chairs, no usable grill. Dirty worn out carpet, chair, couch. Trundle bed mattress was filthy, didn't even use it. The ONLY good thing was the proximity to the water and the ability to see the bay from the back deck. Which had a loose board on the top step and broken chairs. No lighting down the whole side of the house, very dangerous. Landscaping is atrocious, the whole place is covered in vines, burrs on half the lawn, dead stuff cut and left to turn brown. The bedroom window was partially open and vines were GROWING IN THE WINDOW. TV is not mounted on the wall, it's on a rickety old stand. I wish i could include more photos.... please read AND BELIEVE the reviews, don't do it.

About the host

Hosted by PROWE Enterprises

Host profile image
My name is Gary Prowe and I am an avid outdoor lover of fishing, beach combing, botany, gardening, bird watching and gardening. I purchased this over-sized lot many years ago for the enjoyment of my family and decided it would be wonderful to share with beach lovers like myself, looking for an affordable, family beach front vacation stay.

Why they chose this property

Cottage is located directly overlooking beach, above the dunes and within walking distance to dining, entertainment and the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. Nearby beaches, such as Cape May and Wildwood offer boardwalks for your amusement pleasure!

Everyone deserves to experience life on a beach at least once in their lifetime!

What makes this property unique

This is a beach front cottage located in the peaceful area of historic Townbank. The Townbank community is bayside of Cape May and is known as Sunset Beach. Every evening at sunset, people gather to sit on the beach and enjoy the spectacular event of watching the sun sink slowly into the horizon over the water! Our cottage has a deck that sits high above the dunes and allows you to enjoy unobstructed views !
