Lovely vacation

The house was very clean and perfectly decorated. The kitchen had everything you could need to cook meals. And the house was so close to the bay we could go check out the sunset every night!

Terrific second stay!

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.

Villas cottage by the bay

The pictures actually did no justice for this cute cottage. This cottage was clean and well maintained and offered everything we needed for our time in Cape May. Dog friendly and right by the bay for quiet morning walks. The only downside was the water was not swimmable there so we would have had to drive a little ways to the ocean but we were conveniently located so it was not much of an issue. About 15/20 minutes from Wildwood or down town Cape May so we were able to enjoy the boardwalk and all the shops and restaurants as well.

Feels like home!

The house has everything you need. It feels like home! Located so close to the bay that you can enjoy morning and evening walks. Short drive to Wildwood free beaches. Within walking distance, for some, of Bayshore Rd. and local restaurants. (we are hikers). House is larger inside than how it looks from outside. Nice outdoor area for barbeques. Definitely a 5 star experience for our family!

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 !!

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.

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.

Hidden Gen

We stay and vacation in Cape May often over the years. We needed to find a place that could accommodate our furry friend and provide the space and amenities we were seeking. This home exceeded expectations in every way. We will definitely return. The host is amazing and communication could not have been better. We highly recommend.

Beautiful beach house

We can’t thank you enough for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home surrounded by your very own artwork. Truly breathtaking. The house was well equipped with everything we didn’t bring which saved us money! It’s a block and a half away from the bay which was so relaxing. Definitely would come back.

Great getaway at a beautiful home close to the beach

We were looking for a place to stay for a few days with our four-legged family. The home was in a great location, just a short block from the beach that allows dogs. The house was updated, clean, and comfortable, with a fenced yard and off-street parking. Excellent communication with the owner occurred before, during, and after the stay. I highly recommend the home to couples, especially those looking to take their pet along. We will certainly consider this location in the future for our stays.

Bay Breeze Cottage - a hidden gem!

We rented Bay Breeze Cottage in early October. While the remnants of the hurricane put a damper on the weather that week, we still had the best time. The cottage is so close you can walk to the bay, which has some amazing views. Lisa did an amazing job renovating and decorating the cottage - it truly feels like a home and is a relaxing little oasis. We had our two pups with us, and it was a perfect getaway for all of us. Highly recommend!

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.
