Adorable Cottage with everything we needed.
The cottage was perfect from the front porch, through the open concept living room, dining room and into the kitchen, then down 2 steps to the 3rd sleeping space/laundry area with doors keeping it unseen then out the back door to the fenced in yard with the fire pit, picnic table and grill area. The fenced in area of the yard was the perfect size for our 2 dogs. The bedrooms were the perfect size. Alex was available by phone when we arrived. We enjoyed our walks on the beach at night with our dogs. We enjoyed the area restaurants and local brewery; also dog friendly. We wish we had book 1 more night!

Enjoyable stay
We had our dog with us. We had no disappointments. It is what is presented in the VRBO listing. It is obvious that during the remodeling there was an attention to detail and thoughtful amenities. We recommend the Bay Cottage.

We loved staying here for our seaside vacation! The home is extremely well-kept and clean, with all the amenities you would want for a relaxing vacation. The communication with Alex was always consistent and helpful, and we checked in and checked out without issue. Thank you so much for giving us the comfort of home while on vacation!

Great Quiet Spot
This was our first time visiting Cape May, so we weren't sure where to stay. Decided to go last minute so our options were also limited. This was a great spot right before the Labor Day holiday away from all the craziness. House was very clean and a great fenced in yard for the dogs. Disappointed in the beach - it was fine for a walk with the dogs, but it was muddy, mucky, and lots of dead horseshoe crabs, so not really a beach to relax on, but that was our fault for not researching this ahead of time!

Girls Getaway Weekend
Bay Cottage is as lovely as it looks! The owner Alex was not only a pleasure to deal with and extremely available for any questions but literally thought of everything and anything his guests could need/want! Relaxing by the fire pit with my dog by my side was one of the highlights for me. Close enough to enjoy all the beaches (including the one at the end of the street) but far enough from the summer hustle and bustle to just relax and unwind. Thank you Alex for sharing this slice of Heaven with me and my girlfriends. We had a wonderful weekend!

Great Cottage!
The house was extremely clean and very modern. All the conveniences you could possibly need were there. It is one block from a bayside beach. I wouldn't go swimming in that water. It's very muddy. But my dog and I took a walk every evening to watch the incredible sunsets. Close enough to Cape May/Stone Harbor/etc to drive there and spend the day, but far enough away to not feel touristy. The owner is very nice and always very responsive with any questions. I rented the house for a week to work remotely and get out of the hustle and bustle of the NYC. It was just what the doctor ordered!

We had a great time at Bay Cottage- beautiful decor, spacious rooms and extremely clean! The fenced backyard was a plus- We stay at the Villas every summer and this location allowed us to visit all our favorite spots in town, Cape May and Wildwood. Alex-Thank you for sharing Bay Cottage with us- we'll be back.
