Torn between spending time in Wildwood and Cape May? Explore this intimate rental with quick access to both, without the honky-tonk of Wildwood or the pricy accommodations of Cape May. 

It’s a two block walk from The Lovely Cottage to the almost unpopulated, pristine beach, with sunsets stretching to the horizon. How about trails through the woods or freshwater fishing in an 8-acre pond (stocked by the state of New Jersey with sizable trout). Two blocks in the other direction you’ll discover Cox Hall Creek (with paved trails which accommodate bicycles, walkers and wheel chairs). 

A Birder's Paradise, here you can spot numerous  species in an area the Audubon Society has praised as one of the best bird sanctuaries in North America.

The Cottage itself offers an inviting space to relax. There are 2 bedrooms (one with 2 twins and the other with a queen), both with a TV, and there is one bath. The cozily furnished living room has a 60” TV with access to many viewing options (and the sofa turns into a bed that could host 2 additional guests). The vintage, charming eat-in kitchen is complete with a restaurant blender, large microwave, slow cooker, Keurig coffee maker, plus much more, and of course a dishwasher and laundry. 

Step through the sliding doors onto a generous deck, ideal for morning coffee. There you will find comfortable, sociable seating and a gas barbecue and cooler. Splash in the pool on a sunny afternoon. In the evening, enjoy an enchantingly lit space, perfect for conversation, refreshments - and sharing favorite moments from summers gone by. 

A day at the beach? Don't forget the sand-friendly beach cart preloaded with chairs for four and a pair of umbrellas. Coming back from the beach (or just because you can), enjoy the outdoor shower to the right of the deck. 

Caught indoors on a rainy day? Plenty to do! Video & musical options aside, dip into one of the many board games located on the living room shelves. Chess? Chutes and Ladders? The Game of Life? Twister? They and other fun options are there. Books? Have fun exploring the numerous options waiting on the shelves in every room - from local guide books, to birding books, picture books, children’s books, history books, literary classics, and mystery and science-fiction gems curated by aficionados of the genres. 

The Lovely Cottage is the perfect place from which to explore the pleasures of summer  in Cape May County, one of which pleasures just might be doing almost nothing at all...
