Ridgewood Bay House - Dog friendly

Escape to the beauty of Cape May Bay in our Villas bay cottage, where your perfect getaway awaits!

Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood just two blocks from Delaware Bay, this coastal retreat offers all the comforts of home.

Let's start with our furry visitors - at Ridgewood Bay House, we really love our pups. As you enter the home, between the outdoor shower and the deck steps, there is a dedicated outdoor dog washing station, complete with hot and cold running water with a dog shampooing hose. In the main bathroom (in the closet) you will find a basket full of dedicated towels for your pups use. Inside, you'll find dog bowls and a basket of dog-friendly throw blankets that you can use to keep them comfortable.

Step inside and discover a charming family room, three beautifully decorated bedrooms, a modern kitchen with top-notch amenities, and a cozy dining room/sunroom. You'll also find a convenient laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer. Outside, a spacious back porch beckons with its inviting outdoor dining table and umbrella.

As you enter the family room, you'll be greeted by a spacious vaulted ceiling and a comfortable seating area that includes super cozy chairs and a "fall-asleep-in-the-middle-of-the-day" couch, which can also be transformed into a full-size bed if needed. Entertainment is at your fingertips with a 60-inch flat-screen SmartTV. Gather around the large coffee table for a friendly round of cards on rainy days.

Special attention has been given to the kitchen and dining room, where modern touches harmonize with the Cape May Bay ambiance. The fully equipped kitchen boasts all the essentials, including plates, bowls, silverware, utensils, pots, pans, a toaster, a microwave, a tea kettle, a blender, and a knife block. Feel right at home with the stainless steel gas stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher, allowing you to whip up anything from reheated takeout to a low country boil for the entire family. And don't forget to make use of the coffee bar, complete with a drip-style coffee maker (with stainless steel filters)to start your mornings on the right note.

The dining room is a true delight, bathed in the early morning sunlight streaming through numerous windows and a skylight. With ample seating for six, you can enjoy your coffee while enjoying the sunrise. For additional seating, head outside to the deck, where a metal table with an umbrella awaits.

When it's time to rest, the cottage offers three bedrooms and a fold-out couch in the family room. The spacious master bedroom, adjacent to the family room, features a queen-size bed, a convenient closet for your belongings, and a newly renovated bathroom with a custom-tiled shower enclosure and a luxurious rain head shower head. Another bedroom off the family room/kitchen provides a queen bed and a generous closet.

The kids will love the bedroom off the dining room, complete with a classic bunk bed (twin over full) and plenty of space for their adventurous sleepovers. The shared bathroom off the kitchen/dining room boasts a full-size bathtub, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Cape May's attractions.

For your convenience, a laundry room is available for your use at no extra charge (although we provide a few laundry pods, you may want to bring along your preferred detergent /softener). Sheets and towels are provided, however you will need to bring your own beach towels. We also supply starter dish and dishwasher soap, toilet paper, and paper towels.

During your stay, you'll have access to the entire house and the driveway, with parking available for up to three cars. Additional street parking is also available for your convenience.

Please note that the garage and owner's closet in the laundry room are not accessible.

Rest assured that the owner is readily available to assist you via text, phone, or email.

When it comes to getting around, you have various options. Whether you prefer walking, biking, or driving, you'll find it easy to explore the area. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are also available if needed. The property includes a driveway with two parking spots, as well as free on-street parking.

Immerse yourself in the tranquility of this coastal bay cottage and experience the wonders of Cape May Bay. From breathtaking sunsets to delightful local attractions, your family vacation awaits. Book now to secure your slice of paradise!

Please be aware: there is a single external security camera mounted on the garage above the doors and pointed down the driveway (see photo collection in the listing).

Quiet location for a visit with family. We especially enjoyed the close proximity to the beach for morning walks! The kitchen was well stocked and the space was perfect for the four of us. If we’re looking for a place in the area again, we’ll definitely try to stay here!!

The host was very attentive to any and all questions I had before our arrival and did reach out after our check in to make sure things were as they should be.I personally managed over 200 vacation rentals in the lower Florida Keys for almost 20 years. Steve and Chris have taken the time and effort to make this a rental you want to return to.

Impressive home! I’d like to rate it 10 stars but the scale only goes to 5. The owners have a very clean, comfortable, well decorated, well stocked home that is the nicest VRBO that I have ever stayed at. I loved walking 2 blocks down to the beach to enjoy the sunset, or walk a couple blocks in the other direction for som place to eat. If I’m ever at Cape May again, I hope to stay there.

The house is very cozy with enough room for several adults and a child. You have to be OK with your family watching you cook because they are able to offer ample criticisms in to the kitchen from several angles. The house was accessible for elderly parents because there are no stairs except the entrance. The main bedroom has its own bathroom which again for accessibility is important. We used the 3rd bedroom for storing our bags and for family members that wanted to stop by and visit. The kitchen is well-equipped and there are utensils for the grill as well. Propane tank ran out about 2 days in, but there was a full tank in the little plastic supply shed next to the garage. Easily parked 3 cars in the driveway, single-file and the neighbors were friendly. Beach was very close and the traffic in September was so light that often we were able to walk to the beach without sharing the road with more than 1 or 2 cars. The outdoor wash tub and shower next to the grill is something every pet-lover should have! Super-duper clean and the private back yard offers a get-away space if you need it and it feels like it could be comfortable in any season.

Our family stayed from 8/24-8/29 and had such a wonderful time. The house was spotless, well cared for, and very comfortable for us and our dog. We loved being so close to the bay, and it was a quick drive to both Cape May and Wildwood. The house had everything we needed, which made our stay easy and relaxing. We would difinitely come back.

Wonderful family vacation spot

We loved our time here and would definitely come back! Steve’s place is spacious and comfortable and just a short walk up to the bay (the sunsets really are amazing!). There were so many thoughtful and generous touches from the hosts (well-stocked kitchen complete with zip loc bags, plastic containers, as well as things like fem products, dog poo bags, extra towels, soaps, etc.) It was as if we were staying in a friends’ home, not a VRBO rental. Highly recommend this spot!

Great little house

The house was very nice. It was well stocked with supplies and well maintained. It was comfortable, nicely decorated and we really enjoyed our stay. My thought for improvement: Maybe a slightly bigger couch...seating for 3? I did take 1 star off for cleanliness only bc of the floors...everything else was exceptionally clean!! We would definitely rent again!!

Great location in a quiet part of the Cape May area.

Booked this house because of it's proximity to the bay side beaches (dogs are allowed at certain hours!). The house was a great escape for me and my city dwelling group. We really enjoyed using the deck and grill. When things got stormy outside we played games in the living room and watched a movie. There did not seem to be many tourists in this part of the area and we loved that! It's also very accessible to Cape May beach and Wildwood. Steve and Chris were nice enough to let us borrow beach tags for Cape May so we were able to avoid the $12 / person fee. We're already looking forward to our next visit to the Ridgewood house!

Outstanding Property!

This is a beautiful property! Everything was updated and clean and exactly as Steven described! It was just perfect for my family, and we were even able to bring our dogs! The outside yard was terrific for hanging out and making s’mores, too! Steven was very responsive and helpful making recommendations and answering questions. Walk to the bay for sunsets and 15 minutes to the ocean side beach of Cape May! This spot is a winner!
