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.
