Situated just 30 steps from the beach path, this original 1940’s Millman cottage was professionally decorated and landscaped by an award-winning horticulturalist. It is the perfect rental for a small family, a group of friends, or a romantic getaway!
Please note that reservations made on Vrbo are subject to a non-refundable 4% credit card transaction fee.
With its long history as a vibrant fishing business, continue the home’s tradition by casting a line next to the piers of the old dock and take home your catch to roast up on the outdoor grill.
Relax in the backyard and delight in the provided yard games, or take the fun indoors with a selection of our favorite board games -- fun for the whole family!
Launch your kayaks off the beach, which is accessible either by the property`s private beach path or the public path located just 50 feet away. We have stocked a wide assortment of life jacket sizes and paddles for three kayaks -- two individual and one tandem.
Cook to your heart`s content in the completely renovated, vintage-inspired kitchen complete with cookware, tools, spices, microwave oven, coffee maker, toaster, refrigerator with ice maker, 4-burner electric range, dishwasher, and deep sink with multi-function faucet.
Curl up on the 84-inch couch watching movies on the home’s brand-new, Samsung `The Frame` 50-inch 4K flatscreen television, ready for bingeing Netflix (included) or any streaming service you bring.
Work remotely (if you have to) with free, fast, WiFi from Verizon Fios available throughout the cottage.
Pamper yourself in the spa-like bathroom complete with a high-end, Italian rain shower system, teak shower bench, European dual-flush toilet, LG Washtower laundry machine, extra-plush towels, and toiletry essentials.
Sleep like royalty on your luxury, queen-size bed, or queen-size, memory foam sleeper sofa appointed with hypoallergenic down-alternative hotel pillows and comforters, and silky smooth microfiber sheets. The bedroom is also equipped with a 32-inch Roku smart TV.
Linens are provided!!!
You will have full access to the cottage, kayaks, game storage and your own *private* newly-fenced yard. The cottage is located on a shared property with a detached storage garage and my house, which will not be accessible (unless I bake too many muffins).
My family lives at a house on the same property, and I would be happy to facilitate an in-person check-in if I am around, or just chat about the gardens, wildlife, and local attractions!
The Villas is the hidden gem of Cape May County: a peaceful, residential atmosphere with calm waters and natural, white sand beaches prized by locals. You are situated just a 15 minute drive to both downtown Cape May and Wildwood -- the choice is yours!
This area is a nature-lover’s paradise: from the horseshoe crabs who have made a yearly pilgrimage to our white sand beaches for millions of years, to the endangered migratory birds who stop here to feed on their monumental journey North. Don’t forget to bring your scope to watch our stunning local bald eagles and osprey hunt just off-shore, or catch a glimpse of a pod of dolphins playing in the surf!
The surrounding area is packed with things to do: spend the day roaming nearby downtown Cape May, America’s first seashore resort (4 beach tags included with your stay), sample one of the many local wineries and craft breweries, take an afternoon to visit the Cape May County Zoo, charter a whale and dolphin watching boat, sign up for a tour of the back bays, hike the high dune trail, climb to the top of the Cape May lighthouse, ride the rides at the Wildwood boardwalk, or watch the flag ceremony at Sunset beach.
For your convenience, Duraflame logs can be purchased at the Lowes 3.5 miles away and firewood can be purchased from many small vendors in the area. Smaller grocery runs or quick food is less than a mile away at a Wawa, and the Rio Grande shopping area is less than 4 miles away.
Please note that while the beaches are ideal for kayaking, walking, fishing, or watching the sun set, this beach is not ideal for swimming because of how shallow the bay is. There is also a 5 foot tide that causes the water to recede and reveal tidal pools. We recommend you download a tide clock app to track the tides for ideal kayaking!

Tiffani & Travis W. Jan 13, 2025 08:16:31 AM
Summary: We came for a winter getaway after the holidays and it was lovely. It is indeed the octopus house and the theme is carried through throughout the house. The home was clean, well stocked, had all the kitchen supplies we needed for a short stay, and the host was incredibly responsive. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Brenda G. Jan 2, 2025 02:29:44 AM
Summary: Wanted to go somewhere close for my one day off and bring my dog. Cottage is absolutely gorgeous and sparkling clean. Close to the beach to go for a walk and there were places to eat within walking distance (but I did not try them). Muffins were delicious- you should sell them! Can’t wait until I can book a longer stay. Thank you!!

Ehren B. Nov 19, 2024 03:56:49 AM
Summary: Our weekend stay at The Octopus Cottage was beyond fantastic! Donna, our host was so helpful, communicative, and thoughtful. The cottage is decorated for maximum comfort and relaxation. The home was clean, well stocked with necessities, and the updates and decor made it feel like we were truly on vacation. Our hosts made sure that we were greeted with fresh pasties and a handwritten note, which was such a nice touch! Would highly recommend this property for a Cape May/Villas getaway!

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Octopus Cottage! The fenced in yard was perfect for relaxing outside with our pup. The cottage is beautifully decorated and furnished. The mattress, pillows and linens were top notch, very comfortable. The location is perfect, with plenty to see and do nearby. We are already planning a return visit!

Anthony A. Jul 27, 2024 08:56:32 AM
Summary: great little house with a beach in the backyard !!! about 15-20 mins away from from attractions but def worth it .. very clean and can’t wait to stay again !!! donna was amazing from check in to when we left !!
Joy R. Jul 13, 2024 10:49:40 AM
Summary: Our stay at Octopus Cottage was short but sweet. Although it's a tiny house, the layout and design were beautiful, clean, and inviting. The landscaping made us feel like we were truly on vacation. Every single amenity was carefully considered to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. From the blueberry muffins upon arrival to the prompt responses, Donna is an amazing host. Most of all, I want to thank Donna for letting us bring our fur-son. We don’t feel complete on vacation unless he is with us. Most places have size restrictions or don’t allow dogs on the furniture, but Donna even supplies a blanket for them to lay on. Most beaches also don’t allow dogs, but the beach this property is on does, so we were able to create wonderful memories with him. The outdoor shower was super helpful too. We will definitely be back!
