About this apartment rental

Don't look any further for the perfect summer sanctuary! Sweet Pea Cottage is close to the Beach and located within BayRose Garden, nestled among trees and shrubbery, surrounded by beautiful gardens that flower from spring through fall.

BayRose Garden is the most incredible private garden available for rent. You will see species of plants unavailable at most garden centers. Host plants for seven different butterflies, so they are born and raised right here

Nightly rates starting at $175 with a 10% discount when you book a full week. Sheets and towels are included so all you need to pack is your tooth brush. Also included are paper towels, toilet paper along with coffee and tea.

.Located in Villas, New Jersey, 2 blocks from the bay beaches and 8 miles north of historic Cape May, this cozy, cottage style apartment was just freshly painted and redecorated in 2023.

Not only do you get to enjoy the colorful garden display, but the cottage walls are decorated with the original “Streets of Cape May” panorama series along with original floral and nature art to enjoy and even purchase to take home with you.

The delightful, dog-friendly Bay Beaches are right down the road for long morning and evening walks with your best friend. Sunsets and other wildlife abound.

So if you love flower gardens, artwork and long walks with your dog on the bay beaches, this is the place for you.

Amenities include:
Beach Tags provided for free entry to Cape May Beach.
Dogs under welcome (under 40 lbs) We regret that we do not accept male dogs unless they are neutered. All dogs must be treated for fleas. Dogs must also be thoroughly bathed and brushed prior to arrival.

Private yard and gardens. (Please be advised that because of the gardens, dogs do not have free roam of the yard and must be walked off of the property. However, feel free to have them join you in the screened gazebo for dining and relaxing.) PLEASE! No outside music or noise of any kind after 9:00 PM. This is a peaceful neighborhood and I respect my neighbors quiet and privacy.

No smoking anywhere on the property. A $250 fine per person will be applied and you will be asked to vacate immediately.

Bringing your dog is a privilege. They are our family members and we want to share our vacations with them. However, If you intend on leaving your dog alone all day while you are at the beach please do not book this property..

Lisa is a great host, she was very attentive to our needs, the property is really cute and cozy and is situated in a great location, just about 50 yards from the bay, we enjoyed our walks with our pet, restaurants and stores nearby, I would recommend this property to a family/friend and will visit again.

Very nice experience, the place was clean, bed was comfortable, close to the beach and welcoming for my pooch. The host gave excellent communication, was extremely accommodating with check in/out process and even had the air conditioner and fans on prior to our arrival to cool the place during the heat wave/alert.

Listen to "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Amstrong, and you will get a bit of the feeling I had at Sweet Pea Cottage, which is very confortable and perfect for two and a little dog. It was, for my wife and me, a place of calm, beauty (Lisa is a master gardener) and rejuvenating time. The neighborhood was also very calm so for us from the big city it was all a blessing. Reading on the long chair, looking at the garden, and eating at night in the gazebo were moments of intimacy with my wife. The sunset beach was our preferred place to swim and take sun. So a 10 on 10 !!

Tiny place to stay, even for one person. Nicely kept inside. Garden beautifully kept outside. This would be a beautiful tiny place to stay if in another neighborhood. However, neighborhood & location itself felt unsafe & sketchy. Neighborhood scuffle & screaming between locals (right in front of house) going on when I pulled up to check in. Felt unsafe to stay mainly due to the incident when I initially arrived (random woman telling me multiple times to call the police) & appearance of surrounding neighborhood. Left after one night stay and no consideration of even a partial refund by owner.
