The Coop In West Cape May

1 site · Lodging1 acre · West Cape May, NJ

Come relax in this tiny home by the shore located in our quiet West Cape May neighborhood just a quick bike ride from beautiful beaches, arts and culture, restaurants, wineries and the center of town. We provide everything you need to enjoy your visit to the Cape. This unique stay includes a lofted king bed, full kitchen and bath, washer/dryer combo, and screened-in porch. The Coop is great for couples and solo travelers who are adventurous and don’t mind climbing up a ladder to a lofted bed. Our property is on less than an acre of land (despite what the listing states, sorry! Hipcamp won't allow me to change the acreage amount to less than one!) so you will occasionally see and hear us or our neighbors. The space is a studio-style tiny home located behind the main residence with free parking in the shared driveway. During the spring, relax on the screened-in porch and enjoy listening to the frogs sing in the evening; come summer the porch is surrounded by beautiful red canna lilies- catch the hummingbirds visiting while you sip your coffee before you hit the beach; by fall the backyard is transformed as late blooming flowers bring migrating butterflies through town. All year long you are likely to see wildlife- songbirds, bald eagles and hawks, especially in the Spring and Fall as our place is located on the Atlantic Flyway. Our neighborhood is a quiet leafy residential area one mile from Cape May's beaches, walking mall, winery and the center of town. Please note that the only sleeping area is lofted - you will need to be able to comfortably climb a ladder. You will have sole use of the screened-in porch and tiny home. The backyard space outside of the screened-in porch is shared - you may occasionally see me or my partner in the garden. Help yourself to the mulberries, strawberries or blackberries that are growing in the garden if you're lucky to be here in season!
