About this property

Trade the Crowds for Tranquility: Your Private Beachfront Sanctuary Awaits

A rare oasis, BELA is nestled within a casual, chipper community overlooking an resort-ready, undiscovered beach on the Delaware Bay. Seclusion is easily abandoned by driving to any number of festive towns, award-wining vineyards, up-and-coming breweries or party-going beach towns; all 10-30 minutes away.

The proximity to the beach can't be beat. Its only 50 feet away! It's so close you can easily keep tabs on everybody regardless if they are are lounging in the water, swimming, building sand castles, chasing crabs, fishing or sunbathing on the third floor.

Turnkey Fun! We provide access to some bikes, chairs, SUP, kayaks, rafts and other assorted beach toys and gear. Even fishing gear.

BELA's multiple levels and various indoor and outdoor conversation areas make for an ideal vacation home, especially for groups. We have 3 bedrooms having full bathrooms (King, Queen, 2 twins which are often pushed together), 1 room with a daybed and the third floor has futons and a pull-out sofa.

The neighborhood is comfortably active; almost exclusively populated by families. The streets are residential and slow, except for beach goers transporting their boats/kayaks/boards and families.

There are a few restaurants within a short walk/bike ride, the famous ones being- beach shack Harpoon Henry's, On the Rocks and 5 West, and the more active Victorian Cape May area is a quick 10 minute drive/cab.

Fun family vacation!
Great house for a family getaway ! Lots of room for everyone. The garage is filled with fun, bikes, tubes, kayaks, ect. While you dont have the bigger waves in the water as you do on the ocean side, you can kayak or float around in the water for hours if you want to. It worked very well for the younger children with us.

AMAZING Beach House for your entire Family!
We could not have been happier staying at Beautiful Bela! The house is clean, roomy and literally on the beach. We brought our adult children and everyone had an incredible time. We were able to enjoy family time with out being in each others way. The house was well equipped with bicycles, beach chairs, and even toys. There were several outdoor areas to relax that were shady at different times of the day if you were taking a beach day off. We also enjoyed the local winery and walking to Harpoons. Our favorite time was watching the incredible sunsets from the top floor covered deck. Looking forward to next year!!!

Fun Stay!
This home was just what we were looking for… FUN! First trip to Cape May and we found this house Beachy, clean, casual and well appointed. The kitchen was very well stocked, bay beach very accessible and the Bikes & BeachToys were such an added bonus. Property manager was very responsive. Bathrooms are situated a bit strangely - but really wasn’t an issue for us. Back door lock is difficult to lock & unlock but we reported this issue. Would definitely rent this property again!

Why they chose this property

Resort experience without resort headaches

A rare oasis reminiscent of the sheltered, relaxed villages sprinkled throughout the rustic coastline of the Northeast. BELA is nestled within a casual, chipper community overlooking an resort-ready, undiscovered beach on the Delaware Bay. Seclusion is easily abandoned by driving to any number of festive towns, award-wining vineyards, up-and-coming breweries or party-going beach towns; all 10-30 minutes away.

Spend less time getting away and more time away with your friends and family.

Sleeping 8 across 3 full suites and 1 bedroom with a daybed, BELA provides room for all to spread out and find individual areas to escape to and several indoor and outdoor conversation areas for creating new memories among friends and family.

What makes this property unique

Semi-private beach away from the restrictions of other life and beach-tag protected NJ beaches.

Quiet, serene area that maximizes vacation time

Amazing location that is convenient to dozens of night-time excursions.

1 mile away from Cape-Lewes ferry, ride our bikes, take your car or walk from the House and shuttle to Delaware's great beaches and beach restaurants (Rehoboth, Lewes, Dewey).
