  • For those who appreciate the difference between a rental and a real home.

    Discover Bougie Beach Bums.

    Bohemian and relaxed, yet modern and fresh. At Bougie Beach Bums, we pride ourselves on thoughtful hospitality and a global approach to coastal decor. This is your artsy Aunt's home that you'll never want to leave. We have two delicious homes for you to choose from: ocean-side in Wildwood, and bay-side in the Villas.

    What makes us different from other shore hosts?

    It's all about traveling with ease and confidence at Bougie Beach Bums.

    We're year-round locals, not out-of-town investors. No flips, no hustle energy. When you contact us, you're always talking to us, not some property manager we've delegated you to. If you need us, we're here, not in another state. We take care of every aspect of our guest experience ourselves, backed by a professional cleaning team. And from linens to beach chairs, we provide what most rentals still make you bring yourself.

    We believe that you should feel taken care of from the moment you book your stay, and that's our commitment.

  • Meet your hosts

    She's Yvonne. He's Nik. The cutie's Zissou.

    What do you get when you bring together a marketing professional with deep experience in travel and hospitality, and a five-star massage therapist? A vacation experience thoughtfully designed to make you feel cared for.

    Before meeting Nik, Yvonne passionately solo-traveled through 50-something countries, staying in homes, hostels, luxury hotels...you name it. Meanwhile, when Nik wasn't in Avalon, he was catching waves in some of the world's most far-flung destinations. Since we met (on Instagram!) we've criss-crossed America on long road trips, Zissou in tow, greedily eating our way through glittering cities and sleepy small towns. We obviously love to travel, and we started Bougie Beach Bums to share our love of travel and making friends of strangers with you.

    Our homes feel extra inviting because they're always our own personal home first. We live in them, work on them, and thoughtfully shape them project by project into what you see today. These are not flip or investment houses—they've always been filled with love, laughter, and life. Whether you choose bay-side or ocean-side, we hope you feel that warmth during your stay.

  • Bougie

    pronounced [BOO] + [ZHEE]

    For us, bougie means appreciating the good things in life: Fresh air. Sandy toes. Salty kisses. Slow breakfasts. Sunrise on the ocean, sunsets on the bay. Little vacays. Happy memories, even on rainy days. Being footloose and fancy-free.

    Follow us on Instagram as we explore the best of Cape May County. Discover hidden gems and steer clear of tourist traps. We post about our favorite small businesses, sunrises and sunsets, and dolphins too!

  • Your sense of genuine hospitality is timeless.
