Cape May: Do It Local

It is walking distance to the beach, boardwalk, town, restaurants and shops, so the location is ideal. The porch has a wide open porch where you can relax with a cup of coffee or tea and a good book and watch the horse drawn carriages go by. Inside they have a parlor, equipped with menus from most of the local restaurants, and there are many fabulous ones to try! Upstairs the rooms are generous in size, with a bed room and sitting area. They are VERY reasonable for a B&B in this location, especially considering all that you get for this price. Rooms range from $135 to $295 per night, for double occupancy, depending on the room and the season, and this includes a full breakfast, afternoon refreshments, VCR or DVD, on-site parking, private baths, refrigerators, a/c., afternoon refreshments, beach umbrellas, chairs and towels, in addition to Wireless web access. I think that this is a terrific deal, so much so that I don't know why poeple would stay in a hotel in Cape May, when you get so much for this amount, and personal attention.

It's obvious why this B & B has climbed in popularity and in notoriety. Not only is it beautifully decorated, but the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. To be quite honest, I wasn't sure if I would love all the lace, flowers and dark wood decor, but I found it charming, quaint and romantic. They don't allow young children to stay here, so the B & B had this calm peaceful air about it, which was greatly appreciated by us "old" folks, and I say "old" because we're only in our 20's, but still appreciate the peace and quiet. Below are photos of the room we stayed in (#15) and the bathroom tub/shower, which I thought was adorable. One of the things that I appreciated about this B & B is that they have so much to offer from their food to selection of activities to close proximity to the beach. The breakfasts were delicious, served from 8am to 10am each morning. The first day we had a choice of a play on eggs Benedict or French Toast, and my husband and I both had the eggs, and they were very tasty. In addition they had fresh fruit, a warm fruit dish, cereal, fruit drinks, coffee and a moist breakfast cake. On top of this, they offer tea and cookies in the afternoon, and then wine and cheese closer to dinner time. And if you had activities in mind, they offer complimentary bikes to use during your stay, towels and chairs for the beach, board games in their parlor, books and magazines you can read by the fire, and a selection of comfy chairs to choose from on the porch while you sip your wine or tea, or while you curl up with a good book to watch the sun set.
