Lovely Victorian home, very clean and wonderful service. Breakfasts were exceptional! The only drawback was we could not have a room with 2 beds so someone had to sleep on pull out which she said was not very comfortable. Overall a wonderful stay!

This is our favorite place to stay in Cape May. Many things are walkable from here, and there is a parking lot where we can leave the car. We visit 2 times a year, and have never had any issues. We enjoy the large porch and of course the home baked cookies at tea time.
