Charming getaway
Perfect location and reasonably priced. Like much of Cape May, the amenities are Victorian era with updates, so the bathroom was nit ideal. But charming decor and breakfast.

Winter in Cape May
The house is beautiful. The room was spacious and clean. I wish the breakfast was more health conscious and used better ingredients and products. Other than that it is a very nice place. Very convenient to everywhere. Would stay again.

This bed and breakfast was charming and comfortable. The great & filling breakfast was served on a sunny enclosed porch. The problem we had was that right outside our window was a bright light for entry into the building that was like daylight all night long. After telling the staff about the problem, they changed the thin see through curtains to room darkening ones, which helped a little. What is actually needed are blackout curtains and blinds or shades. Do not book Room #3.
