Staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Quiet in the evening and breakfast on the porch was so relaxing. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order, really appreciated the homemade cookies in the afternoon as well. Very convenient location, easy walk to Washington Street Mall and the beach, parking on premises was also a plus. Can’t want to visit again!

Great B&B weekend
The warmth and friendliness of the staff and the fabulous breakfasts as well as cookies at tea time make this B&B a special experience. It's also very unusual to have a parking lot in Cape May. The location is great, very close to Washington Mall.
