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.

I wasn’t clear if the woman Nancy, who greeted us was the owner of the property. Immediately she made us feel welcome with her warm smile and friendly attitude. We reserved the cottage, which was absolutely phenomenal. clean private With lots of room and fully furnished and stocked up with plates and silverware and a coffee pot with coffee. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. We cannot wait to go Go back again, but this time we will spend several days instead of one night. We had no idea how great it would be. Cannot say enough about the delicious, homemade pancakes and sausage and fresh brewed coffee. So accommodating and friendly. This is a 5 star property.
