I very much enjoyed my stay. My room was lovely with a very comfortable bed and all the amenities you could anticipate. I highly recommend this B&B and would gladly return. However the next time I'd request a room on the lower floor to avoid climbing an additional flight of stairs.

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.
