+Breakfast was exceptional and we loved the private table seating. Rooms very clean and cute. The dormer windows need repair. The staff was mostly pleasant. Some not so warm and friendly but orhers always smiling and pleasant. Location is perfect. All in all, very nice place to stay.

+We have stayed here a few times and love the convenience of being a short walk from everything we like to do. The property is beautiful and we love sitting on the front porch for tea!

+Great location, good breakfast but the room was very run down. Large, Dark stain on the carpet next to the bed. Dusty furnishing and very worn out. Place was tidy but not clean. And it was evident in the reception parlor also. I would not stay there a second time.

+Awesome breakfasts in a great setting: front veranda or an enclosed side porch. Yummy tea and cookies in the afternoon. The Diana room was wonderful and typically quirky. Showers were hot. Room was dark and quiet. Nice to have a ceiling fan. I wouldn’t recommend for anyone with stair climbing challenges as the stair is steep and narrow. Parking on site and off-season we had no parking issues anywhere.

+The structure is a Victorian era, so there are creaky stairs and oddly shaped rooms and that of course is part of the charm of staying in Cape May's Victorian B&B, If you want modern AC, lighting and so forth go to the holiday inn. The AC worked fine, the lighting was quaint, the wifi was good. The hot water was hot and the bathroom was nice, clean, comfortable and relaxing. Service and Breakfast were awesome and filling. (I've been to some that had a spray of asparagus with maple syrup) We parked the car on the private lot and didn't move it until we left. Good deal in a beach town... Will probably be back one day.
