We stayed in Edward's room. I hadn't realized the property layout. This room was on the first floor right near the front door and the two windows on either side of the bed look onto the porch. When people are on the porch talking, you can hear them. You also hear people coming and going and talking in the parlor or foyer. The room itself was nicely decorated, but some of the furnishing seemed a bit unstable, especially the wardrobe. The temperature of the room was good for us, however, it should be noted that we were told we could only control the AC and that if adjustments needed to be done to the heat, we would have to call Paula and let her know and she would adjust. I mention this because the website description says you have control over both, which is not really accurate. Paula was very nice and accomodating. She was able to meet dietary restrictions and changes. The food was amazing! The wine and cheese or cookies in the afternoon were a nice touch as was the availability of tea at any time. I would recommend the inn, but I would not stay in Edward's room again because of the noise factor.

The location was close to everything that I wanted to do so I just parked the car and walked the whole weekend. Paula gave us some excellent dinner recommendations and she was very helpful with a heat issue we had in the room. The breakfast was very good as well and the hotel was clean and customer service was good as well.

Very nice place. We arrived several hours early and planned to walk around town before checking in, but the owner spotted us parking on the street in front of the building and invited us to check in early. Lovely home and they can easily accommodate vegetarian/vegan requests.

Cape May with Love…
From the moment we arrived, Paula treated us as long lost friends. Our room was simply beautiful and comfortable. From the afternoon wine and cheese to the breakfasts that were clearly prepared with love, we felt at home. It is rare to find this kind of hospitality on the road.

Online photos of this B&B don't do it justice. It is beautiful and immaculate inside and out. Paula and her staff are fabulous. We will definitely stay there again! The only negative is parking. The good thing is, once you park, everything is so walkable, you don't need to move your vehicle till you are leaving for home.

Property was lovely. Owner was curt and not particularly friendly. She was anxious during checkout and practically carried our bags out for us! Was it because we’re an LGBTQ couple or just an “off” day?
