    It exceeded our expectations, a very clean and quaint place with a great location. Susan and Carl are incredibly welcoming, breakfast was outstanding! They even had snacks and cake for us ready all the time which we enjoyed tremendously. They gave great recommendations about the area. We look forward to coming back and will certainly stay here again!

    The bed is perfection! Sheets and towels are lovely! The couch was cozy too. The manager Brian was incredibly nice and helpful. The Inn host (can’t recall name) greeted us at check inn and was also very nice and gave us good info around what would be open. (We went off season in the winter) Location is 100%

    Very short drive to Cape May. Very quiet neighborhood. Plenty of available parking. House was indeed cozy, though the lower level remained chilly even with the heat on.(late December stay). House was well appointed, beds were very comfortable and there were lots of thoughtful touches throughout.

    Wonderful historic B&B, with beautiful room, comfortable beds and charming antique furnishings. Great homemade breakfast, and really friendly hosts. 10 minute walk to beach and center as described. All the small details added on top of it (beach chairs, beach towels, etc) made this a fantastic stay.
