Charming getaway
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.

Winter in Cape May
The house is beautiful. The room was spacious and clean. I wish the breakfast was more health conscious and used better ingredients and products. Other than that it is a very nice place. Very convenient to everywhere. Would stay again.
