I liked the quiet streets. made it easy to bike ride with kids and walk to beach. we are walkers so though it took some time, it wasn't that bad for us to walk to beach. House was quaint. nice living space. we cooked in several nights so kitchen was a plus versus a hotel room.

    I haven't stayed at a motel at the Jersey Shore in quite a while. I don't know what other towns are doing but Cape May has taken the typical Jersey Shore experience up quite a few notches. We felt like we were at a resort! Beach lounges and chairs and umbrellas included in the price of the room....WOW! Having the restaurant right there for quick meals...great! Free beach access with sprinklers to wash off sand at every beach entrance....amazing! We will definitely return.

    Very close to all the amenities & many options to be near water. Be aware that staying at the hotel gives you access to two lounge chairs at the beach but you have to pay for beach access, $8 per person plus an umbrella $15 & then we had to get two additional chairs at $40. This was annoying since we could have brought our own stuff instead.

    This is a lovely historic beachfront hotel that really tries to keep the tradition of a calm, relaxing beach vacation. There were excellent amenities, like beach chairs and umbrella included, and the atmosphere and location can't be beat. Our group spent a lovely evening on the porch with some great drinks and bar snacks. The service of the bellhops was really excellent.

    The staff and the amenities were exceptional. Breakfast, afternoon tea and the pre-dinner wine services were all a pleasant surprise. Available beach chairs, bikes, umbrellas and even towels gave a true sense of a prepared seaside resort getaway. This is truly a “gem” of the Jersey Shore.

    Clean and comfortable room. Very handy to have a little kitchenette for a family. Right on the beachfront although a little further from the “main” part of town. Great shuttle bus and beach chairs/umbrellas services.
