The B & B was beautiful!! The owner friendly & attentive. I loved that I was able to park my car and that everything was in walking distance. Sitting on the porch, drinking coffee in the morning and even at night was heavenly. I was really disappointed that breakfast was not served. The selection of coffee and tea were fabulous.!! Would definitely stay here again🏖️

This Victorian inn is beautiful. It was like staying at a museum. Beautiful antiques. My husband and I used the front porch rocking chairs frequently to relax and watch the world go by. It is in the heart of Cape May. Once we parked the car we walked everywhere.

Uncomfortable stay

We both came home with significant back pain due to very poor mattress. Told even though it is bed and breakfast no breakfast was provided not even packaged goods. Coffee and tea was available. Only one chair in room so had to sit in bed to play a game or go downstairs but tables were so cluttered there were limitations of space. Had to request heat twice. Received a response only once.

Charming Inn; Amazing Location

We loved our room; it was comfortable with a large bathroom. The inn itself was centrally located to everything; and the parking was very convenient. Sitting out on the wraparound porch was so relaxing. Would definitely choose these accommodations again.

It was a beautiful and homey place to spend the week in. My only complaint is that the bed was squeaky and the place smelled a little like moth balls. Nothing I couldn't get over quick! Felt right at home otherwise.

I LOVED Captain Mey's Inn. The picture you use in Orbitz doesn't do it justice! This was like a throwback in time to the Victorian era. The house was decorated impecibly. I had no idea (not mentioned ion your site) that they provided BEACH TOWELS AND CHAIRS to borrow. AND KAYAKS! There was a bike rack AND a BBQ to use if we wanted to, The Peter Styvesant room was great- clean bathroom and maid service daily. The dining room had a wine cooler, ice machine, coffe and teas. The hostess was very very pleasant.
