We’ve known it all along here at our Cape May bed and breakfast, but frankly, we didn’t want to say it and appear boastful. Now, someone else has said it for us; Cape May gives out a hearty shout of thanks to Forbes Traveler for listing us as one of the prettiest towns in America.

Hereford Inlet Lighthouse

July 19th, 2010

Hereford Inlet Lighthouse is also close to our inn – less than fifteen miles away – and well worth a visit. You could even bike there, if you were so inclined. Read the rest of this entry »


The Perfect Day for a Cape May B&B Innkeeper

July 12th, 2010

Read on to learn the perfect day for a Cape May Bed and Breakfast innkeeper – Barbara. This was first published in the May/June 2010 edition of Cape May’s Exit Zero Magazine.

My perfect day starts with the beautiful blue Cape May sky. From my bed, I can see it through the transom above the door that leads to our garden. The bright colors of an early dawn set the tone for my day.

Barbara, with a perfect cup of coffee after a perfect morning stroll.

After a while, I stumble out to fix the first pot of coffee. I have the system down to an art. I can just plant my feet in front of the coffee maker and Voila! – four minutes later – Juan Valdez is wafting through the house.

While the coffee is brewing I set off for a walk around town. I love to take in the rhythms of early mornings in Cape May, whether it is folks just sitting on benches gazing at the ocean, people on their early morning power walk, the more energetic line skaters, or my neighbor, Jay Schatz opening his inn and feeding his cats. Often I walk to the ever-changing Cove and then pause for a moment at every opening at the Pavilion – each offers a different and beautiful view of Cape May. Read the rest of this entry »

The Delaware Bay Lighthouse Cruise

June 17th, 2010

We hope you will climb to the top of the Cape May Lighthouse when next you stay at our Cape May bed and breakfast: it’s good exercise, and the view is terrific.Cape May Lighthouse Read the rest of this entry »
