Picture yourself at the beach in Cape May on a sunny winter's day.

We’re offering a Winter Special at our Cape May Bed and Breakfast that’s too good to pass up. It really is.

The winter months are quiet in Cape May; fewer people come here when it’s too chilly to sunbathe. Because of that, it’s deliciously peaceful. We can stroll the beach any time of day and have it mostly to ourselves. We can bike all over town at our leisure. We can eat where we want, when we want.

Yet it is just as beautiful here as it always is. Many inns and historic homes are still festively lit after dark, making evening strolls a delight. On sunny days, it’s good to feel the warm sand between our toes. On blustery days, we curl up by a warm fire, book in hand.

Between now and Easter, weekend nights are a mere $195; Sundays through Thursdays are just $165 for one night and $300 for two nights. If you stay at our Cape May Bed and Breakfast for a third night during the week, it will cost you only $99.

The bikes await. The beaches beckon. The fire is crackling in the fireplace. Winter is still here. Make the best of it. Come to Cape May.

Please see our specials page for more details.

When we drive back towards our Cape May Bed and Breakfast after being away, we keep the windows open. We can always tell when we’re approaching home, even if sitting in the passenger seat with eyes closed. The air becomes noticeably cleaner, with a hint of tanginess thanks to the salt water marshes.

We know we’re home when the tension is gone from our necks and shoulders. The buzz of cities and freeways recedes, replaced by the lulling rhythm of the surf. This happens every time we return to our Cape May Bed and Breakfast, no matter the season.

The beauty of Cape May.

Yet autumn has always been a favorite time for us. Cape May doesn’t have the most spectacular fall colors (though the leaves do exchange green for muted shades of red, orange, and yellow), and it doesn’t always have glorious fall weather. Sometimes days are blustery, sometimes they’re grey, and sometimes they are warm and clear. It doesn’t matter.

Autumn beach walks in Cape May are a panacea – they make everything better. We bundle up to the nose on cold days and unzip our jackets on warm days. We sit on driftwood in the sun, and lean against each other when it’s windy. We return to the inn refreshed, ready to greet guests, make another pot of coffee, and serve glasses of Barbara’s special punch.

Spend a few days at our Cape May Bed and Breakfast this autumn. Come here to celebrate a special occasion, or simply for a little R&R. Take advantage of our Midweek Special if you can, or come for a weekend. It doesn’t matter when you come, so long as you walk on the beach while you’re here.

Cape May is 2 hours from New York City, Wilmington, and Trenton, and it’s 90 minutes from Philadelphia. So close, and yet so different. When you drive towards Cape May, the first thing you notice is the beauty of the open marshlands, and the salty fragrance of the sea. Once you’re in town, you realize the tension has left your shoulders, and that you feel lighter, happier. This is especially true at this time of year.

Children are back in school now, and families are entrenched in routines during the week: dance classes, instrument lessons, soccer games…. The air feels crisp. Still, folks are reluctant to bid farewell to summer. September and even October weekends in Cape May are often abuzz with activity. If you’re looking for a true escape from stress and a truly delightful quick getaway, we suggest visiting Cape May midweek.

Sleep in while you're here, or get up early and watch the sun rise over Cape May Point.

Instead of driving to work one morning, sleep in a bit and then drive here. Traffic will be light, and by the time you get here, there will undoubtedly be a smile on your face.

There is plenty to do in Cape May midweek, and there are fewer people doing it. (more…)
