The Veranda - A Place to Sip, Savor & Soak in Cape May Charm
Built in 1871, the inn features lofty ceilings, full-length windows, and a sweeping veranda—hallmarks of classic Victorian architecture. During the warmer months, the veranda becomes a favorite gathering place where guests begin their morning with a two-course homemade breakfast or unwind in the evening with a glass of wine as the gentle ocean breeze drifts through the historic streets. It is the perfect setting to relax, reconnect, and take in the charm and romantic ambiance of Columbia Avenue.
A Victorian Gem in the Heart of Cape May
"The property and rooms are absolutely stunning (and cozy)! For a busy bed & breakfast, it felt like we had the inn to ourselves and it was probably the cleanest place I have ever stayed in. The breakfast was incredible and the inn keepers/manager were the perfect hosts!
Side note: it's in the best location between downtown AND the beach."
- Lauren F.
