An Award Winning Cape May Bed and Breakfast

Cape May Bed and Breakfast
Victorian Lace Inn, a colonial revival Cape May Bed and Breakfast Inn, is recognized as being one of the premier Cape May New Jersey lodging properties. Built in 1869, the award-winning Victorian Lace Inn Bed and Breakfast of Cape May, NJ welcomes visitors (of all ages) year-round.

The Inn, located just one short block from the beach, is a perfect home base for discovering all of the charms of Cape May New Jersey.

Picturesque and peaceful, Cape May is known for many things...it's "The Resort for All Seasons," and one of few places in the country where the entire city has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. Just recently, Forbes Traveler named Cape May as one of the "20 Prettiest Towns in America." That the beaches have also been named in a number of "Top 10" lists is not surprising either!

Cape May has much to offer, so there are lots of options to complete the experience. In addition to the beautiful Victorian homes and expansive beaches, Cape May has nearly 100 restaurants of all types. It's no wonder they are known as "The Restaurant Capitol of New Jersey."

Cape May events like the Cape May Music Festival, Cape May Jazz Festival, and year-round theater with Cape May Stage and the East Lynne Theater Company.

CApe May offers a huge range of activities for the entire family including fishing excursions and boating, whale-watching, parasailing, golf and tennis. And if you're looking for tours, museums, events and activities, the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts offers endless activities for enjoying Cape May. A carriage ride throughout the Cape May historic district is also a wonderful way to enjoy the sites and learn a little history!

One of the interesting facts that visitors may not know about Victorian Cape May, is that unlike beach towns to our north, Cape May was once part of the mainland before the canal was dug in 1942. That means the island is primarily of soil. You can walk off the Cape May beaches right into town and enjoy the lush gardens and walk in the shade of 300 year-old sycamores tree-lined streets.

Cape May, New Jersey is also the premier birding destination in New Jersey and North America...a rest stop for hundreds of species of migratory birds. Because Cape May is at the confluence of the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, the birds find protected wetlands and shelter, food and water.

You will find so much to do in Cape May, whether just strolling our hamlet, riding bikes around the island, kayaking in the back bays, or heading off-island to explore places like Leamings Run Gardens, the (fabulous) Cape May County Zoo or take the Cape May-Lewes Ferry across the bay to shop at the tax-free outlets in Delaware.

Whatever your plans, whatever you're seeking, it's probably right here in Cape May. I invite you to visit this extraordinary island and stay at the Victorian Lace Inn in one of their comfortable suites, condos or cozy cottages.
