The room is spotless and everything looks brand new. It was also very close to all of the attractions I was looking for. The only problem was they are redoing the sidewalks and we had to walk in the street or take an alternate route.

The Boarding House was so cute. The room was gorgeous and had everything we needed. This was also our first time traveling with our dog, and it was a seamless process. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. We ended up getting engaged on this trip so the memory is even more special to us!

This is an amazing property. Unfortunately the town decided to tear up the street at 6:50 am! What a wake up call. Oh well…

We brought our dog with us for the first time while traveling. While I was a little weary about this the boarding house eased my worries as they're extremely dog friendly! The staff was great and very accommodating. Anyone who is planning a trip to Cape May with their dogs would be foolish not to stay at the Boarding House.

Not all restorations need to be Victorian!
It was lovely to stay at this beautifully restored mid century modern hotel. The decor is simple and very coastal with ship lat walls and planked floors. The amenities are too many to list. The beds and linens - were uber comfortable. The bathroom shower was a luxury and so was the pour over coffee. We brought two mugs home wit us. Parking is not easy so get there close to check in if you can. And plan to leave your car. We walked into town in just a few minutes every day.

We LOVED our stay in Cape May, and the Boarding House was a big part of that. Great location - VERY walkable to everything on the shore. Clean, quiet, and the rooftop deck is a nice addition! The staff was tremendous from pre-booking through the stay itself. I think the only possible critical thing I would have to say is in reference to the parking, which isn't really in their control. It's tight, and each room gets 1 space. If one person doesn't park correctly, it's an issue. However, on street parking is right there, and I wouldn't have any safety / crime concerns at all.

Couldn’t ask for a more hospitable place to stay in Cape May than The Boarding House. Truly focused on hospitality and customer experience. Not only was the vibe super cool and casual making it a perfect beach getaway but our room was also clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!
