Guest Houses

Guest Houses are private homes that offer accommodations—either single rooms or suites. Most of Cape May's Guest Houses are in the setting of a historic house, so you can enjoy the ambiance of a B&B with the freedom of being at a hotel. 

Like B&Bs, you’ll enjoy the benefit of a manager or innkeeper to assist with your stay, but you’ll have the independence to eat breakfast at your leisure at any of Cape May’s restaurants. Guest Houses offer amenities you would expect at a hotel, and many include kitchens or kitchenettes, making them a great option for families.
