Rhythm of the Sea

Come and see why we are voted one of the top 10 Inns of the Mid-Atlantic Region! The only thing we overlook, is the ocean. Our Craftsman-style Inn, circa 1915, includes many of the design features commonly associated with Craftsman... more

This was our first trip to Cape May and we loved Rhythm of the Sea. The breakfasts were amazing! I would be back for those alone...but then add in being right across from the ocean and just a short jaunt to the shops. Robin even accomodated us with an earlier breakfast because we had a reserved ferry time for our return trip. I could not have asked for more hospitality and that's a lot coming from a southern girl. We usually go to Charlestown, SC or Savannah, GA for our Bed and Breakfast trips but Rhythm of the Sea rivaled our favorite B&Bs there! We'll be back!

Room was dark and dingy. Bathroom had a shower stall that was built for midget. TV was so small I needed a telescope to see it from across the room. The bed was very squeaky. Front porch only had seating for six people to relax. Breakfast was only served from 8:30 to 9:30 am, no exceptions. This unfortunately turned us off from returning to Cape May.

Innkeeper Response
Thank you for your gift of constructive criticism. We appreciate knowing the things you brought to our attention as we are constantly working to improve our facility. The ‘Atlantic Vista’ room is sun-lit all day long and is ‘enveloped in a bold floral, rich mocha and sunny hues of yellow’. ‘Dark and dingy’ is subjective. Even though the ensuite bathroom is a nice size the shower stall is 28” with no way to enlarge it. We will post the stall size on our web site so that there are no surprises for our guests of more stature. The bed squeak was an easy fix! Our ‘Stickley’ beds are made to the highest standards of heirloom quality and all solid wood. Sometimes the humidity of the sea air can cause this to happen. Thanks to your comment regarding the TV a larger television has been installed on a TV cabinet. Our front porches face the beach. There are four groupings of seats spread between three porches enough for 10-12 guests. It is rare that all of these seats are in use at once. In an effort to accommodate everyone, breakfast is served, and individually cooked, between 8:30 am and 9:30 am. As a small facility, we only have staff for a few hours in the morning and then the business day begins! There are no rules, simply guidelines. Our food is one of the main draws that bring guests back year after year. It is a pity you did not mention anything at check in, when we told you our breakfast times, about your preference for a later breakfast because we have made exceptions before. We hope that you will not let your dissatisfaction with us deter you from visiting Cape May again. With 62 bed and breakfasts in town there is bound to be something to accommodate your needs. It is a pity we were not given the opportunity to rectify these issues during your stay. Perhaps then you would have experienced a positive visit and could have reviewed us more graciously. We wish you the very best. Robyn Wendt Innkeeper/Owner

We found Rhythm of the Sea not only beautiful, but very comfortable, homey and romantic - everything we were looking for in a relaxing getaway. The rooms, oceanfront views and food were all fabulous. But it was the innkeepers, Wolff and Robyn, who really made the trip special. From the moment we arrived, they were like old friends. They are both fascinating, warm and funny, and the times we spent chatting over coffee or a glass of wine were our most memorable moments of the trip. We only met the manager, Julie, at rthe end of our stay, but she was equally friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back!

Neophytes to the Jersey Shore Bed & Breakfast experience, we were initiated when invited to a wedding in Cape May. Considering my husband's propensity for always being able to find something wrong no matter where we go, I was not going into the weekend with great expectations; what a magnificent surprise!!!!!!!! From the moment we walked through the entrance and were greeted by Julie, to the sad farewell to Robyn & "Otie", we were made to feel more welcome than I thought possible. Wolfgang's breakfasts were amazing, the rooms serene, quiet, and comfortable. We are endlessly grateful to have discovered this Cape May gem, and are so anticipating our next visit. Thank you Wolfgang, Robyn and Julie for all that you did to provide us with a superb escape!

My husband and I stayed at the Rhythm of the Sea for our honeymoon weekend. We couldn't have picked a better place. The room was beautiful and having the view of the ocean from bed was spectacular. Robyn, Wolfgang, and Julie were gracious hosts who made us feel like visiting family, not customers. It was truly like spending time with old friends. The breakfasts were the highlight of our dining for the weekend (and sometimes required a nap after eating). We will definitely be planning another stay!

My husband & I stayed at Rhythm of the Sea for our "Babymoon" - one last getaway before our first child was born. It was such a wonderful, relaxing few days! The views are amazing, we had fun playing pool, and the best part of our stay is a tie between the fabulous meals we ate & the wonderful hosts who served them to us. Robyn & Wolf were so friendly & welcoming! And our authentic German dinner was probably the best meal I've ever had! Though our stay was all too brief, we carry with us such wonderful memories from our time there (2 years later). I know we'll return again someday. ~Heather Mazzeo Lumberton, NJ

The only downfall to our stay was that we did not book 3 nights. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip because our hosts were so gracious. Julie made us feel like we were at home and meeting Robin was like seeing an old friend. The room was great and the beach was perfect. Use of the bikes and beach stuff was a great perk. Our dinner at The Pier House was great however, if you are looking for a secluded romantic experience I would check other spots. By the way, breakfast was oustanding. We can not wait for another opportunity to spend some time in our new home away from home.

This was our first trip to Cape May and there were so many B & B's to choose from - luckily we chose this one, based on the description on their website. The hosts are friendly but respect your privacy; the owner/chef makes the best French toast I have ever had; and the ambiance of this inn is totally laid back and welcoming.
