A week in August at The Mooring has become our traditional Cape May vacation. In fact, we make our reservations for the coming year before we check out from our current stay. The rooms are wonderfully comfortable, beautifully decorated and imaginatively appointed. There’s an ongoing program of upgrading and modernizing, without sacrificing the Victorian charm. The innkeepers, Leslie and Vincent, have created a warm and welcoming environment and have mastered the little things that elevate a great stay to one that’s unforgettable. The service is thorough and attentive without being overbearing. The breakfasts are imaginative and delightfully prepared. The meals are served in an elegant but unimposing dining room where, instead of dining family-style with assigned seating times, guest have their own tables and can wander in anytime during breakfast hours. We’re always made to feel like welcome friends and have come to value Vincent’s advice and his extensive, insider’s knowledge of the area. I would recommend The Mooring to anyone considering a vacation or even a long weekend in Cape May.

My husband and I recently came back from a 3 day stay. This was our first time at a bed and breakfast. We were very pleased. Vince was extremly helpful and good natured. Our room, #12, was quite cozy, bright, and had a good size bathroom. The decor was beautiful and we enjoyed the cool evening breeze as we sast on the front porch. Breakfast was excellent and we loved the afternoon tea (actually iced tea) that was provided everyday. The location is perfect, only 2 blocks away from the beach, and walking distant from everything. Parking is key in this area, and we were so happy to have our own parking spot. The only thing I can say is if you have a large SUV and you book room #12, drive another car. The space was not large enough. Vince was still able to accomodate us however. We enjoyed our stay immensly, and recommend it to anyone. Don't forget to try the scones during breakfast. They are out of this world!!

My husband and I spent the weekend at The Mooring to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful stay. The room was perfect, we loved hanging out on the porch, every detail was well thought out, and breakfast was fantastic. We can't wait to get back again!

We have been staying at The Mooring for at least five years, often two or three times a year at different seasons. We select one of the smallest rooms just to save a bit on our total trip but the room is always spotless, the breakfasts plentiful, on-site parking, great porch for relaxing and people watching, guest kitchen AND just one block from the beach. Leslie and Vince are attentive but not intrusive.

We have stayed at the Mooring two summers in a row. Both times, we were delighted with our room, our delicious breakfasts, and the innkeepers. Vince is always there to answer any questions you may have and help in any way possible. We highly reccomend this inn! ( we will be there again this summer!)

My two girlfriends and I visit Cape May once a year during a house tours weekend. This was the first time we stayed at the Mooring. I don't even know where to begin, so I'll begin with Vince. He was very helpful when I called to make our arrangements. When we arrived, he actually carried our luggage in (and back out when we left), something that's never happened to me at a Cape May B&B before. He gave such detailed information on the various aspects of the inn (times for everything, how to get back inside late in the evening, etc) that I thought he must have been a former teacher. He also offered himself for any recommendations we might need for dinner, activities, etc. Our room was beyond wonderful. The detail on the woodwork and wall treatments, furniture, etc was so extensive that, even after being there for over a day, we kept discovering details we hadn't noticed before (Vince gave full credit for that to Leslie). The Inn itself was convenient to everything we wanted to do. We parked the car in the provided off-street parking and never got in it again until we left. Breakfast was a delight. Despite the coconut french toast being highly recommended, when I explained that I didn't like coconut, I was offered scrambled eggs; it was made clear to me that it was no problem to support my pickiness. Our weekend in Cape May was perfect. Much of it was due to our stay at the Mooring.

My husband and I stayed at the Mooring for our five year anniversary (it was a surprise for my husband) Leslie and Vince were wonderful from the first phone call I made to inquire about the B & B, and throughout our entire stay. Leslie even went above & beyond and was totally discreet with making reservations so my husband did not have a clue about the trip until the the day that our vacation started. Leslie was also kind enough to recommend a local store that would deliver wine and cheese or she would have a bottle of chilled champagne in our room. I decided on the champagne and was not disappointed. I also cannot say enough about Vince! Friendly, wonderful personality. He knows his way around Cape May! Vince made a recommendation of Oyster Bay for dinner and we were both beyond happy with his suggestion. The breakfast would rival and gourmet restaurant! The baked coconut french toast was amazing! Vince and Leslie even sell a cookbook featuring not only the baked coconut french toast, but some other amazing recipes as well. I cannot say enough about our stay at the Mooring and I even recommended the the B & B to my mother in law who frequently visits Cape May. My husband and I will defiantly book our next stay in Cape May at the Mooring next year.

This was a fantastic 3 days in Labor Day weekend 2006. I was pleasantly surprised at the decor and the inn keepers were very informative about rest. and shops in Cape May. Their breakfast was superb, they would switch from savory to sweet for breakfast. Afternoon tea was served which was very nice. My room was decorated with dainty antiques but tastfully done. I will visit there on Labor Day 2007.
