    CALL FOR REAL-TIME RESERVATIONS AND AVAILABILITY 877-923-9232 The Bayberry Inn, known for great hospitality, beautiful orchids, and ideal location, is one of the oldest homes in Cape May. The front of the house, a Carpenter Gothic, circa 1856, was built by Joseph Q. Williams, a young carpenter and mayor of Cape May during the Civil War. The original house, which includes the dining room, was built in 1800. Andy & Toby bought the house in 1999, and now welcome guests from around the world to their seaside retreat. We offer you four comfortable guest rooms and a whirlpool suite. Our guests enjoy a peaceful setting enhanced by blooming orchids, fine antiques, and gracious hospitality. Open year round, conveniently located, with on-site parking for all rooms. PLEASE CALL US, OR VISIT OUR WEB SITE FOR RESERVATIONS 877-923-9232 (TOLL-FREE)

    Toby and Andy are the best hosts. Where else can you get a 3 course breakfast. Yes, that means dessert for breakfast. Each course cooked by Toby is announced with flair by Andy. All breakfasts are served at one table so all the guests get to converse. It is a refreshing change from the anonymity of hotels.

    It was an excellent three days spent at the Bayberry Inn. We got plenty of rest and the host/owners were the best.

    The Bayberry Inn was one of the best experiences in Cape May that we ever had. We planned a girls weekend for the month of December and enjoyed every minute of it. Both Saturday and Sunday morning we were greated with the smell of coffee brewing....and a delicious home made full course breakfast. After our day of shopping for Christmas Treasures we came home to fresh baked cookies and tea. The room was very clean, cozy and very private. If you want to experience the true feeling of a Victorian B & B....The Bayberry Inn is the place for you. Dawn Ciganik, Montgomery County, Pa

    This was our first visit to Cape May, New Jersey, and our first stay in a Bed and Breakfast. This visit was one of the most enjoyable vacations we have experienced in a long time. Our stay was relaxing and comfortable. We were welcomed by Toby and Andy upon our arrival, and given a brief tour of their home. Bayberry Inn is appointed with lovely antiques and beautiful orchids. The history of the home, and the host's own local ties to Cape May, underscore the authenticity of the period of their home, and the couple's roots. One feels the establishment of the Bayberry Inn in Cape May. Toby and Andy are both very knowledgeable in the home's history and Cape May itself. A deliscious breakfast is served every morning at nine o'clock. This is a three course meal, with a beautifully set table, served with grace and style. Each course was a surprising delight. The company around the table was kind, interesting, and we held great conversation. We reserved the Rose Room, which was cozy and comfortable. This room was without a television, but that was no disappointment. We were occupied every day exploring the town's many unique shops, history, and restaurants. Our hosts suggested several restaurants, which were excellent. We also read about and selected several restaurants, which were superb. Between shopping and dining out, we took pleasure in the cool comfort of our room. Our stay was a delightful escape from daily routine. We felt pampered by Toby and Andy's warm and inviting manner, and loved their home. This will be the standard to which I will hold every other Bed and Breakfast we may visit in the future. But the only Bed and Breakfast, and resort town I wish to stay in, is the Bayberry Inn, Cape May, New Jersey. It was a slice of heaven for me. I cannot wait to return.

    The highlight of our trip!

    We found that place by luck. The hosts make you feel like you are at home. They are very friendly, delicate, minutious and are concerned in making your stay a perfect one and the best one ever. This historic house is charming and classy. It is very near from the beach and from pretty much everything you can do in Cape May. It is quiet at night, bed is very comfortable and everything was extremely clean. The breakfast we had was sublime. For your adventure at the beach, they offer you beach towels, beach chairs and an outside shower. We would definitely go back!
