Beauclaires Bed & Breakfast Inn

Very curteous innkeeper. Perfect location. Great house. Great breakfast. Would revisit.

We spent Easter weekend at Beauclaire's and would highly recommend the inn. It is beautifully furnished, comfortable and is only steps from the beach. Since it was early in the year, Cape May was fairly quiet, but most businesses were open, and we experienced some fine meals. Most importantly, Joe Giovanetti, was an incredible host who served up wonderful breakfasts and gave us great referrals to area restaurants. He is an extraordinary innkeeper and an engaging fellow; the interesting discussions among Joe and the guests at breakfast time were an added bonus to a memorable stay.

It was our first time staying at a B&B. Joe was great. The room was great. The B&B was is walking distance to everything. We ate at a very nice local resturant and the night time entertainment was exciting.Breakfast in the morning was excellent. We will definaely stay again.

We've been coming to cape may for years and so glad we found Beauclaires after all this time. The house is charming, beautifully decorated, rooms well appointed, breakfast and afternoon snacks were amazing. Cant say enough about the Innkeeper. He made our stay. A wonderful stay.

A lovely home with a wonderful innkeeper Joe ! Had a great night's stay wish we had the time to spend another evening ! Enjoyed the refreshing lemonade on the porch haven't done that in years !

If you are coming to Cape May for a relaxing vacation where you don't want to worry about your accomodations, come here! All you have to worry about is how to long to relax on the beach, where to shop and eat- because where you are staying is being taken care of and not a worry at all! Beauclaires is a wonderful b and b in Cape May. I have stayed at many places here and this is the best one yet- a surprise to find after 15 years of coming to Cape May...

I felt very cared for during my stay at Beauclaires. There were lots of thoughtful details in the parlour for guests: baskets of area menus to preview, Sherry in decanters for your pleasure, wine and cheese at any time for snacking in common areas. The breakfast was delicious and the company was charming.

Place needs work, breakfasts were ok, but great location.

The house was nice with a great location within easy walking distance to the beach and the town. We could glimpse the ocean and the other houses decorated for Christmas from our Haley's Cottage room. Although the house was part of the tour, we guests were never given a tour or told anything about the house. Although Joe was there when we were, he never introduced himself nor did we get cookies our second night there. All in all a wonderful experience and one we would like to repeat at a different time of year.

We have stayed at many B&Bs and Beauclaires is at the top of the list. Joann couldn't have been more helpful and accomodating! My only complaint was that the electric fireplace didn't work. It would have been nice to turn off the heat and turned that on instead.

The breakfast was outstanding. Nice and clean. Close to the beach and shops

We only were able to stay one night. The furnishings in the home are beautiful antiques. We stayed in Haley's Cottage, which is a large comfortable room in the front of the house. You can see the beach from the side window. The full breakfast in the dining room was wonderful and filled us for the day's drive as we headed back toward Chicago. Very nice B&B.

The location was great to the beach. The front porch was very relaxing. The room was clean and very attractive, bathroom small. All in all, a pleasant stay. We love Cape May and the easy accessibility to dining, shopping, nature, etc. We rarely take our car once we arrive.

Ambiance was good. I spent very little time in the house, so can't say much about it. Owner was very friendly and helpful.

We stayed in the best room- the Beauclaires Suite. This was our second two-night stay at Beauclaire's this summer. Most everything was wonderful about our stay, perfect location in Cape May- close to beach and shops, Acme, and restaurants. Our room had a fairly large refrigerator which was convenient for keeping bottled water cold before heading out on the beach. The air conditioner was a bit noisy, which bothered Rachel a bit when trying to go to sleep. The breakfast food was excellent, but the portion size was kind of small- did not fill us up for very long. Afternoon tea and treats was outstanding- our hostess made us chocolate chip cookies and brownies which tided us over until dinner time. The chamber maid and hostess were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back again next summer.

We have stayed at Beauclaires B+B before. The location is unbeatable and parking is on site which is a huge plus. None of this park at the municipal lot deal! Joe the owner is a great guy always willing to chat it up and service is wonderful.

Location, location, location! Beauclaires was situated in the most perfect locale; 1/2 block from the beach and 2 blocks from the walking mall. Joe was superb; friendly and helpful but not overbearing. The guests were diverse and our sit down breakfast prompted fasinating discussions. The rooms were exquisite and spotless. We can't wait to return. We have been going to Cape May for 40 years and this was our best experience!

Great location and the free parking was nice. My only complaint was the breakfast. You need to come up with some more options for breakfast. Egg caseroles three days in a row is pretty bland and no toast ever. I expected french toast for breakfast one day according to the other reviews, but they must have been older reviews because we did not see any kind of bread or toast. And please serve a whole danish per person, not just a quarter of one. Or at least put a basket of toast or bagels on table. At least the weather was perfect!

We just made a repeat visit to Beauclaire's. Our landlord Joe could not have been more accomodating. We will definitely be returning!

I had actually reserved the Beauclaire suite for 3 people but I ended up going by myself which worked out better as it would have been a little cramped for 3 adults. The room was fine and the bed really comfortable. I was a little disappointed not to have a welcome basket in the suite as advertised on the website. Also the first night since I was the only guest the fireplace was not working and the atmosphere was a little gloomy. I was really looking forward to sitting in the parlor by the fireplace on a cold winter night. The next day since there were 4 more guests, I came down for breakfast and found the fireplace was lit. I guess the innkeeper did not feel it was necessary to bother for just one guest the day before. It was not my worst experience at a B&B but I have had far better experiences elsewhere.

The Beauclaire is the very best of the best Bed and Breakfast's in Cape May! The house and rooms are furnished beautifully and Joe, the innkeeper, is the nicest person. This house is located close enough to everything you would want to visit that you can leave your car in the driveway and walk everywhere! Shopping, the promonade, the beach, and just walking around the area! The breakfasts are delicious, and you really feel like you have a home away from home when you stay here! A Cape May must!

This is a wonderful B&B right near the beach. Its a quick walk to the beach and there are many comforts of staying there. The breakfasts are great!!! The coffee and tea are plentiful in the AM and the afternoon snack is a welcome treat and good reason to get out of the sun! Definitely a keeper.

This fine B & B is superbly located in historic Cape May, within easy walking distance of the beach ( a half block away!), fine dining, and shopping, as well as the tree-lined, garden-studded streets of this Victorian-era resort town. A real plus is Beauclaire's off-street, on-site parking, a rarity here. It "met our expectations" on all counts because the B & B's website is so informative. We have high expectations, and they were fully met. When we stayed, innkeeper Joe served breakfast every day at 9 a.m., with coffee available at 8 a.m. It was a pleasure meeting the other discerning guests from all over the East Coast and Canada. This is a fully-restored Victorian private home, with period furniture and the amenity of private bathrooms for each of the guestrooms. It was unusually hot while we were there, and we were grateful for the in-room thermostat-controlled air conditioning unit, which was installed in one wall near the ceiling and worked efficiently and quietly, along with the ceiling fan.

We were looking to get away for a little rest before hosting Thanskgiving Dinner. This was the perfect stay. I felt very comfortable. We met great and interesting people. The food was phenomenal but most importantly, this Inn was in such a great location and our room had a view of the ocean. Also, the rates are extremely reasonable. Looking forward to statying in the summer!

oct 25 2009 everything was perfect now on everytime i go to capemay i will stay here joann is the nicest person that you could meet better than the queen up the the street be their next year

I stayed for one night in 8/07 and really enjoyed it. The house felt as quaint as the pictures. Joe, the owner, is a friendly yet no-nonsense guy who helped out with several requests. The breakfast he prepared both looked and tasted delicious. The house is very close to the beach, great restaurants, and that street with all the touristy stuff. Finally, free convenient parking made coming & going easy. I enjoyed evening tea and meeting other guests on the front porch rocking chairs. Highly recommended.
