Rhythm of the Sea

We recently stayed at the Rhythm of the Sea in Cape May. First, the Inn is gorgeous, great location and tastefully decorated. Everything was spotless and well maintained. We did not have one complaint! Our host Julie was fantastic. She did everything to make us feel welcome and right at home. She offered a lot of local suggestions regarding dinner and site seeing. Breakfast, WOW this was amazing. Everything was homemade! The homemade Granola and and yogurt was out of this world. There was so much to say about how great our breakfast was each day that I would sum it up as GOURMET! We visited the Inn during the winter and it was quiet and relaxing which we actually loved. We enjoyed ourselves relaxing with a bottle of wine by the fireplace in the main living room downstairs. We were able to enjoy each others company without distractions from others which was priceless. Our room was nice with a gas fireplace. The room was nicely decorated with a very nice bathroom, and NEAT and CLEAN! If your looking for a B&B in Cape May (Rhythm of the Sea is the only one on beach front) this place will not disappoint you. We are hoping to get back here soon. Thank you Julie for your professionalism and welcoming demeanor made our first trip to a B & B in Cape May enjoyable. Room Tip: If Traveling in Winter I recommend the rooms with a fireplace it just adds to the ambiance. Though honestly we were able to see all the rooms and they are all nice, so you will not be disappointed. The room in the front of the Inn was very large with a fantastic view of the beach. They have a refrigerator for those that wish to bring drinks such as wine, soda or water in the lobby. Parking is on the property. If your looking to get away from busy crowds and want to avoid summer crowds then I would strongly suggest winter months here it was the most relaxing two days we have had in a long time!

We had a wonderful time. The room was great. The breakfasts were outstanding. And Robyn, Wolfgang, and Julie took great care of us. It was a wonderful way to spend a weekend during the holiday season. Plus Cape May was decorated beautifully for Christmas.

Julie is wonderful and very hospitable. She took excellent care of us. It's like having an extra girlfriend at the house. My friends and I do our now annual Cape May getaway weekend at Rhythm of the Sea. Very quaint, comfortable and neat & clean. The front porch is wonderful even if the weather is cold. We did our am devotions on the porch in the sun. 5 stars!!! Thanks Owners.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Rhythm in mid-October and it was amazing. Our room was gorgeous and had everything we needed! It was very comfortable and waking up to the sunrise was beautiful. The food was outrageous. Best food in Cape May hands down and coffee/tea readily available all day and night. Everyone there is very sweet and personable as well as very helpful with local suggestions. Rhythm has bikes available, lovely pool table, cozy fireplace and many areas to lounge. It's immaculate and you feel right at home! We highly recommend this B&B! ··Danielle&Carmelo

Been to stay at Rhythm of the Sea three times now and will continue going back.

My wife and I decided to visit Rhythm of the Sea for our fifth anniversary. We couldn't be happier with our decision. Robyn and Julie were consummate hosts. The food was delicious and the setting was peaceful and inviting. We'll definitely stay there again!

Rhythm's is the best B+B in Cape May. It is our home away from home, a place we love to come to and never want to leave.

Stayed there on the weekend of Nov 5, 2011. The place is on the beach, just outside of the historic district of cape may. We enjoyed the 15 minute walk along the beach to the commercial center, loved the room, sea isle oasis, with the large, clean bathroom. Breakfast was good (though I thought my eggs were a little runny), and had a good time chatting with the other guests over breakfast. We also enjoyed all the Stickley furniture throughout the house. This was what we were looking for, and we plan to return next time we're in Cape May.

we have stayed at Rhythm of the Sea several times and are planning already to return.

Our time at Rhythm of the Sea was AMAZING!!! Robyn was so lovely and helpful and the food was absolutely wonderful! Her husband does all the baking!!! Spectacular view - even during a Nor'easter. We will definitely be back!!!

My wife and I came for an October weekend getaway to celebrate our 40th. This B&B is top notch. It seemed our hosts, either Robyn or Wolfgang, were always available to offer advice or just chat. The rooms are excellent. We chose a room promising an ocean view and were not disappointed one bit - was exactly as we expected. I would certainly recommend Rhythm of the Sea. PD

We had a wonderful few days, thoroughly enjoyed the location, the rooms, the beach, the service and staff, breakfast was phenomenal and so was Robyn and Julie! Very friendly, welcoming. Felt like I was at home immediately. It's everything you see on the website and more.

A perfectly lovely stay at a perfectly lovely inn. We very much liked the feel of this place...a nice alternative to heavy Victorian decor. Our hosts were very pleasant, and the breakfasts were simply outstanding. A gorgeous location. On the more expensive end for us, but all in all it was worth it.

Rhythm of the Sea is a charming, seaside B&B decorated in Arts and Crafts furniture (the architectural/decorative style made famous by Frank Lloyd Wright). It is open and airy, with a large, friendly lobby and sun porches, which is a wonderful contrast to the dark, cluttered, Victorian B&Bs that predominate Cape May. The owner, Robyn, is warm, charming, and generous (she lends her guests beach bikes for no charge, has cookies and hot beverages available in the afternoon, etc.). Our room was gorgeous, fairly spacious, and tastefully decorated. We kept the windows open at night and the sea breeze was delightful. In all, we greatly enjoyed our stay at Rhythm of the Sea and will definitely stay there again.

We just got back from our stay at the Rhythm of the Sea. It was a wonderful experience as soon as we walked in the door. We were greeted by the manager, Julie, who made us feel most welcomed. The room was beautiful and well maintained. We were able to meet the owners Robyn and Wolfgang. They were such a delight to talk to and Wolfgang is quite the storyteller! :-) The breaksfasts were delicious, the property well maintained, and tjhe atmosphere calming. Thank you for an enjoyable weekend where we were pampered and relaxed within an hour of arrival. We will definitely go back.

The breakfasts were outstanding. Our host was very friendly and helpful. We would stay there again.

I wanted a quiet week by the ocean, listening to the waves while being pampered in a beautiful environment, and that's exactly what I found at Rhythm of the Sea. Julie was there if needed, but not intrusive, and the weekend manager, Ingrid, was excellently welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, and the bed was very comfy - some nights were cool, due to having my window open, and the downy comforter was just right. My favorite memory is waking early, going downstairs to the sunroom, opening the French doors to let the breeze in, and watching the people pass by with dogs, looking at the waves, and reading my book while the sun came up, all with a hot cup of coffee to sip on, and scents of breakfast being prepared wafting my way. I can't wait to return next year!

We so totally enjoyed our stay! We were greeted by the owners Robyn and Wolfgang and their two adorable 'children' (the kind with 4 legs). Robyn showed us to our room after a brief show around the house, and it was stunning - very open and airy and windows that overlooked the ocean. We relaxed with wine on the sun porch one evening and our coffee the next morning, feeling the ocean breezes blow over us! It was total relaxation, and peace - something we very much needed to put ourselves back in Rhythm with life! We highly recommend the stay - it was worth every penny! Oh and the breakfasts were outstanding as well!

My husband and I had an great time. The breakfast's were delicious. Our hosts were friendly and informative. Our only complaint was that our TV set was smaller than our laptop! We like to watch TV before we fall asleep and trying to see the TV from our bed was an eyestrain. Otherwise good location and a clean environment.

The accomodations are top notch and it is a great home away from home. Robyn and Wolfgang are the greatest host and we truly enjoy being in their company. My husband and I enjoyed our 19th anniversary at the Rhythm of the Sea.

My wife and I spent a few days at Rhythm of the Sea for our honeymoon. Both of us work and have hectic lives. All I can say is it was a refreshing and relaxing time. Its more than just a B&B, you feel at home. You access to free beach chairs, towels, bikes and out side showers as well as parking. Morning coffee on the deck watching the waves is how we spent our time. There are plenty of things to do and sites to be seen. Our final night was dinner at Oyster Bay and a peaceful and relaxing ride home. You will enjoy your say at Rhythm of the Sea, we had room 7. Kevin and Karla JC, NJ

It was a very charming turn of the century room decor. This was very refreshing. The breakfasts were quality food and just the right amount. Now at home, we learned to make a cranberry, apple juice drink that was served at breakfast time. The staff was very courteous and pleasant to chat with. I plan to return in two years.

My mother booked a suite at Rhythm of the Sea for the three of us to celebrate her 67th birthday this summer and it was so lovely. The entire weekend felt like we'd unplugged our crazy lives and gone back in time 100 years to the house's original era -- to quiet afternoons spent on the breezy porch, gazing out across the road at the ocean, reading in the lazy evenings with a glass of wine at our side, strolling down the street to look at the huge beautiful homes along the beachfront. It was just what the doctor ordered - so restful and restorative. The house is beautiful, arts-and-crafts design, large and airy, with gorgeous furnishings appropriate to the period and style. Every detail is attended to, from homemade cookies and iced tea served in the parlor to lovely soaps provided in the bathrooms. The staff are very good at anticipating your needs without interrupting the peace and quiet. There is a refrigerator for guest needs, with soda and water available for purchase. Wine glasses, games, and a billiards table are at your disposal. They even provide bikes and beach towels. The bed in our room was divine and I haven't slept so well in years. I don't know what it was, but that room was magical. Breakfast is very good, if only served at strict times - in fact one hour to be exact. If you are an early riser, you will be well rewarded. If not, there is a wonderful restaurant down the road where you can find brunch. If you are looking for a quiet seaside getaway, this is your place. Beautiful, romantic, relaxing, restorative, it's a real gem.

All I have to say is WOW!!! I originally was going to the bahamas for my anniversary weekend but my wife found this cozy escape called cape may and I thought we were just settling for less. Was I wrong, this by far has been the most relaxing vacation I have had... and I have been around. Rythm of the sea great stay!! Awesome staff felt like we were being catered by a 5 star hotel in NYC... Great breakfast.. very creative and soooo good. ;) Cant wait to go back..

Our hosts were helpful and knowledgable regarding Cape May's sights,restaurants and activities. Breakfasts were excellent. Rooms very clean and the home is well decorated, bright and open. Ample parking. They have on hand menus from almost every restaurant to help you with dining choices.you don't have to worry about your stay here so enjoy the beach, the people (very friendly), and beautiful Cape May. A very relaxing and interesting community!

My husband and I have been going to Rhythm of the Sea for 8 years. I never feel that our stays are long enough and I always want to stay longer. We have traveled all over the Caribbean and to Hawaii and stay in B+B's where ever we go. Rhythm of the Sea is the one place that I can fully relax. We arrived that August 25 and within an hour we were told that there was a mandatory evacuation the next day due to Hurricane Irene. We had taken mass transit from NYC, since we don't own a car. It was frightening position to be in. Robyn, Wolfgang and Julie did their best to calm our nerves. A very early breakfast feast was prepared for us on August 26 and Robyn drove us to the bus stop so we can head back to NYC before the impending storm. Once the storm passed, we made it back down to Cape May (this time with a Zip Car) to finish out our vacation. When it was time to leave, I wished we were able to stay longer.

Just returned from 5 days in our favorite resort town, and it was our first visit to Rhythm of the Sea. Everything was top notch from the breakfasts, baked goods put out in the afternoon, cleaniness, the extreme friendliness of Jullie and Ingrid. They even provide beach towels and bikes to ride. The room was nice, with a side window sea view, and the bath products were wonderful.The other guests were very friendly too. Nothing beats being able to walk across the street to the beach for the day, and sitting on the porch swing watching a full moon on the ocean at night. Can't wait to come back ! Thanks for a wonderful vacation !

My fiancee and I recently stayed for two nights at ROTS for a short getaway before the start of the school year. We were looking for something relaxing, romantic and close to the beach. ROTS was the perfect choice! Our room was cozy, with a great view of the beach and it is such a quiet, peaceful environment. The food was amazing as well! Julie was very accommodating and helped us pick out restaurants for dinner each night. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to return sometime soon!

Room was great, very comfortable bed. All the breakfasts were outstanding. Service was also outstanding. Will come back again.

Spacious rooms, situated across the street from the least crowded section of the beach, this is a terrific B&B.

First there was a very warm and friendly greeting on arrival. We had a lovely room with a great view of the sea. The food and service was outstanding. We will definately be back and would recommend it to our friends.

We needed an escape from the kids and regular life. Rhythm of the Sea was AMAZING. Ingrid was very available to help give advice, assistance and pleasant conversation. The breakfasts were delicious, and the proximity to the beach couldn't be better. You have to book this early and I understand why. It was a fantastic vacation and getaway. Highly recommended.

Rhythm of the Sea is a wonderful B&B inn that is in a quieter part of Beach Ave and that equals - Peace and relaxation. You can't get any closer to the beach than here and the inn makes it very easy for you to access whatever you need for a day by the ocean. Julie, the inn's manager, is extremely friendly, helpful to guide you with what to do and see as well as dining tips, just a pleasure to talk to. She has alot to do especially the summers with a full house - and makes it look easy. I wish I would have been able to meet Wolfgang and Robyn as well- hopefully the next time. We are looking forward to coming back! Karen, Rob, Marisa

This was our 4th stay at Rhythm of the Sea and we will be back again next year. God willing! Restful, peaceful & just wonderful

This was our 5th time at Rhythm of the Sea and we'll be going back again. Julie is a great host, making sure everyone is having exactly the experience they came for. The food is amazing, both the full breakfasts and the afternoon snacks. The rooms are lovely; the entire house is welcoming. After a day at the beach or just sightseeing, we always look forward to relaxing on the porch to either read or nap. The location is perfect: right across from the beach, walking distance to some great restaurants and close enough to enjoy many attractions, but far enough away to feel some solitude. You can do everything or nothing and have the best vacation ever. It's one of the most relaxing places we've ever been. --Jim and Diane Pavia

We would definitely return to Rhythm of the Sea. Thanks for making our family vacation so wonderful!!! We can't wait to come back next year!!

We loved our stay at Rhythm of the Sea. Six nights can be a long time if you're not happy, but our stay was seamless. Rhythm of the Sea is a perfect name for a great place to stay in Cape May.

Very beautiful B&B and worth the money for what we where looking for. Just seemed as though they skimped on some little things, e.g. the coffee was barely drinkable and didn't supply beach badges.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We are always thrilled when guests choose Rhythm of the Sea out of the many varied places to stay in Cape May. We are sorry that you did not care for our coffee. In this 'Charbucks' craze, coffee is such a personalized taste and as varied as the lodging and eating establishments in Cape May. We brew fresh ground 100% Columbian with an extra measurement than most restaurants would. We find it to be a smooth breakfast blend. It normally get rave reviews. With regards the beach tags, it is illegal for us to transfer seasonal tags and we cannot risk the implications if we do.

- Robyn (innkeeper/owner)

We've stayed at Rhythm once or twice a year since we honeymooned there in 2002, and it never fails to be a wonderful stay. The rooms are lovely and warm, and Jule and Robyn are wonderful hosts.

We picked this B&B due to the great location right across from the beach. The delightful Kiwi owner supplies beach chairs, beach towels and bikes free. Breakfast is fresh-cooked each morning 8:30-9:30 (different fixed item each morning). Robyn had great ideas for shopping. The Pier House restaurant nearby is great for dinner.

My daughter and I returned to Rhythm of the Sea for our third visit, and once again, we were made to feel completely at home. Robyn and her staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive to our every need. This year we stayed in the balcony room, which affords a beautiful view of the beach, and a lovely little balcony from which to enjoy it. The inn is an easy walk to the shops of the main stretch, yet located at a more quiet end of Beach Ave. which we prefer. We do not intend to ever stay anywhere else but Rhythm of the Sea while in Cape May.

The location is very convenient for the beach and sightseeing. Food was fantastic and rooms were private. Everything we needed for a relaxing and fun honeymoon.

Quiet location on the beach, Clean rooms, wonderful Innkeepers, delicious breakfast.

This was our third trip to Rhythm of the Sea...it gets better each time. The location is fabulous (right on Beach Ave.), the inn is warm and inviting, the rooms are extremely comfortable, and the breakfasts are divine. Traveling is always a challenge for me since I suffer from celiac's disease which means that I absolutely MUST adhere to a gluten-free diet. Months before our visit to ROTS (all three trips), I contacted Robyn and Julie by e-mail and was assured that there would not be a problem with my required diet. Nonetheless, I contacted them once again shortly before arrival and Julie promptly e-mailed me back and assured me that all would be well...and she wasn't kidding. Every visit has included lovely egg dishes with gluten free toast, fabulous gluten free pancakes (with real maple syrup), and an absolutely divine gluten free Belgian waffle! As if being at the beach isn't close to heaven enough...that waffle was the cherry on top of a wonderful vacation at a fabulous inn! If you are looking for a comfortable inn with easy access to the beach...and innkeepers that are dedicated to making your stay memorable... and a bit away from the hustle and bustle...I would highly recommend Rhythm of the Sea.

My wife and I stayed at "Rythym of the Sea" the past 3 nights and it was fantastic! Julie was a very warm and gracious host to the guests. She has a terrific sense of humor and gift of conversation that makes you feel at home. We met Robyn today and she ,too, was a terrific host to everyone and als had a great sense of humor. When people go on vacation, they want to forget about the real world for a few days. Our stay at Rythym of the Sea made us forget about the real world for a few days and that's what we were looking for! Thank you Robyn and Julie for a really good get away for my wide and I. You have a beautiful and classy Inn and others need to experience it soon! :) Bob and Barb Barone/Pittsburgh,Pa. 6/25/2011

Only disappointed in the breakfast entrees. Found them to be ordinary, not extraordingary! Afternoon tea and 'crumpets' were great, refrigerated water and drinks were wonderful.

My husband and I stayed at the Rhythm of the Sea recently for a short honeymoon getaway. I must say that the place was absolutely beautiful. It was a very quiet and peaceful stay and that was just what we were looking for. We loved that they had bikes, beach towels and chairs available for use at no extra charge. We definately plan on a returning to Cape May and Rhythm of the Sea. I would really like to stay here during the winter, I think it would be a very cozy and quiet winter getaway. Oh, and you can't forget the breakfast, it was amazing!

This was our first stay at Rhythm of the Sea and it was very memorable to say the least. Everything was perfect. Our room had a spectacular view of the ocean. The room had all the comforts of home down to the bed and soft pillows. The gourmet breakfasts were out of this world. The service was exceptional. This place is highly recommended and we will be returning at some point in the future.

Rhythm of the Sea is a beautiful b&b right on the shore in Cape May. I was excited as a school girl that I could see the ocean right from my bed! My complaint about our room is that the ceiling fan wobbled & sqeaked, so we couldn't run it when we were trying to sleep. We saw some of the other unoccupied rooms that were open during the day & their fans were installed securely. I've stayed in some b&b's that serve FANTASTIC breakfasts, and ROTS isn't in that category. Food was okay--first day was egg in a hole, which I make at home fairly often. I had indicated that I'm trying to follow a gluten-free diet, and Julie didn't seem to understand that this means no flour, which is made from wheat. To her credit, she did have some gluten-free bread on hand and made me some scrambled eggs on crepes day, for which I was very appreciative. Also, the coffee was mediocre. Sorry for the harsh criticism, but I've come to expect excellent coffee from b&b's, and this wasn't. One night the power went out for three hours and we were in complete darkness except for the emergency lights, which eventually went off. I called Julie, who seemed annoyed that I was bothering her, and she neglected to let me know that every room is supposed to have a flashlight in it (although our room, #7, did not have one; thankfully my husband had a flashlight in his luggage), which she told another customer who called. I was surprised that the b&b doesn't have a drawerful of battery operated lights somewhere for times like this. I did have a lovely time in Cape May. It was great being able to walk across the street to the beach. However, if I come back, I'll probably shop around more for a place to stay. I'm not saying I wouldn't stay at ROTS again, but I'd probably opt for a different room (didn't realize how much street noise we'd get).

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Wow! Thanks for all the comments. 1. Ceiling fan is replaced. It took an hour and was a great upper body workout. 2. Oh, do you make your own brioche too when you make your egg in hole and do you also drizzle white truffle oil and use Havarti cheese? It's the best isn't it! 3. Of course we understand Gluten Free. We take it very seriously and know not to cross contaminate and have many gluten free products. There was gluten in the cookies we made for afternoon refreshments. Gluten 'avoidance' means you can pick and choose? 4. Our coffee is 100% Columbian and a smooth breakfast style and we grind an extra ounce each pot. If your taste is 'Starbucks' blend then you might find it light. 5. When Julie was awoken from a deep sleep please don't misinterpret her grogginess for annoyance. She was not actually told there was a power outage until a frequent guest called her too and she told him about the flashlights in each room and asked him to find you to tell you. You had asked for candles, which we frown upon, and she thought you were enjoying a romantic interlude on the side porch. She was not given concise information to know what you were referring to when you said the porch lights were out. I would like to stress communication. We appreciate knowing any issues that occur during the stay so that we have the opportunity to rectify them while you are here, not to hear on a review site after the fact. The Inn is located on a street, but not a main one. Cape May is on an Island, but not a deserted one. Rhythm of the Sea may not always be a perfect fit for everyone. Try as we may to perfect the art of Innkeeping, we sometimes fall short. We welcome comments and always learn from them.

- Robyn (innkeeper/owner)

The inn was nice - airy and open. The innkeeper (Julie) was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious all three days we stayed! We had a beautiful view of the beach and ocean from our room. Unfortunately, we did not hear the "Rhythm of the Sea" b/c we could not keep the windows open at night due to the noise from the street below (cars driving by, people talking as they walked). It seemed like an echo chamber! But overall, a nice place.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
That darn road! I wish people could be a little more considerate. Luckily the speed limit is 25 mph and more lucky is that there is only one restaurant to have their patrons walk past us. Imagine how they feel in town!?

- Robyn (innkeeper/owner)

The B&B is across the street from the ocean. How lucky can you get??? The room was very clean and comfortable. The food was devine! Julie is an excellant hostess. It is conveniently located far enough away from the hustle of the crowd yet close enough for you to join in the fun. I recommend this Bed and Breakfast to everyone!

We loved the relaxing atmosphere of the Rhythm of the Sea. The food was wonderful, the service was fabulous with great attention to personal care. The porches were a welcoming place to just sit and relax while watching the wlakers and the ocean.

This was our second time at Rhythm of the Sea. At this point, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. The service has been amazing, they provide a phenominal breakfast and afternoon snack (so filling we tending to just eat dinner) and they had bikes for our use that allowed us to rarely use the car! Great location as well! Can't wait to come back!

The best bed and breakfast we have stayed in. The decor is simple but classic. The room was beautiful and spotless. The food was delicious. Cape May is wonderful place to spend a relaxing, romantic weekend. The locatation of the Rythem of the Sea is perfect if you want to be close to the ocean.

Hospitality was wonderful, food was great, quiet location, and very clean! It was nice they had bikes on the property that we could use as we wanted. A little pricy, but as to be expected with a B&B, especially this one since it was so nice.

Julie was absolutely fantastic at making sure we had anything we could want. All the food was superbly prepared, right down to the coffee and cookies. The bed and pillows were ok, not great, but this is our first b&b experience and our frame of reference is our memory foam mattress and pillows back home. The decor, the mugs, the toiletries, the robes - everything was first class. We can't wait to go back.

Rhythm of the Sea was a great weekend get away. We had the room overlooking the ocean with a private balcony. The room and bath were small, but very comfortable. If street traffic bothers you, you will hear it. Robyn was a great host and the breakfast was fantastic. Will definitely repeat.

Our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. The only issue I had was there was a musty order in the building. Julie was wonderful, informative and extremely helpful. Staff was attentive.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
So glad you had a relaxing time. Our house does have a very distint smell. I noticed it the very first time I walked into the building. It is due to all the wood, so rest assured there is no must here...except, you MUST return!!!

- Robyn Wendt (innkeeper/owner)

Rythym of the Sea is in the best setting for someone who wants to be right by the ocean. There is nothing to block the view between this beautiful B&B and the ocean. And access to the beach is just steps away. We found this to be a very pleasant atmosphere and the owners & staff were very helpful and accomodating. I love the decor and found everything extremely well cared for. Great sleeping with the windows open to hear the sounds of the ocean and the bed was super comfortable. We stayed on a non-weekend in May (off-season). I look forward to staying here again.

After losing our favorite Cape May B & B to a condo conversion (Columns by the Sea), we tried Rhythm. We were not disappointed and found our room to be a cut above those we had stayed in at Columns. The breakfasts are served to you over a one-hour period giving some flexibility. They are also served at tables of four which I found to be a nice change from the large single table of many other establishments. I would suggest room #1 with the private balcony as it provides exceptional views of the beach, ocean and main street.

The Rhythm is our place to escape the hustle and bustle of life. We have been coming to this B+B since 1999, and continue to come back every year. The location, breakfast and comfort brings us back year after year. There is no better place to relax than the Rhythm's. Also the spring flowers were amazing this year at the inn and throughout Cape May.

The Rhythm of the Sea is a wonderful place to stay when you are in Cape May. Julie was so welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts were super delicious. It was very quiet as I was the only guest on one of my nights there but I felt secure and comfortable. The ocean views were great and my room with a fireplace was warm and cozy. Would definitely stay there again if I have the chance.

Great time away! Will be back - soon. Wonderful food and overall experience. Only negative - I couldn't stay longer!

A fabulous place for a quiet getaway. We had an oceanfront room, with a fabulouse view. In comparison to some other places it was a bit pricey for off season, however you are treated like royalty, the home is spotless and the breakfasts wonderful. We highly recommend Rhythm of the Sea

From the very first phone call to Robyn, I was beyond impressed. She was pleasant and accomodating. We spent our anniversary weekend with them and felt like we were old friends when we left. Julie, the manager, was also so sweet and very helpful upon arrival. Our room was so spacious and absolutely beautiful. We loved the pooltable and fireplace as well as the chats we had with Robyn, Wolfgang and the 2 mascots Odie and Lulu. We can't say enough about their warm hospitality, divine breakfasts and gorgeous inn. We are already trying to plan our summer escape to Rhythm of the Sea.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
The best part about being an Innkeeper is the wonderful people you meet. We never know who is going to walk across our threshold but we always seem to click on so many different levels. It's the ultimate when we can sit one on one for fun conversation. The pooches are not here too often unfortunately. But they do add another dimention with their antics - oh, and Wolfgang's!!!

- Robyn (innkeeper/owner)

Only stay 2 nights - great location, friendly staff, and nice overall atmosphere.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
No! Stay longer...

- Robyn (innkeeper/owner)

My boyfriend and I visited Rhythm of the Sea for a weekend getaway and absolutely fell in love with the place! Julie was our innkeeper and she is truly spectacular! The inn is glorious, the breakfast to die for...I highly recommend Rhythm of the Sea as the go-to B&B in Cape May.

My wife and I spent two wonderful evenings just after the blizzard of 2010. We experienced incredible hospitality and accomodations, including filling and scrumptious breakfasts. We highly recommend this getaway for those who are seeking a great place of respite with great things to do at a relaxed pace.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Wasn't that storm a doosie! We were saying we lived in the snowy tundra. We love our Winter guests especially those who don't let a 'little' blizzard get in their way. No matter what the weather throws at us outside, it is always sunny and toastie inside the Rhythm of the Sea!!

- Robyn Wendt (innkeeper/Owner)

Our stay at Rhythm of the Sea for y husband's birthday was completely wonderful and we would return again in a heartbeat. We had high expectations in every respect and they were all met. The overall atmosphere in particular - the comfort of the common areas, beautiful views and sounds of the ocean, and restfulness of our room - were truly outstanding. Plus, we truly enjoyed chatting with our warm, welcoming hosts and their adorable long-haired dachsunds.

My husband and I were married at the Rhythm of the Sea in the "off season" of 2008. We rented out the Inn for our family and wedding party for the whole of our wedding weekend. The pricing was beyond reasonable for all that was included with our wedding package. Robyn and Wolfgang made us and all of our guests feel completely at home. In fact, we even had guests ask if the Inn was my family's beach house! The service throughout the weekend and cocktail reception was outstanding. People still rave about our tastful small wedding and Wolfgang's delicious fare. Robyn was brilliant when it came to working with all of our special requests as well. We hope to be able to spend an anniversary at the Rhythm of the Sea in the near future.

The food surpassed our expectations. The pictures on the website don't do the rooms justice because they were beyond amazing. The hostess was very helpful and I can't recommend The Rythmn of the Sea enough.

Had a great, relaxing stay. Beautiful B&B--I've been staying in B&Bs in Cape May for the last twenty years and this is hands-down my favorite. Friendly staff, beautiful rooms with stunning views of the ocean.

I was expecting a lot more. Rhythm of the Sea was just average. It wasn't bad but should be so much better for the money they charge.

Wolfgang, Robyn & Julie are exceptional hosts. Their warm and friendly personality is an absolute compliment to a great bed & breakfast that eptiomizes comfort, cleaniness and a genuine "I'm home" type of atmosphere. Wolfgang's late afternoon home made & baked "snacks" served by the fireplace with fresh hot coffee and tea only serves to reinforce what a great place this is. This will make our 9th year in a row that we have stayed with Robyn & Wolfie.......they are like family now. We love this place and look forward to our stay each and every time. I highly recommend this one of a kind bed & breakfast.

Wow! We are so appreciative of such a lovely review! The fact that it is from a guest that we have hosted for nine times just thrills us. We have over 100 years combined in the hospitality industry and we know that our returning guests are the lifeblood of what we do. We also are aware that you have many choices for your stay in Cape May and we are always honored when we are chosen time and time again! We genuinely strive to make each guest's stay as memorable as you described. We thank you for sharing your kind sentiments with us and potential new guests. Robyn, Wolfgang and Julie

A very friendly, comfortable B&B! We enjoyed the "make yourself at home" atmosphere. You really do feel welcome to hang out in the gathering rooms and the afternoon teas are yummy! The breakfasts are outstanding!

This is our 3rd year staying at the Rhythm of the Sea. We absolutely love staying in the carriage house. It provides ample space for our 1 1/2 year old son to play around in. The layout of the room also allows us to put our son down for the night in the bedroom while we hang out in the front room and watch movies without disturbing him. Breakfast is delivered to us at 9am (by our request) and we are literally a hop, skip, and jump away from the beach! The Innkeepers, Robyn and Wolfgang Wendt & Julie McElroy are WONDERFUL and VERY helpful with getting you acquanted with the area.

We enjoyed staying at this B & B for numerous reasons: the Arts and Craft decor is beautifully appointed; the breakfasts were sumptous and delicious; and the proximity of our room to the view of the ocean was perfect and the proprietors exceeded all of our expectations for superlative service. We will return !

I thought the breakfast would have had a buffet component along with a specialty item choice such as how you want your eggs cooked. Also, free WiFi would have been a good feature.

We appreciate your comments. Each Bed and Breakfast offers their own twist on breakfast and we are lucky to have a professional chef in our kitchen who prepares guests breakfast individually, prepared to their liking. Advance notice is nice for specific preferences and we are happy to accommodate. We feel a buffet item would detract from his expertise and besides, we like to serve you! We sure do have free WiFi too.

Although we found the accomodations to be a bit pricey, I guess it was standard for Cape May B&B. The room was small, but the living space of the B&B more than made up for it with wonderful views of the ocean. The breakfast was elegantly prepared and filling. Being across the street form a walk on the beach was the highlight of our stay.

My new bride and I went to Rhythm of the Sea for a quick getaway after our wedding and couldn't have been happier with our experience. Robyn was a wonderful host and Wolfgang's breakfast was scrumptious. Robyn and Julie were both very helpful when it came to restaurant/activity suggestions. I would definitely recommend Rhythm of the Sea to anyone looking for a relaxing time in Cape May.

Perfect weather. Perfect location oceanfront. The innkeeper accommodated our vegetarian diet by making us oatmeal while the other guests had crab meat omelettes and crab meat breakfast burritos. The decor was a welcome departure from the flowery Victorian decor of the rest of Cape May. Overall, a very nice place to stay.

A very nice walk to Jackson St. on a beautiful sunny Fall day.

If you're visiting Cape May, be sure to stay at Rhythm of the Sea. The rooms are beautiful, most with sea views, and the food outstanding. Robin and Wolfgang and of course, Julie, gave me a beautiful space to de-stress from life and I met some wonderful people staying at the Inn. I sat on their spacious front porch or by my bedroom window, just letting the "rhythm" of the sea lull me into peace.

Very nice B & B in a perfect location. You can sit on the porch and watch the Ocean in very peaceful surroundings. The owners are awesome and the good was incredible. Can't wait to go back!

2 night stay in September. Great location - right across from the beach. Great breakfast. Quiet at this end of Cape May; short walk into town. Never had to use the car. On site parking. Bikes available but needed some work. We would definitely return.

Wonderful 2 days at the Inn. The location across from the beach is fantastic... great oceans views from bed! We stayed in room #1 with the balcony and enjoyed every minute. Cape May is a super town to bike around and explore. We will be back!

Nice rooms, very clean, nice breakfasts. However, the afternoon tea/cookies, etc we never had. Came off beach at the required time but no snacks, no staff around. That was our only disappointment I would suggest taking your own beach chairs and beach towels.

Our July 2009 stay at Rhythm of the Sea was our first but certainly not our last. This B&B is the perfect spot in Cape May to get away from it all but still be within a short stroll or bike ride to the heart of town. Our stay was during the peak summer season and the area surrounding the inn never seemed crowded. The beach is great and the inn itself was casually luxurious. Robyn and Wolfgang's service and attention to detail were unsurpassed. They are genuinely nice people who go out of their way to please their guests. My wife and I stayed in room #4 with a nice side ocean view. The bed was very comfortable and the Stickley furnishings were of the highest quality. I am absolutely shocked that another reviewer rated every single category as unsatisfactory. Some people are just impossible to please, it really broke my heart to read that review because it's so obvious that the owners put so much effort into ensuring that everyone enjoys their stay. Please ignore that totally unfair review and look at the trend among the dozens of reviews before it, nearly everyone loves this place and for good reason. We live in upstate New York and would gladly make the 5-hour drive again and again to this place. If you're looking for an unpretentious, relaxing, comfortable getway in beautiful surroundings, look no further than this B&B. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and the staff took the time to connect with each guest personally, you really feel valued here. My wife has a serious food allergy and, though it was unexpected, they went totally above and beyond to accommodate her to make sure she had a nice breakfast each day. They even shopped for special ingredients for her. How many places would have done that? Not many! Just about every other guest we spoke with had stayed there half a dozen times, and that says something about the consistent quality of this inn. We're already looking forward to our next stay in the summer of 2010.

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.

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

Absolutely the most relaxing weekend. Wonderful hosts, great breakfasts, fantastic room with a perfect view of the ocean. Will definitely return to this wonderful B&B!

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!

This was our first bed and breakfast stay! Rhythm was great - very open, neat and welcoming! The breakfasts were great! Modern upgrades (flat screen TVs and air conditioning in rooms, wireless internet) were welcome to our weekend away! We didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back!

the host and hostess, have a superb b&b with a different breakfast each day. their staff are very professional and very friendly. book well in advance as they have very few short notice vacancies

We just love returning year after year! It's like going to a second home and visiting our second family. Rhythm of the Sea is the best place in Cape May to unwind and enjoy some laughter. No one can beat their breakfasts!

We were here for the Jazz Festival, and our accomodations were perfect! Gracious hosts, and wonderful breakfasts. We will return.

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!

The room was wonderful, the hosts were wonderful, and the atmosphere was wonderful. I spent a weekend at the bed and breakfast and it was nothing shy of perfect. The hosts were kind and pleasant. It was simply the best atmosphere for a weekend away from it all. You won’t be disappointed with this establishment.

We have been coming to the Rhythm for 9 years and would not think of staying anywhere else in Cape May but here. It is our favorite Home Away from Home.

Perfect weather for mid-April. Our second visit, there will be many more!

My partner and I had a wonderful weekend getaway at Rhythm of the Sea. Our room was beautiful, our hosts were congenial and helpful, and breakfast both mornings was excellent. This is the first place I have ever stayed which was even better in person than in the brochure!

We have stayed at Rhythm of the Sea for approximately 6 times over the past years and each time we are very pleased and never disappointed. Wolf and Robyn are excellent hosts and run a superb B & B. Breakfast is outstanding!!

We chose the Rhythm of the Sea several years ago as our "first" B&B on my birthday. We love it!! Robyn and Wolfgang are so warm and welcoming. Julie and Odie are an excellent addition to the Inn. Thanks again for wonderful memories. Hope to visit again soon.

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!

A wonderful view of the ocean, great hospitality, and excellent service. A very relaxing and warm environment. We had a great time!

The innkeepers were very personable and made sure every need was met, the breakfasts were incredible, and the inn was very quiet and peacful.

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.

Rhythm of the Sea is our favorite Bed and Breakfast. Everything is peaceful and lovely.

The house is beautiful, the view of the ocean is breath-taking, the rooms are gorgeously detailed and homey, and the food and hospitality are exquisite!

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.

We Loved It !

The innkeepers are the epitome of graciousness. The food was wonderful, the beds were uber comfy. Want to go back every month. Restorative for my husband and me.

We stay with Robyn, Wolfe and Julie several times a year because we just can't get enough of Rhythm of the Sea. Always warm, friendly, luxuriously comfortable, and the Wolf's breakfasts are fabulous. Can not say enough wonderful things about Rhythm of the Sea.
