  • Inn Details

    The only thing we overlook, is the ocean. Our Craftsman-style Inn, circa 1915, includes many of the design features commonly associated with Craftsman homes: Bright, spacious rooms, open plan dining and living areas and an inglenook with a fireplace. Window benches to view the beach and beautiful natural wood floors. In keeping with the Arts and Crafts aesthetic we have decorated with furniture from the Stickley Company that is complemented by Mission-style lanterns and art pottery. Genuine hospitality and good food are served up daily. So, plan a trip soon. We can't wait to see you!

    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.

    Perfect.

    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
