    Another wonderful stay at Rhythm of the Sea!

    May 01, 2013

    My daughter and I have had several great visits to Rhythm of the Sea, and this was the first time I visited with my husband. Coming to Rhythm is like coming home. Robyn and Wolfgang are gracious and welcoming, and our room was immaculate as usual. The beautiful, well-maintained property, the close proximity to the beach, and the quiet location that is still close to the center of town, are all reasons why we will continue to return to Rhythm of the Sea whenever possible.

    Went with my girlfriend for our anniversary, and had an excellent stay. The dining was great (they managed to accomodate her vegan diet) and everything about the room was perfect. Looking forward to another stay sometime soon!

    Perfect for Off-Season

    February 14, 2013

    I found myself with some time off in February and decided to spend it at Rhythm of the Sea. I had never been there in winter and came prepared with loads of reading. Well, I have never had a better time: lots of time reading by the fireplace (heavenly), candles for atmosphere on the coffee table, a bit of wine...My room--Sea Isle Oasis --was spacious and had all kinds of amenities, the most important being a "spa" type bathroom with a deep tub and unending hot water. I provided my own breakfast foods and Julie pretty much left me to my own devices. While Cape May was quiet (being off-season) I did take advantage of dining at two hard-to book-in-summer restaurants. And the audiotour of Cape May houses was superb! The streets were devoid of traffic and tourists so I could really move about leisurely. It's hard to believe that a couple of days can have such a rejuvenating effect! Taking the time for a break is one of the best things a person can do for themselves--especially in February!
