The Abbey is a wonderful, Victorian Gothic mansion. All of the rooms aare filled with period furniture and decor. You can spend hours looking at the items in the sitting areas on the first floor. Incredible. I have stayed there twice, and intend... read more

The Abbey is a functioning museum of a house that vactioners to Cape May can be lucky enough to call their own residence for a few short days. Everything at The Abbey is authentically Victorian (with the exception of window air conditioners in... read more

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Abbey. Jay and the staff are very accommodating and are a wealth of knowledge about the area and history. There are dozens of antiques in both the rooms and common areas. Breakfasts were wonderful and... read more

Have stayed at several different B&Bs in Cape May in the past. This one was not nearly as nice. The exterior and grounds were not maintained! Chipped and peeling paint, damaged and worn porch furniture, excess clutter, no flowers on the... read more

Hi, I stayed at the Abbey this past May and it is a very gothic Victorian bed and breakfast, you really feel like you are back in time. It is very close to the beach and the mall which is convenient, as is the on-site parking. Also, the breakfast... read more

What a great time. The true spirit of a B&B. Yes the building is old and lacks the amenities of a modern day luxury hotel but everything is in working order and the inn is very clean. The innkeeper is great. He makes it a point to interact... read more

We stayed at the Abbey for the winter Christmas lights. I have to admit it was very well located. But we only saw the proprietors once and that was to let us in. I did not feel very welcome even though it was a during one of Cape Mays holiday... read more

The Abbey was the best B&B we have stayed at in a long time. Jay was very friendly and a delight to sit and just have a conversation with. Jay sat at the breakfast table and talked with all the guests, including all in the conversation. Food... read more

Besides the nice rooms and 140 yrs history of Abbey House, the breakfast time is certainly the hightlights of the day listening to the stories of the guests who are mostly Jay's long time friends from all over the country.

Location, location, location. We, the girls, camped on the delightful porch and watched frequent horse drawn carriages and a parade of interesting people passing by. One block to shopping, one block to the ocean and on the corner of a delightful... read more

This was not our first visit to Cape May but it was our first to The Abbey. It was also the best time we've had in a while! The owner, Jay Schatz, made us feel very welcome and the Inn is full of history and wonderful antiques! Jay's hat collection... read more

My girlfriend(Debi) and I(David)wanted a getaway weekend for some rest and relaxation.The Abbey was more than adequate to provide all of that.The very clean and comfortable room and the great breakfasts and tea time was so enjoyable with the... read more

I've read the former reviews. The Abbey is Victorian, fellow travelers. Efforts have been made to keep the furniture, furnishings, accommodations as authentic as possible. For us, it is a privilege to stay there -- the opportunity to stay in a... read more

Innkeeper Jay Schatz met us on arrival and had us laughing from that moment on. He is quite an entertainer, especially with his hat and prop collection. Jay is also a very serious historian and ecologist. Don't miss his entertaining and historic... read more

My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon at The Abbey and we had a wonderful time. The Inn has on site parking and is just one block to the beach...this was a joy as so many places don't provide parking. Breakfast and tea were warm and... read more

We just returned from 2 nights at The Abbey. The grounds and porch were not kept. The furniture on the porch was broken and cushions dirty. After a certain time the common areas (living room, sitting room, dining room ) were locked and not... read more
