    Inside the modest exterior lies a gem of a restored inn with spacious airy rooms, exceptional period furnishings and some of Cape May's finest stained glass. Association of Historic Inns calls us "The loveliest and most authentically decorated of all the houses we visited." This gracious Edwardian seaside inn has a tradition of hospitality and comfort. Its unbeatable location, in the prime historic district, is 1/2 block to beaches and shopping areas and close to many restaurants and tour sites. Enjoying winter time coziness by the fire or summer sun and shade porches, you can recapture the romance and gentleness of a bygone era.

    Charming b&b

    Windward House in Cape May, NJ was outstanding! Sandy, the owner, was helpful and accommodating. The room was lovely.....clean and very comfortable. The best part was the scrumptious French toast breakfast and the delightful conversation with the other guests.

    PERFECT WEEKEND RETREAT

    April 29, 2013

    WE HAVE STAYED AT WINDWARD HOUSE SO MANY TIMES, WE'VE LOST COUNT BUT EACH AND EVERY WEEKEND HAS BEEN MEMORABLE. BESIDES THE PERFECT LOCATION, THE HOSPITALITY OF OWNER SANDY MILLER AND HER STAFF IS SECOND TO NONE. THE HOUSE IS WARM, INVITING AND FULL OF OLD WORLD CHARM. THE WINDWARD HOUSE IS THE KEY TO A PERFECT GETAWAY EVERY YEAR.

    We'll be back

    October 21, 2012

    Your rooms and facilities are wonderful. The Victorian history you present in everything we saw or touched told a story. Some of my " minds eye " wanderings brought even the smallest utensils to life as great color and beauty to sights of hardship - thoughts like " my God that must of been uncomfortable to " Even though the bed pan looks uncomfortable it sure is pretty. Now you know how much I needed a vacation. Thank you for making our get- away , a get-away. In the respect of room quality not being the best that it could be . The rooms were bright after lights were out due to illumination from the street and porch lamps. A black out curtain would solve that problem. The evenings were cool and we slept with the windows open. I would imagine that noise from the porch and street would prohibit those conditions during times of heavy traffic. Nancy was a God send. Great, great food all done up in a wonderful personality. Eileen was delightful and helpful with answering our questions concerning things to do and food to eat. Sandy, the owner , is a page out of Victorian days of yore. A very regal , compelling totally personable Grand Dame. You go girl! So, Thank to all of you,. As I said before " We'll be back ".
