Boarding House Cape May

An 1800s boarding house on Lafayette Street, Boarding House Cape May preserves hardwood floors and a wraparound porch character while fitting modern air conditioning and private bathrooms into each room. Upper floors are stairs-only, a detail worth noting for guests with mobility needs despite the property's wider accessibility features.

The activity list runs deeper than most Cape May inns: yoga classes, aerobics, bike tours, walking tours, and cultural workshops are all offered on-site or arranged through the concierge. Bicycles are available for the flat, car-free streets that connect the property to the Victorian historic district and the Atlantic beach, roughly six blocks south.

Happy hour and a small convenience store operate on the premises. The 9.6 guest rating across 149 reviews is among the highest on the Cape May strip.
