From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the staff made us feel like family. The "mermaid room" was impressive in how cozy and comfortable it was in comparison to its size. A must stay if you are in the area and a must frequent place in Cape May!

Staying there we felt as if we were staying with family or friends for a few days. There was a feeling of warmth and hospitality from everyone there. We stayed in room "Three" then in room "Eight" and they were both gorgeous and so Victorian! The breakfast were delicious and the view while you ate,so relaxing. We are going again... More

Overall the rooms were nice and staff friendly, our only complaint was breakfast service. Our second day it took over and hour to get our breakfast and then my husbands was wrong, but we didn't want to spend our whole day at breakfast. Staff could use a little better training. Bar staff was nice. When we come back to Cape... More

My husband & I were just at Elaine's for Mother's day weekend. What a wonderful time we had. After a slight mix up in our reservation, Patrick, the owner, and his entire staff went out of their way to make sure our vacation was fun and memorable. Our room was lovely clean & comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and... More

I have never been to a bed and breakfast and my fiance didn't care for them. Well we stayed at Elaine's April 2013. From the moment Carol greeted us until she said good-bye, we had the perfect recharge of life weekend. The room and food were wonderful and we laughed the whole time during the dinner theater. Driving home my... More

I stayed at Elaine's B&B during one of their "Ghost Hunting" weekends in May 2012, and this was an AMAZING experience. My friends and I arrived at the Inn and were immediately shown to our rooms, which were beautiful. The rooms were clean and very cozy. We took a trip down to the bar for a drink...and the bar was...

It had been forever that my curiosity was motivated by this inn in Cape May. Even though not a beach property, it is special since it offers all year long dinner theater events. The bar is a good old wood bar like from the XIX century with an always friendly and competent bartender lady. The rooms are typical of an... More

I had the fluffy pancakes the first morning and the second morning I had the Banana forsters French toast. The room was we stayed in was decorated so nicely and the beds... More
