We don't know what else to say that hasn't already been said. We have come to Cape May several times to celebrate my wife's birthday and I was planning the trip again for this year. When our favorite B&B was booked, I looked for another one to visit. I decided to try the Saltwood House based on the great reviews,... More

Our first visit to the Saltwood House was an excellent experience. Jackson Street is a wonderful location, quiet and relaxing but an easy walk to shopping, restaurants and the beach. Don made us feel right at home. Breakfast was wonderful. On-site parking is also a great plus. We will definitely choose the Saltwood House again when in Cape May.

We spent three days at The Saltwood House, in Cape May, the week before Memorial Day to get our season started early and as always our stay was delightful ! While much of the town was still scrubbing and painting to get ready for the season, The Saltwood was up and running and ready to receive guests. This B&B repeats... More

We just returned from another awesome visit at Saltwood House. We stay here twice a year and would never consider another B&B. The location is great (close to the beach and in the center of Jackson Street, so great for people watching), on-site parking is a plus, breakfasts are great, the beds are extremely comfortable, and you will not find...

Great location, parking, good food, and great friends! You can't beat the location of the Saltwood House. It's only 1/2 block from the beach, which makes it really convenient if you want to go back and forth to the beach. Also,if you have ever visited Cape May, you will know that finding a parking spot is nearly impossible in the... More

This week, I was back in Cape May again – seems I just can’t stay away! I wanted to share the “magic” of the Saltwood with my friends, Ruth and Phil. They met Don, Erik, saw the Saltwood – I gave them a “personal tour” since it is like my “home away from home”, after all. They loved it and... More

Where to begin? The Saltwood House is so elegantly furnished and decorated. Don is a gracious and accommodating host. With one site parking, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Just a short distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Breakfast was delicious. Wish we had more time to enjoy the rockers on the porch, maybe next... More

The Saltwood House is THE "must stay" B&B in Cape May! Not only are Don and Erik wonderful hosts, the Saltwood House is located just a 1/2 block to the best beach in Cape May and provides plenty of On-Site parking! In a victorian beach town where street parking is at an absolute premium and parking tickets will cost you... More

First time staying in Cape May, we hoped for a lovely Victorian and certainly found one. Don was so welcoming and helpful. Bed was very comfortable and breakfast lovely. Location perfect. Walk to everything. Another guest told me they have stayed in many other places in Cape May and this is by far the best. Will definately return.
