The Mainstay Inn is tremendous. The building itself is phenomenal and has one of the best porches you will ever see. The staff are excellent. They are courteous, professional and maintain the Inn in great shape. In short, you will have a great stay in every measure.
Excellent bed and breakfast. Fantastic room and outstanding daily breakfast. We stayed here in December for Christmas, another great time to stay at the inn in cape May. There afternoon tea is a great treat after a day at the beach
Stayed 4 days. Clean. Quiet. Great location. Great breakfast. Stayed in the Brett Harte room. This room has a private wrap around porch located on the second floor that overlooks the street. I thought I must have misunderstood the description when I read it. I didn't. The porch is fantastic. What a great place to relax with a bottle of wine. Very peaceful and relaxing. Will definitely stay here again.
We have stayed in several Bed and Breakfasts and they all have their splendid uniqueness but The Mainstay totally captured the elegance of the Victorian error for us. We enjoyed the porch more than I can explain. It feels like you are in another time period, surrounded by hydrangeas and a fountain. The pillars on the porch are two stories high! The breakfast and afternoon tea were delicious, homemade and generous. The accommodations were stunning! This was not a home changed into a bed and breakfast but a gentleman's club evidently and originally built to accommodate many guests. We enjoyed our brief stay immensely and highly recommend The Mainstay!
Fantastic B&B. We will return. The room and accommodations are amazing. The inn is beautiful and very well maintained. Location is perfect in the heart of the area with all of the Victorian homes. Even breakfast exceeded expectations.
My friend and I stay at the Mainstay every year. The accommodations are stellar. The inn is beautiful and so well-kept. The landscaping is breathtaking and it is so peaceful. The breakfasts are always delicious. We have been there several times when the owners have been on the property and they could not be more accommodating or pleasant to deal with. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
My daughter and I just returned from a week at the Mainstay Inn and it was wonderful -- the porch is heavenly and though the days were warm it was wonderful sitting outside in a rocker early evening on the massive deck with a cool breeze watching the occasional horse-drawn carriage ride go by -- which was interesting as the "driver would always point out the Mainstay Inn to his riders -- breakfast on the porch was also lovely and filling -- shopping is only a block away as well as the beach -- we stayed in the Henry Clay room with peacock wallpaper and though bold was absolutely beautiful and also came with a lovely bathroom !
This was by far the best vacation we have ever had! The Mainstay Inn was such a wonderful experience for us. If we could give this place 10 stars we would! Right from the start we experienced nothing but the best. The women running this were kind, friendly, and did everything they could to make this stay what it was. They were all this way too! Not a single bad experience here. We parked our car when we came and had no need for it again until we left because the inn is walking distance to everything. The room was immaculate and the furnishings were beautiful! The morning breakfast was as if it were made in my own kitchen, and it was very organized. The afternoon 3:00 tea on the porch was something we looked forward to each day. The sycamore trees and gardens provided shade and beauty while sitting in the large swings and rocking chairs.I can't recommend this enough! The Mainstay Inn was the most charming and relaxing stay we have ever had!…
Wonderful, Stay in Cape May, quiet, beautiful B&B with exceptional service and staff. Great Breakfast, excellent coffee!! and just off the busy streets for a peaceful retreat. Super shaded porch and gardens.
