Bedford Inn
Bed and Breakfast

A very short walk from the beach, Bedford Inn Bed and Breakfast, is a "Mother Daughter" twin home. Built in 1883 as a seaside vacation home in Cape May, the Inn has since been catering to family, friends, and vacationers to the New Jersey shore ever since. This sense of history makes Bedford Inn a warm alternative to a hotel.

Relax and enjoy the quiet of an authentic Victorian guest room or perhaps a "honeymoon" suite for a special getaway. All seven rooms and three suites have private baths, each with a shower and some with an old-fashioned clawfoot tub. Each lodging accommodation is decorated with period antiques but has touches of the new century with air conditioning (in summer) and color television. Many of the rooms provide queen-size beds, while two suites each offer a king-size bed.

Start your day off with a sumptuous breakfast shared with other guests in the dining room, or take a tray to one of the porches to enjoy the fresh air. Enjoy the cozy fireplace in the Victorian parlor or choose a book from one of the bookcases and grab a rocking chair to laze away an hour or two on one of the large, airy verandahs. Come down to tea in the late afternoon, and if you feel sociable, visit with other guests, sharing your impressions of Cape May.

Of course, you will want to head for the beach and its pleasures. Your rates include beach chairs and beach towels, and you even have access to hot-water outdoor showers and a powder room after check-out if you want to grab some last-minute beach time. Join a guided tour of the beautiful Historic District or poke around town yourself, admiring Cape May's famed Victorian architecture with its exuberant gingerbread trim, brows through the many unique shops, or indulging in a coffee break on the "Victorian Mall" as you leisurely watch the world go by. Golf, tennis, whale watching, and fishing are nearby as well.

Come for a visit to the Bedford Inn -- take a well-earned break from your busy life at home to relax and enjoy the quiet warmth of a home created over many years. Take back special memories of the old-fashioned charm of this village by the sea.
