HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!…read more My Sir (yes, I literally call him that because he is such a sexy Sicilian gentleman and always dresses to the 9's!) is taking me away here for my birthday. It's my first one with him in my life :) I was blown away when we walked up to the main house, toured inside of ours, had tea, a cozy night and breakfast. He breakfast was nithing shoet of amazing! The star was the Blueberry Stuffed French Toast casserole - like OMG insanely delicious!!! I kind of had three servings! Many other perfect choices too, like English muffins, fruit, yogurt, granola). Our room is done in dark reds and boasts cherrywood. Also, beautiful prints and furniture. We had a romantic evening with the jacuzzi, (gas) fireplace and cloud cozy King sized bed! Stellar service from all - Sam and Amanda in particular. They do A LOT here! We MAY leave the room today, lol. Walking Washington Street is a possibility. MAYBE the Zoo... I lived in Cape May many moons ago. A definite place to visit- you will always have somewhere to go and somewhere to eat! Splurge on the decadence of The Queen Victoria!!! You're worth it!!!

We came here for an Anniversary getaway. Doug & AnnaMarie went above & beyond to make each guest's…read morestay enjoyable. This was our first visit to this charming B&B and it was truly a positive & memorable experience. It's located within the heart of Cape May, so walking distance to a myriad of restaurants and shops and only one block from the beach. The amenities are unbeatable - beach cruiser bikes, beach chairs and towels, lots of outdoor porches to relax on and read, and an outdoor shower. The breakfasts are delicious (we had an egg/cheese entree with ham the first day & a stuffed French toast with sausage patty the 2nd day) The daily morning and afternoon baked goods were delicious (especially the assorted breads with homemade strawberry jam!) The owners (Doug & AnnaMarie) are extremely warm and welcoming and go above and beyond & to ensure every guest felt safe during the COVID pandemic (great social distancing, mask awareness, plastic shields as needed & hand sanitizer). A well stocked 24 hr kitchen with plentiful bottled water as well. Lots of extras that you don't find in other B&Bs. They also immediately alerted us when my wife left her pocketbook behind at breakfast. You can tell that the management truly cares about making this place a great experience for their guests without cutting any corners. It's truly a beautiful property with lots of outdoor space and charming rooms each unique & all very well-maintained, extremely clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. Nothing but wonderful things to say about the Queen Victoria & we hope to be back again soon!

For those looking for vintage Victorian charm, you will be pleased with this property. The location cannot be beat, the entire historic district is a very short walk. The beach is not much farther. We stayed in the Renaissance room, a very comfy and roomy king. These were definitely two of the best night's sleep we've had in recent times! The breakfast service here is really excellent with several menu choices. They will also accommodate a range of custom requests (obviously within reason). The staff was great throughout our stay and everything is well thought out. One caveat here is the no parking on premises, there are however parking options close by. We were able to get free on street parking a short walk away. Loading and unloading at the property is also easy. Highly recommend!!

My suggestion is to maybe offer finger sandwiches instead of all the sweets. The wine and cheese were store bought peperidge farm crackers , 2 slices of salami and 3 slices of 3 knids of cheese , 4 carrots , 2 slices of cucumber with a tiny cup of hummus and sweet gherkin pickles and a tiny cup of ranch. My suggestion is maybe switch the pickles out for olives and better selection of crackers or breads even. Need to retrain one of servers. Extremely hostile and accusatory. She asked my husband and I if we were staying there and told us rudely that we couldn't just sit anywhere we had to ask. We had been there since Monday with no issues. Hence that ruined the rest of our vacation. The establishment will probably not do anything to correct her and nothing will come of this, but I feel it had to addressed. Now the breakfast was okay. Portions are measured carefully and frankly after the incident with the server we felt afraid to ask for anything else. After speaking to an elderly couple who have been staying there for years. They told us how the previous owners use to run this B&B and how wonderful the food and service was. I think the new owners need to take a lesson from the previous owners on how to improve .

What a beautiful mansion with impeccable grounds & an inviting porch to lounge around on! When selecting your room, if the room is not on the first floor, note that the stairs are quite steep & can be a little difficult to navigate if you are carrying a lot of things or wearing high heels! We stayed in the famous Red Room on the second floor, room 3. It was a lovely room with very high ceiling & a very unusual painting. The bed was very comfortable & I liked that we could control the temperature in our room. The sink for the bathroom is outside the bathroom with hardly any countertop just so you know. Excellent breakfast - you do have to make your selection the night before which is a little difficult since sometimes I want something different when I wake up. food was very good & excellent service. I think a fire pit would be a great thing to add to the property. Other than that, we had an enjoyable experience & I greatly recommend this place!

Unfortunately, the once beautiful Southern Mansion is falling into disrepair. We have been coming…read morehere for more than 20 years and have very slowly seen its decay. In our most recent visit we observed the following: 1. Our shower was not as clean as it should be. The grout was black in some areas. 2. There were quite a few areas below the roofline that had rotted wood. 3. Rotted wood was also noticed on the bottom of the siding near the foundation. 4. We found the yellow paint on part of the building vs. the faded paint on the remainder of the building In desperate need of a new paint job. 5. There are missing roof tiles. 6. The gardens that were once beautiful were full of weeds and dried up flowers. It seems that management is restricting watering of the flowers. 7. The outside shower was filthy, it was smelly and the mold was disgusting in the once beautiful shower. 8. The breakfast was not very good and the cook got the order wrong. 9. The lighting that once lit the outline of the buildings are no longer used in the evening. It appears that the owner lost interest in this property and is probably going to sell it. To run it into the ground and in doing so alienating many loyal customers is not just bad business it's a slap in the face to the many families who year after year support this business I am being generous when I say this is a 3 star hotel at best Sorry to say it but we will return.

All the pastries during tea time were homemade and delicious. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

I like that all the doors use a combo code instead of a key. Every afternoon there is tea & a tasty cake & cookies. The breakfasts were very filling & excellent quality ingredients. We sat on the outdoor porch every morning. Our room was on the 3rd floor & was very nice. The bathroom was very large with a fantastic jacuzzi tub for 2! The room was very bright & plenty of room for us. Could have used some more storage in the bathroom. The location of this place is close to the beach & all the restaurants & shops so fantastic location. Only negative is trying to find parking & the bikes that they give you to use - there was no way to move the seat down so I couldn't ride a bike (sucks to be short!).

We…read morehad previously been to Cape May, and this time wanted to try a B&B, and were so glad that we did. The Mason Cottage was exactly what we were looking for. It is in a giant Victorian home, and I absolutely loved that they have kept the charm from that time period. We had booked the Decatur suite which is on the second floor. Our room was very spacious, and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud!!! The bathroom had both a standing shower and a jacuzzi tub. (I didn't use the tub so I can't comment on that). The room was very clean, as was the bathroom. We were also supplied with two super comfortable robes, which were so soft!!! The breakfast both mornings we were there was delicious, and both very different! The first morning we had a fruit salad with vanilla dressing, followed by a pineapple coconut oat bar with a side of bacon. I could have eaten the oat bar, which was similar to a baked oatmeal, all day long! It wasn't too sweet, and had the perfect amount of fruit. Our second morning, we had a brûlée banana with fresh berries and Chantilly cream followed by an egg and sausage casserole. It was SO good!!! Amy definitely does an amazing job with breakfast. The little touches that added a lot for me was the Bloody Mary bar at breakfast. I love a good Bloody Mary and The Mason Cottage provides all the fixings to make that happen. Also, in the afternoon from 3pm-4pm they put out some light snacks. We had cheese and crackers the first day, with these amazing creme brûlée tarts, our second day we had chips and salsa, an herb dip, and freshly baked cookies. The location is also phenomenal, you are one block from the beach, and one block from shopping! I am looking forward to our next trip, and we will definitely be staying at The Mason Cottage!

The bedroom balcony was huge and beautiful, affording me a panoramic view of the ocean 24/7. At night I kept the balcony door open and fell asleep to the sound of the ocean roaring across the way. Everything I needed was inside the room - kitchenette, large shower, smart tv, lamps, extra lighting, and lots of towels. The innkeeper Liza is such a beautiful person and extended herself to me beyond what I expected. I wasn't sure how to get there and she offered to pick me up from the station - so sweet. I love her! I ended up driving in but it's the thought that counts. It's not every day that people offer things they don't have to do. The beach is clean and felt really private in October. I'm sure the summer is more packed, but it can't be that bad because Cape May itself is just beautiful. There are restaurants, clothes, souvenirs and so much more to do on that strip. I can't wait to go back there.

This is one of the best Inns I have ever been at. This Beach House is located right in the heart of…read moreCape May, New Jersey and is about 20 feet from the beach. As for location, this beach house is exactly where you want to be. There is only one road between you and the beach and it can't get much better than that. You can see and hear the ocean from almost every room in the house so you can enjoy it at all times. The beach is great as well. It's very large and goes very wide. You can spend hours just in front of the 931 swimming or looking for shells. As for activities close to the beach house, there are tons. Everything in Cape May is in walking distance or a very short minute or 2 drive away. There's museums, an arcade, tours, shops, and a lot of local restaurants that will fit anyone's needs. Most of these are right down the street from you, so if you feel like it, you can walk the beach on your way to lunch. For 931 it's self we were more than pleased. It's a very cute Victorian style house that has a modern beach theme on the inside. The rooms are a good size, beds are comfy, and every space has a decent kitchen. Everything is decorated very well and doesn't feel tacky or cluttered. The rooms are well separated and you don't feel too close to any other guests. It's a nice relaxing stay for everyone involved. Overall, 931 Beach House is a cute home that has a lot to offer. It's comfortable and in a great location. Also the people that run the house were amazing and fun to talk too. If you are ever in the area and need a place to stay I highly recommend this one. I know we will be back!
