Cape May-Lewes
area accommodations offer a wide range of choices. For casual, short-term travelers, there are hotels and motels and bed & breakfast inns. For those who are planning on spending a week or two, or perhaps the whole summer season, hundreds of vacation rentals are available including homes, guest houses, apartments and condos – everything from beach cottages for two to large homes that sleep twenty. The local real estate agencies in Cape May and Lewes will gladly help you choose the perfect vacation rental for you and your family.
The village of Cape May is known for its Victorian Bed & Breakfast inns. There are over three dozen of these “painted ladies” (so called due to their colorful exteriors) within the city limits, many of them right along the ocean shore, others mere blocks from the ocean. Enjoy light and airy rooms where you can throw open the windows and enjoy the fresh sea breezes. The only thing you’ll hear above the peace and quiet is the roar of the ocean waves. All of Cape May’s bed & breakfasts are tastefully decorated, many with period furnishings. Some feature carefully preserved woodworking, original artwork and wicker-filled porches. Others have high verandas furnished with rockers, where you can sit with a good book or enjoy the sights and sounds of the sea. There are so many to choose from in Cape May, everything from a cozy inn that captures the feeling of a Victorian seaside summer cottage to a grand home that is a Select Registry Inn (of which there are just a handful in the state of New Jersey.) Special features may include full buffet breakfast or country breakfast, private baths, afternoon tea with sweets, luxury suites with fireplaces, beach passes, towels and sand chairs. All come with friendly, impeccable service and hospitality.
Other accommodations in the Cape May area include dozens of hotels and motels – but no national chains here, these are traditional, family run seaside motels and historic hotels. You’ll find beachfront hotels and motels run by the same family for generations, and others located near favorite birding spots or near shopping and restaurants. One oceanfront hotel and convention center offers a wide assortment of rooms and suites with kitchenettes. All hotels and motels come with standard amenities such as TV with cable, refrigerators in room, coffee makers, phone service, outdoor swimming pools and free parking. It’s a great place for a wedding, family reunion or business conference. Several “boutique” hotels are located in Cape May and are National Historic Landmarks that are more than 100 years old. They offer a historic ambiance combined with modern amenities.
Lewes has several motels and two small hotel inns that provide a variety of creature comforts and relaxation after a busy day around town or at the beach. The town's bed and breakfast inns offer a quiet private retreat and an opportunity to become part of the local scene by meeting innkeepers and sharing their love and knowledge of the town. Camping is also available in Lewes at the Steamboat Landing Campground and Marina and 3Seasons RV Resort.
