Hotel at a Glance: Summer Cottage Inn

The roots of Summer Cottage Inn can be traced back to just after the Civil War, when the Italianate home was built as a summer getaway for wealthy Philadelphian Samuel Harrison. Nearly 150 years later, the bed and breakfast still has that old-fashioned, homey feel.

  • Bountiful breakfast options include housemade scones, waffles, and vegetable-egg strata, washed down with freshly squeezed orange juice.
  • Afternoon tea is available daily, and wine and cheese receptions are held on Friday evenings.
  • Victorian charm: The nine guest rooms are decked out in antique furnishings and romantic floral-print wallpaper.
  • Tour Cape May’s historic district in a horse-drawn carriage.

Cape May, New Jersey: Seaside Resort Town with Victorian Architecture

Long billed as America’s oldest seaside resort, Cape May sits at New Jersey’s southernmost tip. The setting is so idyllic that Travel Channel named the town’s coastline 1 of the top 10 beaches in the country. Aside from beachcombing, popular pastimes here include fishing, whale watching, and bird watching. In fact, the New York Times called Cape May “one of North America’s hottest birding spots.” You might see bald eagles, herons, and woodcocks. In the spring, keep your eyes peeled for the latter’s intricate mating dance.

After a fire ravaged most of Cape May in 1878, residents rebuilt in the contemporary style of the time, and dozens of their stately Victorian homes remain standing today. Consequently, the Cape May Historic District has earned the distinction of being a National Historic Landmark. Horses and carriages tour the colorful, cottage-lined streets, which have been deemed off-limits to chain stores in order to preserve the classic small-town atmosphere. Along Delaware Bay stands the 1859 Cape May Lighthouse. Those who climb the tower’s 199 stairs are rewarded at the top with an unbeatable view of the Atlantic Ocean.
