Best B&B in Cape May, 2007–2026
AAA Four Diamond
The Inn
Three 1880s homes and an 1876 gambling parlor.
Built in 1881 by Douglas Gregory, a Cape May native and Delaware River pilot, the Queen Victoria was restored in 1980 by Dane and Joan Wells and opened as an inn the following spring. Italianate turret windows, an Edwardian porch, a French mansard roof – a true Victorian blend, kept in period and kept in use.
Today four buildings share picturesque porches, parlors with working fireplaces, and pantries stocked around the clock with tea, coffee, cocoa and cold drinks. Bicycles, beach chairs and towels are yours for the week.
