Dining Nearby

Several Cape May restaurants, including trolley tour stops and retail shops, are within walking distance. The hotel provides complimentary in-room coffee. No on-site restaurant, but guests can explore local dining options like Congress Hall and Washington Street Mall eateries nearby.

Family-Friendly Activities

The hotel features an outdoor heated pool, baby pool, shuffleboard court, and BBQ grills. Beach rentals include chairs, umbrellas, and paddleboards. The oceanfront promenade offers free summer movies and live music at the Cape May Convention Center. Nearby attractions include Historic Cold Spring Village and birdwatching tours.

Beachfront Location

The Periwinkle Inn sits directly across from Cape May Beach, with access to the promenade. It's a 1-mile walk to the Mid-Atlantic Center for Arts & Humanities and 75 km from Atlantic City International Airport. Complimentary trolley service operates seasonally.

Accessible Services

The hotel provides ADA-compliant rooms with roll-in showers, grab bars, and visual fire alarms. Accessible routes connect public entrances to guestrooms, the pool, and parking. Service animals are welcome. Check-in runs from 3-8 PM, with late arrivals requiring prior notice.

“The manicured grounds and heated pool create an immersive, family-friendly environment steps from the beach. Kitchenettes and daily housekeeping add convenience, while the shuttle to town and organized events build community. In my opinion, this inn blends vintage charm with modern comfort for a memorable Cape May escape.”
