Additional Location Information

Picturesque Cape May holds the distinction of being the oldest seashore resort in the United States and one of the most unique. Stretching 20 miles out to sea, this oasis of ambiance is a refuge from the hectic 20th century American lifestyle.
ITS BEGINNING

In the same year that the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts, a Dutch captain, Cornelius Jacobsen Mey, explored the Delaware River and named the peninsula Cape Mey, after himself, in 1620. The spelling was later changed to Cape May. Over a century later in 1761 Cape May became the first seashore resort in America.

The most distinctive feature about Cape May is its Victorian heritage, carefully retained in several hundred beautifully manicured houses throughout the city. The Victorian Era occurred from 1837 to 1901 when queen Victoria ruled over England. The impact of her reign was felt throughout the world and in Cape May which was then considered to be among the top vacation resorts in the United States.

Cape May has enjoyed a major renaissance in the last decade. Many Victorian structures adorned with carved barge boards, ornate verandas and crowned dormers, have been restored. Most of the homes, hotels, shops and other buildings were constructed in the late 1800's at the prime of the Victorian era. Today small gingerbread houses stand beside magnificent Victorian showplaces.


Cape May History Cape May Information
IMPORTANT MILESTONE

An important milestone was reached in the Bicentennial Year of 1976 when Cape May was officially designated a National Historic Landmark City, only one of five in the nation. That designation requires that the community must retain all structures in their original form and design and will insure that Cape May will remain within the architectural guidelines of the Victorian period.

Cape May is a real life picture postcard of the past. In the summer and the rest of the year it is shared by hundreds of thousands of visitors in an atmosphere that can only be found in this southernmost New Jersey community, situated below the Mason-Dixon line.
It is a place to relax, to enjoy the Atlantic Ocean, the city's charming Mall, and most of all, to view the largest collection of authentic Victorian structures in the nation. Cape May is rich in history. Among its famous visitors have been Maestro John Philip Sousa; circus impresario P.T. Barnum; Civil War Generals Robert E. Lee and William Sherman; Abe Lincoln before becoming president; Presidents James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, Ulysses S. Grant and Benjamin Harrison.

  The Puffin is an ideal location in Cape May, beach block and 1/2 block from shopping area. The Holly Suite has an updated decor with a victorian feel, very clean, and nice and bright. It was great to have a back door private entrance. Mike and Nancy were very hospitable. I will definitely consider renting in summertime since the beach is so close.

  Perfect location with all the comforts of home

  We absolutely loved staying in the Holly Suite at The Puffin in Cape May! It is a perfect location, about 5 houses from the beach and the downtown. The suite was very clean and loved that it had a kitchenette. Perfect for a couple or small family. The Holly Suite has a bedroom with a bathroom (shower only) attached, a living room and kitchenette. There is also a rear door with access to a small deck and stairs down to the main level. Mike and Nancy, the innkeepers are so warm and friendly and made us feel right at home. They are both fantastic with children and clearly take pride in what they do. One afternoon they served tea and cookies, which were delicious and Nancy was so kind as to share the recipe. We really enjoyed sitting on the wrap-around porch and eating breakfast we purchased from a local coffee shop. It was also the perfect place to watch the horse and carriages go by. I would highly recommend both the Holly Suite and The Puffin!
