Just returned from Cape May and had to write about how much we liked this place! Pride of ownership shows here. The property was immaculate. Room was very clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Location couldn't have been better. Great ocean view and close to historic district. Staff was friendly. Our room was on the third floor, no elevator, but Alex... More

First of all, I decided to move our reservations up a week due to weather. The front desk was very helpful in accomdating my request, and I was able to change my reservation (for an understandable fee). We ended up having to take a first floor king suite (rather than the original third-floor king room I booked). While the first... More

Stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. Nice big parking lot in front. Had a king suite. Perfect for the two of us. Clean, efficiently furnished rooms. Bed was super comfortable. Every room has an ocean view from the balcony. We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony every morning! Breakfast was decent. Cereal, coffee, nice homemade pastries. Can't beat it! Front desk... More

We stayed here for 5 nights over Memorial Day weekend and after. Clean room, fridge, ocean view, quiet. Excellent access to restaurants and the sea front. Good base for exploring the local area. We were birdwatching, and all the best sites were within a 15-35 minute journey.

We stayed here for a family weekend last May. The owners are very friendly, rooms are clean, and it is in a great location. We were within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. It was nice to sit out on the porch and not only have an ocean view but we could watch the horse and carriages go... More

My husband & I just stayed 3 nights at the Avondale and we really enjoyed it again!! Our room was very clean and comfy. We especially enjoy sitting in the rocking chairs looking out at the ocean and people watching. It is in a great location--within a few block to the Washington Street mall, historic area & restaurants. The owners... More
