Periwinkle Inn

Where Is It? On Beach Avenue, a stroll from Cape May’s fine restaurants and shops.

Why Should I Stay There? The Periwinkle was named one of Eight Most Romantic Places to Stay in New Jersey, by Trips To Discover. “Come here for your beachfront getaway to feel like you’re in paradise,” was how the travel site described their time here.

Families enjoy playing lawn games around the beautifully manicured property. And there’s so much choice — the Periwinkle offers seven types of rooms, from hotel rooms to suites.

On most evenings, there’s a free golf cart shuttle (weather permitting) for guests, reservations required.

As an extra treat, there’s live music poolside in the afternoons on certain days of the week — inquire within for more details. Guests have been known to dance right from the lawn and into the pool!

With easy, direct access to beautiful beaches, the Periwinkle is the perfect spot for weddings — “We are just a bouquet’s throw to the beach!” is the saying.

The Periwinkle recently enjoyed a stylish renovation — combine that with the gorgeous, French-style building on picturesque grounds, offering a charming ambiance, affordable prices and great ocean views, and you have one very fine vacation base!

Enjoy the secluded privacy of the pool and the lush gardens, which include a picnic area with BBQ grills. Children love the baby pool and sandbox, filled with toys, including a life-size doll house with a play kitchen.

There are shuffleboard courts available any time. Lounge chairs are dotted around the lovely grounds and by the pool.

You might not even make it to the beach — this is such a private little playground for you and your family.

Whether you are in the mood for a romantic getaway (Cape May is gorgeous in spring and fall, too!) or need a family retreat, the Periwinkle is what you’re looking for.
