Beauclaires Bed & Breakfast, a 3-star Victorian-style inn, features six elegantly decorated rooms with king or queen pillow-top beds, private baths, and amenities like air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and DVD players. The largest room, Beauclaires Suite, accommodates up to three guests and includes a two-person jacuzzi tub. A gourmet sit-down breakfast is served family-style, featuring hot entrees like egg casseroles, breakfast meats, and homemade muffins, while afternoon tea offers seasonal refreshments. Located on tree-lined Washington Street in Cape May's historic district, the inn is a half-block from the beach and two blocks from downtown shopping and dining. Guests can borrow bicycles and beach badges, and the wrap-around porch provides ocean views.
