Periwinkle Inn - A beachfront hotel with oceanfront views, heated pool, and private balconies in Cape May

Located directly on Beach Avenue, this 3-star Cape May hotel features sweeping Atlantic Ocean views and direct beach access. Private balconies or patios complement the spacious rooms, which include double pillow-top queen mattresses, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and microwaves. The property offers a 5-star heated outdoor pool, baby pool, and shuffleboard court for guest recreation. Family amenities include a life-sized dollhouse and sandbox, while BBQ grills are available for outdoor dining. All accommodations feature dry kitchens with cookware and dining tables. The Periwinkle Inn sits 0.5 miles from Cape May Convention Hall and 0.5 miles from Congress Hall. Several popular dining venues, including Harry's Ocean Bar & Grille and Peter Shields Inn & Restaurant, are within walking distance.

Pros

Designated parking space for each room unit

Complimentary trolley service during season

Children under 12 months stay free

Accessible facilities throughout the property, including roll-in showers and mobility-friendly doors

Cons

46.5 miles distance from Atlantic City International Airport

Check-in available only between 3 PM and 8 PM unless special arrangements are made

“Across from the beach, this option trades primarily on location in Cape May's main strip. The pool and updated bathrooms are both pluses, yet breakfast isn't included. For a family seeking a good value, it presents a solid option.”
