This is the bed and breakfast where it all began for Akwaaba owners Monique Greenwood and Glenn Pogue. In 1988, when the couple experienced its first bed and breakfast stay, it was at this popular 20-year-old Cape May inn, built in 1908 as a wedding gift for the daughter of a wealthy doctor. Now you can call it your home on the Jersey shore.

Located directly across the street from Akwaaba by the Sea, every room is spacious and full of light. There are five guest rooms in the main house and two guest suites in the carriage house. A sunny, glassed-in porch is the perfect gathering place year-round, not to mention the elegant parlor with a wood-burning fireplace or the conference center/game room with an oversized, flat-screen TV, guest computer station and handsome table sets for playing cards and board games.

Our Cape May guests enjoy both inns during their stay, and between the two houses, we can sleep up to 34 guests. So in addition to romantic get-aways and solo sojourns, think of us for your business retreats, family reunions, church and social outings, or any private affair, whether you’re celebrating a marriage, anniversary, birthday or retirement--or life itself!
