Periwinkle Inn

A boutique hotel filled with flowers, lush gardens and a five-star pool. Voted one of the most romantic hotels in the state.

WHERE IS IT? On Beach Avenue, a stroll from restaurants and shops.

WHY SHOULD I STAY THERE? The Periwinkle Inn 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 stay.

This gem by the sea offers seven types of rooms, from hotel rooms to suites. With easy, direct access to beautiful beaches, the Periwinkle Inn is the perfect spot for weddings — “We are just a bouquet’s throw to the beach!” is the saying.

The Periwinkle, with its eye-catching French-style architecture and picturesque grounds, offers a delightful and memorable experience for the entire family. Enjoy the secluded privacy of the pool and the lush gardens, which include a picnic area with grills. There are shuffleboard courts available any time. Lounge chairs are dotted around the manictured grounds and pool. Kids love the baby 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 Inn is what you’re looking for.
