The Dormer House

The Dormer House, a Cape May Bed and Breakfast, is a center hall "colonial revival" built in 1899 for a rich marble dealer John Jacoby of Philadelphia. Mr. Jacoby, founder and first Commodore of the Cape May Yacht Club, built the cottage for his family as a summer house for "gracious living and entertaining." We offer 12 rooms & suites and an attached cottage. Wide, wonderful long porches wrap the Dormer House Bed and Breakfast. You will love the grand porches as you rock away the hours inside or out during Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter. A delightful spot to sip a glass of fresh, ice cold lemonade and let the quiet and charm of Cape May sink deep inside. A perfect beginning for a few days at the shore.
