Love sticky buns? Don't miss this Cape May treat!

Each we love to recommend for our guests  fun new things to do in Cape May. Activities or tips that can be the perfect compliment to families visiting Cape May in a vacation home rental; that can add to the guest house experience. To get started, here's our first pick for the 2010 summer:

Ellie's Bakery in West Cape May

They have absolutely best sticky buns EVER! Run by Ellie and her fun daughter Kate (she has a very smart wit), this new bakery in West Cape May opened their doors last year and were a big hit. Head on out in the morning with your kids, it makes the early morning bike ride take on a whole new sense of anticipation and fun. After your first sticky bun you'll know what we're talking about. Get there early because the line can get long and it's best to get your buns right out of the oven (if you know what I mean)!

Cape May and the Longfellow House at its holiday best

Cape May and the Longfellow family guest house is at its holiday best when it's decked out for the season...

Take a carriage ride down the oldest street in Cape May - Hughes street (our house is located on Hughes)... framed by gas street lamps.

Smell fragrant evergreen wreaths and garland...enjoy red bows and sparkling ornaments... and lots of bright twinkling lights over Victorian gingerbread style architecture all help to make this a special holiday season.

One of the things we’re sure your kids will not want to miss is the variety of trolley and walking tours that let you soak in the old world charm of historic Cape May.

We’re only a short 10 minute walk to Emlen Physick Estate where you and the family can stop in at the Carriage House Tearoom & Cafe.

Consider visiting the "Old-Fashioned Christmas" exhibit in the Gallery... maybe even shop for unique gifts for those hard to buy family members and close friends at the Carriage House Gallery Shop.
