The Southern Mansion is a four-pearl property in Cape May that gets high points for its style and ambience. The interior decor combines Southern charm (such as a wrap-around porch with wooden rocking chairs) and eccentric flourishes (such as a leopard-print carpet). Its free breakfast, which includes a continental spread plus made-to-order hot dishes, is also another major perk. Travelers looking for closer access to the beach will be disappointed with The Southern Mansion's location closer to Washington Street Mall and should consider looking into Mission Inn. And note: Only children over the age of 10 are allowed on the property.
