TheDigestOnline.com just released its "12 Best New Jersey Staycations to Book in 2023" list and Cape May boasts three different winners!  

Here is what they had to say:

For those unfamiliar with the term, a staycation is just a vacation taken close to (or at) home. But staying close to home doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be missing out on some grand adventure. With its rich history and varying landscapes, New Jersey will satisfy your most deep-rooted wanderlust. With this list of the 12 best New Jersey staycations, you’ll question why it’s taken you so long to visit these Garden State gems.

#6 The Virginia Hotel, Cape May

In 1878, a destructive blaze destroyed nearly 40 acres of property in Cape May. Shortly after, The Virginia Hotel was built and now serves as one of the city’s oldest treasures. Restored in 1989, the hotel bridges Cape May’s Victorian-era charm with modern luxuries: WiFi and cotton terry robes. A continental breakfast brought to the door (or front porch) every morning. Outside of The Virginia Hotel are coastal eateries, Cape May’s Rotary Park, and monuments for you to visit in the chilly upcoming months. But, if you’re waiting for the Summer to plan your New Jersey staycation, the beaches here will not disappoint.

#10 Congress Hall, Cape May

Once referred to as the “Summer White House,” Congress Hall has the historic title of America’s first seaside resort. The hotel offers a personal coastal oasis for each guest, focusing on antique detail and luxury conveniences. Although Cape May is synonymous with beaches and the warmer seasons, the city continues to bustle in colder months. Guests can take a trip to visit Cape May’s historic lighthouse or register for a wine tasting at Willow Creek Winery & Farm. Because Congress Hall is near activities appropriate for all ages, this is one of the best places for families to book their New Jersey staycation.

#11 The Reeds at Shelter Haven, Stone Harbor

Overlooking the bay, The Reeds at Shelter Haven is a boutique hotel and spa with elegant, modern-designed rooms and luxurious suites. A six-minute walk from Stone Harbor Beach, The Reeds is an ideal setting for those who love to lay in the sun. But for those looking for a bit more to do, the Stone Harbor Museum is nearby. Visitors could stop by and peruse through the city’s detailed history. Or if you’re looking for new eateries to rave about, grab a bite to eat at Ristorante Luciano, an Italian eatery a few blocks away from The Reeds.
