Those staying at this pleasantly restored Victorian hotel are in for a treat, because a stay includes breakfast at the owner’s restaurant, the Mad Batter, one of Cape
May’s best dining spots. The restaurant’s name should tell you something about innkeeper Mark Kulkowitz’s interests. If not, stepping inside will. While the aroma of the innovative cuisine whets your appetite, you can peruse the corner that pays homage to short stop and an-nouncer Phil Rizzuto. A baseball buff, Mark is especially fond of the Yankees of the ‘50s.
Built as a hotel, Carroll Villa feels like a hotel. It once had more and smaller bed-rooms, but through the years walls have been removed to create more space. Though rooms are furnished with some Victorian-era antiques, the overwhelming feeling is crisp and new.
