Congress Hall is okay and they have one really nice, fancy restaurant that's quite good but I think Cape May is better for kids who are old enough to enjoy the ocean - so preschool to teens. I did not find it really fun or relaxing when DC was your child's age.

If you can do without being right next to the ocean the Beach Plum Inn just a few minutes from the boardwalk is just beautiful. It's the most Martha's Vineyard-type place I've seen outside of Martha's Vineyard.
