Stepping back in time in perfectly restored and meticulously kept home, we enjoyed some extremely hard to come by family time thanks to Joan and Fred. Always engaging and thoughtful, Joan and Fred made us feel welcomed as soon as we arrived. Our days started with full well balanced breakfasts, visually pleasing and equally delicious. After eating enough for an entire day, we enjoyed refreshing sea air, pleasant surf and relaxing strolls in the beauty of Cape May. Enjoying a drink, a book or some ipad time on the downstairs or upstairs porch, relaxation was impossible to avoid. On behalf of my wife, children (ages 11 and 13) and my mother-in law (age 80), we feel blessed to have such a special place cared for by such wonderful people to go to in order to get away and be together. Thank you Joan and Fred and we will see you in 2012 and every year after.

The Gingerbread House has been lovingly restored personally by Fred and Joan the owners.
The attention to detail is overwhelming in every aspect of this Bed and Breakfast. Joan made us feel welcome and comfortable from our first conversation and this warmth followed through to their very personal good byes at the front door. The location is great . Within walking distance of EVERYTHING. Our room was charming and most importantly comfortable with every amenity available. If you couldn't find it, just ask and it was provided.We will most certainly be back. Loved it !!

Fred and Joan are two excellent inn keepers. Their warmth and welcoming is exceptional. Was a great place to visit and the location is tops. The inn is beautifully decorated and definitely reflects their personalities. Thanks for a great two nights.

I hesitate to write how special a place it was for fear others will find it. Just a block from the beach located in one of the most beautifully restored Victorian houses in Cape May, the Gingerbread house was the perfect place to spend my birthday. Joan's breakfast was divine every morning, and I am still trying to make her peaches. Fread was just adorable. They made us feel welcome and at home. We loved little Penny the sweetest cat on the porch. The place was spotless and we were looking for the little elves that must dust and shine every piece furniture. I will be back, I loved it.
