This is one of the few B & B's that I have been able to find that can provide 2 beds in one room for my life long friend and I when we get a chance to travel together. Most inns cater to couples which I can appreciate since I like to travel with my husband as well. Every few... More

My husband and I chose to go to Cape May at this off season time beause we wanted a nice and relaxing vacation. Staying at the Gingerbread House was the best choice as the gracious welcome provided by the owners, Joan and Fred, certainly made this happen. The off season value and being in Cape May without the summer crowds... More

My sister and I chose this B&B for our "Sisters Getaway" and we could not have selected a better place to stay. The location is ideal--less than a block to the beach and right in the middle of the historic district. Great restaurants and shopping were all within walking distance. The B&B itself was beautifully furnished, very comfortable and pleasant.... More

Joan and Fred are personable and accommodating, as well as fun to converse with and they are very knowledgeable about the activities at Cape May. This B&B feels like home. It is very clean with lovely decor. The breakfasts were delicious and kept us going through the afternoon. Lovely private porch on the 2nd floor was perfect for spending a... More

We went to Cape May, NJ to experience Victorian weekend and chose the Gingerbread House as our backdrop and Victorian home away from home. Fred and Joan helped make our experience a phenomenal one. From their welcoming personalities to the comfort of the room, to the conversation around the breakfast table with our fellow guests, the experience was nothing short... More

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... More

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... More

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... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at the Gingerbread House. Joan and Fred couldn't have been more accommodating to their guests. The breakfasts were delicious!!! Our room was so lovely and comfortable. My husband and I look forward to another "get-away" at the Gingerbread House. More
