Fred and Joan were the perfect hosts. Their home is meticulously maintained both inside and out. Beauitful antiques and Fred's fine woodworking skills are evident thoughout the house. Starting with the gorgeous teak front door. Joans breakfasts and afternoon tea deserts were all delicious. It's small enough to feel warm and intimate (6 quest rooms, I think). We enjoyed our... more

Joan's breakfast casseroles were delicious... more

The amenities, like the beach chairs, beach towels, and outside... more

After being stuck in a bind and had no room booked for Friday night in Cape May, the Gingerbread house took us in, booked us in a beautiful 3rd floor room with vaulted ceilings and charming arched windows that overlooked the street. The Innkeeper was the most hospitable and generous person! This place was such a wonderful accidental find! more
