    This was our second time staying at Twin Gables. We enjoyed our stay as much this time as we did the first time. Regina is a wonderful hostess and the house is very warm and welcoming. Looking forward to the next time we can stay there again.

    May 01, 2013

    We enjoyed ourselves there. It was quite and restful. It was exactly what we wanted. Located in downtown Cape May, it allowed a quick walk to the action.

    Thank you from Pat and Gina

    October 08, 2012

    The place is absolutely georgeous. Our host Regina was very accomodating, warm ,friendly and hospitable. The same goes for his friend Jim who shared jokes with us . And not to forget Rascal, their pet, who's so sweet and lovable. The breakfast was scrumptious ! You just look forward to getting up in the morning and have a taste of Regina's home cooked meal. We missed everyone. We highly recommend Twin Gables if you're looking for a great place to stay in Cape May.Thank you guys for the memories....

    The whole visit was very relaxing. The bed was comfortable and the atmosphere took us back to an era of history quite unique. Morning breakfast was presented with thought and charm.
