My husband and I first came to Cape May for the day about 10 years ago and have been coming there several times a year ever since. We stayed at different hotels at first, but after discovering the Webster Suites on Washington Street, would never stay any place elseβ¦it is such a wonderful place, quiet and with the most exotic gardens in Cape May.
The owners, Berney and Harry Gamble, extend the most gracious, attentive care of any place we have ever stayed. But, what is most special about Cape May are the people, both those that live there and those that visit.
Most everyone is friendly and courteous, and are there for the same reason, their love of Cape May. The first time I went [to Cape May] I was four years old. There I discovered the sea. I returned again when I was 12 years old. At 25 I met my friend Cape May again and made other friends: the history of Cape May, the magnificent Victorian houses, and the people who live in them.
At 30, I returned with my daughter so she would know this magical place, come to know my friends as I had known them. This place is always magnificent.
The splendid Victorian homes, its beacon [lighthouse], the people who live there, the side-street boutiques so typical [of Cape May], the Concrete Ship, its calm atmosphere and the seaβ¦.
