Company info

While vacationing here in 1996 we began to look for a property and found the Thomas Webster House. The size of the property, its prominent location, the large trees and stately appearance appealed to our dreams of a quality establishment were quests could forget their worries and discover the quiet charm of Cape May. By the way Harry’s hobby and profession is creating horticultural masterpieces and Berny’s is hospitality!
