MEET THE INNKEEPERS
 Bill & Nancy Moncrief
Candlelight Inn, North Wildwood
When Bill and Nancy acquired the 102 year-old Candlelight Inn they learned that this former private residence was built from a set of plans by the town's civil engineer, a man named Leaming Rice. It turns out that Bill's grandfather held the same position in Bill's hometown of Ocean City, a few islands north, around the same time. "We figured they must've known each other," says Bill of the coincidence.
As innkeepers he and Nancy enjoy the relationships they have with their visitors. "We both worked in customer service positions before, but in dealing with people, most of the time the feedback was negative or there was some kind of problem. Here it's reversed. We get mostly acknowledgements of a great time and appreciation of what we did for our guests."
Fun fact: Bill, who once worked in the DC area, says, "One of the great joys of running a B&B is the commute. There is none!"
EAT INN: A decadent and delicious strawberry recipe
Hailing from the legendary Aladdin's Restaurant in California, these Strawberry Cheese Blintzes show up on this B&B's breakfast table. (GrandLady by the Sea, Highlands)
