Our stay at Jason's house was great, the house is beautiful along with having so many ammenities. It is centrally located in cape may with everything in walking distance. We look forward to staying again in the future!

We were a large group of older adults (youngest 55) who rented the whole property. There are eight bedrooms, and each has its own bathroom (plus a powder room on the main floor). While the kitchen is on the smaller side, it still worked because it had an island, and a large closet for storing some big items (like extra rolls of paper towels, toilet paper, etc.). The owner was responsive. There are two washers, dryers, and dishwashers. The location is stellar. We could walk to many restaurants, the beach, Revolution Railroad, and the main shopping area in town. It was just a short drive (Uber available) away from breweries, wineries, and Wildwood boardwalk. With all VRBO or home rentals, it is wise to purchase damage insurance just in case there is an accident in the home. Our stay was such fun. There is a big dining room area that opens into two sitting areas, which was perfect for lots of chatting. One of my personal favorite parts was the Sonos music that we were able to play through the entire downstairs (and upstairs) of the home. It was a memorable trip that we all enjoyed.

The property is sparkling clean. The house is stunning inside and out. The location is perfect. And my family would rent again in a minute!

This home was amazing and perfect for our large and growing family. My husband and I have 7 children. Six of our children are married and four of them have children of their own, 8 in all. Since the home had 8 gorgeously furnished bedrooms, each family could have their own bedroom and bathroom, with even two bathrooms to spare! We loved the theater room. It was unlike anything we had seen before. We made movie tickets for the kids and popcorn was handed out upon entering. It was the real deal! Jason was easy to reach, great to work with and we could tell he wanted us to enjoy our week stay. We could even easily watch the 4th of July fireworks from the front porch. The house is a show stopper as it is situated in the historic section of town. We could walk to shops quickly because they were very close by, as we did many days, to get ice cream in the evening, or cappuccinos and danish in the morning. We are very thankful that we had the privilege of staying at ‘The Empress’!

A group of 12 ladies stayed for a girls' weekend in May. Beautiful house, spotlessly clean. We enjoyed the beach, walking to the shops and restaurants, and a trip to the winery. The homeowners were very responsive and answered all our questions. Definitely recommend!

We rented this house for a college student retreat and the students were thrilled with it. It's ideally located near shops and the oceanfront, and yet was quiet and private (though we went during the off-season). Lots of cafes and a grocery store nearby (though sadly the doughnut shop had not reopened yet). The details of the listing are what sold it for me, as I wanted a memorable location for the group. The beds were comfortable, the water pressure was great, and there was room to spread out. I appreciated small touches like having fans in each bedroom so that you could have some white noise at night. One of the best features was not having to share a bathroom between rooms. While appearing small at first glance, they were actually fairly spacious. We enjoyed the movie theatre and the functional popcorn cart (the projection system could be a bit finicky, but we were always able to get it working). My students couldn't stop talking about the Victorian dolls and the mannequin manning the ticket booth. We used the kitchen quite a bit and were able to gather 14 people in the dining room with no issues. The house was very clean. The large washers and driers are perfect if you need to do laundry during your stay, and the two dishwashers made cleanup after meals much easier. The kitchen could benefit from a few more large pots and bowls, so if you're doing a lot of cooking for a big group you may want to bring some. It's stocked with most all the utensils you could need, though, along with some basic spices and ingredients for making popcorn in the cart. The second oven was not working while we were there, but a part is supposedly on the way and the one larger oven sufficed for our needs. The gas fireplace in the living room was also not working--it's possible that we were not using it correctly, but I'm fairly certain there was an issue with it as we could never get any gas to come out. The owner was very responsive via phone. He was supposed to send someone to look at the fireplace but I never saw anyone (they could have stopped by while I was out). It was a minor thing, though, and didn't detract much from our enjoyment of the place. Overall, a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Wonderful!!!

Wonderful!!!

Ages ranged from 45 to 80. We got lucky with the weather so we didn't spend much time indoors; however, the house was perfect to keep all happy and entertained. Everyone had plenty of space and privacy. The house is walking distance to just about everything.

This house was perfect for our group of 12 - plenty of space to hang out inside and walking distance to all of our favorite places in town. Jason and his team were very accommodating!

Everything about my experience was exceptional. The home was better than advertised. Large, extremely clean and very well equipped. The location is perfect…a short walk to the beach and an even shorter walk to the walking mall. Last but not least from the moment I made my reservation to the time I checked out the host was exceptional. He was available by phone or text for all of my questions. All in all it was a great week in a great home!

Grandparents to toddlers and everyone in between loved staying at the empress for a multi-family and multi-generational reunion. While there are many options for large houses, or interesting historical houses, or luxurious accommodations, or ones with good location, in all my research this is the best place to stay that optimizes all of those factors. Beautiful details, warm and comfortable gathering and private spaces (plus show stoppers like the movie theater), and great hospitality and interactions with the host made this a great place for our group of Cape May veterans. If you are on the fence, just book it.

Property was very Victorian as promised. When we rented we were not aware of the extensive rules with respect to use of the property. These should be included in any advertising literature. Location is fantastic, accommodations great. AC leaves a bit to be desired especially on the 3rd fl. Must be able to navigate the stairs.

This house is simply amazing! From the beautiful decor and amenities to the convenience of being so close to the beach and shopping area, it was truly one of the best stays we’ve had in Cape May. The communication with the owner was also very good. I love this house.

Fabulous House; Prime Location!

It's a beautiful house! The owners put their time and thought into this house. Things are nicely labelled in the kitchen. There are fans and Bose sound systems in every room. The place was spotlessly clean. I can go on and on, but simply put, it was the nicest, most comfortable house we've stayed at. And the location was great for shopping as well as the boardwalk. Everything was perfect. Thank you!

We have been to Cape May many times and there is no better location. We did not need to use the car for anything. Walking distance to the beach, shopping and multiple restaurants. The house is beautiful inside. The pictures on the site do not do it justice. We had 4 generations of our family with us. Plenty of space for everyone. Never felt crowded. Every bed was extremely comfortable. Sitting on the porch in the evenings was awesome although you need to be prepared to answer questions from people walking by. Jason is an outstanding host with quick responses to any questions we had. I highly recommend this home.

The property is nice, as pictured. Only complaint was that there was a musty smell throughout the house and the floors/ carpet weren’t that clean. Great location, was a perfect house for 4 families to celebrate NYE.

We love Cape May throughout the year however during the holidays there is something magical about this town. From the horse and carriage rides to the Victorian homes decorated for Christmas. This home was beautiful. Every detail was thought of from the decor to the necessities. Jason had the house fully stocked from sponges and paper towels to linens and detergents. We have been renting homes at the shore for six years now and have never been to one like this, fully stocked and immaculate! We truly felt at home. We were a few couples with children Ranging from 1 to 10. The children enjoyed the movie theater. We brought our own microwave popcorn but there is a popcorn maker. The dining room had 3 tables so plenty of room for everyone to eat. Nearby restaurants to order to-go from pizza to Mexican to seafood and burgers. There was nothing missing to help clean up our crumbs and dishes. 4 floors which includes the basement so PLENTY of space for a large group. Plenty of TVs as well but who needs the TV when there is a smart theater with netflix etc. we were a two minute walk to the heart of cape may with the stores ice cream and carriage rides so close. Restaurants are so close as well! We ate at the Ugly Mug one night, never disappoints. The kitchen has a nice island to gather around and line up for a buffet style meal. I can go on and on we had such a great time. I even brought our daughters Christmas dresses and took some holiday card photos. Jason answered all of my questions right away is available via text. We look forward to visiting again soon! Thank you to Jason and his wife for making this trip possible for us. We wish you the best of luck and many happy memories in this beautiful home.
