                                This spacious old home is a short walk from the beautiful beach and boardwalk. Our family reunion consisted of three generations, and all had a wonderful weekend. The kitchen was just large enough for our group of 13 adults to sit down together for meals. It is well-equipped with appliances, dishes, and cookware. Since we were there in March, there was not much happening in terms of amusements, but there certainly would be for visitors later in the season. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

                                Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, age 55+, girls getaway.

                                Owner response: Our home is ideal for family reunions, and has hosted dozens over the past five seasons! Built circa 1915, many generations have made memories to last a lifetime in our beautifully restored Victorian. Perfect for holidays, special events and summer vacations - come see us and make your own wonderful memories!

                                I absolutely love coming to this house every year for our family reunion! Ever since I came to one 2 years ago I make sure I get to each one now. It is a beautiful, well kept, clean, spacious house. Love love love all the antiques and homey feeling that it has. Can't wait for our next reunion in 3 weeks, it is going to be so much fun as always. Praying some beautiful weather like it has been the past 2 years. Can't wait to see all my family.

                                When choosing a place to rent, we needed somewhere that could accommodate up to 10 people and was within walking distance to the boardwalk. By the time we had narrowed down a date, there weren't too many places left matching that description, but the Victoria Inn looked like the best balance between location, size, character, and cost. Overall, we had a great experience. We found the place to be consistent with its on-line description and photos. The enormous kitchen and wrap around porch were big pluses. We didn't make use of the bar, but that could be a cool amenity for the right occasion. Only suggestion for owners is to consider a more opaque curtain in the first floor bathroom as it seemed possible that people on the landing below could see inside at night. But if that's the biggest suggestion that came up after a week long family reunion, the place must be pretty good. One FYI: as expected the house is furnished with many antiques, but also with many fragile collectables and decorations that were within easy reach of our toddler. Luckily, he is very redirectable when he shows interest in something he shouldn't be touching. But if a renter has a small child that loves picking everything up and seeing if it can bounce, he/she may want to warn the owners to temporarily remove the more tempting within-reach objects before arrival.

                                Owner response: Eric, Thanks for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your vacation and our home. We will certainly get a more opaque curtain for the first floor bath! Many of our guests do move the breakables if they have small children renting, but we will also gladly take care of that upon request. Thanks again! Sue

                                This was the most beautiful house! It also was the CLEANEST house! It had everything you could need or want, we never had to say wish the house had this or that. WE had our 4 daughters and their family's total of 18 people. We had more than enough room for all of us. I would highly reccomened this house to anyone who enjoys a clean and spacious house. All the appliances were new and updated, the washer and dryer were larger that the smaller ones usually in rental houses. There was a huge supply of dishes and glasses and they were beautiful as well. Large pot for clams or lobsters and many more to cook with. I could go on and on, just have to say, if you get a chance to rent this house DO IT!!!!

                                Beautiful house, well stocked kitchen,great porch, owners made sure we all had plenty of parking, gave us detailed directions, many tips on shopping and restaurants, they could not have been more helpful. The only negative thing I can say is that the bathroom on the third floor is in the master bedroom, so the other bedrooms on the third floor basically must use the second floor bathroom. So you have six bedrooms using one bathroom unless they want to go to the main floor. Other than that it is a great house for kids, tons of games, kept my 5 grandchildren entertained for hours. We would absolutely stay again.

We are planning on adding a third floor powder room this fall/winter and will update the listing when it is complete! Thanks again for staying with us! Sue

                                I really wanted to spend my 50th Bday at my favorite place in the world, Ocean City !! My friends and family are regular renters during the summer but we tried something different, spending a long weekend in OC in November. What a great idea and what a great place we found in this quaint but well-kept Victorian. All 16 of us stayed comfortably in the main house but toured the other units available for rent. The sizes of the additional units were very spacious and could accommodate many people. When we selected the Victorian Inn as our place of choice, the owners were extremely accommodating in searching for caterers to host the big Bday bash. They even offered to cater the party in addition to recommending salons for massages, manicures and pedicures for the Bday girl. In the end, a great place with great owners , the price was right and I would highly recommend all to enjoy the pleasure of staying in this house! Thanks again for making a milestone in my life, VERY MEMORABLE !!

Birthday Parties are becoming our most popular off-season events, but I can honestly say you had the very BEST decorations. The house looked great! We enjoyed meeting your wonderful friends and family and look forward to seeing all of you again. We hope your 50th year holds nothing but joy and happiness.

                                Our group recently stayed at the Victoria Inn and had a wonderful weekend! The location is amazing - just 1 block from the beach and boardwalk. We were also just 4 blocks from the Downtown shops. The house is very spacious and decorated beautifully. Each room was warm and inviting. There are seven bedrooms, so if you have a large group you would have plenty of room. The home was very clean and the kitchen had everything that we needed. The full-size bar in the dining room was especially nice when we enjoyed cocktails before going out to dinner. There are plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distance - there was never a need to get in the car and drive. I would highly recommend this home to everyone!! We can't wait to go back next year.

We look forward to seeing you next year!

                                Beautiful Victorian beach home with ample space for large groups. We utilized the main house along with one of the condos for our function of 30 women. We had plenty of room to spread out among the meticulously decorated rooms and were able to gather together in the courtyard surrounded by flowers. The property is convienently located within one block to the beach and boardwalk in the quietier north end. The owner was warm and friendly, easily accessable and helpful with local information during the planning phase. We all enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property to families or for larger gatherings.

                                That's how our son described our stay at this hospitable house. Family members ranged in age from 4 to 78, and there was something for everybody-board games, beach books, electronic games, tv sets, etc. But the location is even better, close to the boardwalk and the beach. It made for the ideal family reunion/vacation. We plan to return. Hurricane Irene made us leave early, but she couldn't dampen our spirits after our stay.

                                My family rented the Victorian for the second week of August this summer. We had 4 families, 16 people total, and the house was the perfect size for us. It was beautifully decorated, very clean, and had every amenity we needed. Air conditioning made everything very comfortable. Plenty of showers! (5 including the 2 external showers). The house had wi-fi and 2 flat screen tvs. We used the laundry machines every day. The kitchen was very large and a great gathering place. It had all manner of pots and utensils, microwave, stove, large refrigerator, very large table, etc. Grocery store a short ride into town. Between the family room, breakfast/bar area, and living room there was plenty of place to spread out and relax at night or in the morning. We especially liked the large porch area after a day at the beach. Speaking of the beach, it was right at the end of the block, a short walk even with your beach chairs and coolers. Once you get to the beach you can sit right down as the water is right there. The water and sand at the beach was clean and beautiful. The waves were great and the water was very warm in August. The beach was very family oriented. The boardwalk is also right there for enjoying during the day or the evenings. Plenty of little shops and food stands, as well as movie theaters. On the way to the beach you also pass by free shuffle board courts, which we used. There was also a long row of beach volleyball nets right at the beach, and tennis courts down the street at the other end of our block. The boardwalk at the end of the street also had an amusement park with rides, arcades, and mini golf, etc. One day we took a 1/2 hour drive to Cape May to walk the shops. Some of us went fishing and crabbing several times at the bay near town. Overall it was a great beach week and it was great being able to hang out together at the house rather than being in separate hotel rooms somewhere. The owner, Susan, was very helpful throughout the entire process and very kindly saved us 2 additional parking spots right in front of the house before we got there. Those spots and the 2 we had in the driveway worked out just fine for us. Everyone in our party agreed that the house was great and we would love to go back again.

                              Year Purchased: 2004

                              About the owner: My partner Polly and I both love collecting antiques, renovating houses, traveling, and reading. I have four children ages 16 to 24, and the youngest enjoy spending their summers at the beach with us. While my primary job is managing The Victoria Inn, I have lots of other “part-time” jobs. Polly and I are both adjunct professors in the Continuing Studies Department at Villanova University, teaching in the Paralegal Certificate Program. I teach real estate and estate planning and Polly teaches Information Systems. I have my law degree from Widener and my LLM from Villanova. Polly has a bachelor’s degree in paralegal studies, her Master’s in Information Systems from Drexel University, and is currently pursuing a Six Sigma Certification. Polly works for ADT Security as a Senior Analyst, Environment, Health, Safety and Wellness. I am an attorney with a small practice limited to estates and real estate. Fortunately, Polly is quite handy and enjoys making improvements to the Inn. I’m constantly redecorating, so returning guests always find something new! We are both avid antique collectors and have a small shop in Seaville, NJ. Most weekends, time permitting, we are at estate sales, garage sales, or antique stores. It’s one of our favorite ways to spend an afternoon. We’ve had so much fun renovating, furnishing and decorating our house. If you are looking for a true home away from home, this is your vacation home!

                              Why the Owner Chose Other Ocean City Properties:
                              WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! We love old homes and the family-friendly atmosphere of Ocean City - a fun, safe place to vacation. Ocean City was named the greatest family vacation resort by Travel magazine! It's comforting to allow the children to explore the town without worrying about bars on every corner as found in so many other south jersey beach towns. We are located one block to the newly expanded beach (April 2013) and 2.5 mile boardwalk. Every block of our fabulous beach is guarded, & the 7th Street beach is a guarded beach only for surfing. With so much to do, you can walk anywhere and avoid paying for parking! The boardwalk has two great amusement piers, a water park, several mini-golf courses, music pier, arcades, surf shops, a movie theater, dozens of stores, and every kind of 'fun food' imaginable: ice cream, pizza, salt water taffy, caramel corn, water ice, candy, fudge, French fries, seafood, smoothies, cotton candy, and more. We are just a couple of blocks to the 100+ shops and many restaurants on Asbury Avenue, a great shopping venue for a girls' weekend or a break from the hot sun! Less than one block from our home you will find 12 tennis courts, a track, football field, shuffleboard courts, basketball court, & beach volleyball. You can even rent bicycles for a morning ride on the boardwalk. Just a few blocks away is the bay where you can rent jet skis, go deep sea fishing, crabbing, enjoy a whale & dolphin watching cruise, go parasailing, or enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many outdoor cafes overlooking the water. We are fortunate to live in one of the units year-round. We truly enjoy hosting special events. The Inn is conveniently located 20 minutes to Atlantic City’s casinos & terrific shopping outlets; 30 minutes to historic Cape May with its famous zoo, many antique stores, dozens of shops, Victorian homes & fantastic restaurants; an hour to Philadelphia, & 2.5 hours to New York City.

                              The Unique Benefits at this House:
                              ALL HURRICANE SANDY REPAIRS ARE COMPLETE; THE VICTORIA INN HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED AND RENOVATED. OUR PROPERTY IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO EVIDENCE OF ANY HURRICANE DAMAGE. THE CITY OF OCEAN CITY, THE VAST MAJORITY OF BUSINESSES, THE ENTIRE BOARDWALK, & MOST HOMES HAVE FULLY RECOVERED FROM THE HURRICANE. The Victoria Inn is a truly unique setting for summer vacations, intimate weddings, fabulous birthday parties, memorable anniversaries, festive holiday celebrations, & fun-filled family reunions. As partners, Polly and I especially enjoy hosting civil unions and weddings, & we will gladly assist you in planning the perfect event. Our lovely, fully enclosed courtyard, reminiscent of a French Cafe, has seating for 40 at fabulous wrought iron tables & chairs with many potted, hanging & climbing flowers, & hundreds of tiny white lights. With accommodations for up to 40, the Victoria Inn provides a reasonably priced retreat venue, ideal for corporate, youth & spiritual retreats. Meeting space for large groups is available at St. Peter's UMC, just a few blocks from the Inn. From mid-June through Labor Day, rentals are on a weekly basis. From September through mid-June, a 2 to 3 night minimum stay is generally required. In addition to celebrations, guests have gathered for Creative Memories Scrap-booking, Mah-Jong weekends, yoga and spiritual retreats, & many youth groups. Ocean City also hosts many special events including the M.S. Bike-a-thon, ALS walk, antique car show, Spring & Fall Block Parties, craft shows, art shows, Easter Egg Hunt with 100,000 eggs, Decorated Hat Parade, Halloween Festivities, Trick-or-Treating, Hayrides on the boardwalk, Music Festivals, Breakfast with Santa & Free Horse & Carriage Rides!
