We are often told the bedrooms in our house are more beautifully decorated than those of an upscale B & B! All 17 bedrooms are newly renovated, gorgeous, and comfortable with 32' to 43" HDTVs & cable - the perfect respite at the end of a fun-filled day. We provide mattress pads, pillows & comforters. Sheets may be rented for $25/king or queen bed, $20 for full and twin, and the beds will be made. Condo A is the handicap-friendly unit under the main house with 4 bedrooms. Condo B is the adjacent 3 bedroom unit, all Condo B bedrooms have ceiling fans. Condo C is the 3 bedroom condo above Condo B. All condos have been beautifully renovated. Condos A and B are perfect for guests who wish to avoid stairs as both are ground level units. The Harmony bedroom on the 3rd floor has a low ceiling; part of the room has high ceilings, but the bed is under a sloped wall, so keep this in mind when assigning rooms. Ideal for celebrations & family reunions with 17 bedrooms, 9 full & 2 half baths.

Ask a questionAbout Susan
Polly is a Business Continuity Manager at ADT and Sue is an attorney. Sue is an adjunct professor in the College of Professional Studies at Villanova University in Villanova, PA. Polly teaches at Drexel University where she is pursuing a doctorate in Information Studies. In addition to the Victoria Inn, we own and operate our Wellington Oasis (VRBO Listing #995401), a spectacular home in the heart of Wellington (Palm Beach County, Florida) - the Winter Equestrian Capital of the World. Fortunately, Polly is quite handy and enjoys making improvements to the Inn. Sue is constantly painting and redecorating, so returning guests always find something new! We are both avid antique collectors. 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. A recent guest told us she could “feel the love in every room”. If you are looking for a true home away from home, this is your vacation home!
Susan purchased this house in 2004
Why Susan chose Ocean City
WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! We love the history, architecture and charm of old homes. Our gorgeous house was built in 1915 and we've spent the past 16+ years renovating the Victoria Inn, making it an idyllic vacation retreat. We love old homes and the family-friendly atmosphere of Ocean City - a fun, safe place to vacation. OC has won many awards and was recently 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 many other south jersey beach towns. We are located 1 block to the beach 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 2 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 sun! Less than a block from our home you will find 12 tennis courts, a track, football field, shuffleboard courts, basketball court, & beach volleyball. You can 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. A state of the art skate park is just a few blocks away (full pads required).
What makes this house unique
The Victoria Inn is a truly unique setting for fantastic summer vacations, intimate weddings, fabulous birthday parties, memorable anniversaries, festive holiday celebrations, & fun-filled family reunions. Polly and I especially enjoy hosting weddings, & we will gladly assist you in planning the perfect event! Our lovely, partially enclosed courtyard, reminiscent of a French Cafe, has seating for 50 at fabulous cast aluminum furniture with many flowers, hundreds of tiny white lights, stunning pavers and a raised garden, making it a spectacular setting for celebrations! All guests absolutely love the new courtyard. It truly is perfect for all types of celebrations. With accommodations for up to 50, the Victoria Inn provides a reasonably priced retreat venue. Meeting space is available on site, or for large groups just a few blocks away. We will gladly assist with reservations. In addition to celebrations, guests have gathered for Creative Memories Scrap-booking, Mah-Jong weekends, yoga, spiritual, & youth retreats. 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! Just steps from our house are all of the fabulous First Night (New Year's) Activities with fireworks, rides, musicians, shows & magicians. 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, 1 hour to Philadelphia, & 2.5 hours to NY City.
