This is a beautiful and well-located house. The kitchen was well-equipped, the systems all worked well and the theater in the basement was a huge plus. This was our second stay at this property and we highly recommend it.

Amazing location within an easy walk from the downtown shopping and dining district, as well as from the beach. The house is beautifully furnished, comfortable and well supplied with everything you need for a large group get together. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. There were a few glitches when we first arrived, but the owner took care of them right away. Just be advised that it is not a property for disabled folks—lots of steps. Three floors plus a basement with a nice theater and seating area.

We had a fantastic week of family fun and togetherness at this amazing home, by far the nicest vacation rental home we have ever stayed in. The location was perfect — just a short 2 blocks from the beach and shops and restaurants right around the corner. This amazingly restored old and very large Victorian home was absolutely beautiful and super comfortable. The flowers, gardens, and landscaping around the exterior of the house and throughout the property created a wonderful setting to enjoy outdoors and on the porches . Private bathrooms in each of the very distinctive 8 bedrooms were wonderful for all of the family and friends we hosted. The home theater with high end projection and audio equipment was a hit at night with both adults and children and was very easy to use with a simple user friendly application on a tablet at the entrance to the room. The kitchen, large dining area, and living rooms on the first floor were ideal for hosting a large group. If you are looking for the perfect place to create a special and memorable experience for family and friends, this is it! Lastly, owner and host Jason was truly a pleasure to work with — super friendly, responsive, and attentive to our needs. Thank you Jason!!!

Fantastic New Years Getaway

We had the most amazing time at the Empress! The house has all the charm and more in person as it does in the photos. The character of the house and all the details added to the vibe of the trip and the space was perfect for four families of four. The location is incredible, right downtown with access to shops, restaurants and arcade! Huge thank you to Jason the host who was so easy to work with and very responsive!

What a wonderful place! We were a group of 7 couples and each couple had their own room and bath. The house is large, comfortable and quite unique with each space having a distinct personality. It felt like we were living in a different time zone; back in the Victorian age with precious antiques and tapestries in each room. It was a decorator's delight! On top of this the place was spotless and well loved and cared for. And there were many modern amenities as well. We highly recommend the Empress and hope to return one day. Jason, the owner, was very helpful, responded immediately when contacted and was a delight to work with. Viva The Empress!
