It's taken me a while to write this review as I hate to exert energy on negativity. My husband & I booked what we thought would be a lovely room to spend our first night as a married couple. Mind you that as Catholics we decided not to live together until we married. You can imagine our disappointment then, when... More

I stayed here in early May with a GroupOn deal. Not much happens in Cape May during this time and the weather was a bit off, so the town seemed very empty. But it still had its charms. This was my first visit to Cape May and I appreciated the Southern Mansion very much. But there were some other B&Bs... More

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here after luckily taking advantage of a Groupon. From the moment we were greeted by Rita and Barbara we were treated wonderfully! The mansion is exquisite and immaculate as are the grounds. Every view is breathtaking, especially if you enjoy fine woodwork and antiques. The staff met every need we had. Don't miss... More

Huge well appointed rooms in the main house with modern amenities. Highly recommend to hold wedding/wedding reception as the grounds and interior are gracious. Staff was wonderful and attentive. The ONLY downside was a recommendation to a local restaurant The Pilot House which was horrible - steer away. More

I stayed here for 2 nights with GroupOn rate. Fantastic value. Breakfast was by far the best and biggest I have ever had served at a hotel/B&B. The whole hotel is beautiful in an old world charming way. We stayed in room 8 on third floor. Furnishings were very nice. Some aspects of the room needed updating but that can... More

OK..... it's old and it shows in some places. They call that character. Staff was incredible. Breakfast was 5 stars.... I thought it was going to be just short of filling but it was so rich I almost didn't finish it. This place was really clean. I tried to find dust and saw a little on the bathroom exhaust fan...

This quaint gorgeous mansion was just what everyone needs to experience. Rita another real gem was our first greeting and boy was she a pleasure. From day one till we left she really knows what southern hospitality really means. Highly recommend this . Will certainly be on our re-visit list. More

My husband and I stayed at Southern Mansion April 1-3, 2012 and found it to be a most delightful, clean and hospitable place. The breakfast was wonderful with excellent food choices for continental and full breakfast at no cost but do remember to tip the excellent staff. The front desk staff was most helpful and accommodating. The location is great... More

If you're looking to get away for a relaxing weekend, a lot of folks would say, "Look no further than Cape May..." - but I want you to look further INTO Cape May and spend some time at The Southern Mansion! As soon as you enter, you are drawn in to the Mansion's surroundings - the old seemlessly combined with... More

My wife and I stayed at Southern Mansion in June. The B&B itself is beautiful. The rooms are very nice but some could use a little updating. The location is OK but I would prefer to stay closer to the beach and main strip next time. It is right by alot of great shops though. The breakfast was very good... More
