Christmas
This was a family get together to enjoy the beautiful town of Cape May during the holiday season. I saw the Empress while on a spring girls trip and took a picture of the sign to remember it. Best decision I made. This home is restored with nothing held back. Beyond beautiful. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer.

The Beautiful Empress
This beautiful Victorian home was perfect for the 30th anniversary of our friendship celebration. The home was immaculate and the location was within walking distance to wonderful restaurants and shopping. We particularly enjoyed our last evening together in the home theatre.
