Decided to take a girls trip with my MIL and daughter and booked the King room 12 as it was 3 of us. Check in process was very easy. The lady was super sweet, telling us everything we needed to know. She showed us how to order our breakfast, walked us to our room and even helped bring the bags up. With the Manison being adults only " only kids 12 or older" I was worried about other guests not liking the fact I had my daughter there. She is 11 going on 12. I made sure to call and asked if that would be ok before I booked. No one batted an eye about her and we had so much fun exploring the mansion. Thanks to the wonderful lady serving breakfast we found out we could go to the small room at the very top of the house. This became my daughter's favorite place and we even watched the sunset up there one night. It was nice to sit by the fireplace at night before bed. I like how close the shops downtown are from the manison, easy to walk to. This was our first but not our last visit. We can not wait to go back again. My only complaint would be about the heat in our room. The loft area got way to hot once the heat was on, but still leaving the main room ice cold. We worked through it and it did not ruin our stay but would have been nice to have all rooms heated to same.

My husband and I just spent our 1 year wedding anniversary trip staying at The Southern Mansion. We had a lovely experience the entire time. We had never stayed there before, but definitely would again. I'm fairly certain we were the youngest people staying there at the time hahaha, but I sort of prefer it that way. The breakfasts were also delicious.

We have been coming to Cape May for years and have always wanted to stay here. Finally did and was not disappointed. Beautiful, clean rooms! Friendly staff. A step back into another time...

We loved our stay. We were in room 9 at the top of the main home. The room was spacious and the king poster bed (very romantic) had a great mattress. The omelets at breakfast were excellent. I liked the location out of the busy tourist area but still very accessible. We felt very welcomed. Highly recommend!!

Have been staying at the mansion for over a decade and this last trip left my wife and I pleased, as usual. It's always quite and spotless with friendly, accommodating staff.
Was surprised by a review I saw down below by "Autumn Dreams" as they stayed there the same time as us; it's crazy how different people can perceive the exact same things.
We recall the days when the breakfast buffet was the norm. While it was great to have unlimited breakfast, it's not true that it was quicker as sometimes you had to wait for a table to open up or they ran out of someone you wanted to eat. The way they've been doing breakfast the past 3 years or so is so much better! You choose a time slot for your breakfast- this ensures the dining room is never crowded and you don't have to wait for a table. You complete your menu the day before choosing "appetizers" of yogurt, fresh, v seasonal fruit and freshly baked pastry plate....or all 3. Then you choose an entree: eggs any style, omelet, French toast, hotcakes, plus your sides like sausage, bacon and homefries. The servers seat you then being your apps and not even 10 mins later your food comes up, hot and fresh. Drinks are buffet-style with all kinds of hot teas, coffees and fresh juices. They offer vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options as well, along with accommodating any other dietary requests guests have.
Considering every other bed and breakfast we've stayed at over the past 2 decades have no choice for breakfast but rather everyone got the exact same thing- these custom breakfast are amazing. To call them "diner food" is absolutely absurd! Who else serves a two-course breakfast!?
Buffets are way out of style! People want to reduce their personal waste and consumption. The mansion is just following suit with what the general public wants and being conscientious about the matter while saving themselves money by not wasting product and time. It's a wise business move.
The servers are amazing as well! They are extremely knowledgeable about the town and the mansion itself and super accommodating. There's a mother and her son that serve there and we'd literally go back there just for them. Not sure who Autumn was talking about but the servers are always dressed professionally in all black clothing, black aprons, etc; perhaps they mistook another fellow guest for staff.
Someone else mentioned the beach is 8 blocks away from the mansion but it's only 3. Walk to the mall, turn left and go 2 blocks to the beach. Not sure where they were walking to lol. But then again it's cape may and once you park at the mansion you won't need to move your car again.
As always another excellent trip to Southern Mansion and Cape May. Can't wait to go back near the holidays 🙂

Southern Mansion exceeded our expectations We loved our stay. We were in room 9 at the top of the main home. The room was spacious and the king poster bed (very romantic) had a great mattress. The omelets at breakfast were excellent. I liked the location out of the busy tourist area but still very accessible. We felt very welcomed. Highly recommend!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Short 10 min walk to Washington St shops and the beach. Gorgeous period rooms. Friendly, helpful staff. Enjoyed relaxing on the rocking chairs on the front porch. Lots of choices for breakfast
