Our stay at the Harris house was very nice. I find myself picky with smells and cleanliness. I had zero complaints. Excellent position right off the boardwalk. Staff was genuine and friendly. Showers were perfectly clean. Beds were very clean. Simple rooms which is all you need. Very impressed.

We enjoyed our stay at the Harris House. It's in a great location and is very clean. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel for the rate. My only complaint was that the beds seemed worn in and were not comfortable resulting in restless sleep, however the beds may be okay for someone else. We enjoyed the beach, boardwalk and all the amenities!

Solid Location, Enjoyable Stay

Pristine location, 20ft from the boardwalk / beach. Pool was excellent; well kept and heated. Rooms were a bit small, but you don't spend much time there anyway, right? Overall recommend and probably will revisit 👍
