We couldn't have been happier with our choice to stay at Harris House. Besides the fact that it's a 30 second walk from the boardwalk, the staff from the front desk to maintenance is friendly and helpful, the property is well-maintained and clean, and the area is surprisingly quiet considering the location. There are a couple of changing rooms near reception that we were able to use even before we checked in (we arrived at 11:30am) so we could go straight down to the beach. Beach tags are included with the room. Parking is free and abundant. The rooms were very well kept for a beachside motel where you would expect a lot of wear and tear. The beds were comfortable enough. Pillows were maybe overly soft but there were more than enough so we could double them up. Water in the shower and sink was very hot. No coffee maker in the room, but plenty of coffee shops in the area. Kudos to Holiday for serving La Colombe. Over all, five stars and we would absolutely stay at Harris House again. Many thanks to the owners and staff for a pleasant stay.

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 👍
