The Spotlight on Harris House by the Beach

Beachy Comfort Just Steps from the Ocean City Boardwalk


Relaxed and welcoming, Harris House by the Beach offers a classic beach motel vibe in the heart of Ocean City, NJ. Located just 197 feet from the Boardwalk and beach, this laid-back stay is ideal for visitors wanting a mix of sun, sea, and live entertainment. Each room includes a seating area, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries and a hair dryer. With a 24-hour front desk, free parking spot per room, and free beach passes, it’s a no-fuss home base for concert nights and beach days alike.

Why Concert-goers love it


Location is everything, and Harris House is just a short walk from Ocean City’s entertainment hotspots. Whether you're catching a live show at the Music Pier or heading to nearby venues in Atlantic City (just 16 miles away), it’s a smooth trip back to your room. The hotel offers a quiet atmosphere for unwinding after the encore, plus flexible 24-hour front desk service to help with late arrivals or early exits.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want beach access and concert proximity
  • Solo travelers chasing that dream live performance
  • Couples making a romantic weekend out of a show
  • Fans needing a peaceful post-concert recovery
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value and location

Food and Drink Options


While Harris House doesn’t offer on-site dining, the Boardwalk's many eateries are just steps away. Grab a slice of pizza or a funnel cake after the show, or enjoy a morning coffee at one of the nearby cafes – perfect for late risers after a night out. Several restaurants offer takeout and delivery, so you can bring your midnight snack back to your room.

Nightlife Options


Live music, bars, and lounges are all within walking or short driving distance. Ocean City’s nightlife is more laid-back than Atlantic City, but if you’re up for a quick trip, AC’s casinos and music venues are easily accessible. After the show, return to Harris House for a quieter end to the night.

What People Say

  • Guests rave about the location right near the Boardwalk and beach
  • Cleanliness and friendly, helpful staff are frequently praised
  • Free parking and beach passes are a hit with value-conscious travelers
  • Travelers love the easygoing, chill vibe after a big night out

Areas for Improvement


Some guests mention that the rooms are a bit dated in style, but most agree they’re clean and comfortable. Noise from the Boardwalk can occasionally carry over, but that’s part of the charm of staying so close to the action.

The Bottom Line


Harris House by the Beach is a relaxed, budget-friendly option for concert-goers wanting to stay near the Boardwalk while enjoying a peaceful place to crash after the show.

Very good

Liked: Very close to the beach; location is topnotch especially for a family with a small baby. I guess that's what you pay for the $$$ price.
Disliked: The hotel itself, including all the furniture, appliances, crib, toilet bowl, everything (lol) have older styles. The headboards are very hard (plain wood) which hurt our heads a couple of times.

We had a wonderful time....

Liked: The location was excellent. It was easy to get to the beach and the boardwalk. Having a guaranteed place to park was also great!
Disliked: The a/c did not work very well. The room was hard to cool.

Best Beach Hotel Experience in...

Liked: Harris House was one of the best beach stays I've ever had! This property is right behind the board walk, has beach tags for the patrons, free parking, and a pool! Additionally, after I checked out they still let us use the beach tags and use the outdoor amenities. This was the perfect place to stay! Oh and the hotel room was spotless and up to date!
Disliked: Nothing!
