    We really enjoyed our stay at Harris House and we especially loved the location...right off the boardwalk at 12th Street! Our room was spotlessly clean and seemed to be recently updated (the room smelled like new carpeting and looked really fresh). The room had a flat screen t.v., microwave oven and fairly large refrigerator (not a full size, but bigger than a cube fridge) which included a small freezer. It's not a fancy hotel by any means, but we felt it was nice for the amount we paid. I found all of the staff to be welcoming and friendly, with warm smiles, and they kindly let us leave our car in their lot for a few hours after we checked out. That was much appreciated! The pool was heated, but we didn't use it as it was very chilly and windy during our visit. Note...the pool is not heated a LOT. It's still cool, but it's not freezing. There were only 2 things we did not like. The mattresses seemed low quality and were somewhat uncomfortable. Also, the walls are thin and we could hear everything in the next room. This was especially annoying because the family in the next room had noisy, bratty kids. All things considered, we really enjoyed our stay and would gladly visit again. UPDATE: May, 2018: We stayed again and we liked it even better this time! I added another star. We had a new mattress which was very comfortable (I think they replaced all the mattresses in the hotel) and the bedding was updated and the room was even nicer than before. The people that run this hotel are so nice and accommodating. I had to change our reservation and they made it very easy for me. We will definitely stay again.

    Clean rooms!!!!! Very friendly staff!! They let us check in early. Around 11:00 am. You can also stay and use the pool after you check out. Nice size pool. Flat screen TV's in the rooms. The location is great right next to the boardwalk. We would definitely stay here again.

    See all

    I really dislike leaving a negative review as there are several nice things about the hotel…read more However, everything I am writing below, I told directly to the hotel. Booking this hotel was a nightmare. I called to get a rate and ask questions. I called 4x and no one picked up. Out of desperation, I finally sent an email. I got a call the next day with a rate. However, when I tried to book that rate online, it was different. So, now I am trying to call the hotel again. Again, called 3x and no one picks up so I leave a message. I get a returned call and am told the online booking "includes a resort fee, but we can put that back on your credit card or I can take your card over the phone with the lower rate." I opted to pay over the phone (for the record, it's one of those hotels that charges you for using a credit card.). I was told to call the day before our arrival and advise when I'd like to check in because they would try to accommodate. This is a nice gesture and I appreciate it, but it's not nice when you call and guess what? No one picks up! We called the morning of our arrival and they did accommodate an early check in which was nice. You should know that you check in in 1 building and walk to another where you are actually staying. There is no security. Anyone can walk into the hotel (no lobby). You are literally walking into a hall with an elevator and there are no safeguards like needing a room key to make the elevator work. (They use old fashioned keys.) Room was cheerful, clean and looked like the photos. Our bathroom had a window that the view was a hallway. You had to put a screen down or people walking bay could see into your bathroom/shower. Odd. I would also say the walls are very thin. You can hear everyone and anyone walking past your door, etc. We went to OC for First Night and spend NYE having a wonderful time there, but when got back at midnight, there was no hot water. None. We were all freezing and none of us could take a shower. Sadly, I called the "front desk" and surprise! No one picked up. I called 3x. When I checked out, they said "The envelope with the keys had an emergency phone number on it. You should have called that. This makes no sense. The info on the phone in the room gives you a front desk number. I explained my frustration. The desk person said he'd try to get some compensation. 2 days later I got an email that $30 was taken off the room. I called to confirm this was for the lack of hot water. The same man who was at check out is who I spoke to. "I was able to discount the room rate, but I need to discuss with the owners anything else. I will call you on Tuesday and let you know what happens." Today is Wednesday and never heard from them. I am rating them "poor" because they never followed up. I had no expectations about further compensation, but please please please don't say you will follow and then not do so. Poor form.

    New Ownership -Worst Stay EVER in 21 years of staying!…read moreTahiti Inn apartments (now called Ocean's Edge Luxury Apartments) are FAR from LUXURY. Still part of the Inn, but new name and false advertising. We have been coming here for 21 years - and this year we stayed in June AND July. our stay in June was the first under new management. Our "luxury" apartment, in which we have stayed in every year for two decades... was recently remodeled. We knew there had been a remodel and new management and were willing to pay the immense price hike. We were looking forward to seeing the updates, only to find: We requested and paid for a large apartment (advertised) and received a small apartment. When questioned, we were told it is the same square footage. But Apartment #11 (for anyone checking in) has a MICRO - kitchen and it is not the same. - Our apartment was unfinished. Sheetrock dust everywhere. No furniture, other than three beds and a couch, two lamps. - The windows were not covered. Curtains laying in closest on the floor. The curtain hooks were hung with weak hardware, and were falling off the wall. (pics below.) We requested they be fixed for privacy. This was never resolved. - No dresser or stand for any suitcases. - TV's did not work, and no help came to fix this when we requested assistance. - TV internet did not work. Still no assistance. - No blow drier. - We purchased groceries for our stay, to wake up the next morning to find the refrigerator was not working. They replaced this for us. - Kitchen area had no place to plug in toaster. We had to use the bedroom floor (only outlet with remodel) to make toast. - No broom, dustpan (OCEAN=SAND) - And management is only on site periodically. Staff cannot assist unless with permission of management. - Water dripping from light in bathroom. - Hot water only in one bathroom shower at a time. - One roll toilet paper per bathroom. - Four towels between two bathrooms. - No cleaning service provided unless asked, and we had to find a random broom/dustpan, garbage bags, and never received a blow drier, even after requesting twice.(Every hotel big and small, has a blow drier.) - Mold on patio walls. - Staff sat outside apartments in chairs while our family exited and entered doors, - Ladders and hoses everywhere. Little kids trying to climb and use. - No ice machine. - No sand rinse station anymore. All sand comes back to your room with you. - Pool was closed off and on for repairs. - Occupants repeatedly smoking on our patio. Reservation clearly states NO smoking premise. - Management we dealt with was rude and impersonal. - We took a few photos to show management upon check-in, with concern of being charged for damage. - The remodel is an upgrade as far as "appearance," in the apartments, but other than that - after 21 years, we won't be returning unless there is new management, acknowledgement of the issues, and major improvements and follow up sent. This was in June/July 2025. All of the provisions listed on website were false. If you choose to book at the Tahiti Inn apartments (now Ocean's Edge Luxury Apartments,) pack everything you need from home, because you will not find it here. We really miss the outstanding service and care from previous owners.

    3 stars for a solid location close to the boardwalk and beach, but like other reviews said the…read moreproperty is dated and we were given some wrong info on pricing by staff. My mom and I just needed a place to sleep and shower for a weekend trip so this was fine for us. The pool area is 1960s tiki themed which was actually pretty cool to see and if they fully embraced this theme and updated a few features (bathrooms in particular) it could be a real gem. Beds were fine and there was a working TV. Basics but that's all we needed. Location wise it was perfect for us as it was just a 10 min or less walk to the boardwalk. Parking is first come first serve for the good spots. We didn't have too bad of a time but got in late Friday night thanks to Philly traffic and had to take the last spot available, by the bike racks. We had to move a few bikes to avoid hitting them. If you park by the Jilly's Arcade make sure you park on the LEFT facing the hotel. They had parking spots marked for the arcade and will tow/charge you if you accidently park there. Staff were friendly but we called ahead of time for a late check in, were told the office was open till 10pm, but then received a call at 9pm asking when we were going to arrive. Luckily we were only 10 min away but if your hours are until 10pm and we called earlier with our ETA why did we get another call asking out arrival time? Lack of communication I think. Also watch their "Specials" on the website for pricing. It doesn't include the NJ taxes. We called for the $88 a night special and after taxes ended up being $130 a night. We asked about the increase and were just told "We don't always update the website prices..." So CALL and ask for an ENTIRE price (rate + taxes) for your stay and ask if a special is still available. I believe the hotel is for sale as we saw a manager, a relator and 2 business looking people going in and out of rooms (that were hopefully unoccupied as it was a no vacancy when we were there) taking photos. I overheard the manager explaining features and mechanical/staff rooms so it's probably going to change hands soon. Overall solid place with the essentials, close to the board walk for a nice weekend trip. Just double check your bill that your rate is correct.

Each unit has different owners managed by 1 on-site agent who caters to the owners, not the tenants. Inspect your unit before you sign the lease and at check-in. If a hurricane renders your beach week useless the realtor will attempt to collect your unpaid balance and NEVER will you be refunded for catastrophic weather that prevents you from using your full week, while just across the street, the Ocean 7 will GLADLY refund you for unused days even after you've checked in. Promised improvements were not made between rental years which I only discovered after the long ride here. The common facilities are very clean but there is absolutely no privacy and it gets noisy. The good points: Location is 10 out of 10, 3 steps from the heart of the boardwalk, bike rental & beach. The common facilities are very well maintained, including an outdoor heated pool and 1 hot tub, a group sundeck. Each unit facing the sundeck has outdoor table and chairs. My unit has a kitchen/livingroom combo with working dishwasher. There are laundry facilities on site and 1 ice-machine. My unit is always clean enough at check-in & the softwater pressure in the shower is strong enough. Needs improvement badly: Needs to be renovated; mattresses have rot, bunk beds are peeling onto the face of person sleeping on bottom. Pillows are lumpy & gross & blankets were stained and torn. The livingroom futon (counts as a 2 person sleeper...) is uncomfortable and not clean. TVs are tiny & antiquated, some remotes were missing. Cable service is cheap bare bones: 3 networks, CNN & antennae TV. Parking: You get one shady off-street space per unit large enough for a sedan or compact car. Inevitably there's always an idiot with a large truck crammed in & parked so close to me over the line that I cannot open the door to my car at all. Very discourteous. I had to take photos to ensure that the truck didn't dent my car. You have to bring every single thing you need for a week with you, including toilet paper, pillows, sheets, blankets, trash bags, paper towels, cleaning products, etc., so come prepared. After a very long ride to get here, there wasn't even a square of t-paper when I arrived; a little courtesy would go a long way...
