I especially loved its little kitchen and living room, not to mention its proximity to both the ocean and the Washington Street Mall. If that doesn't convince you...just know that the beds are very comfortable! :) P.S. Since I stayed there in 2005, new owners have taken over, and they are not friendly at all. My dad emailed them for rates since we enjoyed it so much the first time, and he responded in a rude tone, almost as if he didn't want company. It's unfortunate, as I loved it so much back in 2005.

Wonderful Holiday Weekend…read more Just stayed at the Puffin Suites and we had great time. The Holly Suite was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The Suite has a fully stocked kitchenette which we took advantage of every morning. Our children loved the horse carriage rides. The Puffin is so close to the beach and shopping. We just loved the location. We will definitely be back this summer. Beth B Cocoa,FL

There's no front desk -- everything is handled by text -- but the staff was quick to respond and very helpful throughout our stay, even though we didn't have any issues. Our room (201) was large, clean, and nicely designed, with a full (albeit abbreviateD) kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and plenty of space to hang out. The balcony had a beautiful view of the sunset and was one of our favorite parts of the stay. One parking space is included and it's a very easy walk to either the beach or town for shopping or food. It's probably (definitely) on the higher end price-wise during the summer, but for a fall weekend, it was ideal: quiet, comfortable, and close to everything.

The rooms all have fun names and the free parking is also a perk. The rooms are large and modern. The decor is wonderful. They have a full kitchen, dishwasher, fridge and little oven. Each floor also has a washer and dryer that can be used for free. The porch has wonderful walking chairs. I also enjoyed the workout mats in room to continue exercise away from home. The heated salt water pool even in early May felt so nice. Wonderful relaxing atmosphere. The fire pits were also relaxing and easy to use. Lokal is steps away from the beach which is fantastic. Would love to visit during peak season to use the provided beach tags and service available. It is also close to many bars and restaurants that are walkable. We really enjoyed our stay here for the perfect Mom and Dad getaway!

I loved the early morning stroll on the Washington St Mall which must have been 2 blocks from the house. Coffee and a danish from the bakery was perfect. I walked another block and a half past the beautiful Victorian homes to the beach. The house has a second floor loft with a great theater set up with cable. The TV's on the first floor both had DVD player attached. The most fun was out on the porch, comfy furniture, very relaxing. The house was super clean including the bathrooms, so I would stay there again.

For those looking for vintage Victorian charm, you will be pleased with this property. The location cannot be beat, the entire historic district is a very short walk. The beach is not much farther. We stayed in the Renaissance room, a very comfy and roomy king. These were definitely two of the best night's sleep we've had in recent times! The breakfast service here is really excellent with several menu choices. They will also accommodate a range of custom requests (obviously within reason). The staff was great throughout our stay and everything is well thought out. One caveat here is the no parking on premises, there are however parking options close by. We were able to get free on street parking a short walk away. Loading and unloading at the property is also easy. Highly recommend!!

For starters, the Harrison/Pharos Inn does not have a front desk. When you show up for your stay,…read moreyou are not told where to park to unload. Eventually you get out and ring a bell. Someone that is working in the back (housekeeping or kitchen staff), comes to let you in and hands you the paperwork and a quick synopsis of your stay. There is no one to help you with your bags up to the 2nd or 3rd floors. One of the reasons that I chose the Harrison was for its location. For this reason I would give the Inn 3.5 stars rather than 3, but that is not an option. The location was perfect. Close to the center of town and the beach. One could park their car and walk or bike everywhere. However, the photos are misleading. I thought that I was booking a B&B with the old home charm, but one that was also impeccably updated. The rooms had white bedding which is similar to upscale hotels, however other parts of the room were subpar. The carpets need to be replaced. In the hallways and in our room they were filthy (stained and discolored all over). The bathroom shower was a prefabricated shower unit which was underwhelming for the price, but what was most annoying was that the shower regulator was loose and difficult to adjust. The water did not warm up for a few minutes and dripped while in the off position. The TV was small and too far away for the remote to work from the bed which is the only spot in the room that you would watch it from. Perhaps it needed batteries. I suspected this stay experience was going to be different than what I am accustomed to because I was contacted a few days prior to our stay exclusively via an AI messenger. Any questions that AI could not answer, the AI messenger had to escalate the question to the front desk (which did not exist at the inn). If you want to speak with a live person instead of going back and forth with the AI messenger, you have to call the number listed on the website. You are calling a general number. The Harrison/Pharos is a part of a conglomerate of many hotels in Cape May. You must listen to all of the options, and finally pick a number to punch to hopefully speak with a person. I chose housekeeping because there was not a front desk option. I called about how to work the TV because there were no instructions. The housekeeping person was not successful at helping over the phone. We were going out to dinner and after 8PM there is no one to help or stop by. We ended up figuring out some of the issues ourselves and then gave up. In addition, the network to get on the wifi was different than what was listed in the paperwork. Maybe as AI becomes more prevalent, people will become more accepting because we are forced to. In the future, I will make sure to avoid such places as long as I can. I have been to many B&Bs in the past and one of the perks is a fantastic breakfast. The breakfast was good, but not great. The afternoon tea was ok. The cake was dry. If I were eating at a restaurant, I would not go back. We paid for early entry to the room on the day we arrived. I was told that they could take our bags if we arrived early and the room was not ready. We chose to pay to get in two hours early. This is something new to me, but I did it anyway, If we had not, I do not know what they would have done with our bags. There was no one to help. For the amount of money that we paid for the room (about $600 per night after all fees), I expected more. I chose the place because of its location, old house charm, and what I thought was its clean, updated (not dingy) insides. The photos are misleading. Definitely not worth the price we paid. Even at a lower price point for the weekend of June 19th and 20th, much of my dissatisfaction would still be warranted.

We love the 931 Beach house! My moms cousin and her husband own this beautiful property and for a…read morewhile my grandmother actually managed it. It has been recently renovated and painted! Right across from the ocean, the historic building is on a street with cute victorian inns, and when you sit on the porch you can see down the row, or stare off into the waves as you breathe in the salty air! There's quite a bit to do in the area, including different trolley tours (we did the ghost one) which are a ton of fun! Plus an awesome outdoor shopping area with some great restaurants (such as The Blue Pig). I reccomend 931 Beach House to anyone looking for a historic building that's been well preserved with adding light modern touch. A beach town with cute shops and restaurants make this a great destination for couples and families alike, and being on the smaller side keeps the inn well maintained and makes you feel special when you stay. If you're heading to Cape May, definitely check out the 931 Beach House, you won't regret it!

The…read morebeautiful blue house is opposite the ocean and renting there I had the added convenience of easy parking - and access to beach chairs right under the house. The bedroom balcony was huge and beautiful, affording me a panoramic view of the ocean 24/7. At night I kept the balcony door open and fell asleep to the sound of the ocean roaring across the way. Everything I needed was inside the room - kitchenette, large shower, smart tv, lamps, extra lighting, and lots of towels. The innkeeper Liza is such a beautiful person and extended herself to me beyond what I expected. I wasn't sure how to get there and she offered to pick me up from the station - so sweet. I love her! I ended up driving in but it's the thought that counts. It's not every day that people offer things they don't have to do. The beach is clean and felt really private in October. I'm sure the summer is more packed, but it can't be that bad because Cape May itself is just beautiful. There are restaurants, clothes, souvenirs and so much more to do on that strip. I can't wait to go back there.
