The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive and the property itself is beautiful! The breakfast is always delicious, and the after noon tea with fresh baked pastries is such a treat. This is our second stay and we already can’t wait to come back.

The Harrison provided the perfect Cape May experience. The staff was so sweet and accommodating to ensure we had everything we needed. The room was beautiful and the entire bed and breakfast was absolutely charming with a fireplace on and desserts/drinks out every evening to relax with. The location was ideal and just a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Would love an opportunity to come back every year. My boyfriend and I fondly remember our stay there.

An awesome B&B

The Harrison is an awesome B&B. Wonderful staff, clean and stylish room, location is close to lots of Cape May favorites. Afternoon tea is a great touch and breakfast is top notch. We sat on the porch and read and relaxed a few times. Highly recommend!
