Good location and easy access to beach and boardwalk.

We enjoyed our stay at Harper Haven. The location is perfect and within walking distance to the boardwalk and beach. The property was clean and well stocked with everything you need for a home away from home. Only downside was the parking. The parking in front of the property is used as public parking as well. This was at times frustrating if you left and came back to no parking spaces. Otherwise great stay!
