The Harbor House

The Harbor House provides safe and comfortable budget accommodations for travelers, visitors, and tourists coming to New York City. Built circa. 1890 on the New York harbor at Penny Beach, Staten Island, the Inn is convenient to all major airports and is only a half an hour from the Metropolitan center. From its vantage site, the Inn commands an unobstructed sweeping panorama of the New York City skyline, the New York Harbor, Brooklyn, the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge, and far out into the Atlantic Ocean.

A master's touch is revealed in the details -- a little bit elegant and a lot casual with a nod to the past. Relax in ocean breezes as you enjoy the harmony of the sea, the bustle of the harbor, and the incredible New York skyline; all framed by extra large picture windows. Besides the million and one things to do in New York City like: do business, shop, see a play, visit the museum, the Opera, the Statue of Liberty, SoHo, etc., etc., there are plenty of other activities to keep you busy: fish with the local fishermen on the beach, play golf at one of three public courses, tennis at nearby courts, go to a beach, paddle in clove lakes park, canoe in the harbor (kayak landing across the street; bring your own), cycle around the city, hike through the greenbelt, bowl at a local bowling alley, go to one of many cultural activities at Snug Harbor, or attend a Victorian Style tea party next door at the historic Alice Austen House Museum. Or, simply just enjoy the special kind of laid-back easy living that is inspired in this unspoiled piece of country within the city. And when you turn-in for the evening as the city lights come up, you'd enjoy from the privacy of your room some of the most mesmerizing picturesque sceneries of New York City, while fresh gentle ocean breezes and the roll of the waves lull you into a peaceful slumber.

On arrival, you're greeted with warmth and friendliness and the voice of experience to guide you. Complimentary wine/coffee greet you in sun-filled rooms decorated with fresh flowers and mixtures of simple furniture that evoke a light-hearted mood of a nostalgic past. We never forget that perhaps these are the rooms in which you'll plan your next move, welcome friends, or celebrate an occasion. So take a few simple steps to arrive at a beautiful comfortable, livable conclusion.
