The Harbor House

At the Harbor House we'd like to offer you that spot-an alternative to crowds, noise and high prices of Manhattan hotels. Built circa. 1890 on the New York harbor at Penny Beach, Staten Island; the Harbor House Bed & Breakfast provides the best of both worlds. Harbor House is convenient to all major airports and is only a half and hour from the heart of Downtown Manhattan by car or by public transit. Yet despite the close proximity to all the marvels of the city that never sleeps, we are pleased to retain a quiet, relaxing atmosphere of escape where you can enjoy the special kind of laid-back easy living that is inspired in this unspoiled piece of country within the city. We at Harbor House are especially proud of the gentle, friendly atmosphere we provide in a charmingly appointed home. A master's touch is revealed in the details--a little bit elegant and a cheery dose of casual with a warmth, nostalgic not to the past. On arrival, you are greeted with warmth and friendliness and the voice of experience to guide in your exploration of New York City. Complimentary beverages greet you in sun-filled rooms decorated with mixtures of simple furniture that evoke the light-hearted mood of a simpler time.

There are pros and cons on the Harbor House, but every Hotel or Bed & Breakfast has some. Pro's 1.) The view from the picturesque Harbor House is fantastic; to your right is the Verrazano Bridge, which at night is beautifully lit up. Swinging... read more

My husband, girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights. The view is incredible as the inn is right on the harbor. The inn is one block from the bus stop, which takes you right to the ferry station. Also two blocks away is a cozy bar (the Rosedale... read more

I very much enjoyed my stay at Harbor House. It was wonderful waking up to see the sun rising between the towers of the bridge, and sitting outside on the front porch drinking my coffee while the boats went by. A very cozy, friendly place and a... read more

Review The Harbor House, Staten Island, NY

Photo Album

Unexpected charms lurk around every corner. At this stairway landing, your gaze is directed toward the many original works of art adorning the walls and bathed by natural light from the window above. Bed-sitter is the breezy British phrase for a bedroom/sitting room combination-a private refuge full of favourite things to enjoy from morning to night. Plump, lace-edged pillows against a wrought iron king bed hold center stage in this suite. Classic mouldings add graceful outlines to the Victorian setting. A sofabed next to the fireplace in the sitting nook is completed by a charming dining table for four. Views of the New York City skyline and the harbor enhance the cozy setting.
Another English-inspired haven, this airy country bedroom centers on a wrought-iron canopy bed, draped in lace with quilted chintz and plump with pillows. The adjoining sitting nook is framed by extra large picture windows providing wraparound views of New York Harbor and New York City Skyline.
