The Harrison Group does a lot of things and covers a lot of ground. Our business can be described in many, many, many ways. With that said, each employee specializes in different parts in the spectrum that is the Harrison Group. But simply put, we are in the business of making people feel welcomed and comfortable. Hospitality. That one word, for us, is top priority and when we do that, everything else falls into place. From the maids, to the painters, to the bellman, to the hotel managers, we all strive to be hospitable. But, there is one employee who shines a warmth and generosity that cannot be taught.
Ms. Hospitality herself, Director of Group Sales, Ruth Waters.
Ruth has been welcoming guests to Ocean City, MD for 30 years now. ‘Living the dream,’ as she puts it. With a deep love for Ocean City, Ruth goes to great lengths planning group trips and coordinating accommodations, dining, events and tour options for all her guests. And like all good hosts, she wants you to love and feel at home in her home. When guests come to town, she’s physically there to welcome them with a smile and a hand with their luggage. This past summer the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight team stayed at one of our oceanfront hotels coordinated through Ruth. A team that stays at many hotels in many places. Their stay here was so enjoyable that their Flight Leader personally wrote her a thank you letter. When you’re getting fan mail from the U.S. Navy Blue Angles you know you’re doing something right. Ruth Waters truly is ‘Ms. Hospitality’ and we are so grateful to have her on our team.
So the next time you’re thinking of a group trip to Ocean City, MD please reach out to Ruth and her Group Sales team: 1-800-399-6820 or

When living in and around the coast certain things stand out in certain summers and you begin to remember those summers because of those certain things. Say for instance, in 2001 there was a wonderful sandbar off of 28th street. You could swim pretty far out into the Atlantic Ocean and then stand up on the bar and just hang out. Float around, fish from it and when you felt like it, body surf a wave back into the beach. It was pretty great. In 2007 there was a major upwelling of the ...read more
As a kid you want to fly. Then you grow up and, well, you still want to fly. We all want to fly. To defy gravity. To feel that weightlessness of flight and thrust ourselves towards the sky and to belong among the creatures that own it. Flight is bringing science, imagination and crazy together to create nothing short of magic. It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… the Ocean City, Maryland Airshow! This weekend, if you’re in town, make sure to look to the sky, because there will be ...read more
Crazy picture huh? What a winter. Winter 2015 was not joking around, it seemed as though it would never end and when the snow kept falling well into March we started to believe that it really wouldn’t. But, alas, Spring has sprung and shined her wonderful warm rays all across The Shore and Ocean City, Maryland. Hibernation is over! And it is time to Jump! Burst Forth! Rise! It’s time to open those windows and let that wonderful fresh, crisp Spring air in and put the Winter of ...read more
It’s that time of the year when it is simply too cold to enjoy an afternoon stroll on the beach. The Ocean City winds whipping off the frigid Atlantic make it hard to enjoy all the nature that the area has to offer. If you’re still craving some nature thrills, there’s one way to get your fix while escaping winter’s chills.
The Nautical & Wildlife Art Festival and Craft Show is one of the years first major events in Ocean City and is sure to be a delight for anyone looking ...read more
It’s not quite winter yet. There’s been a few cold days thus far down here on the shore but nothing quite as harsh as last year. And who’s got time for it anyways? With Christmas right around the corner who’s got time for anything, let alone the weather? We’ve got shopping to do, eggnog to drink and Christmas cards to send! (We hope you received the Harrison Group’s card by the way)
With so much to do it’s hard to slow down and find time nowadays. The photo above goes ...read more
Each year in Ocean City, when the crowds die down and the winter breeze sweeps off the ocean onto the vacant beach, something magical happens. As darkness rolls in and we witness the last breath of sun fade away until the morning light, Ocean City’s Winterfest of Lights illuminates the town.

This upcoming Monday, is, THE BIG ONE. Before the sun begins to peak its rays above the horizon, before the rooster crows or the hound howls, and most likely, even before your first cup of coffee, anglers will have set out from Harbour Island, Ocean City on an adventure: An adventure for treasure. For these adventurers, like it has been for many years, the treasure they seek lies beneath the sea. But it is not gold or relics of old, it’s the creatures that live within it. The White ...read more
All year we wait for the big day. For whatever the reason may be. Wishes and hopes and planning and shopping and tradition. Wishes that it be white, wishes to see loved ones, hopes that, even though we’re late, we can still find a seat in church. Planning that Santa visits and we finally receive that go-cart that we’ve circled in the Sears & Roebuck catalogue since we were five. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year and Christmas receives all the attention that it ...read more
