clean

noisy

Clean, quaint accommodations with a comfortable Queen Room featuring a cozy seating area, microwave, and refrigerator. The strong shower pressure boosts relaxation after a day by the beach.

Older property with small TVs, making it difficult for some to enjoy a movie night. Sound travels quite a bit between rooms, allowing for more noise disruption than expected during sleep. Limited office hours could add complications for late arrivals, with no breakfast options available nearby.

A cozy stay near the harbor

The Harbor Inn delivered a charming and clean experience. The staff was friendly, and it was conveniently located near several restaurants and the beach, making morning coffee by the waves a delight.

While overall pleasant, the TV was smaller than expected and the curtains didn’t block out much light, which made sleeping in a bit tricky at times.

charming inn

uncomfortable air conditioning

limited amenities

Charming inn with comfortable pillows and beds.

While the Harbor Inn has its appeal, my stay was marred by several issues. The inability to adjust the air conditioning left me feeling quite uncomfortable at night. Additionally, the quaintness of the inn sometimes felt like it was lacking essential amenities, and I often found myself a bit frustrated with the limited options for cooling down during warmer days.

The Queen Room with Private Bath was comfy with a cozy seating area, microwave, refrigerator, and a flat-screen TV. Awesome shower with free toiletries, nice towels, and a hairdryer! Super clean carpets and the staff was very welcoming. Loved the spa-like atmosphere. Perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach!

comfy pillows

noise issues

Charming decor really caught my eye, and the comfy pillows made it hard to leave the bed. Enjoyed a mini fridge and coffee maker in the Queen Room with Private Bath, making my stay feel more like home. The awesome shower and strong water pressure added to my relaxation. Only downside, Noise traveled between rooms, making it a bit hard to get sleep sometimes. Despite being a little pricey for the size, the warm atmosphere made up for it. A walk to the beach is just a few minutes away, which is a definite plus!
