The location was perfect. Easy walk to main street and the harbor walk was just across the street. Easy drive to the Hammond Castle. Bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was small, but fine. The continental breakfast was very nice. John the owner was very attentive and kind. Thanks for the lovely stay.

Great time @ the Harborview Inn

WONDERFUL - We stayed at the Harborview for our granddaughters wedding. The staff (family run business) was great and our view was amazing. I would definitely recommend staying here. We truly enjoyed our brief visit.

Great stay

This is a very special property. Quaint, right on the water, owned and operated by John Orlando and wife. He is a very interesting host, lifetime resident and interesting to get to know. I highly recommend a stay here. Room was just right.
