Harborview Inn is a cozy, well-located B&B with a very friendly and helpful owner. John quickly took care of a minor problem (stuck closet door) as soon as we mentioned it to him. Breakfast is generous and the baked goods of good quality. Our room was a good size, with a microwave and mini-fridge, and a comfortable bed. We would definitely return.

Wonderful location and sparkling property. John Orlando, the owner, was welcoming and attentive. The room was comfortable with great lighting and the Continental breakfast was good. The only thing missing was a full length mirror: maybe one could be mounted on the bathroom door? All in all however, a great stay.
