Amazing Place!

The stay was great! I talked with the staff and it’s a family owned business and they’re doing an amazing job at upkeep and keeping the place up to date. No complaints at all. It’s also super close to greats restaurants, bars, and other walkable attractions. They also offer complimentary bikes to explore the area.

Just like an apartment!

What a nice surprise stumbling on the Harbor House Inn. Each casita is like a small apartment with a full kitchen and bathroom, walk in closet with a safe, robes, extra pillows, a seating area, and a clean and modern bathroom with plush towels and toiletries. Walking distance to the beach. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend staying here.

Great location close to everything

Hotel suite was nice. Studio apartment with good room. Sitting area while small, was fine but watching TV is mainly done on the bed. Full kitchen and coffee maker with coffee was great. Daily room cleaning if requested. Bed was very comfortable and I would stay there again. Location was ideal for quick walks to the beach or 10 minute walk to restaurants in the area 10/10.
