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.

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.
