Harbor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was good however I feel like the Tv needs to be a smart tv and the internet was awful. There is a short walk over the bridge to the beach and plenty of restaurants both ways. We loved sitting on the balcony watching all the water activities that folks were doing and I even seen some dolphins. You want be disappointed for the exception of the internet and no smart tv."
