    Gorgeous property and Inn.

    June 13, 2013

    I can't say enought about the Harrington House. We loved our stay and hope to be able to return more often. The accomodations are above and beyond beautiful and comfortable. The staff is so friendly and accomodating. The property right on the Gulf is breathtaking and I wish we were there right now to watch the sunset. I have recommended the Harrington House to friends and relatives. It truly feels like home.

    A real gem

    May 13, 2013

    This was a real find brought to our attention through the excellent nearby restaurant, The Beach Bistro, another true gem. Both carry our highest recommendations. We had a wonderful time at this place and will definitely return!

    10th Wedding Anniversary

    April 11, 2013

    A wondeful place to relax. My Wife and I got married here 10 yrs. ago. We stayed again in the Cottage . Looking out the patio doors at the Gazebo where we held the wedding sermony. Staff is very friendly, and the breakfast spoils one. Life slows down when around this place. Thanks for renewing memories. Thanks D. & D.

    A Perfect Spot

    April 08, 2013

    We return year after year to this perfect spot on Holmes Beach because we love the comfortable elegance, the competent friendly staff, the delicious, varied breakfast, and , of course the beautiful beach. There are many places close by to visit on the occasional less than perfect beach day. Also must mention the friends we,ve made who also return year after year.
