September 28, 2012
I'm a solo traveler and I stayed here for one night on my New England Road Trip in September. I stayed in the single room upstairs. What really made this inn so great was the owner, Susan. When I arrived she was working in her garden, but gladly stopped what she was doing to help me carry my bags upstairs to my room and show me around. She recommended a wonderful walk along the water, (which I took) and a great place to eat dinner. It was truly her attention to details that made my one-night stay so welcoming - the mint in the small bowl by my bed, the journal that she encouraged guests to write in, the copious amounts of toiletries available for guest use. The breakfast the next morning was just perfect - a selection of fruit, cheeses and bread accompanied with coffee and juice. Basically, I felt like I was staying at my cool Aunt's house for the night.

From the moment I saw the house I stayed in for 4 nights I fell in love with it. The exterior and interior details were lovely and charming. Everything was there and everything fitted the house and the guest. I was transported into a dream house.

Looking out from the porch & seeing the harbor full of boats -- coming & going all day long is a breathtaking experience. No need to go far to have a great vacation.

The best thing about Harborside House is the Innkeeper, Susan Livingston......She is an elegant and charming woman..........attentive, but not intrusive. My visit was in cold December and I felt warm and comfy.......(beds are wonderful) There is a lovely view of the harbor.............and one is able to explore the charming shops of "old town" by foot.
