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.

This B&B sits in the heart of town, with water views and a stones throw away from the Boston Yaught Club. You can walk to your nearby locations for eating or sight-seeing. Our host has been there so long that she has made wonderful contacts for your convenience. The breakfast is delightful along with Susan.
A wonderful, relaxing stay.

The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and substantial. Susan was wonderful about pointing us in the direction of where to eat and what to see. She even provided printed driving directions to help us reach various locations. Her home is charming and in a quiet, lovely location. We wish we could have spent more time there. We both highly recommend Harborside House.
