    Stayed in the Emerald Room; unbelievable. A bit pricy for January, but the view was exceptional, the staff were friendly, food was wonderful, room was comfortable. Would definitely go back again. We were fortunate that the weather was gorgeous for January, and we sat out a lot on the deck just looking and watching birds, etc.

    We stayed at the Harborlight during the Thanksgiving holiday. We could not have been more pleased! The ambience, delicious breakfast and superb service added up to a great time away. We will be looking forward to visiting again during the summer months.

    Making a reservation by internet from abroad, you never know what you will find, but Harborlight Guest House exceeded our expectations. One day, we hope to cross the Atlantic and be here again. - H&P from Switzerland
