My stay at the Harbor House Inn was a good experience overall, highlighted by comfortable accommodations and really good hospitality. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach and a variety of restaurants. I did encounter a minor issue with room size; I had booked a queen bed but was given a full size, which affected my sleep. However, the cleanliness and charm of the place made up for it, leaving me eager to return someday.
