"My husband and I came to stay here for our honeymoon and we were so happy. Mickey, who checked us in at the front desk, was delightful! We got upgraded to a room with a patio (I don’t even think they knew it was our honeymoon, so that felt really lucky) and everything was clean and lovely. There was a full kitchen and full size refrigerator, a desk, robes, champagne glasses and an ice bucket, and a TV with a DVD player. This place has free dvd and bicycle rentals from the sister property next door, and we used both! We loved taking the bikes around town. They were all in good condition and had baskets on the front. I also loved the free breakfast in the morning and wine and cheese happy hour in the evenings. We felt right at home, and we would absolutely come back here again in the future. I forgot to mention that it’s VERY close to the ocean. On our first night, we did a full moon walk by the beach all the way down to the end of the wharf and had a romantic time snuggling and listening to seals barking. We spoke to a few people around town and when we mentioned Inn by the Harbor, everyone’s reaction was “that’s a lovely place to stay!” and we couldn’t agree more. Thank you Mickey and team!!"
