Harbor View Hotel

Harbor View Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Property was Beautiful. Only downside was there is no Elevator in the area we stayed which was a pain being on 3rd floor with a baby/carrage etc. My fault for not checking ahead of time but other than that the place was great. Close walking distance to downtown Edgartown. Staff was very friendly and accomodating."
