When is the best time to go to Harbour Island?

The best time to visit Harbour Island is during the shoulder seasons of May, early June, and September to October. These months offer a pleasant balance of good weather, fewer crowds, and often more attractive rates for accommodation and activities. You'll find the temperatures warm and comfortable, superb for enjoying the island's outdoor offerings without the intense heat and humidity of mid-summer or the higher prices of the peak winter season. For those looking for a quieter, more relaxed experience, May and October are particularly good. The island feels less busy, allowing for more serene beach days and easier access to popular restaurants. It's an excellent time for couples seeking a peaceful escape with beautiful weather. If you're planning a trip around specific events or a livelier atmosphere, early June and September still offer great weather but with a bit more activity as the island transitions into or out of its busiest periods.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Harbour Island hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Harbour Island hotel?

Newport Beach Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"It's an older property in a good location."

Quality Inn & Suites Middletown - Newport

8/10 Good

"The property is very large. Having one washer and dryer for a property that size is not understandable. Front desk needs to have plenty of quarters for the use of the washer/dryer.Most of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast choices were varied and a good selection. The elevator smelled greatly of mold/mildew. The size of our room was great especially w the “punch out” of the wall. The bed was comfortable. I would stay again."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area

8/10 Good

"We stayed at the Howard Johnson in Middletown for a week with our two daughters, and my husband joined us for one night. It was a mixed experience. We checked in late and found a grease stain on the headboard, coffee stains on the desk, fingerprints on the door, a sticky spot on the carpet, and leftover food in the refrigerator. The shower would only drain if we removed the top of the drain. I told the housekeeping manager the next day, but they didn’t seem very concerned. On a cold day, I turned on the heat and the smoke alarms went off, so the heating system needs attention. The overnight front desk employee was very helpful, and the support staff brought us things we needed, including a crib, quickly. They helped keep us comfortable throughout the week. Parking was plentiful, with convenient spots for bringing luggage to the room, and having an Applebee’s connected to the building was handy. The outdoor area was nice. We used the small pool once, but the water looked murky, so we didn’t go back. The room didn’t smell bad, but it wasn’t clean enough for a stay costing about $400 a night. There were some helpful people and conveniences, but overall, I probably wouldn’t stay here again."
