Experience the Pinnacle of Coastal Living at Harbour House

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"This house was recently gutted and renovated. The attention to detail is outstanding. Perfect location for walking to many restaurants and shops. The did a great job of maintaining some seclusion while on the property. We had trouble getting the HVAC to behave and the owner came out himself within a couple hours to solve the problem. Highly recommend if staying in this area. Within yards of beach, coffee, distillery, seafood and Italian food. Not sure what more you need. "

"The weather was rainy and windy, but I couldn’t think of a better place to stay and enjoy the coast! The radiant heated floors, fireplace, deep soak bathtub, loft with 180 degree views, and well equipped kitchen made our stay wonderful in so many ways. We are thankful, and look forward to coming back again. "
