Harbour View was a very nice place. All of the rooms were large. Location was fantastic. A bit difficult to find… they are above the Chocolate store which is phenomenal.I had a lot of difficulty contacting the host… the VRBO box to message the host went to the local booking company not the host. I messaged them many times but the replies were not good. They finally sent the phone number for the host.
