Fodor's Expert Review Harbor View Hotel and Resort

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

The centerpiece of this historic hotel is a gray-shingled, 1891 Victorian building with wraparound veranda and a gazebo. Accommodations are also in a complex of nearby buildings in a residential neighborhood. The contemporary townhouses have cathedral ceilings, decks, kitchens, and large living areas with sofa beds. Rooms in other buildings are laid out like upscale motor-lodge units, but have the same fine decor and plush in-room amenities. A beach, good for walking, stretches ¾-mile from the hotel's dock; there's also a large outdoor pool. The extensive children's summer program has a full roster of activities for kids; also offered are yoga and fitness classes, as well as lawn games for the whole family.
