Having originally booked and prepaid ( more than dearly) another hotel (Island Inn) which turned out to be unacceptable, we looked for something else. We were very lucky to stumble upon the Harborside Motel. The room was spacious, clean, pleasant, nicely furnished with two easy chairs and a table, two beds with clean linens, and of course clean towels in... more

I had a good stay here. It’s a decent property, clean, great location and the staff was good too! more

Our first time to stay at Harborside Motel and our fourth trip to the island. The motel was excellent and extremely clean. Staff very friendly and accomodating. The motel's pier is excellent for a sunset or an early moring cup of coffee . We will be back! more

The people who run the place - Corky, Sue, Cindy, Ruth, and friends - are some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. The 18 rooms are clean and nicely kept, with sitting chairs outside. There's something... more

A spotlessly clean downtown motel across the road from the harbor. We had all new appliances in our efficiency and even though it is across the street we could still see the water from our second floor balcony. They have a private harborfront sun deck which their patrons are free to use. The check in staff were very friendly and... more
