From the reviews
Just finished a weeks' stay at the lovely Harbour Cottage Inn. I can say without hesitation that it is the most charming, wonderful BnB experience I've ever had; Dora and Daniel elevate the typical BnB stay to an art form.
We did not stay at the end, but stopped by to have a beverage. What a great little spot to enjoy some downtime. We had amazing margaritas and were able to go outside and play games on their front lawn. It was just a nice chill location and time spent with friends.
Getting married at Harbour Cottage Inn
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
