This is a very special property. Quaint, right on the water, owned and operated by John Orlando and wife. He is a very interesting host, lifetime resident and interesting to get to know. I highly recommend a stay here. Room was just right.

John welcomed us and was a remarkable host. We stayed in six different accomodations on this trip and this one was by far our favorite. The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Parking is free and convenient. John gave us a great dining recommendation which was within an easy 8-10 minute walk. We would love to stay here again. Thank you for being a great host.

WONDERFUL - We stayed at the Harborview for our granddaughters wedding. The staff (family run business) was great and our view was amazing. I would definitely recommend staying here. We truly enjoyed our brief visit.

We stayed here from Friday to Monday for a wedding we were in. The Inn keeper Sam and the Inn owner John, were more than welcoming when we got there. This place was so cozy and really made you feel like home.

We really like the location and view. We were able to walk to restaurants and the walkway across the street was beautiful for miles. I also really like the owners as they were so accommodating and helpful.

I loved our stay at Harborview Inn! Right on the water in Gloucester, beautiful views, easy to get to the train, and great rooms and service. John was a delight to talk to and very helpful with suggestions about the area. The only thing that could have made it better for me would be fruit at breakfast, but the pastries served were delicious. I would absolutely stay at Harborview again if I am ever in Gloucester!

We had a lovely stay here! The building and rooms are very cute and cozy. The decor is beautiful, especially in the dining room. The breakfast is a very good spread of assorted pastries. Scones, muffins, croissants, you name it! The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and nice to talk to! The room was very nice and they offer a welcome basket with snacks and waters. To top it all off we had a beautiful view of the water right from our window. We had such a great time staying here!

My wife always wanted to stay at a bed and breakfast. Check ...done. The place was fine but it was nothing wonderful. I dont like staying in someones home. However it was a nice home with all the original old charm, if u like that kinda thing. Felt like i was staying at my Grandpops house. The breakfast was fine and included some scones, cakes, coffee etc Hotel for us going forward.

I loved the property, it’s all so beautifully decorated and a lot of outdoor space. Sitting on the porch early in the morning and in the evening was so lovely to look out on the water. Go ahead and grab a coffee in the lovely in the Cape Ann room for breakfast and talk to John, the owner. John is a life-long local with a lot of interesting stories and don’t forget to give his sweet little doggo, Skipper some pets before heading out for the day. The location can’t be beat. I didn’t rent a car but the area is so walkable, just a 15 minute walk to Main street and is 5 mins from Pavilion beach. Breakfast is a nice continental layout with pastries, juice, coffee, and tea as nice snack to get you going.
