This is the only authentic B&B, with the owners living on-site, on Harbour Island. The setting is a pink-sided clapboard house that was built between 1798 and 1800 by the island's first justice of the peace, Dr. Johnson. In 1999, Denver-born owners John and Joni Hersh bought a 1950s-era house next door for future expansions. Midsize rooms are artfully old-fashioned, low-key, and comfortable, and they are usually accessible via gracious verandas that wrap around the upper and lower floors. Bathrooms are tiled and beautifully maintained, and come with shower stalls. Everything shows a personal touch here, including the beautiful gardens. The beach is a 5-minute walk away, and the house's living room has satellite TV.
