So happy we chose this rental. We brought our own boat from VA. The marina is literally next door, opposite canal side from row of boathouse. The elevator/lift made bringing in luggage a breeze- carts available too. Close walk to town and on quiet street. Super comfortable furnishings, clean and fresh rooms towels linens, nautical touches throughout you really feel immersed in ‘The River’ life. The river and area cannot be justly described, it’s truly stunning. Hopefully you bring a boat, if not, a boat tour is a must to fully appreciate The 1000 islands. Boldt Castle was a worthy visit and this location could not be any easier to boat over and dock at castle or restaurants if you prefer float over feet! The men came to fish for smallmouth bass. The river is crystal clear; you can see bottom even at 25 ft deep, and it’s quite a sight to see the catch. There were always pretty little blue tail baitfish by the boathouse too. Geese, loons, heron, ducks, kayaking or lounging in balcony deck plenty of wildlife to admire. I did plenty of shopping in town, unplanned but couldn’t pass unique items for birthdays showers Christmas gifts. There’s much more than just touristy tee shirts. The museum is bigger than it appears and the staff are longtime locals, friendly and fun to hear interesting detail how the opulent life arrived in the islands. A week wasn’t enough time. We will be back and this rental is where we would choose again and again !

Great trip. Great location. Host was more than accommodating! Looking forward to next year!

We had a great time , the boat house is what sold us. We will be back.

We enjoyed our stay. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. The view was not what I expected when staying on the water, but perhaps that was my expectation. It looked over a small water way, with a run down house just across the water with trash (old tires and furniture on the lawn). We just chose to look to the left instead of straight across. It was right before the start of the season so they were prepping the boat slips which was fun to watch. We enjoyed the town and liked that it was close by.

The Villa is perfect for a small family - super clean, not far from Alex Bay, and just a short drive down to Clayton. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Really enjoyed our stay

Superb experience all the way around! Communication, cleanliness, view, boat house, size of the place. This is our second time visiting the harbor villas. There is a convenient marina right across the inlet to launch your boat or jet ski. Thank you for the stay!

The property was overall great and close to many things via boat or car. It was also especially nice that the launch was across the marina with trailer parking which made the entire process easy. We went most places by boat despite it being a little cloudy a few days. Laura was an amazing host and checked in on us throughout the stay to see if we needed anything via txt. Great property for the 4 of us (3 teen age kids 1 adult)
