We enjoyed the Hygeia House and will be back! The building was intended to be an Inn and is not a converted family home, so it has private baths and small sitting rooms, in addition to the public rooms. They also had some lovely landscaping. Yes they are small rooms furnished with antiques and charming old photos. This style is... More

Thumbs up for The Hygeia House. Perched and perfectly located in between Old Harbor and new harbor, you can enjoy the ocean breezes and enjoy the sunsets. As I am never up for sunrise :P...I cant tell you for sure...and I think those would be perfect as well. With comfortable rooms, private baths...plenty of beach towels, an awesome outdoor shower...

I definitely recommend this home, because it felt like a place away from home, to anyone who wants to experience a sense of peace, community and love. We especially enjoyed Brother.

The Hygeia is so uniquely peaceful in such a high energy tourist location. It is simple in every way and so easy to get to the beach and town. While you are on the property you feel miles away from restaurants, nightlife etc. and yet everything is in walking distance. The owner, Lisa, is so welcoming and friendly. Another ten... More

I recently stayed at the Hygeia House for a weekend and would not recommend it. Read the majority of the reviews on this site because they paint an accurate picture of the accommodations. The rooms are not clean, there are no amenities and forget about trying to get quick service from the owner. We stayed for two nights and never... More

When I stay at a Bad and Breakfast or any hotel I expect the room to smell clean and fresh. The Hygeia house did not have that quality. The shower curtain was covered with green mold!!!!! The bathroom and the room adjacent to our bedroom did not smell good at all. The bathroom mat had a big hole in it.... More

Stayed at The Hygeia with two friends. Our room was traditional and charming. The owner Lisa, was so friendly and helpful. Her kitten Jewel and her dog brother were so cute! The Hygeis is really close to the beach, about a ten minute walk, and the same to the harbour. Our room wasn't services during our stay and the toilet... More

I stayed in this B&B with my wife and my in-laws. The price was very reasonable and it's location to the beach was excellent and the view from our room had a great view. We arrived late at night so the owner was not in. This was not a problem as I do not need a welcoming party, I enjoyed... More
