We LOVED our stay in Southwest Harbor. The place was clean and spacious with great views. Plenty to do in the area with the main area of Bar Harbor and Acadia being 15-30min depending on the particular area you’re headed.

We loved the common area, with a large, well equiped kitchen, comfy TV area, ample dining seating, and beautiful views of the harbor. The nearby town is very cute. We would love to go back.

My family loved staying here. We thoroughly enjoyed all the activities on the docks around us. My five-year-old son was delighted to ask questions to marine mechanics, members of the Coast Guard, and lobstermen. Highly recommend if you are looking to have a real view and appreciation of the working Maine waterfront.

This apartment was perfect for our weekend getaway in Southwest Harbor. When we arrived, we were instantly in love with the view. The living area looked right over the water. The whole place was filled with fresh air and natural light. The apartment is impeccably clean, and the kitchen has everything someone would need to cook meals. The owner is local and very responsive. The description mentioned noise from the harbor; this didn't bother us one bit. We barely noticed it. The restaurant next door was busy, and we could hear them, but it didn't last late into the night. Besides, we enjoyed the live music while sitting on the back deck. We only wish that we could've stayed longer!
