Southwest Harbor, Maine
This beautiful 2 bedroom apartment has all the amenities of home and is located right in the heart of Southwest Harbor! Walk out the door to many wonderful restaurants, galleries and shopping. We are a short walk to the harbor and marina. Across the street is the stop for seasonal island explorer bus service with free transportation to all over the island and Acadia National Park. Southwest Harbor is known as the quiet side of the island but definitely will have everything you need and more!! Within a 10 minute drive you can be at Bass Harbor lighthouse and Seawall picnic area or swimming in Echo Lake or hiking one of many mountains in Acadia National Park. We have 2 bedrooms with a king size bed in one and a queen size bed in the other. Full bathroom with washer and dryer. Starting in 2021 this apartment will rent by the week from Friday to Friday.
This unit also comes with 1 private parking space.
You can also walk (10 minute walk) to our coffee shop/bakery "Milagro Coffee & Espresso" for your morning coffee and pastry or breakfast (open Memorial Day to Marathon Day).
We also have a studio apartment and a 2 bedroom house in the Village of Southwest Harbor available to rent.
My wife, daughter and I stayed at the On Island Time condo the week before July 4th. The condo was very nice, roomy and most importantly extremely clean (probably the cleanest VRBO we've ever stay in). All the furniture was nice and the decor was enough to give the vacation condo vibe, without being too much and nothing I had to worry about my daughter messing with or breaking, which is nice. The apartment doesn't have AC, but it has plenty of fans and windows on all sides, so it is pretty easy to cool off. Bedding, furniture, bathroom were all nice and in good condition. The full size washer and dryer were very nice to have after a week of hiking. We cooked a couple of times and found the kitchen was pretty well stocked with the needed cookware, but has basically no storage containers, so beware if you plan on having leftovers. The range was pretty anemic, much less powerful than my electric range at home and a few more ice trays would've been nice. The owners always responded to me very quickly before I checked in. I had no need to contact them after I arrived. Southwest Harbor is a pretty sleepy town, but this condo has the best location within town I could imagine. Easy walk to everything, and I had no noise issues. I was able to walk across the street to watch the July 4th fireworks. Also, very easy and spacious parking right in front of the door. I would book this condo again in a heartbeat.
Great place in little town of southwest harbor. With an infant, it was a little out of the way to bar harbor and Acadia, but nice to be on quiet side of island!
My family wanted to see Acadia National Park, so I initially started looking at hotels in Bar Harbor. All of those options were insanely over-priced, so we looked to VRBO for nearby properties. I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon this property in Southwest Harbor. The unit was clean, had a separate bedroom for our teenager, and was located within walking distance to restaurants and shops. We had a great time, and would absolutely come back.
This was a wonderful “home” for 3 nights! After exploring Acadia all day coming back to this apartment was so nice. You can walk to the restaurants and shops in Southwest Harbor and even to the great little market for food and wine. Great to have a washer and dryer also! Only 2 small complaints: The gray towels seem to “shed” lint or the washer got lint on us/clothes. Also, some kind of outdoor area would have been soooo appreciated to sit and have a glass of wine. This would be impossible to add, but just thought future renters should be aware that there is no outdoor area.
Our stay at On Island Time was wonderful. From the nice touches in the decor to the convenient location in Southwest Harbor we were impressed. Upon our arrival was a small box of goodies from Shawn and Brian's store (Milagro Coffee and Espresso). I highly recommend visiting the coffee shop even if you do not stay in this particular VRBO. The accommodations were clean and well stocked. Being located on the other side of Mt. Desert Island allowed us to be away from the craziness of Bar Harbor and enjoy a relaxing time. This place was exactly what we were looking for.
This is a beautiful property! Spacious and beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean. There is nothing that you could want for, it's got everything you could possibly want to bake or cook, make drinks, be comfortable and feel at home. The location is great, right in the heart of charming little SW Harbor where there are nice restaurants, cafes, bakeries and gift shops. It is less than 1/2 hour to drive to Bar Harbor and to Acadia National Park. We enjoyed or stay so much and our only regret is that we weren't able to spend more time in this beautiful apartment. The parking is very convenient and located just behind the apartment. You do have to climb stairs to get to the apartment so probably not a good choice if you have trouble climbing stairs. We were greeted with a box of delicious muffins from the owners bakery and a hand written welcome note. All instructions for the stay and for check out are clearly written out. This is the best VRBO property we have stayed in so far.
We enjoyed our stay—clean and had everything we needed.
We enjoyed our stay enormously—this property managed to feel both pristine and homey; it is clear that a lot of love has gone into the design and preservation of this spacious, bright, comfortable home, and the owners have taken great care to ensure that visitors have everything they need to enjoy their visit. I could not recommend this property more highly—we loved it, loved Acadia, and will definitely be back.
The whole experience was seamless! Beautiful apartment in SW Harbor!!
One of the best Home Away properties we have stayed at. Shawn was an outstanding host that made sure we had treats from his cafe just down the street. Outstanding location for easy access to all of Bar Harbor and Acadia. Condo was very clean and completely stocked. Deposit refund was made within a day or 2. Thanks Shawn and Brian, we would like to rent again when we return. With respect, George and Nancy. 6-9 Oct. 2018
