Tucked along the southwestern shores of Mount Desert Island, Southwest Harbor is a charming fishing village known for its working waterfront, stunning harbor views, and laid-back atmosphere. Often considered the quieter counterpart to Bar Harbor, this coastal town offers a more relaxed and authentic Maine experience while still providing easy access to Acadia National Park.

Home to a thriving boatbuilding industry, Southwest Harbor boasts a strong maritime heritage, with local shipyards crafting some of the finest yachts in the world. The town’s picturesque harbor is dotted with lobster boats, sailboats, and waterfront restaurants serving up fresh-caught seafood.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, from the scenic trails of Western Mountain and Beech Cliffs to the serene beauty of Seawall and Echo Lake. The town also serves as a gateway to Great Cranberry and Little Cranberry Islands, accessible by ferry for those looking to explore Maine’s rugged offshore beauty.

    Great property and location is within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Quieter than Bar Harbor, but need to consider you will have to drive farther to some of Acadia trails.

    Beautiful, modern updated condo with comfortable beds & nice bathrooms. Small deck with a water view. Condo building is a small, restored, very old building, close to the street. The listing talks about noise & we did notice the traffic noise, mostly early in the mornings. Still, we’d stay there again & it didn’t disturb our sleep but you can hear it. Walk to the downtown area & short, pleasant drive to congested Bar Harbor. It was nice to retreat to a calmer, quieter SW Harbor.

    Great place. Wish we had found the earplugs on the way into the condo, rather than when we were departing. The street noise started to get loud around..

    Lovely location and well kept property. Southwest Harbor has a more local flavor rather versus the crowds (and lack of parking) in Bar Harbor. Staring the day with breakfast on the balcony, over looking the bay, was very relaxing.

    This place was perfect for our family of 4. It was easy to get around…most days we drove our rental car but one day we did utilize the bus! We stopped at the cute bar across the street on our last night and wished we had stopped sooner!

    Some pros - the beds were comfy, convenient location to Acadia in Southwest Harbor, great dock overlooking the harbor which was great for fireworks! We enjoyed our overall stay, but as other reviewers mentioned, the noise is a very big issue for this property. The walls are PAPER thin - if someone drops anything above you, or walks, or moves a chair - the sound is very amplified. I knew this going in, but it was still crazy how much we heard every single movement of the rest of the building. It's definitely a very old building, which to be fair, seems to be the norm around Acadia (and they are very charming! just come with quirks). It ended up being the lease expensive thing for our group of 3 as we needed 2 bedrooms 2 baths, but I don't think it was worth the overall cost. Additionally, the TV did not work and was not connected to the internet, despite the property listing that there was indeed a working TV. We tried both nights to connect it to the internet that all of our phones were connected to, but that didn't work. Annoying because we specifically got a living room so we could all relax and watch TV after a long day of hiking.

    Sparkling clean and very spacious with gorgeous waterfront view. We were in Driftwood. We appreciated the amenities provided, the clear instructions on check in and out as well as the tips provided. There are wonderful breakfast options nearby and while we spent most of our time in Bar Harbor and Acadia, we appreciated being away from a busy downtown. Just note that from the more popular Acadia attractions, this is about a 20 min drive. Road noise wasn't too bad, we used the fans and ran the AC and sound machine.

    The place was clean and spacious. Each bedroom had their own bathroom. It was a convenient location with coffee shops and restaurants just a couple blocks away and walkable. It was conveniently located for our daily trips to Acadia and just a short 10 minutes from Bass Harbor lighthouse for sunset. There was also a grocery store just a couple minutes away.

    We enjoyed our stay. The unit had nice water views. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfortable and they have a washing machine. We had to hang out at the unit for most of one day while dealing with a dead rental car…the unit was comfortable and inviting for a day of puzzles and movie watching. There are several good restaurants within a short walking distance. If you are a light sleeper, go for the top unit. Even when trying to be quiet, the building transmits sounds.

    This condo was absolutely perfect! It was in a great location. We were able to walk across the street for dinner and the shops along the main strip were all within walking distance, We went to see the fall color and they were spectacular. This condo was close to all of the places we wanted to visit. I highly recommend this place!

    At a minimum, this property needs soundproofing, overhead lighting in the bedrooms and bathrooms, working locks on the patio sliders, and updated windows with secure screens. Additionally, the shower stall needs a handheld shower head because it’s virtually impossible to rinse the lower half of your body. Luggage racks would be a nice touch, as would a chair in each bedroom. Finally, we had safety concerns about the stability of the deck railings.

    The reviews and description we read were accurate. The property seemed larger once we checked in. It was clean and spacious. Reviews and the description said there was road noise off the street/bedrooms which there was. We used fans and ear plugs provided. All in all a great stay.
