Historic Harbormaster’s House on the Great Harbor

Step into coastal Maine history at the beautifully restored Harbormaster’s House, originally built in 1888 and thoughtfully renovated in 1989. Located on picturesque Clark Point Road, this year-round residence offers sweeping views of the Great Harbor and a front-row seat to the ever-changing marine activity — from lobster boats to sailboats gliding by.

Inside, the home combines modern comfort with classic charm:

3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms

Spacious open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area

Two laundry rooms for added convenience

Second-floor office/sitting room with harbor views

Harborside decks perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails

Large basement with ping-pong table for indoor fun

The main floor primary suite features an ADA-compliant bathroom and a private screened porch — ideal for relaxing with a book or enjoying cool sea breezes.

A one-car attached garage offers direct entry to the home. Outside, meander through lush perennial gardens down a quiet path to the shore, where a private beach and dock invite you to launch kayaks, cast a line, or simply watch the tide roll in.

New in 2024: A spacious deck and cozy boathouse at the water’s edge — your perfect, sheltered hangout with comfortable seating and stunning views. End your evening stargazing from the Adirondack chairs on the dock — the night sky here is unforgettable.

Just five houses from the Southwest Harbor Town Dock, and a short 10-minute walk to Beal’s Lobster Pound and downtown Southwest Harbor, with its charming shops, restaurants, historic inns, and museum — this home is perfectly positioned for your Acadia National Park adventures.

    The historic house was perfect for us and had plenty of room. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful views from the large windows in the living area and the decks. The kitchen was well stocked and there were lots of assorted spices, flour, oil etc. available for our use. We especially like the location in Southwest Harbor. We could easily walk to downtown area and restaurants. Beal's Lobster Pound was delicious. Acadia NP surrounded Southwest Harbor and all areas were within a 30 minute drive. The host was available to answer questions before and during our trip. The pictures of the house are accurate.

    We had a fall vacation with family and everyone loved the house and it's history! From playing ping pong in the basement to having cocktails on the dock after hiking in Acadia, to walking to Beal's for lobster dinner, we enjoyed everything!

    We stayed in this beautiful home in early April. It is a quiet time of year and we even had snow. The home is spacious and has gorgeous views and the owners have everything provided to make you comfortable. We were able to easily walk to town and loved visiting the library, the little Episcopal church, and especially the Wendell Gilley museum. We hiked three days in Acadia and the home was very convenient to the park. This home has good energy. I would love to come back with my adult kids. I highly recommend.

    What a wonderful experience in the off season for our anniversary celebration! The house is very clean and the views were great! We really enjoyed the new boathouse as the storm moved in, just a great experience! The host had a bottle of champagne chilling for us on arrival! Very thoughtful! I highly recommend this space for any occasion! Thanks so much for sharing your space with us!

    My 5 friends and I booked 3 nights at Meg’s home and it was incredible. We loved cozying up on the sofa, playing games with a view of the harbour, and cooking in the well-stocked kitchen. Everyone was so happy with the beds and slept well, nice quality sheets, close to Beale’s, Little Fern and Harry’s for great food and cocktails. It was the perfect cozy Maine weekend and Meg was the BEST host and so so accommodating.

    We had an amazing time in the Harbormasters house. The setting right at the waterline is nothing short of amazing. Between the upper deck and the nicely newly updated waterfront deck we spend most of our time outside looking at the harbor. House is very clean and the furniture is very charming and comfortable.

    Such a beautiful home and very well appointed. Lovely area with great food spots close by. The deck and boathouse are the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. Loved it!
