Southwest Harbor, Maine
Walk a few hundred feet through our private access oceanfront. Wake up to the reflections off the water and smell the salt air. The property overlooks Cadillac Mountain, and The Cranberry Islands. Play croquet in the front yard and watch the sailboats go by all day. Or you can plan day trips to make the most adventurous tired by the end of the day. The outdoor activities are endless on Mount Desert Island, and offers some of the best seafood in the world.
Great stay and nice space. Get ready for numerous deer! House is 'quaint', and really 1.5 baths, not 2- BUT the downstairs bathroom does not disappoint! We slept 6 adults very comfortable and with good water supply / water heat- had no issues. Great view, but there was no croquet set (locked in the garage you cannot use)- this was minor, but I brought 4 bikes up and there was no storage for rainy days. No fire pit or fireplace use was a bummer and unexpected compared to many other places we have rented in Acadia. Grill was nice though for fish we caught on charter. TV room space is great for family time/movies, but couch is uncomfortable and recliners need to be replaced. We didnt care much about that, just a comment. Great kitchen area and pot for cooking up lobsters!, and useful dining room space for computer/internet work details however the wifi was not good from there. You can function, but not one day was I able to process fast enough at 10am when they release spots to reserve a Caddilac mtn. sunrise reservation (now required)- no worries, we hiked it anyways. I was able to surf well enough to find the charter, and a local golf course. Overall, not our usual, but I think it was worth it!- and it afforded a different and wonderful view and area. I am sold on the fact that the West side of MDI island and near SW Harbor is particularly where you want to setup shop for a week. We have done it all, and really to enjoy it, off island is too far- SW is perfect, Thank you!
The property is clean and efficient, with a great view. Loved all the does and their fawns who visited us daily too.
Cute house - reminded me of my great grandmothers house. It’s old and the downstairs is well kept. Upstairs bathroom has a make shift shower connected to what could be a great claw foot bathtub unfortunately it is only usable w a very low shower connected to the spigot via screws/tubing. Downstairs was old and cute if you only need one bathroom and 2 bedrooms this makes a great place to stay.We really couldn’t use the upstairs bath so sharing was a bit of a pain for 7 people. Dog friendly was a plus. Hopefully the “security system” installed w several small devices placed so that it covered the entire downstairs is only motion detection and not cameras- they seemed to blink when we walked near them- it was a lil creepy bc why would you need that when ppl are there renting it?
Older home, but beautiful location. Very quiet and relaxing
This property is in an amazing location but needs some significant care (inside and out) to march the beauty of the location. The second floor needs be totally updated ( the unusable bathroom first) and the first floor, while much more workable, leaves a lot to be desired. The space outdoors need to be rethought to create enjoyable outdoor space. An example would be to put the grill in back and expand parking to not obstruct the amazing view. We enjoyed our time there despite these challenges and will provide other thoughts through a different medium if interested.
Had a great week owners mother was very helpful
This coastal hidden gem is like stepping back in time. With the exception of a hiccup, we absolutely loved staying here. Views from the front of the house are exceptional. A one minute walk to the rocky shore line is breathtaking. Close proximity to everything...30 min to Bar Harbor and the Hulls Cove Visitor center. This was our first time in Maine and we're hooked!
We loved the old feel of this property, which had a very genuine “old man by the sea” feel. It was beautiful and just what we needed to have a great time near Acadia.
Great location if looking for a quieter experience. Part of the house is older and reminiscent of my grandparents farm house. I’d suggest bringing hdmi adapter to access entertainment via your phone/device for those cloudy/foggy evenings.
This home is on the quiet side of MDI, and has waterfront access, which is great. The sunrises are amazing and right in the picture window. A great place for stargazers as well. The kitchen is clean and well equipped. The bedrooms and bathrooms are in need of some TLC. This place could be knockout with a few upgrades.
