Southwest Harbor, Maine
This private, gem of a year-round house on the water with a wonderful rocky beach overlooks sailboat races, working lobster boats, the Cranberry Islands and the mountains of Acadia. The views from the deck amaze and astound, making it hard to want to leave the property.
This 15 year old house is just five minutes from the delightful village of Southwest Harbor with restaurants & shopping. Even closer, pick up fresh cooked lobster or a lobster roll (and don't for get the blueberry pie) at the end of the driveway. Sit on your deck and enjoy some of the best views on Mt. Desert, including mountains and the Cranberry Islands.

Very clean.well equiped.guiet.beautiful setting.
Enjoyed watching the boats go by and tides coming in and out. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom with bath and our friends had the upstairs beds and bath to themselves. With 2 couples, we look for equal sleeping arrangements. I rode my bike into the village, where we bought some groceries, cheese, bakery and went to dinner a couple times. The kitchen was fine for cooking. We visited nearby Bar Harbor, but we were glad to be here, and away from the crowds.
The property everything we had hoped for! Amazing water and island view in a quiet area, but still close to to shops & restaurants. The house was comfortable and well stocked, but our favorite spot was definitely the deck.
We took our elderly parents here for a week, and loved the fact that there was a master bedroom DOWNSTAIRS with a full bathroom, so that they did not need to go up and down any stairs to access their room. The deck has a stunning view and the neighborhood is extremely quiet. A bonus is that there's a seafood shack restaurant that you can walk to in 5 minutes. The house was clean and the owners were SUPER responsive when we needed to ask questions. Our only complaint was that the upstairs bathroom had a few quirky issues.
This was our fourth time at the house, and we were so sad to leave. The place is always clean and inviting, and the views of the ocean and Acadia are second to none. Truly a special place, and we have made so many great memories there over the years. We hope to make it back again.
This home is absolutely beautiful! Everything you need is there. Awesome views and location. Close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor, yet away from the crowds. Minutes from great hiking and dining. Wish we stayed another week!!
This is a lovely and comfortable house in a beautiful setting. The property is well maintained. The owner is very responsive.
This is our third stay in this incredible place. We look forward to returning next year. The views are stunning, the house is comfortable and clean and well stocked. We love it.
Our new favorite anywhere! Mesmerizing view, luxurious house, best location on MDI-close to everything but in its own little slice of paradise!
Just an amazing house with the best views of Acadia. The house itself is comfortable and clean. It has everything that you need and very close to great park attractions. You can’t do better. This is our second stay at the property and we can’t wait to go back
