Southwest Harbor, Maine

It was a wonderful experience. The home was extremely nice, rooms and bathrooms for everyone. We had plenty of room to cook in the kitchen. It was wonderful having a washer and dryer. It was an easy walk to town and close to Arcade. The small towns with charm were very close. Our whole family had a wonderful vacation.

Doug’s Review

Great location and the property was what you would expect from an elderly home on the Maine coast. The property owners were terrific.

Southwest Harbor is the place to stay!

This property was very comfortable for 4 couples. It was nice to be so close to downtown. Southwest Harbor was much easier to navigate compared to Bar Harbor. We loved working with the home owners who were very accommodating. Loved Maine and loved this home as our base!

Perfect Maine House!

Our group of 11 (age 2-70) stayed here last week and it was great! It was so convenient to have a bathroom in each bedroom. Some previous reviews mention that the showers in the bedrooms are small. While they definitely are if you are taller, they work just fine! There is a larger bathroom with a taller shower/bath in the hall for anyone who needs more room. The kitchen has every dish/utensil/pot/pan that you could ever imagine. My only heads up for people with small children, the dishes are all real porcelain/glass. There are a few larger plastic cups but maybe bring some children’s plates with you if your toddler likes to break real ones. The dining area on the porch is massive and fits everyone comfortably. There is a large laundry room in the basement which was great with so many people and a week of messy outdoor adventures. This was our family’s second time renting this house, and it will absolutely not be our last. If you are looking for a comfortable, spacious, home away from home for your vacation, this is your place!

Maine Vacation

There was plenty of space for our party of 11. Kitchen supplies were excellent. Location was tough with a dog because the main street was so busy with cars and no sidewalks. Had a great family vacation.
