Located in Southwest Harbor known as the quiet side of mount desert island, minutes from downtown shops and restaurants.The property is set back off main street and next to the golf course! less than a 2 minute drive to echo lake which has its own beach with lifeguards and much warmer water than the ocean, water reaches 75 degrees in the summer very nice for a relaxing swim or just relax the day away with a book.

Cute clean space, perfect for the amount of time we were at it. Walking distance to the grocery store. 3 minute drive to Southwest Harbor for restaurants and shops. Away from the crowds, but the road noise was noticeable at all times of days/night.

Nice area and we loved Bar harbor and the park. Restaurants had good food. Unit 1 was not clean upon our arrival. Beds were not completely made, table in living room was not put back in its place. Stove was dirty. The mirror in hallway was dirty and there was a hair tie hanging on it. The fan in bedroom was broken. The place smelled bad. Smelled musty. It did not feel homey.

I can’t think of a single thing they could improve on. Cottage was very clean. Kitchen was fully stocked. Convenient location. It was great to have grocery store and laundromat so close. And several restaurants in Southwest Harbor were less than 20 minutes away.

This wonderful apartment is located on the Quiet Side of Mount Desert Island, which was a big plus for us! As an added bonus, there is a grocery store (and a laundromat) 0.1 mile away. The beds and sofas are comfortable, the kitchen fully stocked with all the bakeware, cookware, crockery, flatware and utensils you will need. The bathroom is tiny, but certainly serviceable. And the owners, Tim and Sian are regularly updating and improving the property. Overall, we had a delightful stay!

We really love the location of this property. Walking distance to the grocery store and very convenient to both Southwest Harbor and Acadia National Park. We found it extremely clean when we arrived and the kitchen was very well stocked. Also plenty of linens. We did have a couple of issues, however. First was noise. The property is very close to route three which is the primary route into southwest harbor and there was lots of traffic noise even with the windows closed. Also, there was a unit above us, and there was a lot of noise that woke us up every morning and kept us awake a bit at night. Beyond that, this unit is very small. It was perfect for just the two of us, but would be tight for two couples.

Easy access to Seawall and Southwest Harbor area. Away from crowds of Bar Harbor but nice drive to get there.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. There was a musty/mildew smell, but I had bought some incents and decided to use them and that cured the smell. We didn't like the toilet location. It was very cramped and we kept running into the sink. They should put like a small table under the hand towel so you have a spot to put your phone, your watch, etc. We stayed in the bedroom that was closer to the bathroom and in the nightstand drawers they were very dusty so I had to wipe those out with a wet paper towel and I also had to wipe the back of the headboard on the bed. It was also very dusty. Other than that the place was spotless. We would stay there again if we are ever in the area.
