We couldn’t have picked a better house for our first trip to Maine. This house was perfect…beautiful, well-maintained, and spacious. And, the views were amazing! We loved being on the quiet side, but still close enough to enjoy everything that Maine had to offer. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this property for a week. The home was wonderful for our family of 9 with both adults and children staying. We had a warm week but there were good breezes through the house. It is close to many of the must see sites in the area. Communication with the owners was rapid and helpful. I highly recommend this home for a family stay!

This was our first time to Maine and Spectacular Views did not disappoint!! We had 2 families and 11 people total and had plenty of room. The view of the harbor was beautiful and you could see sunrise every morning from the master bedrooms (upstairs and main). This was close to Acadia NP, Bar Harbor, and everything we wanted to see. We also hiked and went swimming at Echo Lake. I wish we could have stayed longer!! Also, highly recommend the bakery at the end of the street- Emmy’s sweet treats!! Best blueberry pie!!

Our stay was great! We had an awesome time exploring MDI and hanging out in Southwest Harbor. Staying in SWH was nice because it felt a bit more remote than some parts of the island closer to Bar Harbor but still close enough to all the hikes that we wanted to do. The house itself is great! Plenty of space for the 7 of us and easily could have fit 2-3 more. The house has space to work and is well equipped to be able to host a nice meal. One of the highlights of SWH was Harbor Table (a restaurant in town), we highly suggest going for dinner.

We had high hope for our stay and this house was everything we hoped for. The house was just as beautiful as the photos if not more so. I guess I'd summarize by saying this was like staying in somone's home where the owners go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Whenever we had questions either Rachel or Jonathan responded promptly. The next time we come back to Southwest Harbor this will definitely be our first choice of where to stay.

We loved our stay! The house was clean, had all the amenities one could need, and the views of the water were spectacular. The remnants of Hurricane Lee impacted our arrival but we were able to work closely with Jonathan and Rachel to ensure the property was safe, accessible, and ready for use. The communication truly was above and beyond! We enjoyed stargazing from the upper deck, and being able to access Acadia/Bar Harbor less than 30 mins from this gorgeous home. I highly recommend staying here!
