Our group of 8 (2 parents, 3 adult children and their friends) stayed here and it was a great fit. Steps from restaurants, bakeries and a very managable drive (25 min) to Bar Harbor it was a great location. It is right on a busy street. The noise did not bother us at all as we were out enjoying the park during the day. In the evening traffic is super light so nothing to bother your sleep. The host has it beautifully furnished. I would highly recommend this home but not for 8 adults. The fourth room is in a walkway to the bathroom that is shared with the master and the entire first floor so not a private location so a bit awkward for adults. It would be a fine room for young kids. But for 6 people this house is perfect for young and old. The kitchen was well stocked and made our stay that much more comfortable. Being a mom I did notice all of the wonderful kid proof touches that would make it a great place for even those with curious toddlers :).

We loved the home's central location in Southwest Harbor! The amenities of the home met all of our needs. The outside of the home (front porch and back deck) wasn't usable because of maintenance. These spaces need to be power washed and the furniture wiped down!

Our family reserved 3 homes for our reunion There were 45 of us. Slack Tide was the perfect size for our little group. This house is close to coffee shops, restaurants, and access to hiking trails by car. Host was very accommodating and easy to work with. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds very comfortable. If we ever come back to Maine we would stay here again.

My recent stay at this VRBO property was very good! From start to finish, the experience was enjoyable. The owner's communication was very good, and they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and hassle-free. They were responsive and attentive, which made the whole process smooth. The place was clean, and the well-stocked kitchen was a pleasant surprise, even though we didn't use it much. The charming atmosphere of the property added to the overall appeal. One notable convenience was the presence of a baby gate at the top of the stairs, which was a thoughtful touch for families with little ones. However, it's worth mentioning that the upstairs bathroom was a bit awkward compared to the one on the first floor. The washer and dryer worked well, which made our stay even more convenient. Despite the property being next to the main road, the traffic noise was not bothersome at all. The EV charger is a 14-50 receptacle was a significant benefit, and just remember to bring your own level 2 charger, as it's a receptacle rather than a dedicated charger. This information is important for fellow EV travelers, so they can plan accordingly. The location was superb! Being within an easy walking distance to town made exploring the area a breeze. We could easily access restaurants, shops, and other attractions. All in all, I can't recommend this VRBO property enough. It was a very good experience, and I would happily return for another stay in the future.

Slack Tide is a wonderful, clean house within very close walking distance of everything in downtown Southwest Harbor. It is also a short drive to Acadia National Park trails and activities on the “Quiet Side” of MDI. Our family had a lovely week in the peak of summer and hope to come back again soon!

This home is a wonderful spot for all things Acadia NP. It’s location is great on the quieter side of the island. We loved SW harbor, especially Eat-A-Pita restaurant (get the lobster tacos). The home is extremely clean, even the basement. It was well equipped and extremely comfortable for our family. Steve was easy to get ahold of for checking in and out instructions. The main parts of Acadia were about 20 minutes away. We did 14 hikes all around the park in 2.5 days and they were easy to get to from the home. We highly recommend getting reservations (in advance) for a sunrise at Cadillac Mountain, hiking the Beehive trail, and all the photographic opportunities at Sand Beach and the Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Stay at this beautiful home, you won’t regret it!

Middle part of a weeklong bike tour of Maine. Great location away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor but still very accessible to the routes we planned to ride. Southwest Harbor has some great places to eat.

Just what we needed for a quick family trip!! It’s conveniently located right in town and easy access to shops and restaurants! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book here again!!
