About this apartment rental

Locally owned, maintained and occupied by an Island family of several generations, Breakwater (Formerly Black Dog Watch) is a large apartment in a newer duplex on an elevated property across the harbor, offering wonderful views of Southwest Harbor, Manset shore, and the Cranberry Isles. Park your cars on the property and walk 5 minutes to all that Southwest Harbor has to offer by being right on Main St. The pier is directly across the street along with 2 restaurants within throwing distance. The house offers WiFi, cable, Roku, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and Disney + for evenings and rainy days. Breakwater can sleep 8-10 people with 2 king sized rooms, 2 rooms with a set of twins, and an optional futon and couch. The 680 sq. ft. deck also overlooks the ocean with deck furniture, picnic table, and new Weber gas grill for enjoying warm summer evenings.

We are avid animal lovers and welcome well behaved and well mannered pets after discussing your pets with us ahead of time. We reserve the right to deny pets if necessary. Maggie the Black Dog lives next door with us, so if you can't bring your pets and want a visit, I'm sure Maggie can schedule some time into her busy schedule for you to throw the ball for her.

The Island offers a free bus service through the Island Explorer that has pick up locations just walking distance from the house. Explore all our Island has to offer without touching your car for your entire trip.

There are also several paddle board, kayak, canoe, bike, and scooter rental shops for you to enjoy the Island even better. Golfers will enjoy the x3 18 hole golf courses on the Island including The Causeway Club right in Southwest Harbor plus one more just off the Island in Trenton.

You won't have a hard time filling up your vacation with activities in Southwest Harbor, only a hard time trying to do them all.

This apartment can be combined with our 3 bedroom apartment, Osprey Nest for a total of 7 bedrooms if availability exists.

Luke the owner was friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay. Great place to come back to in the evening after exploring during the day.

Perfect location for family vacation. Close enough to all attractions yet far enough away for peace and quiet. Great views, super clean.

We stayed at Breakwater in October 2023 with two young families. The apartment is well stocked and worked well for two couples with three kids under 4. Luke was super accomodating and provided us with pack n plays and a high chair, and was also very responsive. Location is great - walk across the street to the harbor to check out boats and birds, or walk down to the village for breakfast or dinner. We loved our stay in Southwest Harbor and at Breakwater. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed for our Maine vacation.

The place was well stocked and had everything we needed. The location right in Southwest Harbor gave us a great view of the harbor and in close proximity to restaurants and the town. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are in close proximity where we spent several days. The owners were very responsive to our needs.

Nice place with a nice view. Two grandparents, three adults, and an infant. We didn’t even need to use one of the bedrooms. We were pleased with the arrangement of the bathroom and half bath both being accessed from the living room area and available without having to go through anyone’s bedroom. Nice location within easy walking distance of Southwest Harbor shops and restaurants. Short drive to hiking trails, museums, and Acadia National Park. Very nice hosts provided helpful tips for hikes, restaurants, and groceries.

This was our first trip to Acadia and couldn’t have picked a better property. It was as described. We were very comfortable with how roomy the house was and ended each night on the deck with the fire-pit and great view of the dock across the way. The house was very clean and well-situated within short walking distance to the town’s shops and restaurants. Luke is always accessible and extremely helpful with any questions and recommendations. It was relaxing to be on the quieter side of the island, with plenty of hiking trails nearby, but also close enough with a short drive to the Bar Harbor area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!
