About this apartment rental
The Seawall is a naturally occurring granite, loose boulder and rock seawall with easy shore walks and tidepools to explore. The property sits directly across from it and is a short distance to the park's picnic area. From the apartment's balcony, you can watch the waves crash on the rugged shoreline and watch the sunrise over the Great Cranberry Island. On a clear night, it is one of the best places in the country for stargazing.
Just beyond the scenic area, you'll approach two of many walking trails of Acadia: Ship Harbor and Wonderland. Each is less than a two-mile hike along the ocean and nature trails. A short drive from these trails is the Bass Harbor Lighthouse that has been guiding mariners with its light since 1858. The dramatic setting, especially at sunset, is a photographer's dream!

This condo is great! Very close to Acadia/Bar Harbor, gorgeous view of the ocean right off of the deck, and very cute/well-maintained interior. Only one thing to note: we made dinner (5 adults) at the condo a few nights of our week-long stay and found that the kitchen didn't have any spices/seasonings and only a small selection of pots and pans. We made it work - cooked pasta noodles in two batches, for example, since there was only one mid-sized pot available - but it's something to be aware of if you do plan to cook for a group during your stay. But we would 100% stay in this rental again on a future trip - it was the perfect place to relax after long days hiking and exploring Acadia.

We stayed in Stargazer and it was lovely. The place was clean. The pictures are exactly what you are getting. The view was spectacular. I was very happy we stayed the week we did in July because the unit does not have AC. We didn't need it because we always had a breeze from the coast but a good heat wave might be a problem. The location was wonderful as well. It is out of the way from all the traffic but that means it takes longer to get to the Loop Road. That didn't bother us in the least. We also picked up the Island Bus to go into Bar Harbor so we didn't have to drive and park which was a major plus. I would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Rental
The Stargazer was the perfect rental for our MDI vacation. We chose to stay on the Quiet Side of the island with our toddler and were not disappointed. Stargazer offers an amazing view of the ocean and we loved waking up every morning to the sound of the waves and ocean breeze coming into the Master Bedroom. The condo was extremely clean, well furnished and had all of the amenities needed for a great stay. Located a short drive from downtown Southwest Harbor and minutes from Wonderland and Ship Harbor trails. We will absolutely stay here again on a future visit.

Amazing
We had a fantastic stay at the Stargazer. The views were amazing. The condo was very clean, well stocked, and met all of our needs. It is close to many amazing hikes and activities, but still in a quiet, peaceful setting. We hope to be back someday!

Great End of Summer Week
Fantastic views of the ocean from the decks. Condo was comfortable and clean. Photo does not show the webcam hanging from the second floor eaves of the condo next door.
Lovely welcome gift which included a gift certificate to Charlottes Lobster Pound! Very fun & delish. Love MDI!

Awesome place to stay for Acadia
We stayed in the Stargazer building. It is a two-floor condo amongst two others. It is the perfect location right across from the Seawall and a few minutes south of Southwest Harbor. This part of the island is quieter, but still near amazing hikes and the lighthouse. It is about a 30 minute ride to the heart of the park. The property was well furnished and supplied. After not hearing much from the manager leading up to our arrival, the check-in process went smoothly. It has three bedrooms that easily fit our five person family. The kids loved the open floor plan and having their own rooms. This was a lovely stay and one that I would be happy to stay in again.

Sibling Fun
the property was amazing. The view from the sliding glass doors was of the rocky Atlantic Ocean and a beautiful pond filled with amazing wildlife. Perfect location to enjoy all that Acadia has to offer. So happy.

Perfect for us
The condo was very clean and nicely decorated. We loved sitting in the decks and watching the beavers and ducks in the pond as well as the ocean just beyond. Sleeping with the windows open and hearing the waves was perfect. The only thing we would suggest is adding sharp knives and a cutting board to the kitchen. We would definitely stay here again.

Southwest Harbor vacation
this past week. We stayed in the lovely "Stargazer" condo this past week. It was clean and situated across from the Seawall of Acadia. The posted pictures are accurate representations of the space. It was a little tight at night with 5-6 adults, but otherwise great.The property is extremely well cared for, and Dave was informative as well as very helpful. Gorgeous area.

Perfect!
We loved this property! It was clean and neat and everyone was extremely helpful. The ocean was right across the road and you can hear it with the windows open. My children were always playing in the tide pools.

Serenity Beside the Ocean
The minute we stepped inside and saw this view directly out the rear deck, we knew we were going to love our stay here. Peaceful, quiet, great views, starry nights. We also loved the matching deck off the 2d floor master bedroom, with sounds of the ocean lulling us to sleep. Comfortable furnishings and beds, attractive and useful kitchen, all very clean. The property is within 1-3 miles of several coastal hiking trails and the historic Bass Lighthouse; a 5-minute drive to the cute town of Southwest Harbor with restaurants and stores; 20 minutes to swimming, hiking, boat rentals and canoeing/paddle-boarding on Echo Lake, Long Pond and Beech Mtn. We would definitely come back!

Beautiful view
This is a wonderful place to stay in Southwest Harbor! It is clean, comfortable, new and nicely decorated. Dave, Vicky, Theresa and Debbie could not have been nicer. Kitchen is more than ample. We loved being on the quiet side close to the water.
