There are peaceful sunsets, a view of the lobster boats and tide activity, and access to great food. The house is a very comfortable place to land for a week!

It is in a wonderful location, close to Acadia and Bar Harbor but far enough that it's fairly quiet. The house itself was in immaculate condition. It was nice to sit outside and look at fishing boats or the deer that wandered into the yard each night and morning. ##### Craig B.

We had to change plans for our honeymoon on short notice and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Not only was the property available on short notice but it was spacious, clean, stylish, and very homey with a great waterfront view. It felt like our home away from home. Elean was an awesome host with great communication leading up to and throughout our stay. I highly recommend staying at Harborside Cottage if you’re planning a trip to Maine! ##### Jade T.

Everything was comfy and clean. We loved waking up and having coffee on the deck overlooking the water. The property is on the quieter side of MDI, but there was still so much to do! Ample supplies in the kitchen, but no dishwasher. We ate out a lot so we didnt have to wash too many dishes. At high tide we jumped off the wharf with our kids and had so much fun! Overall 5\*! ##### Paul K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sharon d. 17 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best hosts ever! Have spent many fall seasons at Acadia, but this accommodation was one of the best. The view was unparalleled, and when you’re stuck for a week due to Covid, the view is even more important! Our hosts were very responsive anytime we had a question. We had a power outage while on the island, and before we woke up, we had the necessary items to get us through that power outage. The cottage is outfitted very well, the kitchen has anything and everything you can need. Plenty of bathrooms, beautiful deck, and the surroundings were lovely. We will stay there again on our next visit! Thank you, Elean and family. ##### sharon d.

The house was very charming and clean. The sunsets are spectacular. We enjoyed lobster twice that the owners dropped off for us. We slept in the downstairs bedroom with the king bed and it was probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Its an ideal location, close to downtown Bar Harbor and several other quaint little villages. ##### Lori K.

Elean, the host is terrific. She went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. ##### Michael B.

Quiet Side location on the water was so serene and relaxing. Enjoyed all the amenities, especially fire pit and roasting marshmallows in the evenings. Got some of the best sleep in ages - very quiet at night. Stones throw from SW Harbor and all there is to feast on there. Really appreciated being able to easily access Bar Harbor without having to be in the thick of it and related crowds. Hope to return soon. ##### Jordan C.

The location of the house provides beautiful sunsets, early morning fog in the bay, and the ebb and flow of the tide. The home was conveniently located on the quietside of the island with nearby hikes. A trip to Bar Harbor was 30 minutes but the Quietside provides plenty of dining and shopping opportunities. We appreciated the kitchen had some pantry items along with laundry supplies. The owner checked in with us several times during the week. Would definitely recommend this location for your trip. ##### Carrie A.

The house was sparkling clean! We stayed downstairs in the king-sized bedroom and found the mattress just right, firm support with some cushioning. The kitchen was very well equipped and we cooked dinner most of our 8 nights there. The host was a pleasure to deal with and we loved the giant fresh harvested lobsters delivered to our door by the family lobstermen! Views out the dining room bay window are wonderful and we enjoyed watching the changing tides. ##### lizz k. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2020 ---
