New Shoreside Cottage! Bring Your Kayak!

This beautiful new waterfront house is currently available for seasonal rentals. It's been built to embrace the beautiful views of Southwest Harbor and the outer islands. Wake up every morning to sensational sunrises and take your coffee out to enjoy the scene on the glassed in second story deck.
Watch the tides come and go right from your comfortably appointed King size master bedroom with flat screen TV/DVD. This house features two large bedrooms, double vanity bathroom, and laundry on the first floor. The second bedroom is a very large "bunk room" with 3 double sized beds, flat screen TV/DVD and an Xbox gaming system. The second floor is open with a beamed ceiling and 3 large ceiling fans, large windows overlooking the harbor, and a beautiful glassed in deck with adirondack syle chairs. The Monson slate kitchen is also on the second floor and includes a dishwasher. A half bath is also on the second floor for ease of entertaining. This house is nicely appointed with local Maine products, and very comfortable furnishings. We've included many books, travel guides, games, and DVD's to make your stay more comfortable. The lawn is nice and large and goes right down to the oceanside with large rocks to sit and watch the comings and goings of the local birds and the marine aspects of the harbor. There's also a shared firepit and adirondack chairs that are shoreside along with an outdoor dining set and gas grill. Kayaks can be launched from this spot during high tide.

This spectacular house is just a 5 minute walk to the village of SWH and all it has to offer! Many fine restaurants, bike shop, ice cream parlor, specialty food store, galleries, shops, tennis courts, and bus station. We have ample parking and are located next to Great Harbor marina where you can book many differednt types of harbor cruises. We are also in close vicinity to Seawall, Bass Harbor Head light, Echo Lake, and Somes sound. This is a unique house and will only be available for a limited time

Amazing Stay!

This is an awesome place to stay if visiting southwest harbor! It is out of the hustle and bustle of bar harbor, but only a short drive to hikes, Acadia, and the bar harbor town as well. It’s so nice to wake up and be able to enjoy the water views and sun rising of the water on the patio. We really enjoyed the stay and the host made it easy and great! The two downsides were having to vacuum b

A wonderful stay

The property and view are amazing. Exactly as listed and clean. I would still be there if I didn’t have to go back home. Words can’t describe how great waking up to harbor with the sunrise every morning actually is until you see it. Can’t thank the owner enough for providing such a great location.

Great little-big cottage!

Loved the craftsmanship of the cottage and the views were beautiful. Very spacious and had everything we needed. Well stocked kitchen and huge bathroom would maybe add some towel rings for hand towels in main bath. Loved Southwest Harbor and location was walkable to downtown and many restaurants. 20ish min drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Christie was awesome and even got lobster cooked to delivered to our place. Thanks for the stay in your beautiful cottage would love to come back!

What a lovely place. The kids were able to run down to the shore and throw rocks and explore. It was close to Acadia and other little day trips like the Cranberry Isles or deer isle. Christie thought of everything we would need. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the views were amazing.

Great getaway

The cottage is perfect for an Acadia, sw and Bar Harbor vacation! House is so comfortable and the deck view of SW Harbor are amazing. Local shops and restaurants are just great. Island Cruises is a must to see it from the water along with incredible wildlife viewing. This was a perfect getaway for our family!

Beautiful and comfortable home! Amazing harbor and sunrise views from master bedroom on the first floor and the living space on the second floor. Within walking distance of a couple restaurants. Quaint shops about 3 mins drive away. Great location to explore Acadia National Park on west and east side of Mount Dessert Island. The host (Christine) was wonderful and responded quickly to our concerns. A terrific place, especially in October!

Charming Cottage - Anniversary Retreat

Acadia has so much to offer and this home brings just as much with the updated living, amazing sunrises from your bed, beach access, and more. Having town in walking distance was a great bonus to walk over for breakfast or later in the evening for drinks. Our host was great with easy communication and clear instructions for check in and out! The only improvement suggestion is a coat hanger or rack when you walk in the home :)

A wonderful stay

Our family absolutely enjoyed our stay in this house while visiting Acadia National Park! It is very updated, very clean and super well stocked. The weather was not ideal during our stay, but we still enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the harbor in the rain and fog, very relaxing. Very close to the village of SWH, a grocery store and a few nice restaurants. Communication with the host was quick and smooth. Highly recommend.

We had an excellent vacation in this quiet and relaxing VRBO! The view from the master bedroom is fabulous and from the upper deck as well! The owner is easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything necessary for our stay! It has all the comforts of home and such unique and beautiful accessories throughout the entire house. It’s tucked back from all the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. We highly recommend this rental and hope to return one day soon!!

Another great stay!

This is our 4th year staying at this property in Southwest Harbor and as always, it was clean, comfortable and a great home away from home on vacation. Christie really keeps the house and amenities nicely updated, and this year we especially enjoyed the fire pit and the grilling area. The view from the house is amazing, and the walkable location to downtown is so convenient. This year, we also had friends stay at the cottage on the property and everyone had a great time. 5 stars are not enough for this property!
