Elegant oceanfront home on Southwest Harbor minutes to trails and village center

Watch the video at the end of the photos that displays all aspects of this beautiful cottage and it's surroundings. This adorable sea side cottage located on the pebble beach of SW Harbor is literally over hanging the water at high tide. A second floor master king suite with private balcony, bath, wet bar and refrigerator has a magnificent view of the harbor and mountains of Acadia National Park. The second bedroom is a queen suite with private entrance to the first floor balcony. Just 2 miles to Seawall Beach of Acadia, an easy bike ride or walk for many. Some may not leave the cottage at all and just watch the boating activity from the large relaxing decks. If you do explore the island, you'll find many beautiful hikes, shops, restaurants, golf, museums, cinemas and more .

Lovely stay!

Absolutely lovely house, well equipped, tastefully decorated, and spacious for a family of four! We had a great time - including during a very grey and rainy day when it was delightful to spend time in the house and watch the weather over the bay. Would come back any time!

Weekend Getaway

A friend and I try to get to SW Harbor every spring. We booked this property for the first time and it did not disappoint. The view from the deck was tremendous, especially when watching the large boats being put into the water. Would book again with no hesitations.

Clean, newly renovated, beautiful harbor view, away from the park and downtown bar harbor area.

This cottage was very comfortable for my family of 4. It’s supremely clean, well thought thru new interiors, well stocked with the essentials. Great views of the harbor from the 2 level decks, specially from the upstairs queen suite. It was a rainy weekend but the house was super cozy to stay in! However the listing doesn’t mention it’s a stand alone cottage next to a port. It was interesting to see them dock the yatch etc but would have been nice to know. Another nice to know inside the house would have been that the upstairs queen suite is accessible via a spiral staircase and that the bedroom doesn’t have a door The downstairs bedroom is sort of tight around the bed, has a door which is covered by curtains but no option to lock.

We had a great time at your house. The area is quiet and quaint. Our boys enjoyed waking up to the beautiful views off the deck. The only negative is that we couldn't find the kayaks to use and the downstairs bedroom was very hot.

Perfect SW Harbor Overlook

This is a beautiful property, stretching right over Southwest Harbor, providing all amenities – even Bluetooth built-in ceiling speakers throughout. The views are stunning, watching Hinckley yachts in action is beautiful - the back porch is a perfect place for meals, and there is more than ample space inside as well. Living quarters are apple, the bedrooms, beautiful. Three bathrooms! Perfect. Can’t wait to come back.

Wonderful Rental

The property was perfectly located, it was immaculate and the amenities were extensive. It had everything you could have wanted. We were there just before hurricane Lee and watching the Hinkley crews remove the boats from the water was entertaining. we look forward to staying there again. Dealings with our host were quick efficient and responsive. Thank you!
