we started with having to find a neighbor who could contact the owner because the key code didn’t work; the kitchen utensils were dirty, the seating for dining was too low, the wife was spotty, the tv service was strange, the whole place had a funky odor that stayed on our clothing after we left and the only positive was a quiet and convenient setting with access to beautiful views of the harbor
The cottage on ClarkPoint was a great convenient location, and had all the amenities ( air-conditioner/dishwasher/laundry) a family could need. Nicely renovated kitchen too. Although there wasn't a view per say, the docks are a five minute lovely walk. David communicated in a timely fashion and made the stay easy. ( The house manual which addressed heating/cooling systems, garbage etc. did need rewritten, which the host said he is in the process of doing.) It was so nice to have our pet enjoy the vacation with us.
Easy reservation, clean space. Comfortable for family of 5 and a dog. Close to shops in South Harbor. Easy driving to all other attractions along Bar Harbor. Would definitely reserve this place again.
My husband, my pup and I loved staying here this week. We arrived to a clean welcoming home, easily found in the dark, and settled right in. We brought everything with us for food and drink and we didn’t wish for anything once we got there for kitchen ware, etc. Being dog friendly was a huge plus and the area was comfortable for dog walking in the am/ pm with lots of hikes close by for day time romps. I fell in love with the area (again) so we will be back and I wouldn’t hesitate to check on availability here!! Thank you.
We had a great stay at David's place. The setup was perfect for my wife and I, along with our 1yr old daughter. Spent our days hiking/exploring the beautiful area around us. David's communication was excellent as well. We would absolutely stay here again!
The house was very clean. Well stocked kitchen. We had a couple of questions and the owners were very quick to respond. Recommend this property for small families.

About the host
Hosted by David Shipman
Thanks for checking out my home in Southwest Harbor! I relocated from Pennsylvania to Maine after falling in love with Acadia National Park. The best parts of Maine are the rugged rocky coast, the smell of the salt air combined with the forests of balsam pine. We also have some great local food with lobster (of course!), blueberries and beer.
As an avid traveler for both fun and work, I’ve visited 49 of 50 states (see you soon Alaska!) and probably the same number of countries. I started working with vacation rentals after a visit to a charming Caribbean cabin on the island of Carriacou, which is part of Grenada. I love hiking and recently completed a hike to 17600 feet or 5560m to Everest Base Camp in Nepal. My vacations usually involve some aspect of hiking .
Why they chose this property
This is a lovely small house that is convenient to everything on the island. It’s is located in town but due to the setback from the road, it has a very private feel.
What makes this property unique
Gas fireplace Outdoor space Walkable to downtown On the Acadia Explorer bus route (seasonal) Available year round Pet Friendly
