Acadia vacation

We used the property as a base for hiking in Acadia and it was perfect. Southwest Harbor is a lovely little town - much quieter than Bar Harbor but with easy access to everything. The kitchen was great - much better fitted out than a lot of places, with lots of pots and pans and everything you might need. We'd definitely stay here again. Also the manager was extremely responsive.

Comfy Nest in a Great Location

We felt very cozy in this apartment. One thing that should be pointed out is that it is 17 steps up a very steep set of stairs that are so narrow you have to walk up and down with sideways feet. Other than that it was comfortable and all worked well.

Yes, this is a second floor apartment, with an outdoor stair way and landing. We did offer to move you to the first floor, but you opted to stay put. I am so glad you did! Both apartments are so close to amenities, and well appointed. Thank you for your great review, we appreciate you! Simply Rentals USA

Acadia Adventure

We had a wonderful time staying here at the property. The place was clean, the check-in process was simple, the bed was actually really nice. I've stayed at a bunch of places and this bed was one of the softest; you know when you've had to sleep on a rock how important that is.The road was a little noisy outside but that was really only an issue once it hit around 8 am, and I'm awake before that regardless. I also don't count that as a strike against the property, it is what it is, but should still be said.Overall would stay again.

Stay on the quiet side!

This is a great base from which to explore all of Acadia NP and Mount Desert Island. Southwest Harbor is small but charming—unlike busy Bar Harbor, which is still only ~20 minutes away. The suite is perfect for a couple, and quite comfortable. Only issue is that the road is a bit busier than we expected, but during the day when you’re out having fun it’s not a concern, and at night we just shut the windows, turned on the fan and AC, and slept quite comfortably. All in all, definite recommend.

Comfy attic-like apartment

Very comfy bed, nice living area. Very small table, but we made it work for meals. Be prepared to climb quite a number of very steep exterior stairs to get in & out of the unit. Didn’t put garbage outside as the barrels were o reflowing & crows were scattering trash.

Yes! This is a second floor apartment. The trendy decor and amazing bathroom make it a special place to land at the end of a long day. The cute balcony seating is great for your morning coffee before the local hikes minutes from the apartment. So sorry about the garbage, it was a busy holiday weekend! We do try our best!

Quaint Place on Quiet Side of Island (Acadia)

Overall, a quaint place to stay if you want to enjoy the quieter side of Acadia. You do still have road noise - so make sure to check if windows are open. Also, I did not realize that no tables / foldable tv trays were no available. So, it did make it more challenging. Another thing is I am used to some amount of coffee being provided besides the coffee maker. The location is very good and you can walk to some local restaurants and shops that very good and fun to go to.

Mary, we appreciate your great review! The clean and trendy apartment is super close to amenities. I am sure you saw the table and two chairs beside the kitchen island, I would sit there to eat! We do not supply coffee, only tp, papertowels, soaps, linens, towels, etc! I hope you walked one block to the coffee shop! So glad you got to enjoy the "quiet side" of the island. We appreciate you!

The apartment is conveniently located on Mount Desert Island to explore Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor (20-25 minute drive). Although it's on a major road, it was quiet. The bathroom was small but clean and well appointed (good water pressure in the shower).However, when we arrived the bedding in the master bedroom hadn't been changed and the space behind the sofa couch was dirty. There were also only 3 chairs in the apartment and a limited number of available glasses and cutlery. Overall the apartment is too small to comfortably accommodate 4 people (we were 2 adults and 2 children). The ceilings are very low and it's quite dark inside. The host promptly responded to our complaints and brought a change of bedding. When we arrivedTo sum up, the apartment would be suitable for 2 people for a short-term stay (max. 2 days), if you plan to eat out most of the time.

Great location

This place is in an excellent location, close to so many things to do but out of the hubbub of busy Bar Harbor. This upstairs apartment is cute and with a little attention could be perfect. It had nearly everything we needed (and Susan quickly arranged to have missing pillows delivered). Upon our arrival, the space smelled musty due to it being a warm day and all the windows closed and a/c turned off. A good airing out before guests arrive would help. The sofa bed mattress was really lumpy, but tbh, I’ve never found a sofa bed that was comfy. The sheets on the main bed also smelled musty. The towel rack in the bathroom was pulled out of the wall. Also, it would be helpful if the parking spaces were marked (#1,#2,#3) because there are three separate units sharing the three parking spaces. A couple of times the guests staying in the back unit parked behind our car making it difficult to get out of our space. None of these issues were insurmountable, and for the price, this place worked well for us. My daughter and I had a lovely stay in Southwest Harbor. Highlights: -Lunch at the Travelin’ Lobster -Drinks and snacks at Bowsprit Bar at The Harbour Cottage Inn -Dinner at Peter Trout’s Tavern (that fish sandwich!!!) -Coffee and bagels at Milagro Coffee -Found starfish at Tidal Falls Preserve -Cadillac Summit drive -Cider Tasting at Bon Vent -Wonderland Trail hike -Charlotte Rhoades Butterfly Garden
