Great spot! Incredible views, walking distance to Southwest Harbor. The stairs could be challenging for someone with mobility issues. There’s plenty of hand soap, but bring your own body soap, shampoo, etc!

My wife, my daughter, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Southwest Harbor! The condo was clean, comfortable, and close to everything. I would absolutely visit Mt. Desert Island and stay here again! Acadia is a treasure!

Quiet Getaway

We loved everything about this place. It was just the right size for our family of 6. We loved the hot tub, quiet evenings, sunsets, and proximity to so many things. Highly recommend!

Clean, cozy and beautiful view!

Our family of three had a wonderful week at Port! Great, private location with easy walk to town and all the amenities. We had fun exploring the island overall and enjoyed the hot tub and private dock. We look forward to returning to Port the next time we're in Maine.

We loved staying in the quiet side and watching yachts and lobster boats coming and going from the harbor. We walked into town several times. The home was perfect for the 4 of us and had everything we needed! Host was very responsive to questions. Would definitely recommend.

Great setting in Southwest Harbor

Our family really enjoyed our stay in Southwest Harbor. Watching the boats coming in and out of the harbor was awesome. We hiked and biked throughout Acadia and it was great to return at the end of the day to this peaceful, well maintained, and beautiful home. Thank you for a fantastic vacation!

Beautiful despite the fog

We loved the location of the VRBO home. It was in a sleepy Maine area close enough to walk to restaurants and shops. The view was beautiful. Soaking in the hot tub after long hikes was dreamy.

Awesome as always!

We just completed our 8th year staying here and it never disappoints. You can’t beat the views from the deck or the proximity to restaurants and local attractions. Every year we say how thankful we found this spot on the “quiet side”!

Fantastic place

This was my first time trying a VRBO stay. This property was exactly as pictured, clean and had organized and well though out check in and check out process. It is in a great location for visiting Bar Harbor and the Acaida National Park. It is a place I hope to stay at again. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Marvelous Maine

South Harbor is about half an hour from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and the main portion of Acadia national Park. We enjoyed being able to escape to our quiet little house located right on South Harbor while staying close enough to Acadia to do all the hiking and eat all the lobster that we wanted.

Great Location and View

Great location. Easy walk to shops and restaurants in Southwest Harbor. Beautiful view overlooking the harbor. Fun space with a loft bed, and nice amenities with the hot tub, dock, and deck. Some furnishings and finishes were starting to look a little worn, but all in all a great place to stay.

We absolutely loved everything about our stay in Southwest Harbor! The condo was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located close to grocery stores, restaurants, hiking trails, and Acadia National Park. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, dishes, pots, pans and gas grill. We especially enjoyed hanging out on the dock with our beach chairs in the afternoon, soaking in the hot tub, warming up at night by the chimene (lots of firewood provided), watching sunrises, and peaceful evenings.You can’t beat the views from the deck, and we’re so thankful we discovered this gem on the “quiet side.” Acadia is truly a treasure, and this spot made it easy to enjoy it all. We highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again!

Quiet gem on the quiet side with AMAZING view

Very well kept and clean. Far enough off of the Main Street with great parking. No need for a sunrise pass to Cadillac! We enjoyed it right from our living room couch. Would definitely rent again! Reached out to owner about one small thing and responded right away.

The view is truly priceless! We also enjoyed the hot tub after hiking the nearby trails each day. Quiet location and never heard the neighbor next door. We have stayed at many VRBO properties and this was the first time we have been asked to sweep and the vacuum the floors on departure!

To us, heaven on earth

We are retired and getting a bit to old to navigate a sail boat. We loved the view looking at all the boats coming and going. We visited Bar Harbor, Acadia Park, We ate the best food from Little Notch Bakery. Try the blueberry pie. Its to die for. Thank you for your rental it had all we needed to feel at home.

Fabulous hideaway!

Our stay at "Port" was amazing. From the minute we entered and saw the spectacular view of the harbor, to enjoying the comfortable amenities of the property and SWH , the daily adventures of driving around the island, hiking, dining, shopping AND lots and lots and lots of delicious lobster and mussels...one of the best vacations ever. Having the hot tub was an added bonus , again with that spectacular view. The property is well maintained, offers comfort and felt like a home away from home. The owners/management are highly responsive to your needs. We made a great choice coming here! Couple from Reston, VA
