We had a wonderful stay! The views were stunning, the home was spacious and clean, and this was by far the most well stocked Vrbo we have ever stayed in. Cooking in the kitchen was as easy as being at home everything was so organized and readily available. We will definitely look into staying here if we ever return to Southwest Harbor.
Cleanest rental we have ever had!! Great harbor views. Speedy communication with rental company in booking and to resolve a pool maintenance issue that was unavoidable. Southwest Harbor was a perfect little town. So happy we stayed here for the week. Would love to come stay again.
This property was an amazing place to stay and is just as nice as the pictures. From the decks outside the living room and main bedroom, you have great views of the harbor. The kitchen is very well equipped with all of the cooking, baking, and dining supplies you'll need: baking dishes, pots, skillets, cutlery, utensils, silverware, plates, bowls, etc. With four floors there's plenty of room for a large family to be together or spread out. The beds are comfortable, the showers are very well kept, and everywhere is clean. There are air conditioners that keep the home cool in the summer, and many baseboards that doubtless provide plenty of heat on cold winter nights. Across the street you have access to the pier in the harbor where you can fish or just take in the view, and controlled access means you won't need to fight any crowds. The home is located not far from the center or town, making it a short drive or bike ride to the shops and restaurants. If you make your way to Bar Harbor you'll be happy you can return to the quiet side of the Isla to relax. The hosts are excellent communicators and provide all of the information you need before you arrive, as well as instructions for checking out. If I return to the area I would certainly stay here again.

Stephen,
Thank you for taking great care of the property during your visit and your communication, including helpful feedback. We appreciate your note and hope you can return!
Kindest regards,

If I were coming back to Acadia, I would absolutely rent this place again. It was the cleanest VRBO I've ever stayed in and most well stocked. We preferred to be in a peaceful location, and it was certainly that. The view is beautiful! We literally drive all over the Island and to winter harbor, and the location was ideal for us. The teens loved having the fourth floor to themselves and slept up there. The laundry room was huge and the mud room was great! We also loved the decks with this being an end unit. Plenty of room for a family! The only thing v I couldn't find was an iron, but that was no big deal. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We hope you visit us again!
Kind regards,

Highly recommend staying at the Grandview! Very well equipped. Super clean & comfortable. Beautiful view. Close enough to trails without being in the congestion of Bar Harbor.

So happy to hear that you enjoyed and recommend the Grandview!! It was a pleasure hosting you.

The property is fabulous. But my only issue was operating the heating and cooling systems. It's anything but intuitive. This condo has two heat pump systems with 2 indoor units on one and 3 on the other. Additionally, there are 15 baseboard heaters, controlled separate from the Heat Pumps with each having its own wall thermostat.Better and more elaborate operating instructions would help.

Hi Matthew,
Thank you so much for the review! We are absolutely delighted that you enjoyed the property.
We completely understand that navigating multiple heat pump systems alongside individual baseboard thermostats can be a bit tricky to manage. Thanks to your feedback, the owner updated their heating and AC operating instructions for the townhouse.
Also, for our guests' peace of mind, we want to remind everyone that we offer nights and weekends on-call assistance for any questions or troubleshooting needs that may arise.
Thank you again for staying with us and for helping us improve.
Kind regards,
Marla on behalf of the owners and rental team
