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.

Beatiful house right on the harbor. No other neighbors and right on the water. You also get to watch boats go in and out all day. Within driving distance of many great places.

Really pretty

Very nice stay, clean, fun to be near harbor. As another reviewer wrote there is action early in am on dock so you will get waken up with boats being put out and such. The only thing that I had not looked at before booking was that checkout is at 9am! That was too early for us with kids but they were unable to change it to later. So if that’s an issue , especially if you have young kids , I would check with them before booking if they can give you a later checkout. Otherwise house is awesome.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful stay in mid June 2024. The house is even more beautiful in person and everything we could need was included. Each evening we sat on the porch with a glass of wine and watched the sailboats. It doesn’t get better than that! The A/C system was difficult to use but that could likely be user error :) Overall, we would recommend to all our friends and family!

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!

Great Place to Stay

This property redefines oceanfront. At high tide the water surrounds 3/4’s of the house. The house is beautiful and in a great location! The owners were very attentive and helpful. We loved it here. Only thing to note is that the property is next to a working boatyard. Work can start as early as 7:00 AM. For us it was really fascinating sitting on the deck and watching boats being lifted out of the water and put back in. Always something happening!

Great View of the Harbor

A beautiful location right on the waterfront in Southwest Harbor with a great view looking across toward Somes Sound. The house is as advertised and in beautiful condition. I have stayed at the location twice ( first time was before it was totally renovated and upgraded by the current owner). The only thing to be aware of is that the house sits right next to the Hinckley boatyard, that is a pretty busy place in the summer with big boats being frequently hauled and put back into the water. While that just adds another aspect of working harbor life, it can get a bit loud at times during the day with the equipment they use, especially in early morning. But since the house does have air conditioning, you do have the ability to shut the background noise out. Other than that, it is a perfect location to explore the island from.
