Great rental in Southwest Harbor

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was clean, matched the pictures, in a convenient location, had a great view and a smooth check in process. It was a great option for our first trip to Acadia and I wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

We loved this adorable apartment! It was so bright and cheerful. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. This was perfect place to relax after spending all day in Acadia. The pancake mix, syrup, and coffee was a wonderful treat. There was plenty of parking. The apartment is within walking distance of restaurants and shops. If we ever have the opportunity to visit SW Harbor again, we will definitely stay here.

We loved staying on the quiet side for our adventures in Acadia. The space was exactly as described, and very clean and comfortable. Easy walk into town for dinner, ice cream, and a few shops. Easy drive to some of the most amazing hiking and kayaking! You really can’t see or walk to the harbor immediately from the rental, but the property is lovely. We would recommend it for sure!

Just what we wanted.

The Top Deck Retreat was just what we wanted - a clean, comfortable, roomy place that was in a walkable area, with easy access to ANP. Communication with the host was excellent and instructions for use of the retreat were clear and concise. We hope to return.

30th Anniversary Trip

It was a wonderful place to visit and see all the sights, shops and restaurants. The towns from Boston to Bar Harbor were great stops to see. My husband enjoyed the lobster rolls and I especially enjoyed the clam chowder. Our host was perfect for her quaint place! Would love to come back again some day.

Capt Mayo House for the win!

Our stay was nothing short of perfect. From the beginning Christie made everything very easy and was quick in her responses. The pictures online matched exactly where we were staying and it was spotless when we arrived. The area was quiet and within walking distance to shops/restaurants downtown Southwest Harbor. We had no concerns while we were staying and will gladly look into staying here again when we venture back up to Maine!
