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!

Location is wonderful- walking distance to town and the town pier. Friendly neighborhood. The cottage is lovely- comfortable, bright and very clean. King bed was so comfortable. Plenty of room. Well stocked with towels and linens, board games, maps of the area. We had a wonderful stay and didn’t want to leave!

AMAZING!

Truly special! This was my first time ever trying something other than a hotel and it far exceeded my expectations. The property is the perfect stay for anyone visiting the town or going to visit Acadia National Park! It is a great drive to Acadia National Park and you truly get to experience all of what the Island has to offer! Truly recommend this property to anyone who is visiting the area!!

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.

Perfect Southwest Harbor location

The Upper Deck unit was bright and sunny (as were all the days we visited in mid September!). It is the perfect location to walk to the little village to shop or eat - or to catch the wonderful and convenient Explore Bus. Despite its close location to town, the setting is quiet, with views of the harbor. We also enjoyed being able to bike to Seawall and beyond to Bass Harbor lighthouse. The unit itself was very clean, the bed comfortable, loved the electric "fireplaces" under the TV in living room and bedroom. We would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable apartment in a great location

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was within easy driving distance of Acadia National Park and many other sites we wanted to visit. The neighborhood was easy to navigate and the apartment was easy to find. It was a safe, secure location in a safe neighborhood. I would recommend this apartment to friends and would stay here again.

Wonderful Property, Excellent Views, Great Host

Upon entry, we were immediately pleased. In fact, we booked again for next year during the first day. Host Christie provided supplies like soap, coffee, sweetner, TP, paper towel, cleaning supplies, 2 bags of ice, firewood, sponge, etc. Equipment included a commercial grade firepit, new heavy duty easy-to-use grill just steps outside our door, toaster oven, magic bullet for blending, electric stovetop with pots, pans, stovetop griddle, and frying pan, coffee maker, AC and ceiling fan in both the living room and bedroom, and for cooler times, small gas heaters that look like fireplaces in both rooms. But the big deal for us was the 180 view of the harbor from the deck (where we ate our meals when there) and even from the living/dining room. We could open the windows in the living/dining area on two sides and turn on the ceiling fan, and get a wonderful cross breeze. Another awesome thing was the firepit, where we made s'mores and looked up at the stars. The property is within walking distance to the main street of SW Harbor and just diwn the street from Abels Lobster Pier, which also has good pick up to 900 PM. It is also very close to many parts of Acadia National Park, including swimming area Echo Lake. Bar Harbor is just a few minutes' dri

Quiet Get Away

We absolutely loved our stay at the Top Deck. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was a quiet oasis. You’re close to trails and it is an adorable little town that you can easily walk to. If you’re interested in going to Bar Harbor for a day or two, it’s just about a 30 minute drive. There are so many quaint towns nearby for you to explore. I want to also recommend MDI Lobster Co which is literally down the road; it’s delicious and has a fantastic view of the harbor. I would definitely stay again when up in ME.
