Our family of four generations and one lively Lab spent a wonderful week at Harbor Watch in July, 2011. Wish we could have stayed longer! There was enough room for all 12 of us and the kitchen was very well appointed, There is enough room for four+ people prepping and cooking in there! Having private bathrooms and the washer and dryer were fantastic! The owners were very attentive and caretakers polite and efficient! We will be back, no doubt about it!

We had a wonderful and memorable time during our vacation in Acadia this past week. Harbor Watch was a special place. It was very comfortable and felt like a home away from home. Everyone enjoyed the wonderful views of the harbor from the deck and bedrooms. The kids also had a great time. I think you should put some more photos of the views and all the rooms in your advertisement in VRBO. The current pictures don't do justice to the place. If we do plan to visit Acadia again, we would love to stay at Harbor Watch for a longer period.

Thank you so much for the use of your home. This was the perfect place for two people who love nature and the outdoors. We loved everything about the house! Especially watching the sailboats come and go in the harbor while drinking wine from Bar Harbor Cellars on the deck! Thank you so much!

We loved your wonderful home. So LARGE, and yet so cozy. We felt comfortable from the minute we walked in until the very sad minute we had to leave. Walking to town was an added "plus" as was the terrific weather. Our children and grandchildren did not want to leave, nor did we. A beautiful area of the country with so much to do including swimming, boating, biking, hiking, shopping, and LOBSTERS galore - and a whole lot more. Thanks for use of your beautiful home and we hope to come back often.

We had a blast, Mt. Desert Island is perfect. We found out that lobster can be $3.45 a pound! The hikes are amazing. We enjoyed the convenience of the town right down the street. We also enjoyed the rooms and their comfortable beds. We loved the view of the harbor from the deck. (from CT, NJ, NC, MT, and NY)

We had a beautiful week on MDI! The weather was perfect and we were able to do so many great outdoor activities: biking, hiking, lobster and seal cruise, Sand Beach, and Echo Lake to name a few. We enjoyed cooking our own lobsters from Beale's along with some local restaurants: Harbor Head Inn, Jordon Pond House and the Parkside in Bar Harbor. Thank you for providing such wonderful accomodations! We loved your home's comfort for large groups! The private bedroom areas and spacious common areas were ideal! We would love to return to Harbor Watch again!

We had a great time on MDI. Our 8 adults and 7 children enjoyed the spaciousness of the home and the sunny days!

Thank you again so much for hosting this reunion of old friends. You made us feel welcome and at home; your home works so well for a large group: places to be alone and places to be together. I'll remember conversations and laughter around the table, meals that were fun to cook together, enjoying the sun on the deck, and the cozy evenings around the fireplace. All of our adventures in the park were special - the picnic at the seawall, the hike along Long Pond, our faboulous bike ride to Jordan Pond House - and our gratitude when you, our rescuer, arrived to cart us home! I hate leaving, but will remember fondly our days at Harbor Watch.

"Make new friends, but keep the old: one is silver and the other is gold." So special to reconnect with old friends here in your cozy home in Southwest Harbor and to find new friends too! That 9.3 mile bike ride from the ANP Visitor's Center to Jordan Pond was a highlight for sure! Lobster birthday dinner [at Harbor Watch] overlooking the harbor was also tops. We thank you for the memories, your gracious hospitality and friendship.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with me. I had a fabulous time and am looking forward to coming back again. Harbor Watch is the perfect place on the Quiet Side of the island. I loved the Long Pond hike, the Tree Walk, Jordan Pond tea, the Whale/Puffin Watch, the wonderful meals and views and friends new and old.
