Welcome to "Harbor Daze"!

This charming, three-bedroom, two-bath house offers an open living area, private backyard, and a huge deck with spectacular views of Southwest Harbor. Immaculate and comfortable, this house is an ideal place to just relax or use as a home base for all your vacation activities. Whether you are in the fully-appointed kitchen, sunny dining area, or relaxing on the couch, the nautical motif, cathedral ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows provide a light and airy feel and great views of the harbor. Sit at the desk in the loft to write out your postcards while taking in the view. Even the master bedroom has a sneak-peak view of the harbor through an octagon-shaped window.

Enjoy the sunrise over the harbor as you sip your morning coffee on the deck and watch the harbor come to life. Then enjoy all that the island has to offer, but be sure to be back in time to catch the breathtaking sunset. As the sun sets behind you, watch the light illuminate the boats in bright white with a pink glow on the entire harbor.

Situated on the "quiet side" of the island, you can enjoy the real Downeast Maine away from the crowds, but still be within minutes of world-famous Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The house is located in the quaint village of Southwest Harbor where you can take a stroll into town and explore unique shops, fabulous restaurants, museums, antique shops, an oceanarium, and much more. Or, walk to the marina and watch the lobstermen bring in their catch. You can even buy a fresh lobster while you are there! Rent a boat locally or take the water taxi to explore the waters and islands surrounding Mount Desert Island.

The house is located minutes from world-famous Acadia National Park, which offers crystal-clear lakes, sandy and rocky beaches, rocky shorelines, beautifully maintained hiking and biking carriage trails, mountains to hike or drive, and so much more. Opportunities for whale watching, boat rentals and charters, fishing, swimming, tennis, shopping, kayaking, hiking, and many more are within minutes. You can explore all that the park has to offer by yourself, take a guided tour or take Mount Desert Island's new bus, the "Island Explorer," available to the public FREE of charge! Destinations include just about anywhere you want to go on the island. There are also a number of outfitters located on Mount Desert Island that rent bicycles and kayaks as well.

Just ten miles to Bar Harbor and you can enjoy a wide variety of activities from the most relaxed to the most rigorous, dining for all tastes and budgets, and shopping in many unique shops and galleries.

Regardless of your interests, this house and the surrounding attractions are sure to make for a fulfilling vacation!
