We used the property as a base for hiking in Acadia and it was perfect. Southwest Harbor is a lovely little town - much quieter than Bar Harbor but with easy access to everything. The kitchen was great - much better fitted out than a lot of places, with lots of pots and pans and everything you might need. We'd definitely stay here again. Also the manager was extremely responsive.

A great apartment to stay in during our visit to Acadia. Nicely painted and decorated. Plenty of room. Nice, comfortable bed. Great little deck for relaxing after a long hike.

We had a wonderful time staying here at the property. The place was clean, the check-in process was simple, the bed was actually really nice. I've stayed at a bunch of places and this bed was one of the softest; you know when you've had to sleep on a rock how important that is.The road was a little noisy outside but that was really only an issue once it hit around 8 am, and I'm awake before that regardless. I also don't count that as a strike against the property, it is what it is, but should still be said.Overall would stay again.

Tim,
Thank you so much for your time filling out a quick and positive review regarding your stay with us at the Suites.
We are pleased to know that despite the slight inconvenience of the traffic, that you were able to enjoy your stay!. We find it very important to ensure that our guests have all that they need to have a relaxing and well deserved vacation!
Happy to hear as well that during your stay you were able to take full advantage of a good nights rest on a soft bed. We would be honored to help serve you again on your next vacation!
Thank you
We felt very cozy in this apartment. One thing that should be pointed out is that it is 17 steps up a very steep set of stairs that are so narrow you have to walk up and down with sideways feet. Other than that it was comfortable and all worked well.

Yes, this is a second floor apartment, with an outdoor stair way and landing. We did offer to move you to the first floor, but you opted to stay put. I am so glad you did! Both apartments are so close to amenities, and well appointed. Thank you for your great review, we appreciate you! Simply Rentals USA
This is a great base from which to explore all of Acadia NP and Mount Desert Island. Southwest Harbor is small but charming—unlike busy Bar Harbor, which is still only ~20 minutes away. The suite is perfect for a couple, and quite comfortable. Only issue is that the road is a bit busier than we expected, but during the day when you’re out having fun it’s not a concern, and at night we just shut the windows, turned on the fan and AC, and slept quite comfortably. All in all, definite recommend.

The apartment is conveniently located on Mount Desert Island to explore Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor (20-25 minute drive). Although it's on a major road, it was quiet. The bathroom was small but clean and well appointed (good water pressure in the shower).However, when we arrived the bedding in the master bedroom hadn't been changed and the space behind the sofa couch was dirty. There were also only 3 chairs in the apartment and a limited number of available glasses and cutlery. Overall the apartment is too small to comfortably accommodate 4 people (we were 2 adults and 2 children). The ceilings are very low and it's quite dark inside. The host promptly responded to our complaints and brought a change of bedding. When we arrivedTo sum up, the apartment would be suitable for 2 people for a short-term stay (max. 2 days), if you plan to eat out most of the time.

Thank you, Nathalie, for your feedback. I’m glad you appreciated the convenience of the location and cleanliness. I sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered regarding the bedding and amenities. Your insights are invaluable, and we are committed to improving the experience for future guests. We hope to welcome you back for a more enjoyable stay.
Very comfy bed, nice living area. Very small table, but we made it work for meals. Be prepared to climb quite a number of very steep exterior stairs to get in & out of the unit. Didn’t put garbage outside as the barrels were o reflowing & crows were scattering trash.

Yes! This is a second floor apartment. The trendy decor and amazing bathroom make it a special place to land at the end of a long day. The cute balcony seating is great for your morning coffee before the local hikes minutes from the apartment. So sorry about the garbage, it was a busy holiday weekend! We do try our best! Thank you for your feedback, it means so much to us.

Overall, a quaint place to stay if you want to enjoy the quieter side of Acadia. You do still have road noise - so make sure to check if windows are open. Also, I did not realize that no tables / foldable tv trays were no available. So, it did make it more challenging. Another thing is I am used to some amount of coffee being provided besides the coffee maker. The location is very good and you can walk to some local restaurants and shops that very good and fun to go to.

Mary, we appreciate your great review! The clean and trendy apartment is super close to amenities. I am sure you saw the table and two chairs beside the kitchen island, I would sit there to eat! We do not supply coffee, only tp, papertowels, soaps, linens, towels, etc! I hope you walked one block to the coffee shop! So glad you got to enjoy the "quiet side" of the island. We appreciate you!

This place is in an excellent location, close to so many things to do but out of the hubbub of busy Bar Harbor. This upstairs apartment is cute and with a little attention could be perfect. It had nearly everything we needed (and Susan quickly arranged to have missing pillows delivered). Upon our arrival, the space smelled musty due to it being a warm day and all the windows closed and a/c turned off. A good airing out before guests arrive would help. The sofa bed mattress was really lumpy, but tbh, I’ve never found a sofa bed that was comfy. The sheets on the main bed also smelled musty. The towel rack in the bathroom was pulled out of the wall. Also, it would be helpful if the parking spaces were marked (#1,#2,#3) because there are three separate units sharing the three parking spaces. A couple of times the guests staying in the back unit parked behind our car making it difficult to get out of our space. None of these issues were insurmountable, and for the price, this place worked well for us. My daughter and I had a lovely stay in Southwest Harbor.
Highlights:
-Lunch at the Travelin’ Lobster
-Drinks and snacks at Bowsprit Bar at The Harbour Cottage Inn
-Dinner at Peter Trout’s Tavern (that fish sandwich!!!)
-Coffee and bagels at Milagro Coffee
-Found starfish at Tidal Falls Preserve
-Cadillac Summit drive
-Cider Tasting at Bon Vent
-Wonderland Trail hike
-Charlotte Rhoades Butterfly Garden
