Unique Marina Side Condo With Great Views And Fun Atmosphere!

It was such a pleasant surprise pulling up onto the fishing marina's pier and parking the car in front of the condo. We arrived at sunset, so before we even went into the condo we grabbed the cameras and captured the beauty that surrounded us. So serene. Just like the photos on VRBO. As we entered the condo we realized what a gem it is. Clean, well stocked, beautifully decorated and very homey. The bathrooms are very nice, the master bedroom is huge but the extra bedroom only had twin beds. That was one reason I did not give it a 5 star rating. For two couples renting on a vacation, it feels like if you get the twin bed room, you got the short end of the deal. It is a great room, but would be more suited for a family with 2 children. We loved the location on the island. Quiet with all you need nearby. It is obvious the owner cares about your stay. One last comment, do realize that someone is renting next to you and people live above you. There will be noises. But certainly not bad ones. We even enjoyed chatting with our neighbors. Thanks for the lovely stay!!

The pictures don’t do this place justice. It’s a great size and has more room than I thought it would. The location is perfect—close enough to walk into town but private enough to sit on the dock deck in the evening, by the water, with quiet. Southwest Harbor is an adorable town with lots of great food options. Christie was super easy to work with and very responsive. This is the place you want to stay!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Bow unit. It was like a home away from home, and had everything we needed. There were five of us, including a one-year-old, and we could not have asked for more. The little touches, such as games and books, as well as the high chair and play pen for our grandson were extra touches that you would not see at a motel. We loved the pancake mix and maple syrup (which we used all of), and the fully stocked kitchen.

The gas grill and the outdoor seating area were perfect on a cool July evening.

We loved the location, right at the marina, where we could see the rise and fall of the tide and the comings and goings of the boats. Despite being right at the marina, there were no noise issues at all. The building is very well insulated for sound, and we heard nothing from the other units.

This was our first trip to Acadia National Park but it won't be our last. And staying at this marina side condo was perfect for us in every way. It was clean, comfortable, spacious and had all the amenities needed to feel at home away from home. The views of the harbor were awesome, especially in the morning and the evening, and the location provided easy access to the park and other local sights and activities. When we plan our next trip to this area, we will definitely try to book another stay at this property!

Dysart’s Bow unit was extremely neat and very spacious for the three of us. There are plenty of comfortable options for sleeping. It was a great location for sightseeing in all of the area harbor towns and Acadia National Park. After a long day playing tourist and amateur photographer, it was wonderful to return to the picturesque marina and a quiet space to unwind. We highly recommend staying here to anyone who intends to visit the area.
