This was our third stay at this rental. The views are beautiful and the hot tub is a nice amenity. The host is very responsive to issues and problems. We are disappointed that over 4 years the property has not changed. There are signs of wear. The lighting in the precarious stairways is terrible ( be careful of the steps!) The microwave needed repair last visit and still does. The oven needs attention.unable to broil. The gas grill works well. There are ample dishes,pots,and pans. The beds are old and not very comfortable. The property is clean and there are plenty of towels. The kitchen was made for tall people. There is a stool to reach high shelves. The dishwasher and garbage disposal work well

We love Southwest Harbor and have stayed at Midship a few times now. Great property, great host and we love the view. It is on the quieter side and a condo.

I loved the location. I wish the back yard was better maintained. I don't really think the cleaning person does much. If the renter is to do the floors what is the cleaner doing. They definitely aren't dusting because things were dusty. There was a hair in the bathroom sink which grosses me out.

Great stay in Acadia

The property was great for our visit. We had two young adults enjoy the upstairs and to sleep in while we had the downstairs master and the use of the deck for our early morning breakfasts. We enjoyed being in the Southwest Harbor. You can walk to town for dinner and shopping, in addition to getting the bus to the park and Bar Harbor.

Great place to stay while exploring Acadia NP

During our week stay we enjoyed the accomodations providing our every need. We especially loved the view of the harbor from every floor. It was the perfect refuge between hikes during rainy weather. It was close enough to shops for teen daughters to explore on their own and the hot tub was so rejuvenating. Thank you for providing such a cozy beautiful backdrop for our family's wonderful memories!

Great place to stay while visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor

Nice condo with plenty of space and everything we needed for a lovely week. Beautiful view. We had a couple of minor issues. The property owner responded immediately to our messages and had the issues fixed quickly and professionally. Definitely recommend this property!

Great time!

We had a great time in Southwest Harbor. The Midships condo was very nice and comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub one morning when the fog was so thick that we didn't want to venture out. The area was quiet and we enjoyed watching the harbor in the evening as the sun went down. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

AWESOME vacation!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The view was gorgeous and we loved just sitting on the deck watching the activities of the harbor. Kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed to cook and eat our lobster from the fishing trip booked out of Southwest Harbor. The only caution I might mention is the steps from upstairs bedroom to kitchen and then kitchen to master bedroom level were quite steep and may present an issue to those with knee problems. We had a great stay and look forward to booking again!
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
Happy you enjoyed the view from the deck! Thanks for the steps advice...we always ensure our friends and guests are aware they are steep so that everyone is comfortable and has the best possible stay!
