About this property

Family Home Overlooking the Harbor Easily Walkable to Town

The Stanley home is a comfortable 2 bedroom family home nestled at the top of the hill at the end of a dead end road. The property includes a large back deck with patio set and grill for barbeque on summer nights. With an attached fenced in play yard for your pet and a large unfenced area out back for children to play, this is the perfect property for a family getaway.

You can choose to enjoy the quiet, nature filled back yard by the orchard or simply walk out the front door for ocean views. Just down the hill is a popular spot for photographers to capture the sunrise over the harbor. This home is a short 1/2 mile walk to restaurants and shopping in Southwest Harbor and provides easy access to hiking trails and Acadia National Park. In the summer and fall this rental is walking distance to weekly farmers markets and art vendors.

A few notes about the set up of the house:
1. Both bedrooms are on the second floor. The bathroom is on the first floor.
2. There is a bar style table in the kitchen that seats four people elbow to elbow. There is a more traditional dining set up on the back deck.

Ocean breezes and Beautiful harbor views

Lovely home base for exploring the natural beauty of Acadia and Maine coastline. My dog loved the fenced, private backyard and I appreciated the pet friendly, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Well appointed, and as described, but views and location surpassed expectations! I would definitely stay here again!

Acadia girls trip

We totally loved the location in less hectic SW Harbor…The house had everything we needed, and the fenced in yard was great for the pup. We had an issue with the TV that the owner quickly solved. Make sure to hike Ship Harbor close by…a little gem of an area. We stayed 5 days and had a great time exploring and hiking Acadia.

The perfect place for our family of four, with two teenagers, to rest up from our day adventures exploring Acadia national park for the first time! I cannot say enough good things about this house and host. It was so clean and relaxing and Ashley answered all of my questions! Ps, look for seals in the harbor at sunset/low tide what a treat to see right down the street! I will miss this place and hope to return!

We had a lovely stay at Ashley’s home- tucked away at the end of a quiet street, surrounded by a small orchard. It was very clean and super comfy. We walked into Southwest Harbor at least once daily for coffee, a meal or ice cream. Accessing the rest of the island was easy to do via car or the Island Explorer. Our dog loved the fenced in backyard and it was nice to not worry about where she might wander off to. We saw a group of young bucks wander through the orchard in early evenings from the back porch. The front porch had a lovely view of the harbor, best enjoyed in the morning with a cup of coffee.

Great Location for Acadia

The house is perfect for a visit to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Location is close to all the highlights of the park and in a quiet neighborhood. The view of the harbor is super. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard which was a bonus. The property is full of character and has great charm. The living space and bedrooms are spacious. The kitchen has everything you need, just bring your groceries. Due to the weather we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor area, but the back deck and front porch are nice both with nice views. There are several nice places to eat within walking distance.

Great house for the family

We've stayed here a few times with our kids and dogs, and they all look forward to coming back again. Great location on the quiet side of the island, nice view of the harbor down the road, and a fenced in backyard for the dogs and kids to play in. An outstanding place to relax!

We loved our stay in Southwest Harbor

The house was absolutely perfect for our mini honeymoon in Southwest Harbor. We had our two dogs with us who loved being able to run around in the fully fenced yard. The house was super comfortable, well supplied and very clean. The location is on the "quiet side" of the island so we enjoyed a great meal but also drove over to Bar Harbor quite a bit for other activities. We'd definitely stay here again!

Super house and location

4 senior adults and two standard poodles. We all really enjoyed our stay (four nights). Place is super clean and well equipped. We would have enjoyed an indoor table and chairs as the evenings were cooler in October. We ate in the evenings at the bar in the kitchen. Great map of the park on the wall that we enjoyed discussing our plans for the next day!

Perfect week at Acadia

We had such a lovely time in Acadia, and this property was the perfect launching point for our time on MDI. From the deck out back to the light-filled kitchen, we used all of the space on this great property. We had wonderful communication with the owner and everything went smoothly. What a great place!

Southwest Harbor on the Bay

Nice two bedroom house. Full size Washer/ Dryer. Host provided laundry soap, dish soap, shampoo, body wash. The towels were nice also. Full kitchen with all needed utensils, basic spices, and a nice dishwasher. House was on the end of the street with no outlet so literally zero traffic. Short walk to the harbor and town. Really enjoyed our stay.
