The large deck is a perfect place to grill or to watch the busy activity on the ocean. Step down from the deck to the shore on a soft pine needle path. Enjoy the home's beautiful professional landscaping. Walk to the charming village of Southwest Harbor or to the free Island Explorer bus which will carry you and your bikes throughout Mt. Desert and Acadia National Park.

Why they chose this property

Summer in Maine! Whatever you have heard is true. We discoverd Mt. Desert Island, Acadia National Park and Southwest Harbor in the 1970's and every summer has been wonderful. So many things to do. Never enough time, so we have to return year after year.

What makes this property unique

The house is steps from Somes Sound with beach to play, wade and enjoy lots of activity. There are lobster boats working daily. In summer, sailboat races go by most afternoons.
