We loved staying on the quiet side for our adventures in Acadia. The space was exactly as described, and very clean and comfortable. Easy walk into town for dinner, ice cream, and a few shops. Easy drive to some of the most amazing hiking and kayaking! You really can’t see or walk to the harbor immediately from the rental, but the property is lovely. We would recommend it for sure!

Just what we wanted.

The Top Deck Retreat was just what we wanted - a clean, comfortable, roomy place that was in a walkable area, with easy access to ANP. Communication with the host was excellent and instructions for use of the retreat were clear and concise. We hope to return.

Location is wonderful- walking distance to town and the town pier. Friendly neighborhood. The cottage is lovely- comfortable, bright and very clean. King bed was so comfortable. Plenty of room. Well stocked with towels and linens, board games, maps of the area. We had a wonderful stay and didn’t want to leave!

Capt Mayo House for the win!

Our stay was nothing short of perfect. From the beginning Christie made everything very easy and was quick in her responses. The pictures online matched exactly where we were staying and it was spotless when we arrived. The area was quiet and within walking distance to shops/restaurants downtown Southwest Harbor. We had no concerns while we were staying and will gladly look into staying here again when we venture back up to Maine!

AMAZING!

Truly special! This was my first time ever trying something other than a hotel and it far exceeded my expectations. The property is the perfect stay for anyone visiting the town or going to visit Acadia National Park! It is a great drive to Acadia National Park and you truly get to experience all of what the Island has to offer! Truly recommend this property to anyone who is visiting the area!!

Perfect Southwest Harbor location

The Upper Deck unit was bright and sunny (as were all the days we visited in mid September!). It is the perfect location to walk to the little village to shop or eat - or to catch the wonderful and convenient Explore Bus. Despite its close location to town, the setting is quiet, with views of the harbor. We also enjoyed being able to bike to Seawall and beyond to Bass Harbor lighthouse. The unit itself was very clean, the bed comfortable, loved the electric "fireplaces" under the TV in living room and bedroom. We would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable apartment in a great location

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was within easy driving distance of Acadia National Park and many other sites we wanted to visit. The neighborhood was easy to navigate and the apartment was easy to find. It was a safe, secure location in a safe neighborhood. I would recommend this apartment to friends and would stay here again.

Quiet Get Away

We absolutely loved our stay at the Top Deck. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was a quiet oasis. You’re close to trails and it is an adorable little town that you can easily walk to. If you’re interested in going to Bar Harbor for a day or two, it’s just about a 30 minute drive. There are so many quaint towns nearby for you to explore. I want to also recommend MDI Lobster Co which is literally down the road; it’s delicious and has a fantastic view of the harbor. I would definitely stay again when up in ME.

AMAZING! All around amazing! The host was so thoughtful with every little detail with our stay! Even down to a bag of ice! Also, so responsive. Our location was 20-25 minutes to everything Acadia and bar harbor which made it so easy to go back and forth each day. Walking distance to downtown SWH. We will 1000% be back and will be recommending everyone to stay here! Cheers! Lauren + Tom
