Lovely location and well kept property. Southwest Harbor has a more local flavor rather versus the crowds (and lack of parking) in Bar Harbor. Staring the day with breakfast on the balcony, over looking the bay, was very relaxing.
Amazing view of the harbor. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Easy access to Acadia National Park. Thanks for a great few days for our family.
This place was perfect for our family of 4. It was easy to get around…most days we drove our rental car but one day we did utilize the bus! We stopped at the cute bar across the street on our last night and wished we had stopped sooner!
Sparkling clean and very spacious with gorgeous waterfront view. We were in Driftwood. We appreciated the amenities provided, the clear instructions on check in and out as well as the tips provided. There are wonderful breakfast options nearby and while we spent most of our time in Bar Harbor and Acadia, we appreciated being away from a busy downtown. Just note that from the more popular Acadia attractions, this is about a 20 min drive. Road noise wasn't too bad, we used the fans and ran the AC and sound machine.
The place was clean and spacious. Each bedroom had their own bathroom. It was a convenient location with coffee shops and restaurants just a couple blocks away and walkable. It was conveniently located for our daily trips to Acadia and just a short 10 minutes from Bass Harbor lighthouse for sunset. There was also a grocery store just a couple minutes away.
We had a great stay in SouthWest Harbor at Driftwood. While our friends' boat was parked at the nearby Dystart marina, this was the perfect spot to feel comfortable and at home while exploring Acadia.
This condo was absolutely perfect! It was in a great location. We were able to walk across the street for dinner and the shops along the main strip were all within walking distance, We went to see the fall color and they were spectacular. This condo was close to all of the places we wanted to visit. I highly recommend this place!
The reviews and description we read were accurate. The property seemed larger once we checked in. It was clean and spacious. Reviews and the description said there was road noise off the street/bedrooms which there was. We used fans and ear plugs provided. All in all a great stay.
The property owner was very forward and precise with the location description and reletive noise concerns. After we adjusted to that, it was great. Please heed their information. Clean and comfortable.
Some pros - the beds were comfy, convenient location to Acadia in Southwest Harbor, great dock overlooking the harbor which was great for fireworks! We enjoyed our overall stay, but as other reviewers mentioned, the noise is a very big issue for this property. The walls are PAPER thin - if someone drops anything above you, or walks, or moves a chair - the sound is very amplified. I knew this going in, but it was still crazy how much we heard every single movement of the rest of the building. It's definitely a very old building, which to be fair, seems to be the norm around Acadia (and they are very charming! just come with quirks). It ended up being the lease expensive thing for our group of 3 as we needed 2 bedrooms 2 baths, but I don't think it was worth the overall cost. Additionally, the TV did not work and was not connected to the internet, despite the property listing that there was indeed a working TV. We tried both nights to connect it to the internet that all of our phones were connected to, but that didn't work. Annoying because we specifically got a living room so we could all relax and watch TV after a long day of hiking.
My husband and I visited for a long weekend in June. The check in process and communication from the owner was all very easy and great. Place was clean and the view was beautiful. As the listing states, it's pretty loud! The road is right off the bedroom windows and you can definitely hear traffic. We are deep sleepers so we were okay. Additionally, since the building is so old you can definitely hear residents upstairs and downstairs fairly well. Close to a few good restaurants and breakfast places but very small town. We had a nice visit!
