Quiet Side Gem

The property is lovely, with a bright deck overlooking a small fishing harbor. This perfectly equipped and spotless home hosted our quintessential Maine experience. The location is quiet, yet it's easy to access Acadia and Bar Harbor. We will definitely return!

The Ideal Acadia Getaway

The harbor was such an unbelievable setting to take in from the back deck, especially at sunset. A five-minute walk to Thurston's made dinners very easy. We ate there every night. There are plenty of great hikes and sights to take in that are a 10-15 minute drive away and your main Bar Harbor and Acadia attractions are only 30 min away. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Simply Nice!

This property is situated on a quiet, working harbor in coastal Maine. The lobster boats, pleasure vessels and other boats are fun to watch. This property is very quiet and it is still close to the charming downtown of Southwest Harbor, and still a short drive to the attractions of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. You will like the house and the location. We certainly did!

About the host

Hosted by Stacy Just

We are natives of MDI with 3 businesses that we operate. In addition to our eight rental properties, Steve is a master electrician with 6 or more employees and we operate a real estate firm with 7 agents. Our 2 children are grown and 4 grand children are almost grown. We enjoy boating the Maine coast, kayaking the local waters and walking the trails here on MDI. Our home away from home is Sarasota FL where we purchased a rental property at the Palm Bay Club on Siesta Key. For a warm retreat in the cold of winter reserve a vacation at our FL condo, palmbayclub.com unit 360.

Why they chose this property

Our location on the water on the quiet side of MDI is only 25 minutes from the hustle and bustle of down town Bar Harbor on a day when the cruise ships are in. Entrances to the park are within 2 miles and Thurston's for lobster and Back Beach are within 1/2 a mile. The village of SW Harbor is just 3.6 miles from Bernard Rd where you'll find shops, library, banks, Gilley Museum, art shows on the green and restaurants.
