Southwest Harbor in the Fall

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!

Great views and comfort

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.

Comfort near Acadia

We stayed 4 nights at SW Harbor - everything is as good as it looks in the photos. Very spacious, clean, comfy decor and great view. It was a short drive to Acadia Nat'l Park each day. Absolutely no complaints!

Larger than it Appears

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.

Enjoyable Stay

We enjoyed our stay. The unit had nice water views. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfortable and they have a washing machine. We had to hang out at the unit for most of one day while dealing with a dead rental car…the unit was comfortable and inviting for a day of puzzles and movie watching. There are several good restaurants within a short walking distance. If you are a light sleeper, go for the top unit. Even when trying to be quiet, the building transmits sounds.

Super clean apartment with a nice harbor view

Loved the place. It was super clean which is huge for me. Nice furnishings. Really, really spacious too. Would stay here again. The only issue we had which was no fault of the property owner/management, was that extremely loud people were above us partying till 4 am. Otherwise, it was a really great place to stay! Great location too. :)

quintessential MainView great location

we were for adults staying in this incredible condo overlooking Southwest Harbor. The view was stunning. It was so great from the deck that we did not want to leave The condo is so close to several great restaurants that we walked to. I cannot imagine, staying in a nicer place in a better location. Thank you so much for the spotless condition

Comfortable, clean, and peaceful

The location of this updated condo in an older home in Southwest Harbor is perfect to avoid the crowds of Bar Harbor during peak season. We enjoyed hiking and rock climbing in Acadia Nat'l Park, and kayaking on the northeast side of MDI, seeing seals, porpoises, bald eagles, and loons in the process. The condo offered comfortable beds, showers with great water pressures, and many basic supplies provided. We were not bothered by any road noise because we had the A/C units muffling that while we slept (warm week on MDI but cool in the bedrooms). Thank you for sharing these lovely accommodations!

Enjoyed our stay!

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!

In Need of Upgrades

At a minimum, this property needs soundproofing, overhead lighting in the bedrooms and bathrooms, working locks on the patio sliders, and updated windows with secure screens. Additionally, the shower stall needs a handheld shower head because it’s virtually impossible to rinse the lower half of your body. Luggage racks would be a nice touch, as would a chair in each bedroom. Finally, we had safety concerns about the stability of the deck railings.
