It was a wonderful experience. The home was extremely nice, rooms and bathrooms for everyone. We had plenty of room to cook in the kitchen. It was wonderful having a washer and dryer. It was an easy walk to town and close to Arcade. The small towns with charm were very close. Our whole family had a wonderful vacation.

Great location and the property was what you would expect from an elderly home on the Maine coast. The property owners were terrific.

This property was very comfortable for 4 couples. It was nice to be so close to downtown. Southwest Harbor was much easier to navigate compared to Bar Harbor. We loved working with the home owners who were very accommodating. Loved Maine and loved this home as our base!

Our group of 11 (age 2-70) stayed here last week and it was great! It was so convenient to have a bathroom in each bedroom. Some previous reviews mention that the showers in the bedrooms are small. While they definitely are if you are taller, they work just fine! There is a larger bathroom with a taller shower/bath in the hall for anyone who needs more room. The kitchen has every dish/utensil/pot/pan that you could ever imagine. My only heads up for people with small children, the dishes are all real porcelain/glass. There are a few larger plastic cups but maybe bring some children’s plates with you if your toddler likes to break real ones. The dining area on the porch is massive and fits everyone comfortably. There is a large laundry room in the basement which was great with so many people and a week of messy outdoor adventures. This was our family’s second time renting this house, and it will absolutely not be our last. If you are looking for a comfortable, spacious, home away from home for your vacation, this is your place!

There was plenty of space for our party of 11. Kitchen supplies were excellent. Location was tough with a dog because the main street was so busy with cars and no sidewalks. Had a great family vacation.

We were there for a family reunion. Fourteen of us stayed at the property, which had plenty of room for everyone, and 7 bathrooms, which was amazing!

This year 11 of us gathered in Southwest Harbor for our annual family vacation. We want to thank Bob & Karen for sharing their home with us. Plenty of space, well stocked kitchen & very accommodating. We were there the first week of July. Did need the A/C from Wednesday on. My favorite room of the house was the back porch with the large kitchen table. Plenty of space for eating together. Also spent plenty of time there at night playing games. Very short walk to downtown shops. Showers were somewhat small (6 of our guys over 6 ft) but manageable. Small front yard fenced in. No backyard but nice deck with plenty of seating & gas grill. Bob hooked us up with the lobster man. Bob had all the supplies we needed to have our first lobster boil! Great fun & yummy! Overall, great house, great location (convenient to everything) - just a fantastic week of making more family memories!! Thanks again Bob & Karen - The Coffey’s

Our large group of kids, teens, and adults had a fantastic stay at Harbor Watch in Southwest Harbor. The home is just a couple of blocks from the center of town so we could walk in for lunch, dinner, or just ice cream. It's very close to the island's "quiet side" activities like Echo Lake, Bass Harbor, and Wonderland, and just a 20-30 min drive to Bar Harbor and all of the Acadia NP attractions. The owners were very nice, responsive, and helpful. Great time!
