Great property in SW Harbor, 5 minute walk to Lobster Pound, 5 minute walk to town, and short drive to sights on this side of the island. Love the deck and the view from it. Quiet, clean, and comfortable home. Great host, thank you.

We enjoyed our stay at Harbor Boat House. The place was clean, comfortable and had all the essentials you would need. Plenty of dishes, cutlery, glasses, pots & pans. Extra towels, beddings & blankets were also available. Wonderful view of the Harbor which was nice to see first thing in the morning. Great location if you enjoy the peace and quiet. This was our second visit to Acadia and we would love to come back and stay here again.

We really enjoyed this home! My husband, 3 year old and I had a great time. The place is clean and in an amazing location. The quaint little town was just what we needed. You can see the water and boats from the balcony. There was a grill and everything you need to cook in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure was absolutely fantastic. We would most certainly book this home again if we were to return to the area!

Everything is great about this place. The location is half a mile from the center of Southwest Harbor. It is just across the road from the harbor, and you get very refreshing sea breezes off the ocean. It is well designed, with three bedrooms, all about the same size, two with a queen bed and one with two twin beds. The beds are comfortable. There are night stands next to the beds, with lamps. There are also overhead spotlights, great for reading in bed. The closets have box fans and extra bedspreads. The great room has a sofa, loveseat, two sitting chairs and a rocker. All are comfortable. There is a large flatscreen TV. The decor is tasteful. All three bedrooms have ceiling borders. There is a large nautical map of the island in the great room. The eat-in kitchen has a table for six. It has a full size fridge, no automatic icemaker or water dispenser, dishwasher, stove, microwave, washer and dryer. It is very well equipped with utensils, cookware, dishes, and glasses. There is no AC, but we didn't need it, even in mid-August. There is just one bathroom. The shower has plenty of hot water and good shower pressure. The house is above a garage, with 19 internal stairs. The owners are very nice and helpful. The price is great for the area. There is a fair amount of traffic on the street out front, but the house is well set back from the street, and the traffic is going only about 25 mph, so not that loud. It's a quiet neighborhood. It is in town, so if you want a more rural, remote location, this is not it. It was perfect for us. We had three in our party, but four or five would be fine; you just have to share the one bathroom.

Nice 2nd Floor apartment in quiet area. Across street from Harbor. A few very good restaurants in town. A great place as a base to explore Acadia, if you want to be in a quiet harbor. Our hosts were kind and easy to work with. We really enjoyed it!
5.0
It was a nice one-week "workation" time we spend in this place. Paul and Kathleen were nice and considerate, easy to communicate with, and very responsive. The accommodation was generously spaced, environment was fantastic, and the view onto the sea was really nice. Also liked Southwest Harbour as a small, easy to navigate, yet has-it-all town. Thanks for having us!
5.0
I was in it for the balcony and was not disappointed! Love being able to see the Southwest Harbor sipping coffee sitting on the balcony or at the kitchen table. Every room was comfortable and well equipped. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
5.0
The check in/out process was extremely easy. The place was very clean, kitchen well stocked with utensils, cookware, dishes, appliances. Appreciated having enough cleaning supplies and paper supplies (though we bought extras just in case). Southwest Harbor is a lovely town with good amenities- great pizza at one end, lobster shack at the other! Generally quiet and peaceful. The view rom the living areas was nice, even if not waterfront. The owners were very accommodating to all our needs and requests. Greatly appreciated that! The only negative was that two of our party found the mattresses uncomfortable. I was fine. Thanks a bunch for a lovely stay.
5.0
We absolutely loved our stay at the Harbor Boat House. The apartment was even better than described/pictured. Very spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed staying on the Quietside, in a tranquil neighborhood and within easy walking distance of the main street. We would definitely return!

Wonderful home on the quiet side of Mt Desert Island. Perfect home for a family with a nice view of SW Harbor. We will be back! Thank you!
5.0
Located in a lovely, quiet, area that is walking distance the restaurants and shops in Southwest and a short ride to everywhere else on the island the Harbor Boathouse has everything you need. The hosts are wonderfully helpful but in no way intrusive. The place has everything a person could need and is squeaky clean. Highly recommend!
