About this house rental

Historically known as the Harbormaster’s House, 98 Clark Point Road was originally built in 1888 with a major renovation in 1989. This venerable property is located along the shores of the Great Harbor and enjoys captivating harbor views of all the marine activity. The year-round residence has a well equipped kitchen, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two laundry rooms, a large living/dining/kitchen area, a second story office/sitting room, harborside decks and a large basement. The main floor primary suite includes an ADA compliant bathroom and private screened porch. A one car attached garage allows direct access to the house. And, a meandering path through lovely perennial gardens leads to the shore and a beach where kayakers can launch (dock and pier under renovation and currently NOT accessible). This beautifully maintained property is just five houses from the Southwest Harbor Town Dock and a 10 minute walk to downtown Southwest Harbor with its many shops, restaurants, inns, and museum. NEW FOR SUMMER 2023! Brand new boathouse provides relaxation or an extra party place down on the dock!

So many times one enters the Vrbo only to find out that the photos aren’t as representational as the actual house. This place was actually better than the photos! very big with lots if space to enjoy. amazing views over Southwest Harbor even in the off-season it was a wonderful place to be. Kitchen was very plentiful with all the necessary items to cook. Spacious great view from upstairs to work remote overlooking the harbor as well. Can’t wait to go back.

This rental was well equipped in a really pretty neighborhood. Location to Bar Harbor was convenient only 20 minute drive. The pictures are very true to the home...We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time on our trip to Acadia, and the house was the perfect base for our small group of friends. The house is very beautiful and comfortable, with all what you can need for a vacation. And the hosts are wonderful people, very kind and helpfult, always ready for give support and good advice. We felt really at home, and the house is very big and perfectly kept. The location is superb, very close to the park and all the attractions, but at the same time not in busy Bar Harbor. We really preferred to stay in the quiet and relaxed area of Southwest Harbor, where the house is. Thanks a lot to Meg and family for the hospitality, and if we visit the area, for sure we will look for the house again. Warm regards, Marco, Alfredo, Javier, Pepe and Gerardo

We rented for 2 weeks. The house was well stocked, extremely well located and surprisingly spacious. We enjoyed the views of the harbor from all levels of the house.

Perfect home for our multi-generational family trip. View of harbor is stunning. Kitchen is very well stocked and a big dining room table with room for everyone! Easy walk to Beale’s for lobster and to town for burritos and ice cream. Highly recommend staying on the “quiet side” of MDI - you can still easily get to all the great places but without the crazy traffic of Bar Harbor. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

The property is every bit as charming in person as it is in the photographs. The location is lovely; about 3 easily walkable blocks from the main street, with a beautiful view of the harbor. There were 4 adults in our group; one couple, a woman in her 80's and another in her 70's. The bedroom on the first floor was perfect for the oldest among us--no stairs necessary--while the upstairs king-sized bed worked for the couple. Our fourth guest stayed in the room with two twin beds. The way the bathrooms are laid out, each of us had the privacy we needed. The feeling inside is open and airy. The house is big enough so that people could go their separate ways when needed, yet intimate enough to encourage easy conversations throughout the day. The house was immaculate and equipped with everything we needed; from a fully outfitted kitchen, to good linens and towels, to comfortable chairs and couches. Finally, our host Meg was responsive, organized and a delight to deal with. We'd highly recommend this property. Thank you, Meg, for making our vacation so easy!

From the time we arrived until the time we left, out stay at Southwest Harbor was amazing. The house was clean, our hosts were helpful, polite and responsive to any questions we had. Everything you needed was in this house from access to adventures to a quite neighborhood that took you back to a simpler time. The house was centrally located in Southwest Harbor, which made walking to town, the marina, and local restaurants extremely easy. Access to the Acadia National Park was simple and we always managed to be going in the opposite direction of any traffic. Bike rides around town or to Echo Lake for a swim were simple and accessible from the house. This property gave us a chance to explore Mount Desert Island in a relaxed and carefree way, which our vacation a real vacation.
