Acadia stay
Great place with a cool pathway to the beach. The views were beautiful and the house was wonderful. There was enough space for my three kids to spread out and toys for them to play with. Would absolutely love to come back!

Firefly Cottage
Whitney and Dan were wonderful to work with. The house has awesome features like the fireplace ,built-ins, and decor. However, the outside of the house needs some attention. Excellent view of the ocean and enjoyed watching the deer. Thanks for sharing an amazing spot on the quiet side of the island.

The Quiet Side
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the "quiet side." The house was clean, well appointed, and had tons of northeast, beach house character. My wife and I loved all the built in cabinetry and the stone fireplace. The highlight for us was walking to the beach for sunrise and catching the colors in the sky at sunset. Although there aren't as many restaurants to choose from in Southwest Harbor as there are in baaaahhhh habaaaa, there are some really good ones. Highly recommend Eat a Pit 2 and Drydock. We enjoyed great food and service at both. Also lots to do in the area so this house is a great choice overall.

Expectations
Location was great! Private and serene. We had issues with musty smell, resulting from standing water in basement. Downstairs bathroom had mildew and evidence of leaking issues. The host was very responsive and brought us two brand new air purifiers. The house is charming but sadly neglected. We would probably not return.

Our family purchased this home last June with great excitement. It is the neighboring property to our home and our plan from the start was to fix it up and rent it seasonally. We have done just that and are looking forward to the upcoming summer to have people enjoy this beautiful part of the world in a very comfortable and peaceful setting.
