You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Enjoy the stunning ocean view from the hot tub!

As you walk into 'Port's' main level, you are consumed by panoramic views of the harbor. Step out onto the deck and you can smell the ocean air and feel as though you can reach out and touch the boats in the harbor.

The open floor plan allows you to soak in the views whether you're cooking in the kitchen, relaxing in the sitting area or dining at the table with family and friends. The galley-style kitchen has lots of prep and cupboard space and stainless steel appliances. Reminiscent of a yacht, 'Port' has crisp white walls and natural wood accents, including exposed beams and natural wood ceiling, To top it off, this area is tastefully furnished with comfy couches and leather accents. The upper level offers an open loft bedroom with double bed and overstuffed chair. And in the lower level you'll find the master bedroom with hot tub on private patio overlooking the harbor, a full bath with granite sink, laundry and a second bedroom with twin bed plus a twin trundle.

Come to the 'Quiet Side': 'Port' is situated on the shore in the quaint village of Southwest Harbor. From 'Port' you can take a stroll into town and explore unique shops, fabulous restaurants, museums, antique shops, an oceanarium, and much more.. Rent a boat locally or take the water taxi to explore the waters and islands surrounding Mount Desert Island. The condo is also located just minutes from world-famous Acadia National Park, which offers crystal-clear lakes, sandy and rocky beaches, rocky shorelines, beautifully maintained hiking and biking carriage trails, mountains to hike or drive, and so much more. Opportunities for whale watching, boat rentals and charters, fishing, swimming, golf, tennis, shopping, kayaking, hiking, and many more are within minutes.

Away from the Crowds, Close to Everything!: Situated on the 'quiet side' of Mount Desert Island, you can enjoy the real Downeast Maine away from the crowds, but still be within minutes of world-famous Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. You can explore all that the park has to offer by yourself, take a guided tour or take Mount Desert Island's bus, the 'Island Explorer', available to the public free of charge! Destinations include just about anywhere you want to go on the island. There are a number of outfitters located on Mount Desert Island that rent bicycles and kayaks as well. Just fifteen miles to Bar Harbor and you can enjoy a wide variety of activities from the most relaxed to the most rigorous, dining for all tastes and budgets, and shopping in many unique shops and galleries. Regardless of your interests, 'Port' and the surrounding attractions are sure to make for a fulfilling vacation!

Come in the Fall-Beautiful Foliage, lower rates! : The months of September and October are a fabulous time to come to 'Port'. The rates are lower, the crowds have left, the weather is comfortable and the foliage is spectacular!!! Acadia National Park is rated among the best places in the United States to view fall foliage!

Have school-age kids but still want to avoid the crowds? Why not come to 'Port' in June!
Enjoy a picnic on Windward Shore's Private Dock. Watch the activity in the harbor as working lobster and fishing boats mingle with exquisite yachts. When the sun sets behind you, experience a sight unparalleled as the boats in the harbor are illuminated...gorgeous!

To us, heaven on earth
We are retired and getting a bit to old to navigate a sail boat. We loved the view looking at all the boats coming and going. We visited Bar Harbor, Acadia Park, We ate the best food from Little Notch Bakery. Try the blueberry pie. Its to die for. Thank you for your rental it had all we needed to feel at home.

Lovely Spot
The view is truly priceless! We also enjoyed the hot tub after hiking the nearby trails each day. Quiet location and never heard the neighbor next door. We have stayed at many VRBO properties and this was the first time we have been asked to sweep and the vacuum the floors on departure!

Quiet gem on the quiet side with AMAZING view
Very well kept and clean. Far enough off of the Main Street with great parking. No need for a sunrise pass to Cadillac! We enjoyed it right from our living room couch. Would definitely rent again! Reached out to owner about one small thing and responded right away.

We just completed our 8th year staying here and it never disappoints. You can’t beat the views from the deck or the proximity to restaurants and local attractions. Every year we say how thankful we found this spot on the “quiet side”!

Marvelous Maine
South Harbor is about half an hour from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and the main portion of Acadia national Park. We enjoyed being able to escape to our quiet little house located right on South Harbor while staying close enough to Acadia to do all the hiking and eat all the lobster that we wanted.

The most amazing view in the world!
The view of the harbor was nothing short of stunning. Watching lobster and sailboats coming and going all day was mesmerizing. And the view was from the loft, the deck and the patio and hot tub. We took advantage of it for breakfast lunch and dinner because we could not beat it at a restaurant. Rooms were very clean if a little small. Kitchen was well appointed. Stairs were a little steep. Location in Southwest Harbor is wonderful much more quaint and quiet than Bar Harbor. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The view is probably the best I’ve ever seen in places. I’ve stayed all over the world. And the owner was very sweet to give us a heads up on sidewalk construction and offer a refund, but it really was not an issue.

Wonderful stay. Great location.
We really enjoyed our stay in this home and location. We had everything we needed in the condo. We did not hear our neighbors at all. The loft stairs are a little tricky but we had adult children manuvering the stairs so it worked out. There is a BR in the downstairs next to the main BR if you have youngsters. The views are outstanding. Don't miss a sunset. Some mornings there is fog so when it's clear you won't want to miss it. Beautiful. We would stay again and definitely recommend.

Million dollar views and great location
To us, the location a short drive south of Bar Harbor was key. We didn’t want to be in the middle of the tourist bustle that is Bar Harbor, but also didn’t want to be so “off grid” that we’d feel too isolated. Southwest Harbor checked all those boxes. Just enough locally without compromising tranquility. The place was great. Amazing view. Good kitchen and bath arrangements. Gas BBQ on the deck that we used one night to grill some steaks to go with the lobsters we got to go from Beales a 4 minute drive from the unit. :)

Had a great time. Weather was very warm. The area and park was fantastic. A few things we saw that we think could help. Sun blocking curtains in upstairs. Need new can opener. Overall except for the heat we had a great time. Would truly come back and stay again. Oh hot tub was a favorite too.

We loved the location of the VRBO home. It was in a sleepy Maine area close enough to walk to restaurants and shops. The view was beautiful. Soaking in the hot tub after long hikes was dreamy.

This was my first time trying a VRBO stay. This property was exactly as pictured, clean and had organized and well though out check in and check out process. It is in a great location for visiting Bar Harbor and the Acaida National Park. It is a place I hope to stay at again. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Our family really enjoyed our stay in Southwest Harbor. Watching the boats coming in and out of the harbor was awesome. We hiked and biked throughout Acadia and it was great to return at the end of the day to this peaceful, well maintained, and beautiful home. Thank you for a fantastic vacation!

October in Acadia
Excellent experience at The Port! The condo was clean and well equipped with everything you could need. Check in was simple and everything was as described. Far enough from Bar Harbor to escape the tourist activity, but close enough for dinner in town. The hot tub was perfect after a long day or hiking or bike riding. Sunrise from the downstairs bedroom is not to be missed! We would definitely stay here again.

Great location
We really enjoyed this "quiet side" Southwest Harbor location--convenient to the small village's shops and restaurants, as well as ANP trails like Acadia Mt. and Flying Mt. And just about a 25 minute drive to Bar Harbor and ANP's Cadillac Mt entrance. The condo itself was quiet and clean. Views of the harbor and marina from the living room and balcony are just amazing! We saw herons on the dock and osprey flying overhead. We appreciated that plenty of bath towels were provided, along with a washing machine and dryer (came in handy drying things out after a rainy day hike).

Great place with a Great View
We (husband, two kids and me) want a great place on the quiet side when we visit MDI. This place did not disappoint. It was the perfect base camp. We loved being able to walk to catch the Islander bus or get dinner in South West Harbor. We also enjoyed getting back early to watch the Sunset streak across the sky over the harbor. The deck was the perfect spot to hang out and relax at the end of every night. We didn't cook, but there was everything we would have needed if we had. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very responsive. I highly recommend staying here.

Family Vacation
This was our first trip to Maine (2 adults and 2 teenagers) and we absolutely loved Southwest Harbor! This property was exactly as described with incredible water views. It was so easy to walk into town for shopping, eating or one of the local events. The uptown area is ADORABLE with lots of great dining options. Everyone was so friendly and we had great service everywhere! So relaxed and laid back, which was exactly what we wanted. It was an easy drive to Bar Harbor and everything Acadia has to offer. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to return!

Very nice vacation rental in a quiet setting overlooking the harbor. Minutes to walk into town and to the Explorer shuttle stop. Kitchen was equipped well, plenty of towels, very comfy beds. Friends rented the next door unit and we simply opened the pass-through doors in the deck dividers and we’re able to freely co-mingle on the deck. We would definitely stay here again.
