AMAZING!
Truly special! This was my first time ever trying something other than a hotel and it far exceeded my expectations. The property is the perfect stay for anyone visiting the town or going to visit Acadia National Park! It is a great drive to Acadia National Park and you truly get to experience all of what the Island has to offer! Truly recommend this property to anyone who is visiting the area!!

Excellently appointed 1BR, fully updated, clean, great location with views of harbor! Host is best ever, quickly replied to all our inquiries, had useful hiking guide books for us to use, stocked with coffee and bag of ice! No oven but has toaster oven, cook-top, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. Can’t say enough about this place! Christie was super helpful!

30th Anniversary Trip
It was a wonderful place to visit and see all the sights, shops and restaurants. The towns from Boston to Bar Harbor were great stops to see. My husband enjoyed the lobster rolls and I especially enjoyed the clam chowder. Our host was perfect for her quaint place! Would love to come back again some day.

Perfect Southwest Harbor location
The Upper Deck unit was bright and sunny (as were all the days we visited in mid September!). It is the perfect location to walk to the little village to shop or eat - or to catch the wonderful and convenient Explore Bus. Despite its close location to town, the setting is quiet, with views of the harbor. We also enjoyed being able to bike to Seawall and beyond to Bass Harbor lighthouse. The unit itself was very clean, the bed comfortable, loved the electric "fireplaces" under the TV in living room and bedroom. We would definitely stay here again!

Great rental in Southwest Harbor
We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was clean, matched the pictures, in a convenient location, had a great view and a smooth check in process. It was a great option for our first trip to Acadia and I wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

AMAZING! All around amazing! The host was so thoughtful with every little detail with our stay! Even down to a bag of ice! Also, so responsive. Our location was 20-25 minutes to everything Acadia and bar harbor which made it so easy to go back and forth each day. Walking distance to downtown SWH. We will 1000% be back and will be recommending everyone to stay here! Cheers! Lauren + Tom

Comfortable apartment in a great location
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was within easy driving distance of Acadia National Park and many other sites we wanted to visit. The neighborhood was easy to navigate and the apartment was easy to find. It was a safe, secure location in a safe neighborhood. I would recommend this apartment to friends and would stay here again.

We loved the space and it's walkability to southwest harbor shops and hiking. We watched the sunrise at seawall campground, a short drive away. It was a great spot to be stationed while exploring all of acadia's beauty. great host, great space, would love to stay here again!

Wonderful Property, Excellent Views, Great Host
Upon entry, we were immediately pleased. In fact, we booked again for next year during the first day. Host Christie provided supplies like soap, coffee, sweetner, TP, paper towel, cleaning supplies, 2 bags of ice, firewood, sponge, etc. Equipment included a commercial grade firepit, new heavy duty easy-to-use grill just steps outside our door, toaster oven, magic bullet for blending, electric stovetop with pots, pans, stovetop griddle, and frying pan, coffee maker, AC and ceiling fan in both the living room and bedroom, and for cooler times, small gas heaters that look like fireplaces in both rooms. But the big deal for us was the 180 view of the harbor from the deck (where we ate our meals when there) and even from the living/dining room. We could open the windows in the living/dining area on two sides and turn on the ceiling fan, and get a wonderful cross breeze. Another awesome thing was the firepit, where we made s'mores and looked up at the stars. The property is within walking distance to the main street of SW Harbor and just diwn the street from Abels Lobster Pier, which also has good pick up to 900 PM. It is also very close to many parts of Acadia National Park, including swimming area Echo Lake. Bar Harbor is just a few minutes' dri

Quiet Get Away
We absolutely loved our stay at the Top Deck. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was a quiet oasis. You’re close to trails and it is an adorable little town that you can easily walk to. If you’re interested in going to Bar Harbor for a day or two, it’s just about a 30 minute drive. There are so many quaint towns nearby for you to explore. I want to also recommend MDI Lobster Co which is literally down the road; it’s delicious and has a fantastic view of the harbor. I would definitely stay again when up in ME.
