Tucked along the southwestern shores of Mount Desert Island, Southwest Harbor is a charming fishing village known for its working waterfront, stunning harbor views, and laid-back atmosphere. Often considered the quieter counterpart to Bar Harbor, this coastal town offers a more relaxed and authentic Maine experience while still providing easy access to Acadia National Park.
Home to a thriving boatbuilding industry, Southwest Harbor boasts a strong maritime heritage, with local shipyards crafting some of the finest yachts in the world. The town’s picturesque harbor is dotted with lobster boats, sailboats, and waterfront restaurants serving up fresh-caught seafood.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, from the scenic trails of Western Mountain and Beech Cliffs to the serene beauty of Seawall and Echo Lake. The town also serves as a gateway to Great Cranberry and Little Cranberry Islands, accessible by ferry for those looking to explore Maine’s rugged offshore beauty.

Great stay and location.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Beautiful, modern updated condo with comfortable beds & nice bathrooms. Small deck with a water view. Condo building is a small, restored, very old building, close to the street. The listing talks about noise & we did notice the traffic noise, mostly early in the mornings. Still, we’d stay there again & it didn’t disturb our sleep but you can hear it. Walk to the downtown area & short, pleasant drive to congested Bar Harbor. It was nice to retreat to a calmer, quieter SW Harbor.

Great place. Wish we had found the earplugs on the way into the condo, rather than when we were departing. The street noise started to get loud around..
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
Some pros - the beds were comfy, convenient location to Acadia in Southwest Harbor, great dock overlooking the harbor which was great for fireworks! We enjoyed our overall stay, but as other reviewers mentioned, the noise is a very big issue for this property. The walls are PAPER thin - if someone drops anything above you, or walks, or moves a chair - the sound is very amplified. I knew this going in, but it was still crazy how much we heard every single movement of the rest of the building. It's definitely a very old building, which to be fair, seems to be the norm around Acadia (and they are very charming! just come with quirks). It ended up being the lease expensive thing for our group of 3 as we needed 2 bedrooms 2 baths, but I don't think it was worth the overall cost. Additionally, the TV did not work and was not connected to the internet, despite the property listing that there was indeed a working TV. We tried both nights to connect it to the internet that all of our phones were connected to, but that didn't work. Annoying because we specifically got a living room so we could all relax and watch TV after a long day of hiking.
