Love the Southwest Harbor area and this location was a walk into town and short drive to ocean at Seawall. Hot tub was a treat after days of biking. And Amanda was amazing with her quick response to any concerns.

A great home base on MDI.

We had an excellent stay at Harbor Daze this August. The house was extremely clean, functional, and had everything we needed to cook and be comfortable for the week. The highlight was coming back from hikes and bike rides and being able to soak in the hot tub! The house had nice views of the harbor and was close enough to walk to a few places for dinner, which was really nice.

Staying in Southwest Harbor

We found that the property was well maintained and contained just about everything that we needed. Our grandchildren in particular liked the hot tub. When we needed extra chairs for around the table for dinner, our host was quick in delivering them to us. We enjoyed having a meal on the deck and found that we could easily walk into town.

Gem in Southwest Harbor!

We had a fantastic stay at Harbor Daze! We’ve been to SW Harbor several times in the past and this location and home did not disappoint. Extremely comfortable for our group of 6 (4 adults and two older teens). The one double bed was a little tight for a couple but we made it work. The kitchen was extremely functional and the location with a beautiful view of the harbor made for an easy short walk into the center of town. Would happily stay here again on our next return visit!

Location, location, location!

My family and I loved staying here! It was centrally located to many of must sees on the island and it’s located in a quaint little harbor - Southwest Harbor. It’s walkable distance to shops, restaurants, and downtown area. The hot tub was great too after a long day exploring. Pictures are accurate and the rental was clean. Check in/checkout was simple and easy.

Comfortable home away from home

Four adults were more than comfortable in this beautiful harbor home. We walked to town, supermarket was close, marina/harbor views were lovely, and the hot tub felt amazing after our long hikes in Acadia. Kitchen and home were overall well stocked and Amanda was very responsive. We loved it! Hope to return someday.

Great, quiet location

Everything was as described. It was just my husband and I that stayed and there was PLENTY of room if we would have been traveling with others. The washing machine didn't work, but the host was accommodating with an alternative solution while we were there. If we ever come back to the area we'd definitely stay here again.

We loved everything about our stay. From the kitchen having what we needed, to the hot tub and fire pit being just what we needed after a day of hiking, to the comfortable living area, it was all as advertised and perfect for us. We loved being on the quiet side with just a short drive to what we wanted to do!

Relaxing, Convenient house

Great location for trips to National Park, shops, restaurants, harbor. Enjoyed the hot tub- though it was snug for 4 adults. The traffic on Main Street was a little loud for sitting on the front porch- but could barely hear it in the house. Beautiful sunrises.

Perfect quiet side location

My entire family fell in love with this rental. The layout is simply amazing with so much open space. The rental had everything you could want, and the hot tub was just that little extra that just further enhanced the relaxation. It is only a 25 minute drive to Bar Harbor so it is close enough, but all the necessities such as amazing restaurants and a local grocery has everything you need. Five stars for sure and we would definitely vacation here again!! Thank you, Jane, for allowing us to enjoy your home!

Relaxing week at Harbor Daze

Four of us (2 adults and 2 teens) were very comfortable in this house. We walked to town regularly and it was easy to drive to many parts of Mount Desert Island. The house is very clean and well kept. We loved using the hot tub after long hikes! Definitely recommend Beall’s & Charlotte’s Lobster Pound for casual meals. Also enjoyed Eat-a-pita for a more upscale dinner. The bike shop up the road, Southwest Cycle, was extremely helpful for a repair. Favorite hikes: Flying Mountain, Acadia Mountain, Wonderland and the carriage road at Brown Mountain (closer to Northeast Harbor). Happily took advantage of the free EV charging station in town (by the police station). Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect stay in Acadia

This was our first trip to Acadia and it was nice to come back each day to a house in a quiet area. Nice small town to walk to and an easy drive anyway on MDI. House had a great equipped kitchen and we made use of the grill, hot tub and fire pit (owner provided plenty of wood). We were visited every day by a doe and her two fawns. We all had a great week there.

Lovely stay in SW Harbor

We had a great time at Harbor Daze this last week. Close enough to walk into town and grab a meal or walk around and window shop, easy drives to swimming, hiking, biking and more! The house comes well stocked with towels, kitchen supplies, and dining spaces. The patio is lovely outside and we enjoyed having a fire and sitting in the hot tub at night after doing activities most days. Beal’s Lobster Pound was a great dinner and we also enjoyed the local coffee shop, Milagro’s on most mornings. Such a quiet and beautiful side of the island.

Great place to stay

House accurately represented in the listing. We stayed for a month and thought it was the perfect place to stay. Has everything you need for your stay. Hot tub is great for relaxing after your activities during the day. Tub is serviced twice a week. Close enough to Acadia and much less crowded than Bar Harbor. Some good hiking, Acadia Mtn, Beech Mtn west ridge within a short drive. Main part of Acadia is 15 - 20 minutes away. Farmers Market every Friday with the cheapest price for live lobster. Eat at MDI Lobster on Clark's Point Road. Owner were great. I got a package mailed to me during our stay and they picked it up at the post office and delivered to the house. Can't say enough good things about the house.

Great Location

We loved everything about our stay, including its proximity to less busy trails of Acadia NP. The view was lovely, and we really appreciated the abundance of high quality supplies that were provided (e.g. Tide pods, Cascade pods, 7th generation soap, Mrs. Meyers all purpose cleaner, Glad flex trash bags, etc). Everything about this trip was “easy” which made it really enjoyable. We had 4 adults and 2 young children in our group, and we just had the best time. One thing to be aware of in this area is the scarcity of food options (both restaurants and grocery stores) and their limited hours of operation. Plan ahead for meals, so you’re not frantically trying to figure out dinner and keep running into dead ends. We enjoyed this stay more than a much more costly and shorter stay closer to Bar Harbor this time last year. We would definitely return!
