Holiday rentals with beach access in Southwest Harbor

As described! Located right behind Farnsworth Museum and walking distance to Main St. Had everything we needed in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Rosemary was very prompt in responding to questions. We had total privacy with easy parking. Nice upper deck for breakfast and a sitting area in the yard below. Main bed was super comfy. There’s a daybed in living room. (However, the daybed mattress may not be comfy for an adult.)

Emma’s place was a very tranquil stay on the quiet side. Close to Acadia national park but far enough way to feel away from it all. We loved the couch after a long day of hiking. This air bnb had everything we needed! We could have stayed longer. Would recommend to anyone visiting the island.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay! Would love to come back :)

We had a wonderful time at Mel's place! The room & area was exactly as described - very peaceful and quiet. The working fireplace in our room definitely added to the charm, and we appreciated having a kitchen area to make coffee in the mornings. Mel was also very communicative; our flight was delayed getting in, and he left clear instructions for check-in. Overall, we had an amazing visit and will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay at Carolyn’s Airbnb. There’s lots to do nearby.

Dear Julie - We had a fantastic time in Maine, the people were lovely and your place was absolutely perfect! All new, so clean, private bedrooms, a hot shower after a day of hiking at Acadia, et cetera, et cetera. You have every single detail covered from the kitchen to the bathroom. I was in need of nothing and really had to think to provide some constructive feedback, and here it is. A vegetable steamer basket would be a great addition. Haha, that's it. Sooooo glad we stayed in Ellsworth instead of Bar harbor. Don't get me wrong, Bar Harbor is beautiful right by the ocean, but it's a bit too touristy for me, and the inflated restaurant prices are hard to endure. A 25 minute drive from Ellsworth put us at the loop road entrance to Acadia, so simple. We spent Saturday night at The Black Moon Public House whooping it up with locals to live music by the band T.O.M.B. Perfect week, perfect ending. If you read this and need a place to stay, book it. You'll be glad you did.

The property itself is situated in a beautiful location facing the harbor. View from the living room is marvelous. Quaint neighborhood and responsive host. Well stocked kitchen and living essentials. The space itself is well optimized.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The location was amazing. Right off Main Street and totally walkable to anything in bar harbor with a parking space! It was on the right side of bar harbor to get to Acadia within 5 minutes. We loved all of the restaurants close by and the access to the park. The place was so comfortable and cozy! Beautifully decorated and warm after cold hikes in the park. We did not hear any noise at all from the hospital which is tiny compared to the hospitals in Virginia. I didn’t even notice it was there. Brianne was so kind and responsive and recommended lots of good hiking and dining options. I can’t wait to come back here again! If I could give this home 6 stars I would and I am usually a picky reviewer! We will definitely be back to the same house if we come back to Bar Harbor, which I hope we do! It’s a great base for exploring Acadia! The kitchen was well stocked and the bedroom was very comfortable. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

The place was terrific. Beautiful location. We did most of our activities in Bar Harbor which was an easy 20’ish min drive away. If you don’t want to make the drive often, there are excellent hikes 5-10 min away that are part of Acadia NP. It was so great that a grocery store was just up the road, and it has everything you need. It had one of the best equipped and stocked kitchens with all the pans/dishes/spices and basic cooking items for cooking so you don’t have to buy all the little things. The beds and comforters were very comfortable. We arrived at night, which is very dark, so the instructions were very helpful. It was nice that there were a lot of little things that they had already thought of that you didn’t have to run and get. Would stay again if/when we come back to Maine.

This was a gorgeous place. Belfast was a cute little town not far away. We enjoyed eating at Rollies Bar and Grilland walking around town. Hannaford grocery store was close with average prices. We had approximately 1 1/2 hour drive when we visited Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor which were exceptional. We enjoyed the food at Geddys and Bar Harbor Inn. We also traveled to Owls head lighthouse and hiked through Camden State Park. This was a nice location we enjoyed our stay.

Our group of 5 adults loved our stay here. It was October and the fireplace was lovely - Keith provides plenty of wood and we had a toasty blaze every night. (I should clarify that there is also baseboard heat so we didn't actually need the fire for warmth.) The location is quiet and beautiful with deer outside the windows and the private pebble beach a minute walk away. The house was very clean and is a real, old-fashioned unfussy family cottage - a mix of comfy furniture from assorted eras for a cozy laid back non-Ikea experience. Just the sort of place for making Maine memories! We cooked in the whole time and the kitchen is well laid out and well supplied with utensils, cookware and dishware. Great to have the dishwasher and laundry for longer stays. Beds were comfy. Keith could not have been nicer or more responsive. Extra bonus: the little front bedroom has a view of Bear Island lighthouse. You KNOW you're in Maine.

Lauren’s cottage was fantastic! Warm and cozy. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The weather was unfortunately chilly and wet during part of our stay and the cottage was perfect to relax.

This house is remarkably beautiful and welcoming. The walls of windows welcome sunshine throughout and the private views of the water are unmatched. Artistic details abound in the interior - like Anthro and West Elm had a baby. We vacationed with our toddler and my in-laws and we all had ample space to gather, as well as disperse. Highly recommend! Local recs: The Activity Shop for kayak rental delivery, pizza from Blaze, coffee from Bucklyn, brunch at Humblebee Cafe, sundries from Blue Hill Co-op, blueberry pie from Mount Desserts (on way to Acadia).

Carrie was very communicative as a host and made check in and check out easy. The space was beautiful and worked as a great jumping off point for sightseeing in Acadia and Bar Harbor while being very private. Carrie left us some great local recommendations that made our stay even better!

Very aesthetically pleasing. Big, love the open concept. Super conveniently close to the ferry yet very private and quiet. Hot tub and sauna are an amazing plus! Great deck with comfy furniture, grill and outside eating table. Lots of room. Gregory was very communicative and responsive. Lives right on premises, but gives you your space. Trying to figure how to make it an annual family gathering place.

This house is a few streets over from the shopping in this area and 2 minutes to parts of Acadia National Park, but about 20 minutes to the visitors center for the park. The house was great for a family. The rooms with single beds are actually bigger than I expected from the pictures. The house was very clean and had everything we needed, including things to cook with. This area is less crowded than Bar Harbor.

What a beautiful location and house. There’s nothing better than sitting in the living room or front porch and being able to see the Belfast Bay. The house is very clean and neat. Beds are comfortable, shower is very hot. Don’t miss the sunrise in the mornings. Overall this is one of our favorite places we have stayed in Belfast.

Patrick's place was exactly as described. We'll appointed. It was in a private and serene location. Views of the ocean from the deck and windows facing the ocean were spectacular! Patrick was extremely responsive from booking through departure. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone not wanting the hustle and bustle of the Bar Harbor area. Utterly enjoyed our stay💖✨️

Great home in a great location. Very spacious and clean and Corey was very responsive. We had 0 problems with there being a restaurant down stairs. Beautiful views of the bay and a near by field where we watched little kittens playing with each other! It was adorable. We slept great and felt right at home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave! Everything about the cabin was well thought out. We loved having a fire and looking at the stars from the dock! Mark and Laurie were fantastic, friendly hosts and made us feel right at home. We would love to come back someday!
