Harbor Watch - water views & walk to town

Enjoy sunrises over the water from this newly renovated 3-bedroom 2 bath house in Southwest Harbor. With 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds, this delightful property offers everything your group needs for an awesome trip to Acadia. . . a washer and dryer, AC, a wonderfully equipped kitchen, and WiFi. Enjoy dining and cooking on the back patio or walk to one of the many local restaurants in town. The house also has a dedicated office that also serves as an additional den for reading or watching tv. Echo Lake and Long Pond are a short drive away for some of the best freshwater swimming, fishing or kayaking on the island. You can hunt for beach treasurers and enjoy the ocean at the small beach across the street or a few minutes away at Seawall. The infamous Bass Harbor Lighthouse is about 10 mins away where you can enjoy the most amazing sunsets over the water. Bar Harbor is about 20 mins from the house if you want to spend an afternoon or evening shopping, dining or people watching. We are also located a short walk to the Island Explorer route, which runs seasonally free transportation all over the island.
