The entire building observes a quiet time between 10:00PM-8:00AM which includes running your laundry as to not disturb the neighbors.

Super clean apartment with a nice harbor view
Loved the place. It was super clean which is huge for me. Nice furnishings. Really, really spacious too. Would stay here again. The only issue we had which was no fault of the property owner/management, was that extremely loud people were above us partying till 4 am. Otherwise, it was a really great place to stay! Great location too. :)

We stayed 4 nights at SW Harbor - everything is as good as it looks in the photos. Very spacious, clean, comfy decor and great view. It was a short drive to Acadia Nat'l Park each day. Absolutely no complaints!

quintessential MainView great location
we were for adults staying in this incredible condo overlooking Southwest Harbor. The view was stunning. It was so great from the deck that we did not want to leave The condo is so close to several great restaurants that we walked to. I cannot imagine, staying in a nicer place in a better location. Thank you so much for the spotless condition
