Harbor Watch - water views & walk to town

Come discover why the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island is really where the action is! Sit in the living room or lay in bed and enjoy amazing sun rises overlooking the harbor. Located within walking distance of everything downtown has to offer, this cute New Englander style home with harbor views is the perfect base to explore all the treasures of MDI. Just a short drive to some of the best attractions Acadia has to offer and located on the Island Explorer route so you can travel around hassle free. Be among the first to enjoy this all new renovation, with new furniture and appliances.
This home is a renovated 1800's classic New England style home. We have added energy efficient heating and cooling and new windows, as well as all new baths and a large modern kitchen. Please note the original layout of the home has been preserved which includes the bathrooms being located on the first floor of the house. The stairs to the second floor are steep, as was typical of 19th century homes of this style. Be careful on the way up to the upstairs.
We supply a starter supply of the follow to get your trip started right!
2 rolls toilet paper per bathroom
1 roll paper towels per kitchen
1 box tissues
A few dishwasher pods
Dish Soap
Hand soap
Bar soap in showers
