Wallace's Market is great for food and takeout without having to drive back up to Route 1 and Jameson's has great food. The family is terribly accomodating and works very hard on keeping the place up.

We had a great time at Flood Cove in their log cabin! We enjoyed cozy fires in the evenings and…read moresitting in the cool screened in porch during the day. We used their kayaks and paddled around the little island and also across the bay to a small stony beach on a bigger island. We ate seafood almost every day, going to "Jameson Point Lobster" in Friendship or to Rockland to eat. We also cooked in the cabin, and found if we prepared food on the 10" bar we could also look out the window at the water. The people at the cove were all very warm and friendly.

I found Harborfields on AirBnB for Memorial Day Weekend. We chose the Shore Cottage out of the many…read morethat were available, mainly because this specific cottage is literally right on the water. The cottage sleeps up to 6 people and has an fully equipped kitchen with basic essentials. I was surprised to see there were coffee filters, garbage bags, dish soap, and basic kitchen appliances. The bathroom comes with toilet paper, hand soap, and a blow dryer. The beds were comfortable (we weren't expecting that considering we've slept on stiff beds many times during our travels). The biggest surprise of all was that the fireplace comes with firewood! You can also use one of their rowboats or kayak for free during your stay. We are very happy with the cottages and would love to come again. It really is a great getaway.

Perfect place for a Maine getaway…read more This isn't the yacht club down the street - this is a low key place that you go to relax and watch the water. The cabin I rented was perfect for me and a very large dog; we sat on the deck and watched the boats come and go. There was a dock with boats to use and Adirondack chairs scattered throughout so you could just watch the harbor. All the cabins are off the main road and tucked back towards the water. Was able to walk my dog just fine. Will def be back

Unfortunately the cottage was sold this year so I opted for a Thompson House cottage. I loved it! Have to hand it to the owners who patiently and graciously rescued me when I moved into the wrong cottage by mistake and locked myself out 3 times!

My husband and I have been spending a week at one of the Thompson cottages the past few years, and…read moreeven stretched it to two weeks last summer. We find it a time of profound relaxation, if we choose it so, with limited internet access and much time watching the ocean. We also spend a lot of time reading and walking, and learning more each year about Maine. We use the library built by the Thompsons, with a focus on books by Maine authors, or set in Maine, plus the latest bestsellers. We use the books on local trails and sites to explore the area. Karen and Merle and the staff are always helpful, and have really helped us get to know the area. We'll be back in years to come, and are considering adding a May visit. After all, we want to get to know Maine in the springtime, as well as at the height of summer. And we know a wonderful place to serve as our home base.

This home is perfect and the owner has clearly thought of everything. The house is technically 4…read morebedrooms and 1 bath, but we only used the upstairs (1K 1Q) - the first floor has two small rooms with a twin in each; the bathroom is upstairs. Highlights: the kitchen is fully (and may I add perfectly) stocked to actually cook dinner in - lobster pots and crackers, pots, pans, knives, everything. They even provide the dish soap and paper towels...something we never get when we travel in the south. There is a washer dryer (again, there is soap) in the basement. Next, there are tons of books, DVDs, an XBox and even toys/books for little ones! Since we were flying this was key. There is also a crib, high chair and stroller. Other rentals up here don't offer that! The deck is great - lots of seating and a nice view of the harbor. They have some adirondack chairs down by the shore and a fire pit. You can walk to the marina (buy lobster from a lobsterman!) or into town in just a few minutes. Oh and there is AC...again many places up here don't have it and you never know if it will be 95 or 75 up here in summer...we've had both! It's about 25- minutes to get into Acadia National Park, which may seem far. But the town of Southwest Harbor is so quaint I'm glad we stayed here.
