Perfect location to enjoy Acadia

We loved everything about our stay. From the kitchen having what we needed, to the hot tub and fire pit being just what we needed after a day of hiking, to the comfortable living area, it was all as advertised and perfect for us. We loved being on the quiet side with just a short drive to what we wanted to do!

My family and I loved staying here! It was centrally located to many of must sees on the island and it’s located in a quaint little harbor - Southwest Harbor. It’s walkable distance to shops, restaurants, and downtown area. The hot tub was great too after a long day exploring. Pictures are accurate and the rental was clean. Check in/checkout was simple and easy.

This is our second stay at Harbor Daze; that in itself explains our high ratings.We prefer the “Quiet Side”of Acadia. Access to Carriage Roads is easy and popovers at the Common Good is a must whenever we are in the area. This is a great nonprofit supporting the local community.The house was clean and the hot tub was a treat after biking ! Communication with Amanda was easy and incredibly fast. We are likely to return again !

A great home base on MDI.

We had an excellent stay at Harbor Daze this August. The house was extremely clean, functional, and had everything we needed to cook and be comfortable for the week. The highlight was coming back from hikes and bike rides and being able to soak in the hot tub! The house had nice views of the harbor and was close enough to walk to a few places for dinner, which was really nice.

Kitchen and home were overall well stocked and Amanda was very responsive. We loved it! Hope to return someday.

Wonderful week at Harbor Daze!

We had a wonderful week in this very comfortable, sunny home. It was great to be able to walk to the bakery, restaurants, etc. and to have a view of the harbor. We enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub at night after hiking and having blueberry muffins for breakfast out on the deck. I hope we'll be back again soon!

Great family vacation

We loved it, we were sad the lobster place across the street had closed but loved Beals instead! We walked for ice cream each night. The tv was nice for the olympics, the kitchen was well stocked and we made lobster twice! Hiked and spent the days at the park, we had people from age 6 all the way to 82 and everyone enjoyed it!! comfortable beds!!

Harbor Haze Haven

We recently completed a week vacation on MDI and stayed at Harbor Haze. It was wonderful! Southwest Harbor is a quaint little town and a good home base for exploring the beauty of Acadia. Harbor Haze had everything we needed / wanted and was within walking distance of town. Should we be fortunate enough to return to this area, Harbor Haze will definitely be on our short list.

Gem in Southwest Harbor!

We had a fantastic stay at Harbor Daze! We’ve been to SW Harbor several times in the past and this location and home did not disappoint. Extremely comfortable for our group of 6 (4 adults and two older teens). The one double bed was a little tight for a couple but we made it work. The kitchen was extremely functional and the location with a beautiful view of the harbor made for an easy short walk into the center of town. Would happily stay here again on our next return visit!

A lovely spot!

We have stayed in Southwest Harbor many times and love it. This house is beautifully kept up, amply supplied, and the responsiveness to questions or concerns is terrific. It's very close to town, which makes it easy to walk in for meals and fun. That also makes it rather noisy, as there's a lot of road traffic.

Staying in Southwest Harbor

We found that the property was well maintained and contained just about everything that we needed. Our grandchildren in particular liked the hot tub. When we needed extra chairs for around the table for dinner, our host was quick in delivering them to us. We enjoyed having a meal on the deck and found that we could easily walk into town.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The house was very clean and had all the amenities that we needed. Amanda was very prompt on responding to any questions and providing us with different options to see and eat. Southwest Harbor is approximately 20 minutes from Bar Harbor. It is a real quiet and quaint area. Watched the sunrise at Seawall. Drove all around the island. Food was great. bar Harbor is busy, but beautiful. House is across the street from a large marina. Nice sort walk to see it. We would recommend this place. Thanks
