About this area
Mt. Desert Island’s second largest village, Southwest Harbor, features a charming Main Street with an appealing assortment of shops and restaurants. The neighboring village of Manset, which is along the southern shore of the harbor, tends to be rural in nature but features a number of excellent restaurants and boatyards, including Hinckley Yacht Yard and Morris Yachts, both of which boast an international reputation. If Bar Harbor is the ‘gateway’ to Acadia, Southwest Harbor is the gateway to Acadia’s westside trails and attractions, including Seawall, Ship’s Harbor, and Echo Lake, all between five and eight minutes from the village center.

Pros: Port is a nice property with decent amenities. Tranquil setting with a beautiful view of the harbor. Room for a family of 4. Convenient to town, but not in town. Easy parking. It was great to have a grill right on the deck. There were plenty of paper products, laundry detergent and dried herbs & oil for cooking.
Cons: The sheets on one bed were unclean so we washed them. The same room had a loud annoying humidifier that needs to stay on “at all times” which not only made it hard to sleep, but made the room hot (machine always cycling). Not fans of the bedrooms being in basement. “Stairway” to 3rd bedroom is more like a ladder; very steep and prob not for littles or older folks. The only air conditioner is in the master, so it was crazy hot & humid upstairs (prob not typical ME weather).
Had a nice trip regardless of these complaints.
From The Knowles Company:
Hi, Wylie – we’re sorry you were surprised by this home’s layout and features, which we feel are thoroughly detailed in our description and reflected in its rate. We always strive to correct any mis-steps in cleaning as soon as we are made aware of them. And you’re right about the hot humid weather that week being atypical! Hopefully you won’t let this experience deter you from returning to another house that is better suited for you!
Our third time staying here and we love it everytime! Great location with short walk to town and easy drive to Bar Harbor and Eagle Lake. Great Dock to sit on and soak in the rays!
We loved our stay at The Port at Windward Shores. It was an adorable condo with beautiful views. It was so clean. It was roomy but yet quaint like home. I would highly recommend this place.
