Ocean view 4 br, huge deck with grill, walk to town, pet friendly locally owned

Locally owned, maintained and occupied by an Island family of several generations, Breakwater (Formerly Black Dog Watch) is a large apartment in a newer duplex on an elevated property across the harbor, offering wonderful views of Southwest Harbor, Manset shore, and the Cranberry Isles. Park your cars on the property and walk 5 minutes to all that Southwest Harbor has to offer by being right on Main St. The pier is directly across the street along with 2 restaurants within throwing distance. The house offers WiFi, cable, Roku, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and Disney + for evenings and rainy days. Breakwater can sleep 8-10 people with 2 king sized rooms, 2 rooms with a set of twins, and an optional futon and couch. The 680 sq. ft. deck also overlooks the ocean with deck furniture, picnic table, and new Weber gas grill for enjoying warm summer evenings.

We are avid animal lovers and welcome well behaved and well mannered pets after discussing your pets with us ahead of time. We reserve the right to deny pets if necessary. Maggie the Black Dog lives next door with us, so if you can't bring your pets and want a visit, I'm sure Maggie can schedule some time into her busy schedule for you to throw the ball for her.

The Island offers a free bus service through the Island Explorer that has pick up locations just walking distance from the house. Explore all our Island has to offer without touching your car for your entire trip.

There are also several paddle board, kayak, canoe, bike, and scooter rental shops for you to enjoy the Island even better. Golfers will enjoy the x3 18 hole golf courses on the Island including The Causeway Club right in Southwest Harbor plus one more just off the Island in Trenton.

You won't have a hard time filling up your vacation with activities in Southwest Harbor, only a hard time trying to do them all.

This apartment can be combined with our 3 bedroom apartment, Osprey Nest for a total of 7 bedrooms if availability exists.

Great spot for family vacation
We stayed at Breakwater in October 2023 with two young families. The apartment is well stocked and worked well for two couples with three kids under 4. Luke was super accomodating and provided us with pack n plays and a high chair, and was also very responsive. Location is great - walk across the street to the harbor to check out boats and birds, or walk down to the village for breakfast or dinner. We loved our stay in Southwest Harbor and at Breakwater. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed for our Maine vacation.

Accommodations were great
The place was well stocked and had everything we needed. The location right in Southwest Harbor gave us a great view of the harbor and in close proximity to restaurants and the town. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are in close proximity where we spent several days. The owners were very responsive to our needs.

Multi-generation family vacation for 6
Nice place with a nice view. Two grandparents, three adults, and an infant. We didn’t even need to use one of the bedrooms. We were pleased with the arrangement of the bathroom and half bath both being accessed from the living room area and available without having to go through anyone’s bedroom. Nice location within easy walking distance of Southwest Harbor shops and restaurants. Short drive to hiking trails, museums, and Acadia National Park. Very nice hosts provided helpful tips for hikes, restaurants, and groceries.

Excellent stay and location
This was our first trip to Acadia and couldn’t have picked a better property. It was as described. We were very comfortable with how roomy the house was and ended each night on the deck with the fire-pit and great view of the dock across the way. The house was very clean and well-situated within short walking distance to the town’s shops and restaurants. Luke is always accessible and extremely helpful with any questions and recommendations. It was relaxing to be on the quieter side of the island, with plenty of hiking trails nearby, but also close enough with a short drive to the Bar Harbor area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

Perfect Getaway
My husband and daughter stayed three nights and it was perfect for them. Luke and Jackie were very friendly and responsive, the condo was clean, cozy and comfortable, and the location was close to hiking, kayaking, restaurants, etc. Highly recommend!

Great choice
We're so glad we picked this as our home base for our time in the Acadia National Park area. The location is terrific: a lovely view of the harbor, and close to the park but without the crowds of Bar Harbor. Luke and Jackie have provided so many nice touches and extras, from high-quality cookware, kitchen tools and spices, etc., to laundry detergent and dryer sheets for the washer and dryer (a great convenience). We also appreciated how clean the home was, plus the excellent guide books about the area. Thanks for a wonderful visit, and we hope to return!

Great stay
Our family of four had a wonderful stay! We were conveniently situated within walking distance of many of Southwest Harbor’s shops and restaurants. The apartment itself was perfect, sparkling clean, well-stocked and thoughtfully appointed. Luke and Jackie are A+ hosts — excellent communications and suggestions.
