A great vacation place!

We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our stay at the Harbor Daze. The view is beautiful and the accomodations very adequate. We hiked and canoed and cooked lobsters a few days... We went to the airport and went on a glider ride-it was awesome ! We ate in town at a couple local restaurants and enjoyed the views from the deck.We did a day trip to Greenville, Moosehead Lake to look for moose and we found them- so neat and we got some great photos..

Beautiful Sunrise

  • Submitted: Nov 14, 2012
  • Stayed: Oct 2012
Taken from Guest Feedback Sheet: Beautiful sunrise from the fantastic windowfront walk (deck). Located close to the quaint town of Southwest Harbor. Walking distance from many great shops, restaurants, the pier, etc. Very affordable price. Close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia, yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home in Southwest Harbor! We had a wonderful time and will be sure to contact you when we return to Maine in the future.

Exactly The Way it Was Advertised

  • Submitted: Oct 23, 2012
  • Stayed: Sep 2012
Taken from handwritten note: Dear Becky, Just a quick note to let you know we are home and just how much we enjoyed our stay in your beautiful state. The house was perfect, almost like being home. It beat our expectations (very nice!). I didn't do anything on line because I hate signing up for anything - I get enough spam. We had a wonderful time and everything was exactly the way it was advertised. Had a great time and will recommend this home to our friends. I hope your next guests enjoyed it as much as we did. Also hope we left it to your satisfaction. Thank you again.

We loved our stay in May 2006 when it was only ourselves and we loved our stay this week now with our three girls. They also loved it. Southwest Harbor is a great place to stay on MDI. You may see some of our friends!

Clean and Spacious

  • Submitted: Sep 4, 2012
  • Stayed: Jul 2012
This was the first vacation rental we have ever booked on line before. From the minute I talked with Becky she was like talking to someone I knew for years. Harbor Daze was clean and spacious enough for my wife and two teen age kids to spread out. The views from the deck of Southwest Harbor were really nice as were the people in the local shops and restaurants. The island was beautiful and so glad we made a last minute decision to drive up Cadillac Mt. where the views were breathtaking. I highly recommend the nature cruise out of Bar Harbor if you like to see eagles and seals in their natural environments. We have recommended Harbor Daze to several friends who are considering it for next year's vacation. Thank you again Becky for making our vacation a most memorable one.
