Vacation rentals with a patio in Southwest Harbor

Tidal Shores

Relax and take it all in. Thanks to an ever-changing tide the view is constantly changing. From one of two decks, you'll see so much: a working harbor, big exposed rocks, small islands (bring your rain boots to trudge through the clam flats), and plenty of wildlife. At high tide launch your canoe and paddle around the harbor. Or just sit, read a book, and take it all in. A short ride (5-10 minutes) brings you to beautiful hiking trails, delicious food, locally owned boutiques, and so much more.

Cozy Cottage on the Penobscot — Panoramic Luxury!

Escape to your private waterfront retreat where tranquility meets luxury. Our Coastal Maine Cottage style home rests on a granite ledge that disappears twice daily with the tide. Enjoy a sun-filled interior with cherry floors, a gourmet kitchen, and a private deck for sunrise coffee or evening wine. Wake to sweeping Penobscot River views & unwind by the fire pit at river’s edge. Just 10 minutes to downtown Bangor, with easy access to urban amenities, Bar Harbor, and Acadia Park. @cozycottageinme
