Property Description
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. We lost Maggie, or orginal Black Dog in '23, but our new little black girl Lucy lives next door with us now. If you can't bring your pets and want a visit, I'm sure Lucy can schedule some time into her busy schedule for you to throw the ball for her. We also have a little "bobcat" named Lily that likes to perform acrobatics on various hand rails across the property. 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.

Easy to get to. Lots of room to relax and play games with the family. Host was very nice. We arrived late due to flights and he went over and put the lights on for us. He also answered my questions before we got there.

This was an excellent stay! Luke communicated the check in process/info before we arrived, along with some local recommendations. He provided contact info for himself and others in case of emergencies. The location was clean, and a large space for us to relax. We had a gorgeous view of the harbor and it was walking distance to some local places. We enjoyed sitting on the huge deck (and the gate provided helped to keep our dogs on the deck). We met Luke as he lives nearby and appreciated his local suggestions. We would definitely recommend this location to stay again- it was a short drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor and just what we wanted. Thank you again for providing such a great stay!

Wonderful ocean view. Excellent owner very communicative. Property was clean. Wasn't clear at time of booking – probably my own fault – this is the lower half of an up/down duplex. Some noise from upstairs but not enough to bother us. Great access to Acadia wonderful restaurant across the street and coffee half a block away.

The unit was very clean and nicely furnished. The location was so convenient to everything in Southwest Harbor. Luke was easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed as far as information and directions.

We had a great time at this property! We loved the SW Harbor location and proximity to restaurants. The drive to Acadia was 25 minutes or so, and there are some nice trails closer to SW Harbor too. The kitchen was well stocked and the room setup was perfect for 4 adults and 4 kids. Would definitely stay again!

Great location Great location in Southwest Harbor. Not nearly as crowded as Bar Harbor, which is exactly what we were looking for. Short walk to restaurants, shops, coffee shops in town. Easy ride to nearby Acadia hiking, beaches, etc. Host (Luke) made check in process easy, would definitely book a return trip!

Luke was great and the place was awesome! Close to the center of the town, and not too far of a drive to get into the main park.
