3 Bedroom House in Southwest Harbor

Historic Harbormaster’s House on the Great Harbor
Step into coastal Maine history at the beautifully restored Harbormaster’s House, originally built in 1888 and thoughtfully renovated in 1989. Located on picturesque Clark Point Road, this year-round residence offers sweeping views of the Great Harbor and a front-row seat to the ever-changing marine activity — from lobster boats to sailboats gliding by.
Inside, the home combines modern comfort with classic charm:
3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms
Spacious open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area
Two laundry rooms for added convenience
Second-floor office/sitting room with harbor views
Harborside decks perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails
Large basement with ping-pong table for indoor fun
The main floor primary suite features an ADA-compliant bathroom and a private screened porch — ideal for relaxing with a book or enjoying cool sea breezes.
A one-car attached garage offers direct entry to the home. Outside, meander through lush perennial gardens down a quiet path to the shore, where a private beach and dock invite you to launch kayaks, cast a line, or simply watch the tide roll in.
New in 2024: A spacious deck and cozy boathouse at the water’s edge — your perfect, sheltered hangout with comfortable seating and stunning views. End your evening stargazing from the Adirondack chairs on the dock — the night sky here is unforgettable.
Just five houses from the Southwest Harbor Town Dock, and a short 10-minute walk to Beal’s Lobster Pound and downtown Southwest Harbor, with its charming shops, restaurants, historic inns, and museum — this home is perfectly positioned for your Acadia National Park adventures.

Summary: We stayed in this beautiful home in early April. It is a quiet time of year and we even had snow. The home is spacious and has gorgeous views and the owners have everything provided to make you comfortable. We were able to easily walk to town and loved visiting the library, the little Episcopal church, and especially the Wendell Gilley museum. We hiked three days in Acadia and the home was very convenient to the park. This home has good energy. I would love to come back with my adult kids. I highly recommend.

Summary: What a wonderful experience in the off season for our anniversary celebration! The house is very clean and the views were great! We really enjoyed the new boathouse as the storm moved in, just a great experience! The host had a bottle of champagne chilling for us on arrival! Very thoughtful! I highly recommend this space for any occasion! Thanks so much for sharing your space with us!

Summary: My 5 friends and I booked 3 nights at Meg’s home and it was incredible. We loved cozying up on the sofa, playing games with a view of the harbour, and cooking in the well-stocked kitchen. Everyone was so happy with the beds and slept well, nice quality sheets, close to Beale’s, Little Fern and Harry’s for great food and cocktails. It was the perfect cozy Maine weekend and Meg was the BEST host and so so accommodating.

Summary: We had an amazing time in the Harbormasters house. The setting right at the waterline is nothing short of amazing. Between the upper deck and the nicely newly updated waterfront deck we spend most of our time outside looking at the harbor. House is very clean and the furniture is very charming and comfortable.

Summary: So many times one enters the Vrbo only to find out that the photos aren’t as representational as the actual house. This place was actually better than the photos! very big with lots if space to enjoy. amazing views over Southwest Harbor even in the off-season it was a wonderful place to be. Kitchen was very plentiful with all the necessary items to cook. Spacious great view from upstairs to work remote overlooking the harbor as well. Can’t wait to go back.

Summary: We had a great time on our trip to Acadia, and the house was the perfect base for our small group of friends. The house is very beautiful and comfortable, with all what you can need for a vacation. And the hosts are wonderful people, very kind and helpfult, always ready for give support and good advice. We felt really at home, and the house is very big and perfectly kept. The location is superb, very close to the park and all the attractions, but at the same time not in busy Bar Harbor. We really preferred to stay in the quiet and relaxed area of Southwest Harbor, where the house is. Thanks a lot to Meg and family for the hospitality, and if we visit the area, for sure we will look for the house again. Warm regards, Marco, Alfredo, Javier, Pepe and Gerardo
