Pier One Vacation Rentals, a unique compound of waterfront suites, are located on a private cove two minutes from the picturesque village of Southwest Harbor, Maine. Five well appointed accommodations with manicured grounds and private outdoor decks on a sheltered cove offer unsurpassed peace and tranquility. Inviting picture windows capture ever-changing harbor activities, yet the 150-foot, private pier is exclusively for guests of Pier One. Dock and launch your canoe, kayak or small boat right outside the door. Pier One suites, apartments and cottages are situated on the western "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island and are perfect for the traveler who wants to write, reflect or just escape from the hectic outside world.

Pier One accommodations range from a studio cottage built on a cliff, to an efficiency apartment right on the rocky shoreline. Pier One's newest addition is a bright and sunny two-level apartment with atrium ceilings, bay windows and morning deck overlooking the garden and ocean beyond. All accommodations are light, bright and beautifully appointed with no small detail overlooked. Fine linens and towels, cable TV, high speed, wireless Internet access, telephones with answering machines, hair dryers, make-up mirrors and very well equipped kitchens ensure your stay is memorable for its unique attention to your comfort and privacy.

Although your car is welcome, many guests prefer to explore this wonderful area by sailboat, kayak or canoe, or by bicycle and on foot. At Pier One Vacation Rentals, step into your boat from your front door. Explore the protected waters of Long Pond, Echo Lake or Bass Harbor Marsh. If you're feeling adventurous try the open waters of Southwest Harbor. You are also a mere two minute walk from the Harbour Cottage Inn and the quaint village of Southwest Harbor.
