Osprey Nest was our home for the first 7 years we were back in Southwest Harbor while Breakwater downstairs was a rental. We welcomed our son into the world while living up here and have many fond memories with family and friends, we hope you all do as well!
The sunrise over Islesford and Great Cranberry Island from bedroom #3 (or the deck) is amazing! If you're not a morning person, you can at least set your alarm, open the shades, enjoy the view, and go back to bed!
The elevated deck, 20ft above the parking area is by far the spot where most folks spend their time. The deck is sunny with a full southern exposure, all while overlooking Southwest Harbor. The built in bartop on the railing is a great place to enjoy a meal prepared on the Weber grill and overlook the marina. After supper, start the outdoor fireplace and relax while the sun goes down.
We have all the advantages of all the other Main street property with a sidewalk going right into town so you can park you car and walk to the market, pub, restaurant, or playground. However, we are a B lot so we have buffer from the road to dampen any traffic noise and not worrying about the kids or the dog being too close to the road. Being on the side of a hill we still have a great view without our front neighbors obstructing the Harbor.
