Fantastic Stay in Bar Harbor

The house is great. The location is on a quiet street and the house is an easy walk to anywhere in town. The house was clean, and very well equipped -- especially in terms of kitchen and cooking needs. We enjoyed our stay and recommend the house. Also, it has a very nice front orch for relaxing. We were eight people and the house was comfortable for us.

Family gathering

This property was perfect for us (in our 70s) and our daughter and family (2 year old son). This house is spacious, clean, updated enough to have the amenities you need, exceptionally well stocked. There were even puzzles and a t ball set that the 2 year old could enjoy. Communication with Veena was excellent. Highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Stay - Beautiful Area

Beautiful, comfortable home with all the conveniences needed. We were happy to see a lobster pot so we could steam fresh lobster. The location is ideal; 2-3 blocks from the harbor, shopping, restaurants and grocery store. No need to move your car. The Bar Harbor area is fantastic. We hiked in Acadia Park daily. Veena, the house host, is a friendly, attentive host. An area and house to revisit!

Great location

Traveled with my husband & 2 adult children. The house was perfectly located within walking distance of restaurants, grocery & shopping. Was only a short drive to Acadia for many amazing hikes. Bike rentals were also walking distance & we were able to ride from the house to the Carriage Roads. The kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable with ample pillows & blankets. Also had plenty of towels. We had plenty of room to rest but then come together again for family time. Would definitely stay again!

Spacious & Walkable

We were very pleased with most everything about the home and location. On-site parking at the back door was great. Short walk to grocery store, downtown area and waterfront / docks. Spacious living room and ample cooking pots, pans, and place settings. Quick drive to Acadia NP. Liquid hand soap is provided but no bath products, so bring your own. Could have used a few more towel rods or hooks in bathrooms, but we managed

Location, location, location!

This house is exactly as shown and described. Very clean and well maintained. Very stocked kitchen if you want to cook at home. Many bedrooms and bathrooms for privacy with adult groups. We had five adults so this was perfect. The location is incredible. So close to town, you can walk to restaurants, bakeries, even the grocery store in just a few minutes. Very close to the Bar Island walk as well. Yet even though you are so close to town, you are just far enough away to be on a quiet street. Lots of onsite parking as well. Acadia Park is also close. I highly recommend this property. Communications with property manager was quick and easy as well.

Acadia Vacation

We had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor and the house worked perfectly for our families needs. The 4 bedrooms worked great for 4 couples. No one needed to sleep in a double or a twin room. Everyone said their beds were comfortable and that is super important. Walking distance to everything Bar Harbor has to offer and even the Grocery Store. Had two e-bikes and two regular bikes. The e-bikes got tons of use but the carriage trails are hilly so after the 1st day people didn’t use the regular bikes.Super easy to walk to the Village Green and take the Island explorer into the park!

Bar Harbor fall vacation

My familly and I stayed in Bar Harbor Oct 14-28. The house was exactly as pictured and described. When we arrived the house was immaculate. Very clean and well appointed. Simple things matter: soft toilet paper, kleenex in every room, plush towels, comfortable beds and the whole place smelled so good. The kitchen was our main gathering place and it was surprisingly well stocked. Our intent was to cook many meals in and nearly everything we needed was there. Spices, oils, plastic wrap, pancake mix, flour, brown sugar etc. There were plenty of dishes and pans to cook with. The coffee maker was especially handy as it was able to do a large pot of coffee or use individual pods. It was a Ninja brand. The location of the house was absolutely perfect!. It was close to everything. We walked everywhere. We walked to little shops, to restaurants (our favorites were, Side Street Cafe, Thirsty Whale and Jordon's). The grocery store is only a block away and little ice cream shops and coffee shops are close too. We drove to Acadia for our fabuous hikes and it was only 10 - 15 minutes away. So nice to come home in the evening and not have to worry about parking. The water was nice and hot for showers after a long and tiring day of hiking. And it was so quiet in the evenings for a good night's sleep. We loved everything about this house. It was the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed in. Book it quick because it will make your vacation to Acadia/Bar Harbor area the best ever!
