This property is exactly as advertised – except that they don’t tell you how fantastic the host family is! DeeDee and Scott made us feel welcome before we even arrived. The house is clean and well appointed. We didn’t need anything extra in the kitchen. The backyard is delightful in the evenings. We will definitely be back!

Wow--I think everyone had a great time !! I know the kids were happy to check out the pool a little ways from the house, even though the temp wasn't 90 degrees. It was a new adventure for them, swimming in colder water, from what they were used to. BUT-- it didn't take them long to jump in. Even though the mornings always looked a little questionable, as far as the weather, it did clear, and you were able to venture off and check things out. Lots to do here as you know, with lots of shops and good food and outside fun. Thanks so much for contacting us and taking the time to do a review. We hope you left with some great memories.

Great place to stay

The property is centrally located such that anything you need is a short walk in Bar Harbor. We really appreciated that the place is well-equipped and super clean, which made the stay very comfortable for our small family and the friends that joined us.

Thank you Lori, for your import about our rental here in Bar Harbor. We, do, care about our guests and the importance of a clean and well stocked place when someone is on vacation. The location is especially important if you are in a large group and don't want to depend on having to drive to restaurants and shops every time you go out. Glad you all had a good time! It was a pleasure meeting all of you! Thanks again for taking time to do a review.

Thank you, Dan and also to your family that joined you, for staying at our place for your first visit to Acadia. You traveled far, but I think it was worth it, to see and do all the things that were on your list for coming to Maine. ( I heard you even saw a couple moose up the the Greenville area) Glad you enjoyed the daily hiking trips. There are lots more that you didn’t get to do, I am sure, but maybe another time. Thanks again, it was a pleasure meeting all of you. (We are glad the kids enjoyed to Park Street Play Ground around the corner) Nice to have it so close by the rental.

Family trip to Bar Harbor

We had 6 family members staying at Bar Harbor Oasis for a Thanksgiving reunion. The entire experience was 5 stars. The trip manager was very thorough and timely in providing us with information. The home was exceptional - very clean and comfortable with a well-stocked kitchen and five lovely bedrooms with comfortable bedding. The neighborhood is quiet and a short walk to downtown Bar Harbor. Acadia National Park entrance is also close by. We will definitely keep this property in our travel file for future visits.

Thank you so much for staying at our place here in Bar Harbor. I know you enjoyed the ability to walk to town and the closeness to Acadia National Park. All this makes things so much easier when you prefer to leave your car in the driveway and walk or bike to various things during the day.
