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!

The house was large with tons of room to entertain and sleep. The bedrooms were big with plenty of room to feel comfortable. Right down the street from the action, 10 min or less walk to everything Bar Harbor. Fantastic location.

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.

Very comfortable home close to everything in town

Easy to just park and walk into town and very close drive to 2 entrances to acadia national park. There are 2 off street parking spots. The house was quiet inside and bed were comfy. They had fans and window air conditioner units which some rentals here do not. The owners checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed a couple of times during the week. Having 5 bedrooms is nice if you have a group. Kitchen is stocked well. There was a farmers market across the street in the ymca parking lot on sunday. There was also a basketball hoop and skate park there. Nice linens for shower and shower pressure was better than mine at home. And no problem with hot water even with multiple showers or at the same time in the 2 bathrooms. Very clean and comfortable. Outdoor patio with a grill and plenty of chairs and fire pit available as well. Would definitely return.

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.

This house was fantastic! It's a quick walk to main street, and only about 10-15 minutes driving to Sand Beach inside Acadia National Park. Super clean, nice backyard, plenty of sleeping space, tvs in every room, wifi...we all really enjoyed it!

A Bar Harbor Gem with the Sweetest Host!

This was truly one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home in this wonderful house in Bar Harbor. It was spotless, incredibly well-stocked with anything we could possibly need, and had more than enough space for our whole group to spread out and relax.The location couldn’t have been more perfect—just a short walk to the ocean path and within easy reach of everything in town. We felt completely safe, whether we were walking early in the morning or late at night, which made the whole experience that much more relaxing.But what really made this stay special was DeeDee, the owner. She went above and beyond in every way—checking in to make sure we were settled, offering spot-on recommendations for restaurants and activities (every single one was a hit!), and even had fresh muffins delivered to us! She honestly felt like a long-lost family member, and her kindness and care made this trip unforgettable.If you're looking for a clean, cozy, and perfectly located home in Bar Harbor with the kindest host imaginable—this is it. We’re already talking about when we can come back!
