Great location in bar harbor for a large family trip with 11

Really great location. Everything in bar harbor is walkable which is great so you aren’t dealing with parking. Easy access to activities on the water and to the national park. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Host was easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful house in Bar Harbor

Beautiful, spacious, well-equipped home! We only had to get food and cooked all our meals there. This house is a short walk to all the shops and restaurants. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Bar Harbor

Fabulous house; clean, quiet and very comfortable. Can walk to the harbor and see sunset and sunrise. Walk to Bar Island Path, grocery store, cute shops and restaurants. Acadia National Park is a short ride way. Can hike the south and north Bubbles, ride or hike up Cadillac Mountain, many hiking trails, visit Sand Beach, eat at Lobster Pound. Wonderful place. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay. This was our second year at this house. The home was clean, comfortable and convenient. Great for large family groups like ours. We had 11 people. It’s very walkable to town. A great starting point to visit Acadia park.

Excellent rental

Overall very positive stay in Bar Harbor. The house was perfect for 2 couples. It was unfortunate that the stove had a broken knob that forced them to shut off the stove/gas but communications were very good on this problem. Property location is extremely convenient to the park and to downtown Bar Harbor (less than 3 blocks). We were also relieved that the park was open and the government shut down had been averted.

Holidays in Bar Harbor

This was such a perfect house for spending the holidays in Bar Harbor with our adult children. Tons of space, great location, nice office area with good internet and extra monitor, totally stocked kitchen with everything you need to make any meal. The house is older, but in the most charming way. Just what you’d hope for when vacationing in Maine! My only suggestion would be to add a rug for shoes near the backdoor during winter.

Some silverware was put in the drawer dirty. There were no clothes hangers in the closets. We were there for a wedding with tuxedos and formal gowns. VRBO host did not reply to this problem until the day before we left. Could not find any anywhere. Not impressed with VRBO; however. the house was as described. The location could not have been better.

Very cute and comfortable home in an absolutely perfect location. We truly enjoyed our stay on this quiet street, which was convenient to everything. It was very nicely furnished (with the exception of uncomfortable kitchen table chairs) and spacious, with a well-stocked kitchen, nicely appointed bathrooms (with modern fixtures) and lots of space.If I *had* to be nitpicky, here were some things that I and our friends noticed/commented on:- While the leather(ish) living room sectional couch was comfy, it was so deep that we think additional throw pillows or back support would be nice. we kept sliding down them! - A "guest user manual" for the downstairs and upstairs TVs would be helpful as it took a lot of futzing to figure out the TV and streaming services (especially because previous guests hadn't logged out of accounts and it was blocking our ability to sign in). We had to reach out to the property manager who responded but whose guidance ad advice was not particularly helpful. I think some kind of manual or instructions would eliminate any confusion. -We had to reach out to property manager in the middle of our stay because there was no laundry detergent available and paper towels were locked away in storage. He did respond promptly. - Appreciated the cooler provided for guest useThe home was decorated very nicely with a Maine/Bar Harbor theme that wasn't over the top or tacky -- we commented on how lovely the dining room was.All in all, we highly recommend!

Amazing location. Walking distance to restaurants, bars and harbor. The only reason I gave an overall 4 star rating is due to the fact that the bathroom on middle level didn't have a lock. Otherwise it was great house!

Family vacation to Bar Harbor

This home was the perfect location for walking any where around Bar Harbor. Even grocery store was within walking distance. Kitchen was very well stocked with all our cooking needs. Bedrooms were comfortable. Nice bathrooms. There were plenty of games for kid entertainment. Had a concern during our stay that the owner was quick to respond to and even followed up. Would definitely recommend this propert!

Awesome in Acadia

Our whole family spent just under a week together in this lovely home with three stories and five bedrooms! The third story suite was perfect for our oldest son, wife and baby infant. House is very comfortable with tons of well maintained and stocked kitchen supplies! That’s such a gift! We cooked three nights. Bess all comfortable with nice bedding and towels. Tons of baby items to include pack n play, high chair and baby gate. Toys galore for adult games an and baby amusement. Host was super with communication and location was great. I would stay again.

Best rental in Bar Harbor!

This place offered everything we could have wanted and more. The location was perfect. We could walk to everything and was only 5 minutes from Acadia NP. The home itself was probably the best stocked rental we’ve ever stayed in. It had absolutely everything we could have wanted and more from kitchen to bathroom to grill etc. the pictures didn’t do the place justice. It is clean and updated And had more than enough room for our family to spread out. We loved it!
