Lovely home and awesome location

The home was perfect and Bobby and Sandi were awesome! Replied in minutes to any questions we had - super responsive and sweet. House is very nice and the hosts included everything we needed. We love walking so loved how we could walk into town and also walk over to the trails and do some beautiful hikes. We also brought bikes and did some nice rides. If you are looking for a lovely home, close to Acadia and town, with very responsive hosts, we would totally recommend this house.

Great house near the center of Bar Harbor

We had a terrific day at the house. The owner is very nice and easy to work with. The house is exactly as advertised. The location is excellent in just a few blocks from the center of Bar Harbor. We also worked out at the YMCA, which is only one block away. And managed to work in a pickle ball game at the YMCA as well. Terrific day. Highly recommend.

Sets a high bar

Bobby and Sandi’s place was an amazing find. Great location, abundant amenities, and wonderful hosts. The property is well laid out so that we didn’t feel we were on top of one another. Two full bathrooms made the days easier to get a group going out the door and settled in at the end of the day. The fireplace made for a cozy gathering space at night and the comfortable beds and quiet neighborhood made for great sleeping. As we were there in off season, getting to and around Acadia by car was easy and the Park is amazing. Great restaurants and shopping are just blocks away from the house so, in high season this could be an ideal location to avoid traffic in Bar Harbor and use the frequent bus routes to access Acadia. We are already dreaming of a return trip to Bobby and Sandi’s place.

A BIG slice of Heaven on Earth!

Bobby and Sandi brought our favorite vacation spot to a whole new level. The house is immaculate and had everything we needed (and then some). We like to cook and wanted for nothing in the galley. The furniture in the living room is very comfortable and the fireplace was a welcome treat. The bed in the master bedroom was fantastic and made for a good night's sleep. We loved being able to walk to town and the fact that there are sidewalks on the surrounding streets (a real treat for our pup). The town fields are in the backyard, and we met fellow dog owners and played some frisbee. I can hardly wait to return in the Spring so we can enjoy the front porch and backyard.

Thanksgiving Get-away

My daughter, dog and I visited Bar Harbor for the first time over the Thanksgiving holiday. We arrived finding a fresh pumpkin pie and lovely note of welcome on the kitchen counter. From this initial greeting, our stay was nothing short of magical. Bobby and Sandy's house is perfectly situated--close to downtown and all the Main street shops and restuarants and it backs up to a park which is perfect for those traveling with their fur baby. An added amenity is the fenced in back yard. The house was clean, the beds were comfy and the tv was easy to work, the neighborhood friendly and safe. I would not hesitate to recommend this property if someone desires an authentic Bar Harbor experience!

Perfect Location

Photos do not do this property justice. The downstairs has been beautifully redone. The kitchen has everything you need, and the great big island in the middle is perfect for the teenagers to eat on. Backyard was perfect for our dogs. We Loved sitting on the back deck, drinking coffee in the morning and drinking wine and beer in the evening. Even when we were tired at night, we were close enough the teenagers could walk to stores and restaurants. Communication with the owners was perfect. They reached out and responded to questions before our stay, provided us with all the details we needed, and I’m assuming if we needed them during our stay, they would’ve responded immediately, but everything was perfect so we did not need them. The house was fully stocked, including towels, coffee, soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, Water bottles, and even a surprise treat for us when we arrived. This was our eighth trip to Acadia, and we have stayed remote out in Winter Harbor, in a luxury house with indoor pool down in Tremont, in a small remote house about 20 minutes away from Bar Harbor, but this was the first time we stayed in Bar Harbor. It definitely allowed for a different experience as we were able to enjoy the Fourth of July festivities. We were able to skip parking nightmares and simply walked downtown. We actually walked all the way down to the Bar Harbor whale Boat company, and back again late at night after the fireworks. Definitely recommend these owners and this house.

Adult Multi Generation Stay in Bar Harbor

My husband and I brought my 75yo+ parents to Bar Harbor/Acadia. Bobby was FANTASTIC! The communication leading up to and day of arrival was top notch. Arrival was simple and easy and the house was well stocked. The little things - clock with plenty of charging ports beside the bed, waters in the fridge, umbrellas in the closet, detergent and shampoo/conditioner/wash in the bathrooms. Sincerely appreciate the extra touches! WiFi was great, the TVs in the rooms were all nice and worked well, and we went from AC to heat (June in Bar Harbor...) and everything was perfect. Seating area in living area was very comfortable. Note - there is a very small step up to the kitchen from the living area so just be careful you don't trip. Even though one of the bathrooms is downstairs (with the tub), it was large and worked well. The bath upstairs was accessible to all rooms. The house was extremely clean and in a great area of town. Anywhere from 1/3 mile to a little over half depending on where you wanted to go - but close to some great restaurants by the park area of downtown Bar Harbor. With the driveway easily fitting a couple of cars, super convenient and about 10minutes into Acadia. There is a grocery store and Walgreens within a half mile as well. The area is all residential and while we didn't use it, a cute area out back to sit and eat - not to mention the front porch which was nice and comfortable. I'd definitely stay there again!

Perfect Bar Harbor home for dog family

Stepping into the home felt like it could be a second home outfitted exactly how I’d have left it for when I return, making start up easy. The fenced in yard was a treat, and the house adorable. The location is fantastic! So quick and easy to get to downtown or the Park.

Holidays in Bar Harbor

Took advantage of a warm spell in northern Maine and celebrated the holiday in Bar Harbor. We've stayed at this property several times before and have always had a positive experience. Great house and great location that is close to downtown and easy walk into Acadia NP. Won't hesitate to come back again.

Absolute Perfect Stay

First, the communication with the owner was top notch. Second, we research many properties before we choose where to stay and this property lived up to its reviews and our expectations. Third, this house was immaculate and homey without being too “sterile” like some rental properties. The neighborhood was so cute and had easy access to downtown. Acadia was pretty and super close, and had some great trails to hike! We came to the east coast for a different location for an “adults only” getaway vacation but we will definitely be back to Bar Harbor with our kids. They would love it here. We appreciate the owners sharing their place with us and for the cool Maine flag bag and delicious blueberry jam. Thanks for giving us a perfect place to stay our our very first ever trip to Maine!

Great stay

This property needed reviewed because it was a great stay and the owner couldn’t have been better! We have stayed at many VRBO properties and have rented one ourselves. They included a lot of nice extras…paper towels, extra towels (which were soft), laundry pods, coffee, toilet paper, beach towels if needed! We were fully expecting to have to make a quick trip to the store when we arrived! Mattresses comfy, plenty of blankets, and a great front porch to sit with our coffee! Half mile walk into town. We would rent again, but this place will be booked, I’m sure!

Fantastic Stay in Bar Harbor

The house location was great- easy walk to Main Street, yet very quiet. Everything was very clean & well decorated. The kitchen was excellent- very spacious and had anything you may need to fix a meal. The beds were comfortable & we slept great after busy days. Our host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend this property for a family vacation.
