This property is in a perfect location. We were able to walk to all of the restaurants and shops in Bar Harbor. The bedrooms worked out great with all of my family there. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The owner even had some toys for my grandchildren to play with in the backyard. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Perfect location in the center of Bar Harbor, easy walking distance from Bar Island, Shore Path, restaurants, groceries, bike shops, etc. There was more than enough space inside and out for our group of 5, either together or doing our own things. The house was clean and well stocked.

Perfect Bar Harbor Home – Spacious, Central, and Family-Friendly

We had an amazing stay with six adults and two kids under 4. The house was perfect for our group — five bedrooms gave us plenty of space, and the layout offered both privacy and great shared spaces. Everything was super clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the living areas were cozy and inviting.The location was unbeatable. We were just a 2-minute walk from Bar Harbor’s best restaurants and only 5 minutes from the most incredible oysters we've ever had. At the same time, the home is tucked away on a peaceful side street, so we had quiet mornings and restful nights — a rare and wonderful combo.It was also perfect for our young kids. There was space for them to play, rest, and feel at home without any stress. The whole place felt warm and welcoming, with little touches that made a big difference.We used the house as our base for Acadia adventures and loved coming back to such a comfortable, calm space. It worked beautifully for both kids and adults, and we truly couldn’t have asked for more.We loved this place and would absolutely stay again!

Amazing house in a fabulous location

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful and clean home that was a short walk to everything in Bar Harbor. This was one of our favorite vacations and this home is ideal for everything you could want to do in the area. It is steps from the walk to Bar Island, the shore path and fabulous restaurants in Bar Harbor. We really enjoyed our stay!
