Arnold Family on Mt. Desert Island

We had a great time exploring the island and Acadia National Park. Also ate plenty of lobster and other sea food. The property was nice but air conditioning in the big bedroom upstairs would have been nice.

Spacious House near Acadia, short walk to town

We really appreciated having so much space for all the cousins to play in. We were near the Acadia activities (hikes, bikes, and kayaks) and liked being able to walk to town (Southwest Harbor) for lobsters on the waterfront (Beal's Lobster Peal).

Not What I expected

The upstairs kids bedroom had dangerously stairs & ceil was so low an adult couldn’t stand up. Upstairs bathroom shower had a structural beam running so you could not stand up to take a shower. Bad design & surprise to have. Listing for bathrooms including bidets was inaccurate & shower curtain was moldy. Electrical outlet in an upstairs bedroom was not fastened to the wall. Home needs work / TLC & was over priced IMO.

Southwest Harbor/Acadia

The home was excellent for our family. We had 8 people stay and we enjoyed the spacious home and the surrounding area. Acadia was breathtaking. Beal’s Lobster Pier was a “must do” as well as Sail Acadia for their sunset cruise. The location of the home was convenient to everything.

Disappointing and Misrepresented

We were deeply disappointed to find the listing grossly misrepresented the property. It claimed to be located in a village, in a city center, on a lake, and on the waterfront—none of which were true. The outdoor space was not landscaped as pictured but was an uncut front yard behind a hedge encased in wire fence, facing a driveway and garage that housed another rental unit that had three different families rent it while we were there. These guests had a clear view into our front entrance and porch, compromising privacy.Inside, the layout was disjointed and not suited for large groups, as advertised. Gathering spaces were limited, and the main living area featured a sagging, uncomfortable couch and broken ottoman. We found a pill and vape pen in the cushions—clear signs of poor cleaning. Large thresholds posed tripping hazards, and railings were unstable.The kitchen was under-equipped for group meals. It lacked counter space, pantry storage, and had small, damaged, or missing cookware and utensils. Bedrooms were generally fine, but some had issues with doors, storage, or air conditioning. The upstairs bath was cramped with a wall protruding a foot into it and there are no bidets as marketed.We made the most of our time together, but the home failed to deliver what was promised. For the price and for a once-in-a-lifetime trip for our family matriarch, this rental felt like a poor investment and a letdown.

Lawn care was done during our stay but was done poorly.

Broken ottoman with signs of previous repair attempts underneath it.

The deck outside the dining room door is to the garage rental that’s never mentioned or shown in the property listing. There were multiple people during the week coming in and out of that rental.

Family vacation

Our family had a wonderful time in the Bar Harbor area. The house generally suited our needs. It was clean, with a nice sized yard, fire pit and gas grill. The kitchen is small and the toaster needs to be replaced. There are things that need to be addressed. The stairs leading to the area where children would stay were steep with narrow treads. A handrail at the top of the stairs would be much safer. The shower in the upstairs bathroom is not suitable for adults over 5’6” or so. There were no instructions for using the tvs which didn’t become an issue until a day of bad weather. The owner relies on email to communicate so by the time he got back to us we had already moved on.

Quirky Southwest Harbor House

Overall the house met our needs. The lockbox was difficult to open and the main entrance door lock was very difficult and needed to be lubricated after we called the property manager. The first night we ran out of hot water because the heater had been turned off. The property manager apologized. The kitchen was well stocked. The stairway to the sixth bedroom was treacherous. That bedroom did not have a bathroom at that level. Many of the mini blinds were broken and need to be replaced. Several of the interior doors were difficult to close. In spite of these needed repairs and updates we did enjoy our stay. We appreciated the big dining table for our family. The location is quiet and perfect for exploring the park.

Great place for a large group!

We had a great stay at this property! We had a group of 15 ranging from 6-79. The kitchen and outdoor spaces were great and the kids loved the air hockey table! The place was very clean and has plenty of parking. It would have been nice to have some curtains on the windows in the bedrooms at the front of the house. The sun came up very early and the blinds did very little to keep it dark in the bedrooms. But other than that we had no complaints!
