Comfortable beds, everything clean, worked, cozy house. Lots of books in their library and lots of information and pamphlets about the area. Kitchen had spices and plenty of pots and pans. Could have used an additional sauce pan as there was only one small one. We enjoyed our stay here. Good location for getting into the park.

The location of this house was the best feature. We walked everywhere: all of our dinners, coffee in the morning and to the wharf for our boat ride. It was so convenient to town. The house, itself, was older but well maintained. We would stay there again.

Shaun’s property is excellent if you want easy access to the park and downtown Bar Harbor. You can’t beat the location, and Shaun was a welcoming host with great recommendations. The house itself was comfy for our needs. I would also add that it’s a great deal for what you get. Would definitely come again.

Excellent location and easy access to Bar Harbor, Acadia Park, etc. Well-outfitted and a very hospitable host and guide to the area. We were taken care of very well, and would easily come back to this property in the future for visits to the area!

House is a great location for both exploring the town and the national park. An easy walk to the Village Green to catch Island explorer buses, an easy walk to the Shore Path, and an easy walk to the Compass Harbor Trail (a hidden gem much less crowded than other sites at Acadia). Amenities in the house were great, and there were many thoughtful touches in the decor. It was a really restful place to stay. Backyard was fantastic for star watching on clear nights. Host was great with communication and very patient.

We loved the location of this house- so accessible to Acadia entrances, walkable to town, and just steps from the wonderful playground, farmers market, ballfields, and YMCA. Kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of storage and counter space. The fenced backyard, sitting area, and fire pit were lovely. We were able to see the Perseid meteor shower right from the backyard with very little light pollution. The host was helpful when we needed him and very friendly and helpful in sharing information about the town and park. This was a great base for our trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Please provide more information about parking. We parked accidently in the neighbors parking lot. They politely corrected us.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Sept, 2026
Hi Bernadette. I am sorry that you were confused by my parking instructions. They were included as part of the check in information that VRBO says was sent to you on Aug. 26 at 3 p.m., three days before your arrival. Those instructions read as follows and I am not sure how to make them any more clear. "Parking Directions: Our driveway is on the right side of the house as you face it. It is shared with our neighbor so please park on the left side of the driveway and if you have multiple vehicles, please park single file. Our neighbor to the right does not live in the house but does need to be able to access his driveway and park there, which he occasionally does. The garage is ours and you may pull as close to it as you wish/need but only in front of the left hand garage door. Thank you very much!" If you have any ideas, please pass them on to me and thank you very much for staying with us!

Fantastic centralized location. The home epitomizes the Bar Harbor experience. New England charm. Minutes away from hikes and adventure, and even closer to restaurants and shops. Couldn’t ask for a better family vacation. Lobster Boat tour, Cadillac Mountain sunrise, Beehive, Six Peaks, Acadia and St. Sauveur Peaks. Regardless of the daily event we loved being able to come back to the home. My family and I throughly enjoyed our time.

This is a very comfortable house with room to spread out. Within a 10 minute walk to town & Acadia shuttle stops, restaurants, and less than 10 minute drive to access the many entrances of Acadia. Highly recommend Schooner Head Overlook for stargazing. If you have a piano player, you’ll love it. Shawn had tons of Acadia books and well lots of other books! We used the bedrooms that had A/C. The kitchen had everything we needed. It’s really a very charming neighborhood with a sports park behind. Close to the YMCA if you want a gym. It was really nice to have 2 full baths and a washer/dryer. This house was a great home base. Come to Acadia with a plan

We had an excellent family trip. The house is in a perfect location- walkable to all the Bar Harbor shops and restaurants and only a couple minutes from Acadia. The house comfortably slept 6 adults. Very clean and convenient layout. Enjoyed coffee on the porch and the smell of lilacs every morning. Host was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was so charming and so close to downtown Bar Habor! It was exactly what we needed - we spent days out and about, and spent evenings at the house relaxing. Note: there are two full bathrooms but one is on the first floor (all bedrooms are on the second floor). It wasn’t any big deal; just be aware. They have lots of reading material and games, and the outdoor seating area is great after long days sightseeing. We mostly ate out but the kitchen is well equipped with all the basics (including wine openers ). Visiting right before Memorial Day was ideal because it wasn’t too busy yet. Loved our visit and this home away from home!
