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!

Fantastic Stay in Bar Harbor

The house is great. The location is on a quiet street and the house is an easy walk to anywhere in town. The house was clean, and very well equipped -- especially in terms of kitchen and cooking needs. We enjoyed our stay and recommend the house. Also, it has a very nice front orch for relaxing. We were eight people and the house was comfortable for us.

Family gathering

This property was perfect for us (in our 70s) and our daughter and family (2 year old son). This house is spacious, clean, updated enough to have the amenities you need, exceptionally well stocked. There were even puzzles and a t ball set that the 2 year old could enjoy. Communication with Veena was excellent. Highly recommend this property.

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!

Location, location, location!

This house is exactly as shown and described. Very clean and well maintained. Very stocked kitchen if you want to cook at home. Many bedrooms and bathrooms for privacy with adult groups. We had five adults so this was perfect. The location is incredible. So close to town, you can walk to restaurants, bakeries, even the grocery store in just a few minutes. Very close to the Bar Island walk as well. Yet even though you are so close to town, you are just far enough away to be on a quiet street. Lots of onsite parking as well. Acadia Park is also close. I highly recommend this property. Communications with property manager was quick and easy as well.

Wonderful!!

Location was perfect—5 minute walk into Bar Harbor & 10-15 minute drive into Acadia. The house was very spacious & clean and had everything we needed to live there for a week while we explored, hiked, & biked. The neighborhood is very quiet and there was plenty of parking. 5 STARS and would highly recommend!!
