About this property

The Old Charm of Cozy Victorian in downtown

Newly renovated Victorian style apt (on 2nd floor) with a lot of charms and a hideaway deck. Right in downtown, walkable to everywhere, 5 min to island explorer/bus stop, Village green, library, museum, historical churches, kids playground, many restaurants, and more. You’ll love it because of the quiet you rarely find in the busy town and the convenience of the location, which allows you to easily catch a free shuttle bus to anywhere in the park without the hassle of driving and parking.

- A plus for this one-bedroom apt is that it has a separate living room space with a door (can be used as a second bedroom), which allows visitors to have their privacy. The sofa bed is a full size (recommended for no more than 140 pounds for your own comfort )
- Outdoor space with table and chairs
- The apartment located on the 2nd floor
- Off-street parking
- Laundry room is on the first floor which is a corner room next to the stairway.
*** ATTENTION to off-season guests (Nov to April)
Laundry: No laundry. The laundry room(corner room) is shut down from Nov to April as it’s not insulated. Laundry Matt is within 3 min walking distance.

Heating: Oil heating heats the whole building with one thermostat on the first floor with a locked screen due to problems in the past. It's very easy to send a request if an adjustment to the temperature is needed. Your comfort is our highest priority. Thank you for your understanding!

Great vacation!
We enjoyed staying here very much. Location was great. Apartment was clean and well furnished. Ruddy responded quickly to our inquiry about what to do over a matter. We were able to easily walk downtown and enjoy the shops, parks, bakeries, and wonderful views! Easy access to Acadia National Park.

Good Location
The property is in a good location and very walkable to the downtown area. The layout of the rooms is very workable with a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bath. The owner Ruddy is very responsive to any questions or concerns.

Property Pictures are Outdated!
Rented the second floor apartment because of the deck. Not only does it not have any view (except a rundown neighborhood), there is no longer a tree or vine near the deck to provide privacy. Recycling was kept on the deck and the furniture was too dirty to sit on. The kitchen is so small that the refrigerator could not be opened without moving a chair. and it was lacking in basic pots and pans, I had to purchase a baking sheet to cook. Also, a note said we shouldn't use two of the burners on the stove because it would damage cabinets. I have never written a negative review but the description of this place was misleading. I am glad that we were able to spend most of our time hiking in Acadia National Park!
