About this property

Renovated downtown Bar Harbor apartment, park and walk to shops and restaurants.

Enjoy your vacation in the center of the action in our second floor 2 bedroom apartment in downtown Bar Harbor. Renovated in August of 2021 this charming apartment has 2 good sized bedrooms, a queen bed in one, and a king in the other. A family room with seating for 6 and Kitchen/Dining area with fridge, dishwasher, range and microwave. The bathroom has a new glass door shower and a large washer/dryer. All the floors have been recently redone, the hall, kitchen and living room have refinished wood floors, the bathroom and bedrooms have wood look vinyl floors.

The apartment entrance is in the back of a storefront location and across from 4 townhouses. So even though you are in the center of town it has a residential feel. Walk out on to Cottage Street and get fresh baked goods next store or dine in one of the popular restaurants across the street. You can take a short walk up Cottage Street and have breakfast at the famous Jordan's Restaurant, known for their Blueberry pancakes!

Head down Cottage Street to visit the many shops and a little further down to reach Agamont Park and the town pier. Go up one of the side streets and reach more stores and restaurants including one of our favorites, Cafe This Way, off of Mt Desert Street. Heading down Mt Desert is the Village Green in the center of town where the summer concerts are performed. The Island Explorer free bus service (runs in season) leaves from the Village Green and takes you into Acadia National Park.

This was a great home base for us! It's the perfect spot in town- close to everything, and Veena was wonderful to communicate with. There were five of us- my husband and I, and our 18, 14, and 11 year old girls. The beds were very comfortable and the pullout sofa was good for one girl to sleep on. We would definitely stay here again!

Trup tp Acadia!

We had a wonderful time and this apartment was perfect for our stay. It was amazingly close to Bar Harbor - walking to all the restaurants and stores and the Bar Island Trail, and close to jump into the park. Our hostess was very responsive and helpful. Not at all relared to this apartment or our stay but if you're trying to beat the crowds and go off season,,check when the park roads open! We got lucky but didnt realize that access to the park is very limited frkm October through April. Most of the visitors cebters abd carraige trails dont open until Mid May!

Central and Quiet

Very clean and bright, perfect location to walk anywhere downtown. We hiked every day and were happy to relax here most nights- beds were very comfortable and water pressure was great too. Everything you need to cook is there, and Hannaford’s is close so shopping is easy.

Great location & very clean

Great location; very clean; comfortable bed; had everything we needed including kitchen/household supplies. Perfect for our needs, as we explored the beautiful Acadia National Park and walking through downtown Bar Harbor every day of the week. If was a great place to relax at the end of our eventful days. It was also quiet at night, despite being just minutes’ walking distance from all the Bar Harbor activity.

Great Spot in Downtown

The place was awesome. It's close/walkable to all of Bar Harbor. Not having to mess with parking was so nice. The condo was perfect for our family of four. I can't think of anything to critique. The home was clean and comfortable. We would totally come back.

Fantastic Apartment!

We have vacationed in Bar Harbor many times over the past 25 years or so, and we've rented many different properties. This was the first time we visited as empty-nesters and this apartment is our new favorite -- it was absolutely perfect for us. The apartment was spotless, well-stocked, and so convenient to everything in town and on Mount Desert Island. We will come back!

Great little place in the perfect location!

I stumbled upon this gem while browsing for places to stay for a quick get away over Easter weekend. I'm so glad I found it! It was the perfect spot for my husband and I to enjoy our 20th anniversary. It is SUPER clean and has the most adorable decor (I LOVE the chairs in the living room!) The host is extremely responsive and has everything supplied for you to make the most of your vacation. The location is superior. We are repeat visitors and this is the best location we've stayed at yet. So close to all the great shops and restaurants, and the grocery store is across the street. We will definitely be back for our next trip :)

Great location and comfortable space!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The apartment was wonderful and the location was PERFECT right in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor! It is super convenient for walking to restaurants, shops, and the harbor! It is super convenient for exploring Acadia National Park and a really cozy and clean place to come home to after a day of hiking. It comes with two free parking spots so you don’t have to search for or pay for parking to explore the town! It is great for families to spread out with two bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, and kitchen. It had everything we could have needed during our stay. We will stay here again the next time we come!

Better than expected!

I'd say the photos undersell the place. High ceilings make the room pictures look bare but instead it feels spacious. Good room layout and everything was clean. Location is perfect - walk to everything in town, even with small kids. Quiet even though you're in the middle of everything. Parking included so you don't fight that every day, because street parking fills up fast in the summer.

Winter in Maine

We chose this property because of proximity to town and wanting good roads without snow. Very- very little open in town and we were disappointed about that. Old house but very well updated. We had family come join us on the weekend and second bedroom was nice. Our only problem was not enough hot water for showers.

Location, location, location!

Great week long stay for our family of four. Location of the unit is amazing. Quick walk to anything & quick drive to Acadia! Parking a huge plus when coming back from a day of hiking. Unit is very well equipped. We have two teenage boys who refused to share a bed so the pullout couch came in very handy. Layout of the unit is a little odd (no bad, just odd) - the living room was obviously a bedroom at some point because it has a door that closes/locks. My only tiny feedback would be that a photo that somehow shows the layout would be a nice addition to the listing.

Lovely stay in Bar Harbor

We had a great stay in early April here. Great location with an easy walk to town. Enough space for our family of four although we spent most of our days out and about. Highly recommend A Slice of Eden right next door for breakfast (get the sausage and biscuit if available, or a delicious breakfast sammie, or the lox, caper, and red onion cream cheese on a bagel). Atlantic Brewing Company is a stone's throw and a great place to hang (the 11 year old loved the ping pong table). Highly recommend the off season and the relaxed pace around town. While there were limited options by way of restaurants, it was great to be in Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor without the typical summer crowd. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Location & comfort

This was out first trip to Bar Harbor and we didn't realize how amazing this location was when we booked. You walk out the door and you're at restaurants, stores and ice cream shops in minutes! The entrance to Acadia is SO close. It's easy to go hiking then return home for lunch or a snack and get back in the park in the afternoon. The condo is spacious and comfortable. The rooms have a lot of separation which is nice if you have a night owl or early riser. We were very happy with this condo and would definitely stay here again.
