This VRBO was true to its description—cozy, but with integrity and comfort for two people. It had ample space, all the essentials, and was in an excellent location close to town. I would definitely stay here again.
Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to all the shops and restaurants and a short drive to hikes in the park. Had everything we needed to be comfortable.
Inspiration Point is a sweet spot… walking distance to the happening streets of Bar Harbor yet nestled in a residential neighborhood! We thoroughly enjoyed our time there!
This spot is the perfect location! Walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor. The place was super clean and comfortable for two people. Parking was right outside the door. Would definitely stay here again!
Loved the location, the cleanliness, the decor, and the amenities here. Everything was just enough for a perfect stay. My wife wants to downsize now to something very similar :) Will definitely be back.
Great place to stay. Just far enough out of town center that you don’t get the business but a quick 10 min walk to the village green. Everything we needed was there and the place was clean and neat. Would definitely stay here again.
This was a great place to stay. Clean and functional, perfect for two to stay. Walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor was great, as we walked to restaurants and shops. Close to much of Acadia as well. The full kitchen allowed us to prep meals for hiking. Overall a nice, quiet place.
This being a first time in Bar Harbor for both my mother and I staying at this Vrbo was a great choice. Within walking distance to the harbor and very clean and so well decorated. Access was also very easy. We had just about every thing we needed.. better than a hotel :)
This the perfect location and perfect size for a couple. Easy walk into downtown bar harbor and all that it offers. Short bike ride to Arcadia National park. All in All, a great trip.
Just what we needed for the two of us and nothing more. The only problem was that our complaint of a trilling alarm which was inside of a locked cabinet was not acted upon for 2 days. We finally called the emergency number and were given the combination for the lock.
Quiet, real close to downtown, converted garage into two suites/apts … all the basic necessities needed for a visit to Bar Harbor and Acadia, safe town
This is our second stay at this property in less than a year and it was truly like coming home. Once again, this charming apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable and memorable stay in Bar Harbor, close to Acadia, and walking distance from everything Bar Harbor has to offer. No doubt we will plan to stay here again and again!

The property is just what you would in a VRBO.
Perfect for 2 people and walking to Bar Harbor, short drive to Acadia National Park.
It was clean and all the amenities you need.
I would recommend this unit.
We had a great stay. The property is just right I size and is in a nice quiet neighborhood. We walked to restaurants, the local Hannaford grocery store and sites. The tip to stop in Ellsworth for provisions on the way to Mt Desert Island was a good tip provided by the property manager.
The apartment could have used measuring cups, mixing bowls and it would have been nice to know there is no oven. Having coffee provided was nice. We would stay here again!
This is a very sweet apartment that is clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, private and with all needed amenities for 2 people. The location is perfect for walking around town and close to so many trails and carriage paths of Acadia. The property owner was prompt with replies to any questions/concerns we had. We definitely give this property a strong 2 thumbs up!
The unit was clean and provided all we need. Great shower, which isn't something usual for my VRBO experience. Absolutely no complaints, but the best part of all is how close it is to everything! A short drive to Acadia for awesome hiking and perfect walking distance to everything Bar Harbor has to offer. I did have a question during our stay, which I messaged through the VRBO app and received a response very quickly. Great place!!
This is a cozy quaint apartment in a quiet neighborhood, an ideal stay for two at a very convenient location for travelers visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The apartment is very tastefully decorated in a retro style and has all the basic utilities and nice balcony/patio for relaxation. Cleanliness is A. A quick walking distance from downtown bar harbor, restaurants, grocery and also super short drive from Acadia National Park. Much recommended stay!
We looked at a million places before booking Inspiration Point. Initially we wanted to book something somewhere in more of a woodsy area a little hesitant to book in a residential area. We were very happy with our choice. The location could not have been more perfect. We walked everywhere in town and did not need to deal with the hassle of parking. Acadia National Park sites are a few minutes away. We could easily go somewhere in the morning and come back and walk somewhere else in the afternoon without constantly having to plan how we were going to get places.
The apartment was spotless and had everything that we needed. The area was very quiet, I sometimes wondered if the neighbors were even home.
The check in and check out process was very easy as well as communication with the host. We would highly recommend staying here. We had a great time!
