We had a wonderful stay earlier this month at this home in Bar Harbor. It is, indeed, right in the heart of Bar Harbor, but tucked behind another row of buildings so it’s still very quiet. We LOVED being so close to the town! We walked to dinner every night, and walked to the grocery store for a thing or two most days as well. Most of the restaurants are a 2-5 minute walk in one direction…the grocery store a two minute walk in the other direction. So convenient! The host provided helpful information booklets with park information house information and restaurant recommendations and we used it extensively. The house was comfortable and had all we needed without any issues. The master bedroom is right off the kitchen and the other two bedrooms are upstairs, which may be relevant if you’re bringing little kids. We found the King sized bed to be very firm, and the queen sized bed upstairs to be much softer. We’re soft bed people, so we moved up. We appreciated the nice heat/AC units in all the bedrooms and den. They worked very effectively! The kitchen was fine - I didn’t cook much, but it seemed to have what we needed. I always appreciate when VRBOs have ziplock bags, foil, sugar, a small selection of tea and maybe enough coffee for one morning, but this place didn’t have those little touches, so bring what you need or plan to buy it. Laundry detergent was available. All in all, we were so glad to have stayed there and would recommend!
