About this property

Spacious Sunny Loft ~ Downtown Bar Harbor!

This spacious apartment is located on a quiet side street in the heart of Bar Harbor. The house is close to the Bar Island land bridge path, the Shore Path, harborfront, Village Green, restaurants, shops, bakeries, grocery store, natural foods store, cinema, museum, banks, post office, drug store, and other village amenities. Bar Harbor is a walkable destination, with connector trails to Acadia National Park, and a free Island Explorer bus service located nearby at the Village Green.

Renters must be able to navigate stairs as this rental unit is on the 2nd floor. For reference, we also have two separate rental units on the first floor of this 3-family turn-of-the-century home. For more information check out VRBO: Heart of Bar Harbor (HA 4998428) & Bar Harbor Hideaway (HA 7857609).

The spacious, private 2nd-floor apartment has its own entry from the front porch, with 16 steps leading to the 2nd-floor spacious unit with 2 bedrooms with queen-size beds, 2 full bathrooms (one with claw foot tub and a separate shower, and the other with combo tub/shower), a fully appointed kitchen/dining room with cathedral ceiling - with herbs, spices, coffee, tea, and all the miscellaneous kitchen tools and appliances just like home. The dining area has a table with seating for four, as well as a separate bench.
The kitchen leads to a large living room with a cathedral ceiling, a large sectional sofa, a reading nook with two chairs, lots of windows, and a wall-mounted Smart Roku TV, where guests may log into their own streaming services or cable accounts. The deck off of the living room has a gas grill, overlooks a small private yard with greenery with stairs leading down to the yard with outdoor seating, and is a wonderful spot to sip your morning coffee or enjoy a glass of wine in the warmth of the late afternoon sun.

Great VRBO. Accommodations were outstanding and Doug/Kim were the perfect hosts. There were nice extras in the VRBO such as the outdoor patio, and umbrellas in the entryway with places to hang your coats. The beds were comfortable and plenty of room to relax. The location was convenient to downtown Bar Harbor, Bar Island access and to all areas of the park. Highly recommended.

Best VRBO experience in decades- and I’ve been doing this a long time. So clean, so spacious, excellent location, and they thought of everything. The kitchen was amazing. So impressed. Loved everything about this place. We’ll be back. I’d give it a 10 stars if I could.

The space is much better than the pictures! Convenient location to all shops, restaurants and the harbor. I have been coming to Bar Harbor on and off for 15 years and staying here made it one the best vacations I have ever experienced. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, silverware and utensils. Doug, the host, was always available and very friendly. I will be back!

The Sunny Loft in Downtown Bar Harbor was perfect for my adult daughter and me (mom). I rarely say this, but the place was VERY CLEAN, which is important to us. The kitchen was very well stocked including foil, plastic wrap, baggies, spices, cooking oil and coffee! We used the grill and stove a couple times, no issues whatsoever. And bonus...there were a couple yoga mats that we put to good use. Location was fabulous, just about 1 block from the land bridge to Bar Island and about 100 yards to the grocery store! Easy driving access to Acadia trails and we walked to restaurants and shoppping. The place was quiet even being so conveniently located. We would definitely stay here again.

Two couples stayed an entire week. When we entered the upstairs apartment we were blown away by its spaciousness and decor. The beds were comfortable and the additional blanket in each closet was a nice touch. Parking was great right in front of the porch. The location was very convenient to all things in and around Bar Harbor. We walked to Frenchman’s Bay the 1st night-it was a lovely sight. Each day was filled with exploration and positive experiences. We spent time in Acadia Park and on Cadillac Mountain, dined at the amazing Jordan Pond Restaurant, went whale watching, and enjoyed every harbor. We even spent a day in Bangor Maine. Our host (Doug) was very responsive and the Acadia Loft guest book had solid instructions for our stay.
