Nestled on the eastern shore of Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor is a picturesque coastal town renowned for its stunning natural beauty, charming downtown, and vibrant maritime culture. As the gateway to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor attracts outdoor enthusiasts eager to explore scenic trails, rugged cliffs, and breathtaking ocean views. Cadillac Mountain, the highest peak on the U.S. East Coast, offers a spectacular sunrise that draws visitors year-round.

The town itself boasts a lively atmosphere, with quaint shops, art galleries, and top-notch seafood restaurants lining its historic streets. Visitors can enjoy freshly caught lobster, take a stroll along the scenic Shore Path, or embark on a whale-watching cruise from Frenchman Bay. Bar Harbor is also home to a rich history, once serving as a summer retreat for America’s elite, including the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts.

Parking is available for free on the street. The `Island Explorer` Bus that travels the island can be accessed with a short 2min walk. Walking to downtown is very easy with the location of the unit.

Perfect host, location and apartment for a trip to Bar Harbor and exploring Arcadia. Way better than a simple hotel room or old cottage at comparable price. Walk to town with ease and minutes to enter the National Park. One down side is really poor cell phone coverage in this area but hardly the property owners fault. Another concern is abysmal internet service than worked 10 seconds at a time. Made is impossible to research the area and activities. Hopefully they can upgrade Wi-Fi service.

This super clean one bedroom has all the conveniences of travel (sheets, towels, toiletries, etc) and a nicely stocked small kitchen. It's location is perfect to walk to downtown Bar Harbor and just a short drive to excellent hiking in Acadia National Park. I would happily return for future hiking trips to the area.

Overall, the property was clean, comfortable, and adequate for what we needed, and we had a wonderful trip to Bar Harbor. The inside was spotless and had been very nicely remodeled.The location was still within easy walking distance of town, and we ended up really enjoying it. However, it was on the outer edge of the approximate location circle shown on VRBO—the side farthest from the town center—so it was not quite as close as we expected.The exterior of the building could also use a facelift, and I don’t feel the listing photos gave a very clear picture of its condition. Inside, the floor was noticeably unlevel, which made us a little uneasy since the unit was on the second floor.Had the rental been considerably less expensive, we would have been very happy with it. At the price we paid, however, we didn’t feel the overall property and condition represented a good value. That said, it was clean, functional, and served our needs, and we had a great trip. The property also had several fun Happy Days references throughout, which gave it a cute, nostalgic personality.

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.
