This property was perfect for us (in our 70s) and our daughter and family (2 year old son). This house is spacious, clean, updated enough to have the amenities you need, exceptionally well stocked. There were even puzzles and a t ball set that the 2 year old could enjoy. Communication with Veena was excellent. Highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor and the house worked perfectly for our families needs. The 4 bedrooms worked great for 4 couples. No one needed to sleep in a double or a twin room. Everyone said their beds were comfortable and that is super important. Walking distance to everything Bar Harbor has to offer and even the Grocery Store. Had two e-bikes and two regular bikes. The e-bikes got tons of use but the carriage trails are hilly so after the 1st day people didn’t use the regular bikes.Super easy to walk to the Village Green and take the Island explorer into the park!

This was my second stay at this beautiful and well stocked home. It is so convenient to so many shops & restaurants as well as Acadia National Park. We loved walking by the bay and took a couple of nature excursions. Highly recommend this property

The house is great. The location is on a quiet street and the house is an easy walk to anywhere in town.
The house was clean, and very well equipped -- especially in terms of kitchen and cooking needs.
We enjoyed our stay and recommend the house. Also, it has a very nice front orch for relaxing. We were eight people and the house was comfortable for us.
5.0 / 5.0
We were very pleased with most everything about the home and location. On-site parking at the back door was great. Short walk to grocery store, downtown area and waterfront / docks. Spacious living room and ample cooking pots, pans, and place settings. Quick drive to Acadia NP. Liquid hand soap is provided but no bath products, so bring your own. Could have used a few more towel rods or hooks in bathrooms, but we managed

My familly and I stayed in Bar Harbor Oct 14-28. The house was exactly as pictured and described. When we arrived the house was immaculate. Very clean and well appointed. Simple things matter: soft toilet paper, kleenex in every room, plush towels, comfortable beds and the whole place smelled so good.
The kitchen was our main gathering place and it was surprisingly well stocked. Our intent was to cook many meals in and nearly everything we needed was there. Spices, oils, plastic wrap, pancake mix, flour, brown sugar etc. There were plenty of dishes and pans to cook with. The coffee maker was especially handy as it was able to do a large pot of coffee or use individual pods. It was a Ninja brand.
The location of the house was absolutely perfect!. It was close to everything. We walked everywhere. We walked to little shops, to restaurants (our favorites were, Side Street Cafe, Thirsty Whale and Jordon's). The grocery store is only a block away and little ice cream shops and coffee shops are close too.
We drove to Acadia for our fabuous hikes and it was only 10 - 15 minutes away. So nice to come home in the evening and not have to worry about parking.
The water was nice and hot for showers after a long and tiring day of hiking. And it was so quiet in the evenings for a good night's sleep.
We loved everything about this house. It was the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed in. Book it quick because it will make your vacation to Acadia/Bar Harbor area the best ever!

The property is everything that is said in reviews and more. So much nicer than pictures and a perfect location. We were able to walk to get dinner every night. If we are ever back in Bar Harbor we will definitely be staying in this house.

Traveled with my husband & 2 adult children. The house was perfectly located within walking distance of restaurants, grocery & shopping. Was only a short drive to Acadia for many amazing hikes. Bike rentals were also walking distance & we were able to ride from the house to the Carriage Roads. The kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable with ample pillows & blankets. Also had plenty of towels. We had plenty of room to rest but then come together again for family time. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful, comfortable home with all the conveniences needed. We were happy to see a lobster pot so we could steam fresh lobster. The location is ideal; 2-3 blocks from the harbor, shopping, restaurants and grocery store. No need to move your car.
The Bar Harbor area is fantastic. We hiked in Acadia Park daily. Veena, the house host, is a friendly, attentive host. An area and house to revisit!

Location was perfect—5 minute walk into Bar Harbor & 10-15 minute drive into Acadia. The house was very spacious & clean and had everything we needed to live there for a week while we explored, hiked, & biked. The neighborhood is very quiet and there was plenty of parking. 5 STARS and would highly recommend!!

This property is close to everything, shops, restaurants, ocean, and hiking. What you can't walk to, you can take a trolley to. It was a fantastic vacation, one I would do again.
5.0 / 5.0
This property exceeded expectations- it is quite large and was very comfortable for our adult family group of 9. Parking is everything and the 4 spaces were perfect as the Island Explorer wasn’t yet running. It was a quick walk to town for pie, ice cream, shopping, and the brewery. We love Bar Harbor. Veema was instantly available when needed. I would suggest an upgrade to the coffee making situation as one older Mr. Coffee wasn’t enough for our group especially the early risers who wanted to hit the trails early.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful and clean home that was a short walk to everything in Bar Harbor. This was one of our favorite vacations and this home is ideal for everything you could want to do in the area. It is steps from the walk to Bar Island, the shore path and fabulous restaurants in Bar Harbor. We really enjoyed our stay!

Veena’s home is perfect for a group of couples or large family. Everyone can control their own thermostat in their bedroom, there is a toilet for each bedroom. Lots of dishes, spices, really anything you could need in the kitchen. Everything in downtown Bar Harbor is within walking distance which is so nice you don’t have to hunt for parking. Quick drive to Acadia. Would definitely return to this home and recommend to anyone.

We were all thrilled with this property. It was extremely clean and perfect for 4 college roommates. The location could not have been better- a very short walk to downtown Bar Harbor and a quick drive to Acadia! The house is on a quiet, pretty side street. Check in and out was seamless and communication with our host was great. We didn't want to leave!! Highly recommend this property!!

This property exceeded all of our expectations. Perfect configuration of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our party of 7 with room to spare. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of hot water, room to gather or find a quiet space. Plenty of utensils, pot, pans, dishes, towels, and pantry basics on hand. The front porch and back yard offered great outdoor seating options. The downtown location can’t be beat. We walked everywhere and had easy access to grocery store, shopping, restaurants, public shuttle, tours and waterfront walking. On site parking was especially convenient as parking in the downtown area is at a premium. Communication with the host was great - everything was spotless on arrival and we had absolutely no issues during our stay. You won’t find a better location or property anywhere near Bar Harbor. This property will be our first choice for our next trip to Bar Harbor !

This house was perfect for our family trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Ideal location - short walk to the restaurants, shops, and grocery store, yet still a quiet street. The inside was nicer than the pictures show on the site - very updated, clean, and spacious. We loved our time at the house and would definitely book it again!

Our group of six was very happy with the house. It was clean, comfortable and well-equipped, with ample parking and a great location. Within walking distance were downtown Bar Harbor shops and restaurants, the Village Green (hub for Island Explorer buses), grocery, and the bar to Bar Island. A great choice!

Great 3 family gathering.
Our 2 daughters along with their families were helping us celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms gave every family the needed space. There were 9 of us total. Loved the convenience of walking to everything we needed.

Exactly as represented.
Very spacious house, well maintained and on a quiet street just a couple of minute’s walk to a grocery store or into the heart of downtown. A well-stocked kitchen was an unexpected bonus. We all thought it was perfect!

Great base for Acadia National Park!
Great location! Close proximity to restaurants, grocery store, and shop, very convenient Place was clean and kitchen had plenty of gear needed for home cooked meal.
This place is in Bar Harbor, dining out will be pricey. Menus on the websites are not accurate, like a cup of new england chowder posted $7, but actual price was $10, lobster roll $35+, etc.
Veena was great to work with, good communication and very professional.
Highly recommend.
