About this house rental

Bar Harbor is a magical place and 'Sunset' is the perfect home from which to enjoy all it has to offer. Walk into town to shop or eat, bike into Acadia National Park, kayak off the sand bar, board a boat to fish or whale watch or simply relax and enjoy the view from the back porch. You will find that everything is easily accessible from this spectacular home built in 1910 and listed on the National Historic Registry.

Sunset features 2 king bedrooms, 1 queen bedrooms, 3 full bedrooms and 2 bedrooms with 2 twins. It has 7 full bathrooms. We have 2 futons in the TV room on the 2nd floor and a twin bed in the TV room on the 3rd floor. We do limit adults to 16 but will allow up to 18 if small children are included.

For those not able to handle stairs, we have a sitting room with a full sized bed on the first floor along with a full bathroom not included in the count above.

Enjoy sunset on the glassed in back porch or on the patio, both overlooking the beautiful garden and Frenchman's Bay.

Overall we had a great stay at the property. Space to spread out with a large group and location can’t be beat. The house is steps from the shopping, food and drinks. Behind the house is the sandbar that leads to bar island. Had a couple of minor issues however , there was some significant staining on at least one of the couches as well as a not very clean floor throughout the house. Earlier reviews calling it old house clean is a perfect way to phrase it. Communication was ok but we had asked one question that was left unanswered by host.

Our extended family stayed at this property for a wonderful Bar Harbor vacation. A welcome feature that is not in the Vrbo website description is the number of appliances that accommodates larger groups. Two big refrigerators and a dorm size fridge where we kept drinks for the kids, two microwaves and three washers and dryers so that we could keep up with laundering clothes. In fact, if I had known there were three washer/dryer units I wouldn't have packed so much! It is located right next to a sand bar where we could observe the tide covering and then uncovering the gravel/sand walkway to an island. This house is walking distance to to many restaurants and boat tours. Acadia is a short drive.

Stayed with a mixed group of family. It is impossible to beat the location and number of beds/ bathrooms. It was what I would call old clean ( to be expected with a house on the historic register, but bothered a couple of people in our group). Bedding and rooms were clean but some things seemed to lack a bit of maintenance(windows, landscaping, outdoor areas could use a bit of clean up/improvement. exposed plywood floors on the third floor, covert with rugs and carpet runners) Overall an excellent place that many in my group including myself loved. Lots of cool old features to explore in the house. If you are a neat freak and looking for a modern experience probably not the place for you. If you don’t mind clean old historic properties with unbeatable location this is the place for you.

Our family enjoyed this property and it's proximity to town as well as the land bridge. It was wonderful to be able to walk to shops and restaurants. The house is spacious with ample room for large groups, as ours was.

Best location in town. Quick walk to downtown, grocery store, and ice cream shops. There were three generations of a family - twelve in total...but no one felt crowded because there is so much room. Everyone loved the "old world charm" of the house.

Our 15 consisted of 2 grandparents, 6 parents and 7 children ages 6-17. Everyone had great sleeping quarters and room to be all together. The back porch looking over the land bridge to Bar Island was our favorite. Location was perfect for our activities of eating, shopping and hiking Acadia! We were especially impressed with the Owner's quick and positive response to our one request. Thank you so much for opening your home to our family. The wonderful memories of this place will last us a long time!
