Location
Bar Harbor is a real treat.

Bar Harbor is known as the gateway to Acadia National Park, one of America’s favorite parks, and is situated on Mount Desert Island right on the gorgeous Frenchman’s Bay. Here you will find Cadillac Mountain*, the highest point on the eastern seaboard, where you can often see the country’s first sunrise.

The town has long been a popular summer vacation destination – ever since the 19th century when powerful American families built their summer “cottages. Today the town is just as vibrant as ever; Main Street is lined with shops, boutiques and dining of all sorts. With Acadia next door and the working waterfront encircling it, Bar Harbor captures something quintessentially Maine.

Coastal Maine Vacations requires a Safety background check and a rental contract to be signed at the time of booking. If you would like to see a copy in advance please contact us.

The property is spacious and in a great location. Close enough to walk into town and tennis courts. The property management was extremely helpful and friendly. They repaired clogged sinks and replaced non functioning grill during our stay. Cleanliness of property was lacking but management did try to address this issue also.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This lovely home home suited our 3 generation family of 11 perfectly. From the amazing kitchen for preparing family dinners, seating for 12+ to the game room downstairs for the grandchildren. Access to Acadia and Bar Harbor was great. The staff at CMV was super. They responded to all questions within minutes! I would stay again!

Nice layout for extended family. Remote but convenient. Probably not a biking into town location for most people due to the return hill.

The place was nicely maintained , the layout was nice. The only feature I did not care for was the type of cooling system. A few of the bedrooms got hot

Finding a home for a family reunion is no easy task, however this house accommodated us all. The house was clean, secluded, and within a moderate walking distance of main streets in Bar Harbor. Everyone in my family was satisfied with the stay.

The house was perfect for our group of 16 ages 12 to 54. We were easily able to host an 80th birthday celebration for my mom. Plenty of seating for 20 people. The house and sleep arrangements were pretty ideal compared to other stays at other locations. My only suggestion is extra towel sets!

We wish we would have had more time to enjoy the house. It was big and spacious for our group of 10. Close to town and Acadia. We hope we can come back again.
