About this apartment rental
Military veteran-owned. Please contact me if you are a disabled veteran.
I purchased this small condo in early 2022 as my winter home: I am making a film about Acadia and I use this space as my launching pad and winter respite. Upgrades: A modular tandem sea kayak, Two Aventon eBikes with custom seats, 7.1.2 new home theater with 77" Sony OLED TV, Le Creuset cookware, bakeware, and serve ware, refrigerator, dishwasher, high-end bedframe, luxury bed and bedding, new desk with dedicated HDR monitor and workstation, a ductless heater and air conditioner, double-reclining LazyBoy leather couch, full-size washer and dryer, and charcoal grill.
Please read reviews posted for my first two seasons. I treat my guests as if they were my own family. A portion of rental income goes to two charities I love: Friends of Acadia and PAATH, a Maine veterans organization. I have donated $1,000 to the same non-profits this year (2024) as well. Thank you for making this possible!
This one-bedroom efficiency condo is located at ground level for easy access and has the best location of any property on Mount Desert Island! You will be able to reach most eastern MDI hiking locations in Acadia National Park within 15 minutes from this downtown Bar Harbor location. When you return home after a day of hiking, you can park in your own off-street parking spot directly in front of your condo... and walk virtually anywhere in The village of Bar Harbor in 10 minutes! This is crucial because ANP has become one of the highest demand locations in the United States: Without dedicated parking it is near impossible to visit the village or dine at one of our many restaurants. Alternately you can bike to the park with the fully charged eBikes and skip the traffic congestion entirely!
The Village contains 99% of all restaurants, shops, bars and cafés on the entire island…and they are all within a 10 minute walk from the condo! This small two room efficiency home is appointed with a living room with exceptional natural light, a small dining table for two, and a kitchenette with full-size appliances to prepare your own food. I have the only wood-burning fireplace available in downtown Bar Harbor. I leave puhlenty of firewood on the property. Nothing beats a nice fire after a long day of hiking in Acadia during autumn, winter, and early spring!
The bedroom contains a magnificent king-size bed from Helix. The lovely solid wood frame comes from Tuft and Needle. All bedding, including down pillows and comforter are from Boll and Branch- the best available bedding and linen you can buy! I installed a new heat/AC unit in May 2023 so you can keep the window closed at night if you prefer.
It also includes a small desk with a 34-inch Apple XDR (HDR) Display, keyboard, and left and right-handed mice as well as an OWC Thunderbolt Pro charging and media station for XD, CFAST, and CF Express cards. I also provide a new B/W laser printer (paper and backup cartridges included) as well as a quality portable Epson document scanner. The internet connection is 350+mbps and is highly reliable. I leverage the best available modem/routers/WIFI from Nighthawk. I have a brand new Herman Miller Aeron chair with a nice glass floor mat.
The two new eBikes are very easy to ride and have superb hydraulic brakes too. I use them to access distant locations as well as largely inaccessible carriage roads built by the Duponts and Rockefellers in the 1920s. This is the only property in Bar Harbor to include eBikes and a sea kayak with the property rental! The bikes are engineered so that you can allow the bike to assist you while peddling as much or as little as you desire. I have high quality helmets available for your use. Safety first!
Enjoy your morning coffee on the sunny patio, fill your day with hiking, biking and sea kayaking, walk 10 minutes to a slew of exceptional restaurants, and return home to watch your favorite movies on my Apple TV(500+ movies to choose from including all 2024 Oscar nominees). The unit also includes a brand new (2024) full-size washer and dryer should you need it. Woolite and Downy are provided as are stain removers and dryer sheets.
No pets or smoking please.
This is a carbon-neutral property.
You can spend your time fighting traffic trying to reach the park and the village or you can rest easy at this quaint, quiet and perfectly located condo!
Bar Harbor Village requires a minimum 5 day/4 night stay.

Excellent!

Well equipped, good use of space, and we could walk everywhere downtown. Comfortable bed and bedding. We enjoyed all the comforts of Jay’s home because he lives there part of the year. We like a Vrbo with a house manual of instructions and Jay’s was detailed, even including pictures. My husband admired the e-bikes tho we didn’t get to use them.
8.0
Walking distance to grocery, restaurants, harbor, shuttle, and shops - really great location. Nice bed and linens, cute patio. We only had a minor issue with the TV but it was quickly resolved. We loved the reclining sofa. Jay provided detailed instructions well in advance so there were no surprises.

Well equipped two room condo. Comfortable, but small. Great location. E-Bikes were a plus. Cost on the high end for the size.

We loved our little vacation in this condo. It is small, but perfect for 2 people. The location was great -- easy walk to shops & restaurants. We were able to ride the e-bikes to Acadia National Park from the condo avoiding alot of the car traffic getting into the park. Jay was a fantastic host providing excellent instructions on everything we needed to make this trip perfect. I would absolutely recommend this condo!

Come stay in the middle of Bar Harbor! You will be right around the corner from the East Coast’s first National Park- Acadia. Enjoy mountains and the ocean in the same park. Fall in love with Acadia and promise to return.
10.0
It has an arresting number of amenities: Great air conditioning, delicious Nespresso with a plethora of choices, nice soap, huge TV, stocked kitchenware, etc, etc, and even electric bicycles (which we didn’t use as we brought our own bikes.) However best of all was the host who answered every question with alacrity and provided a comprehensive loose leaf filled with directions for all the electronics in the apartment and recommendations of local shops and restaurants.

Our four night stay in Bar Harbor was the first time actually staying in the town. Our accommodations were exactly what we wanted. It was very clean, updated and very convenient for really getting to enjoy the town and Acadia National Park.

10.0
My husband and I desperately needed some time out of the city, and were so lucky to stumble on this absolute gem!! Checking in was a breeze, and all of Jay's instructions really took the guess work out of anything.
Not only was the condo in an excellent location for shopping and dining, and so close to many entrances to the Acadia, but the amenities that Jay offers, like the electric bikes, were a total blast!
From grilling on the patio, and cozying up by the fireplace to wind down, cooking in the kitchen, we had everything we needed to feel right at home and enjoy our stay. Everything was so clean and organized, and not to mention the high end linens and towels!! We were obsessed!!
We can't wait to stay here again in the future!
Thanks again Jay!

We really enjoyed staying in this condo while visiting Acadia. It is conveniently located within walking distance of everything in Bar Harbor. This small condo features upgraded furnishings that made it pleasant to return to after a day of hiking and sightseeing. The king bed was most comfortable and the condo was clean and well organized for the small space. We also appreciated having a dedicated parking space. The owner responded quickly to questions. We felt right at home and would stay again!

The apartment was cozy and had everything we needed. It was a great location too and we could walk anywhere downtown.

The location couldn't be better. We parked the car and walked everywhere in town during our week-long stay. The condo was very clean, and the furnishings are comfortable. The owner really makes the most of a small space. My husband and I also appreciated the brochures for things to do in Bar Harbor and the hiking maps for Acadia National Park.
10.0
The condo is called Eden One. It was just what we needed, and the washer and dryer were very appreciated. The owner gave excellent information about the condo and left a very detailed notebook with everything we needed to know. He went to a lot of trouble with furnishings to ensure his guests had a pleasant experience, and we did!
10.0
Jay’s place is a small, cozy ground level condo on a quiet one-way street in Bar Harbor that is easily walkable to all the town has to offer and just a quick car trip to explore Acadia and other places of interest on Mount Desert Island. We loved the location and really appreciated the comfortable bed and high quality sheets and towels! It was too warm to use the wood burning fireplace while we were there, but it’s great that it is there! We also liked that we could open the windows when it cooled down at night and use the AC when needed! Jay and Nicole were both very easy to communicate with and very responsive! Jay was so kind to give me a gift for my 40th birthday (the reason for our trip) AND he donates the profits he makes from renting the condo to some wonderful charities!!! We loved staying here!! Thank you Jay!!

Perfect for the week we spent in Bar Harbor. The location is excellent - a short 5 minute walk to downtown and no need to fight for the limited parking in Bar Harbor.

Perfect for 2 people.
Great, convenient location, off the beaten path, avoids congestion of downtown yet very walkable. Convenient to shops, restaurants, grocery store, etc.
Owner (Jay) very accessible, prompt with any inquiries, issues, etc.
Well appointed furnishings, top-of-the-line appliances, fully equipped kitchen.
Perfect spot to stay for your visit to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

With real estate it's location, location, location, and for our purposes the location was perfect. All of downtown Bar Harbor was easily accessible on foot.
We went to dinner and/or out for drinks every night for 2 weeks, and hit different spots every night.

Perfect for two! We hiked in Acadia during the day. Cleaned up and walked to dinner and nightly strolls in Bar Harbor. Jay had all the info need for the unit. Nicloe was an excellent host! Thanks for sharing your home Jay! We would be happy to stay again!

The property is small but perfect for just my wife and I. The location is amazing as it is within a short walk of all things Bar Harbor and a short drive to Acadia. The owner was very helpful with providing us all the information we needed to have a great stay. Would definitely recommend this spot for your Bar Harbor/Acadia adventures.
10.0
Small condo as described, but perfect for our needs. The host, Jay and his assistant, Nicole were super friendly & attentive with information regarding the condo & surrounding area. The location to ANP is fantastic and we were in walking distance to all the town of Bar Harbor has to offer. We enjoyed cozy nights by the fire, which was a nice bonus, plus we could enjoy an early breakfast “at home” before venturing out to explore the beauty of Acadia. I highly recommend staying here!

This property is very close to everything downtown and was a great place to stay – the owner is awesome
10.0
This place was excellent as a home base to explore ANP and experience all that Bar Harbor has to offer. The full kitchen was perfect to keep groceries and prepare lunch for hiking days and a grocery store is a 5 minute walk away. It's on the small side, so best for a single person or couple, but it never felt cramped. The owner was available but unobtrusive. Overall a terrific experience that I'd be happy to repeat!
