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 rental contract to be signed at the time of booking. If you would like to see a copy in advance please contact us.

Family reunion
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.

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

Family Reunion
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.

Great space for a family reunion
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!

Friends getaway
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.

Great location
Our family - 13 total - spent Labor Day weekend in Bar Harbor and this was a great place for us. Very spacious! It was close to town (approx a mile) but not within walking distance for our family of small children. The children enjoyed the woods, the game room downstairs, and being in Acadia. The house doesn’t have central air but they provided a floor unit air conditioner in each room which meant the rooms often were either hot or cold. I would recommend and stay here again if our family is ever back in Bar Harbor.

Lovely home
We enjoyed the spacious rooms. Everyone had a place to go for some down time. There were games, toys, and lots of fun things for the kids of all ages to do. The yard was nice. Everything was very clean. The host was extremely helpful and very prompt. Our family had a very enjoyable experience.

Fantastic Bar Harbor Retreat
We had an amazing stay at this spacious, spotlessly clean house in Bar Harbor. It's conveniently close to downtown, with a beautiful backyard and all the amenities we needed. The kids loved the basement with ping pong and foosball and the basketball hoop in the driveway. Highly recommended!
