Bar Harbor Getaway
Beautiful, comfortable, well equipped and decorated property with high end appliances. We all had a great time, with ages from 1 to 60. Excellent upstairs family suite with king bed, two additional beds for the kids and en suite. Host made themselves available but were not necessary as everything went smooth.

I have stayed at many VRBO’s and this one is by far the best! It was completely stocked! Extra towels, blankets, cleaning supplies, toiletries, they had a coffee bar set up and items that you may leave at home (toothbrush, toothpaste etc). I highly recommend staying here!

Perfection!
This place was amazing!!! It was the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in and the decor was sleek and modern. The bed was comfy. The linens pristine. The location was a short walk to downtown. They thought of every detail. A basket full of local treats. Extra toiletries. We did not want to leave!

Exceptional Stay – Thoughtfully Designed and Impeccably Maintained
Good morning,We checked out a bit earlier than planned, so the property is now empty and unlocked. I don’t typically leave reviews, but our stay was truly exceptional and deserving of one. The attention to detail—from the beautiful interior design to the thoughtful amenities—made it clear that guest comfort is a top priority. You’ve created a space that feels both luxurious and welcoming. I’ll definitely be recommending your Vrbo rental to family and friends!Best Regards,DSG

Great location in Bar Harbor
This was a home away from home. Our stay was short but sweet. The property is bright with lots of natural lighting and views of the cape. Everything was very clean and comfortable. If we come back to the area I would definitely book this property again without hesitation.

Wonderful house & experience
We were extremely impressed with the quality of the house (comfy beds, nice linens, nice furniture and flatware) to enjoy a nice stay with friends and explore Bar Harbor and Acadia. The house was very well stocked and the deck had a great view and was a nice spot to hang out. The shared spaces were also wonderful to enjoy hanging with friends. One of the best rental experiences we’ve ever had! Would come back in a heartbeat.
