My wife and I spent 3 wonderful nights at the Sandbar. The bedroom we stayed and the common areas on the ground floor were very inviting and comfortable. Chris and his team went out of their way to ensure we had a pleasant visit. Each morning there were two breakfast options (one savory, one sweet) and in the afternoon some homemade treats to go with the coffee and tea. Highly recommend.

The room was nice and big! Beautiful property. Loved the outdoor entertainment, the afternoon tea/snacks, and the delicious breakfasts. These were things we didn't experience at other B&Bs. We wish we had visited earlier in the month, as some places (restaurants/stores) had already closed for the season, and it was getting colder. Also, will stay longer if we have the opportunity to visit again.

Such an amazing and beautiful place! The Sand Bar turned our girls trip experience into something even more special! The delicious breakfast and snacks were so much better than expected, and we expected a lot! The decor, close proximity to everything we needed and wanted to do. We parked the rental when we got there and never moved it again until we were leaving! Goodbye Sand Bar! We love you!!!

Lovely stay at the Sand Bar Cottage Inn

We had a lovely stay at the Sand Bar Cottage. The location was perfect. Chris and his staff were very professional and pleasant. Our room & bathroom were spacious. Our only negative comment would be that we did not receive housekeeping every day. The bed was never made up nor was the trash removed, at a minimum. The room fees were upwards of $425/per night. Housekeeping should be provided.

We loved staying here. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Our room was great. We enjoyed the afternoon tea time treats. Coffee and tea were always avaliable. Our breakfast each morning was amazing. We loved the outdoor area options from eating out on the porch to sitting out in the garden. The location is great. It's close to all the restaurants and shops and a short drive to Acadia. This was our first time to Bar Harbor. Whenever we come back we will definitely be staying here again. Thank you Chris and staff. They made sure we had everything we needed.

The Sand Bar is hands down the most magical spot on the island. From the moment my husband and I stepped onto the property, we felt an instant connection. Chris, the sweetest innkeeper ever, welcomed us like old friends, and after four nights, that’s exactly what he became. He went above and beyond, making us feel completely at home. The property is a dream: the beautiful gardens, charming cottages, the welcoming porch, the character of the Inn all weaving together to create a haven of serenity. Mornings were lovely with amazing breakfasts, and in the afternoons, sweet treats became our little ritual, enjoyed on the porch as we soaked in moments we’ll treasure forever. Thank you, Chris, for making our stay so incredibly special. We’ll return, not just for the beauty of Sand Bar, but because of the magic you created for us.

The location was perfect and was key to a successful vacation. Street parking is a nightmare! Being able to have free safe parking on the property and shops and restaurants within walking distance made all the difference. The hospitality rooms are beautifully decorated and welcoming. Breakfast each morning was delightful and delicious! Our room was spacious and comfortable. Their staff especially Chris is very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely go back. Stayed August 29-31 2024.
