North Coast Vacation Packages

We stopped in Bar Harbor for 2 nights on our was back from a week in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The inside of the unit was nice. Clean. Comfortable. Well equipped with necessities. The pictures showed a balcony. There was not one in our unit. The unit is on a side street above a pizza shop and laundromat. The view was of the gas station. I thought the price was high for the surroundings but Bar Harbor is very crowded with tourists everywhere and I believe it is an expensive area. Parking was tight. The breakfast at the restaurant was very good. One issue was there was no time stated for breakfast in the unit write up and I read the restaurant was open till 2 pm. We went for breakfast after 11 am and was told they were only serving lunch. Since lunch was the same price as breakfast, initially the restaurant would not allow us free lunch. We called the unit management and they graciously allowed us to have free lunch. Grateful for their help. We had an issue Saturday night. The pizza shop was playing very loud thumping music from 9 pm until till 12:30 am. I called and texted a few contacts of the condo management before I got a response. They were unable to quiet the situation after many calls and texts until I became more stern after midnight. Then it stopped at 12:30 am. They promised a refund for the night and I’m told they are working on it. We are 72 and 79 years old so driving to Boston on little sleep was not ideal.

First floor of property was under construction and looked a bit shabby. Overall unit was good although electronics took some getting used to.

This is a quaint almost like a boarding house but very VERY far from Acadia. The hour plus drive was torture on really bad roads and locals doing 85 on 45 roads with twists and curves. Really tough at night and coming back from the park. Do not book if you want proximity to Bar Harbor. The breakfast is overpriced and the serving staff overwhelmed. There are no options and the nearest place to get food is miles away. They offer pizza on Monday for $35 which is ridiculous. There is no fridge or microwave in the small room and the place feels outdated without the charm. Good place to go if you want to be remote and just explore Blue Hill - as there is a lake and hiking. But you are stranded for food options.

The location of this home is very misleading. Although if you search the exact location, you will find it’s in/near the forest but looking at the pics posted you would think it was near the beach and it is not. I could overlook that if the home was stocked with everything needed and beds were comfortable but that was not the case. We were given 5 bath towels for 4 people for 4days, 1 dish cloth, 1 hand towel and 1 dirty sponge with no washer or dryer and no dishwasher. Extra towels were dropped off once we called the owner but we didn’t ask for toilet paper and ran out of that as well. It just seemed like the bare minimum was done to make us comfortable. If you stay here just know you need to bring your own supplies unless you want to spend your vacation on the phone with the owners.
