Our walk-up 3rd Floor, 4 bedroom 3 Bath apartment is located in downtown Bar Harbor, minutes walk to bakery, restaurants, shops, bike rental, grocery and natural foods store. We are one block from historic West Street featuring some of the Bar Harbors oldest and largest seaside "cottages" as well as the famous tidal sand bar, which allows tidal access to Acadia's Bar Island. Our apartment is located on the third floor of an historic turn-of-the-century building that was originally the Bar Harbor Toy Company, which manufactured wooden toys from raw lumber. The apartment is over 3000 square feet with hardwood and carpet floors, a master king suite with its own full bath and trundle bed for those with kids. There are three other smaller bedrooms (one king, one queen, and a full size futon bed) sharing two full baths, a fully appointed kitchen with stainless appliances, breakfast bar and dining room seating for 8. The apartment has window and floor model air conditioning and off-street parking. We are also adjacent to the Island Explorer bus route, a free island wide bus service operated by Acadia National Park, June 23rd through Columbus Day.

The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed in it. It's walking distance to many restaurants and shopping in Bar Harbor and it's a short drive to Acadia. We had a lovely time.
Couldn't get a better location. Close to town, grocery store, restaurants and rentals as well as the entry to Acadia. All the instructions were clear and well spelled out. Thanks for a great stay
The six of us (mom, dad, adult sons and girlfriends) truly enjoyed this apartment! We especially appreciated the location so close to everything in town, as well as proximity to walking and biking trails (biking on the carriage roads was amazing and our 2 hours barely made a dent in the many miles of those roads). We found the space perfect for both spending time together doing the Maine coastline puzzle (10 missing pieces) and watching US Open as well as Paris Paralympics, but also liked the space/rooms to spend time apart as well.
The kitchen was ideally suited for meals: the eldest two “kids” made us salmon, risotto, and asparagus one evening which was delicious! The early morning aroma of baking croissants wafting up from the bakery downstairs was the BEST alarm clock!! Mount Dessert bakery is amazing!
We booked an Acadia National Park tour our first morning and got a great overview of locations around the park including Cadillac mountain with neat insights into history of various locations in town. Free shuttles to Acadia: TAKE THEM and save frustrations of trying to find random and rare parking spots anywhere in the various park locations! One suggestion from a shuttle driver was to take the bus to Otter Cliffs and walk back to Sand Beach to get the shuttle back to the village green. This nearly guarantees you a seat on the way back to town as the shuttle quickly fills up at Sand Beach and often doesn’t have any more room for passengers at subsequent stops.
Great place to stay in town, walk to everything in Bar Harbor, short drive to Acadia. We had a hot weather week, an air conditioner in the 4th bedroom would have been nice. But would stay again.
This property checks all the boxes! Close to everything, lots of space, communicative ownership, clean, and all the amenities! Reasonably priced for all that you get!
Really enjoyed our stay. Excellent location, can walk to everything in Bar Harbor. Nice grocery store just 2 blocks away. Lovely bakery downstairs. Rental was spacious and very comfortable. Had all we need for cooking and enjoying a rainy day of football and game night. Would definitely stay here again!
This perfectly located apartment served as our home base for 4 days in Acadia. Such a quick drive to the park and loved that in the evenings we could park and leave the car as everything in Bar Harbor was within walking distance.
The place was clean and had everything we needed. And the bedding was extremely comfortable.
The bakery downstairs is adorable and served our coffee needs beautifully!
Wow, we loved being so close to everything in Bar Harbor! And having a wonderful bakery downstairs was such a plus! This was a great apartment with plenty of room for all of my friends. My only complaint is the quality of the futon mattress in the fourth bedroom. We opted to double up and not use the 4th bedroom at all. A better bed or mattress would solve that issue easily!
Park your vehicle once and leave it! Excellent location, walking distance to everything in Bar Harbor. The host/owner was very accessible, both while we were still at home making plans and upon our arrival. We arrived in a 24' camper and host helped us park it in his off-road lot, along with our 2nd vehicle. We knew we'd be on the 3rd floor, so were able to plan accordingly. Independent bakery downstairs made for nice aroma each morning. No noise from street. Accomodations were spacious and welcoming, plenty of room to spread out. TV with streaming services, and excellent WiFi. Three generatons of us (six people), and each found a good place to set up. Plenty of open space as well as private areas.
We appreciated the new washer and dryer, and owner even provided detergent. Household linens were adequate, but we found only one beach towel. Fully equipped kitchen, but with all the excellent restaurants within walking distance, maybe next time we'll look for a place with only enough of a kitchen to prepare breakfast and snacks. But if your group intends to prepare full meals, this rental on Cottage Ave is an ideal place to come and create happy memories.
The first impression of the space is that of a stunning, open span filled with natural light and loads of storage. As the group of 9 of us stayed through seven days it proved to be wonderful in many ways including the ability to spread out, recede to private and quiet rooms, a well stocked kitchen of pots, pans, knives amd utensils , children appropriate cups, adult drinkware, ample mugs and plates, good tasting water and ice from the fridge, and the most silent dishwasher we’ve ever used. This was a perfect kitchen for a family who loves to cook and drink a lot of coffee.
As a group with an 8 year old and a 4 year old (and an infant), the overflow playroom was a marvelous and creatively used space with loads of light and comfy beanbags to chill out and read books. The carpeting kept the noise down and created a cozy space for the kids to be on the ground.
The sheets in all the rooms were luxuriously soft atop comforable beds and topped with cloudlike duvets.
There was also ample provisions of towels and facecloths to accompany a seemingly limitless supply of hot water in all three bathrooms.
Well liked by the group was also the abilty to use the washer and dryer alowing us to return home with a suitcase of clean clothes.
The stay was good. The rental isn’t for anyone with mobility issues. It’s on the third floor.
It’s cooled by small windows air conditioners. It does get warm during the day but we were comfortable. But you have the constant sound of the AC’s running.
Bakery on first floor was great. Noodle shop was always busy with people. We didn’t try it.
It was a great trip and the VRBO is great for big families.
Our group of 8 had an amazing time in Bar Harbor this year! Property was very spacious and clean, plenty of space for sleeping and hanging out. Location is fantastic - easy <5min walk to get toiletries and supplies from Hannaford, breakfast from Jordan's, and dinner from LeBrun. Double-deep parking space can accommodate 2 cars - note that the road behind the lot is narrow, be careful when backing out. Host was very prompt in communication and in addressing appliance issues. Would love to stay again!
This was our first trip since CoVid, so I was looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, and this property fit the bill. The property was perfectly located with easy access to Acadia, shops, restaurants, and groceries. Aside from that, it was very clean, nicely decorated, and had lots of room to spread out. We didn't have young children with us, but if we did, they would have loved the puzzles and games as well as the nooks and crannies.
Tips:
-The binder the property owner left was amazing. We used many of the recommendations and never felt disappointed. If you are new to the area, read it before doing anything.
-Cell service and WiFi are very spotty in the area. I suggest taking screen shots of important information (like the apartment's door code) before arriving. Don't rely on your WiFi or cellular.
-There are a lot of towels and wash clothes in the apartment. Check out the shelves across from the washer and dryer if you need extra.
-Like others have said, you do have to walk up several steps to get to the apartment. If you are traveling with a person who has limited mobility, you should skip this property.
Nice location for folks that want to walk the neighborhood. Roomy apartment on the third floor. Air conditioning units in 3 of the four bedrooms and in the main living area.
This house was perfect for a weekend in Bar Harbor. We could walk to shops and restaurants. We had two parking spaces always available. Great bakery downstairs.
The condo was bigger than expected. The location was perfect. We could walk to all the places in Bar Harbor we wanted. The place was clean, but you enter the building and are greeted by 2 garbage cans. Gave me a bad first impression. It has 3 bathrooms, which is great, but 1 could use some tlc. The kitchen is nice and roomy. The stairs leading up were fine, but after a day of hiking, we found them challenging.
Really was a perfect location and clean. I would stay again.
We had a very good stay - the apartment was comfortable and clean. The location in Bar Harbor is hard to beat for walk-ability and the breakfast cafe right below was very convenient.
Important tip - all the bedrooms have skylights with no coverings so the rooms get bright very early. Bring eye masks if you need dark to sleep.
Wonderful central location for exploring Bar Harbor and beyond.
Great location within easy walk of the heart of Bar Harbor and easy road access to Acadia and other nearby destinations. Convenient to groceries, but also bakeries and restaurants. Enough space for an extended family of 9 (ages 15-80) to not feel cramped. We loved our time here!
