We only stayed 4 nights but we could have stayed much longer. Very well appointed cottage with beautiful water views and a very secluded private beach. Great location also for convenience to restaurants and lobster pounds. Thanks!
Well cared for, clean, quiet and peaceful chalet on the water. Only 10 min to grocery store and short drive to all of Acadia attractions. Has dishwasher and washer dryer. Would stay again
My family (2 adults, 2 young children) had a lovely stay in Bar Harbor! The home was clean and well-kept. Window a/c units were helpful in keeping the home comfortable during the July midday heat. Quiet and serene with easy access to town by car.
House was extremely clean. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking necessities. Location was calm and beautiful. Owner checked in on us and responded to the one question we had extremely quickly. We had a really great stay
Our family of 4 (boys ages 11 & 13) had a wonderful vacation in Bar Harbor. Vira’s house is in a prime location on Hadley point. The sunsets on the point are spectacular! We were in town or the park most of the days but the location is super close and convenient! The house was so cute, cozy and had everything we needed. It was very clean and welcoming too. We would love to stay here again if we have the opportunity to visit again! Thank you Vira for a great stay!
This cabin was perfect. Very nicely remodeled. The location is great being on the water and only 15 minutes outside of Bar Harbor. We would definitely stay here again.
The house is in a fabulous location right next to the water and a bit away from the bustle of Bar Harbor. Everything worked and the house was well maintained.
Location is amazing-close to Bar Harbor/Acadia. Very clean. Top notch appliances. Beds are comfortable. Very responsive host and even had the opportunity to check in early. The views are amazing with beach access on property. Great deck for watching the water-even saw a whale from the property. Highly recommend.
My family had a blast staying close to Acadia National Park in this wonderful property. The host was very responsive in questions that I had and she was being proactive during the trip to make sure we did not need anything. The property was as advertised and we enjoyed our time in the wonderfully appointed house and the time on the beach. Highly recommend this property and host.
We had a great stay here. The chalet was clean and well stocked. A great layout for our family of 4. The location is great and was convenient to both sides of the island. It is right on the water - you can even swim at the beach next door. If you have kayaks - bring them!
Very authentic Maine cabin. Good location to kayak from or there is a ramp and access around the corner. We saw seals playing right out in the bay. Good to be in a quiet area but easy access to the park and Bar Harbor.
We could not have picked a more lovely chalet for a family visit to the Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park area. "Wow-factor" water views with a nice back yard and coveted beach access allowing for strolls at low-tide. The property is private, quiet and scenic- a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of nearby Bar Harbor where parking can be challenging due to crowds. Very close access to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, food, mini-golf and other nearby harbors for fishing, sight-seeing, etc. I would 100% recommend this property to any friends or family visiting the area. We'd recommend bringing drinking water given the water supply's mineral content, but this would be our top pick if and when we ever come back to Maine.
Spotlessly clean, well stocked, gorgeous view of the water. The hosts are so accommodating and kind. Stay here as long as you can!!! We will be back :)
We have stayed in several VRBO’s and this one may be the best. It was exactly what we were hoping for and more! Slept 5 adults comfortably. Every amenity you would need in the kitchen, laundry, and bathroom. Comfortable beds and pillows, box fan in the closet for those of you that sleep better with a fan like my crew.
Simple walk to the private beach or walk 5 minutes down to the public beach. I would recommend this to any family, group of friends or even a couple looking for a quiet getaway close to the park and Bar Harbor.
I think our family was the first to stay at this property and I simply can't say enough about the house and the host. The house was perfectly appointed, very adorably decorated and was the perfect Maine cottage to spend time with family. The kids spent lots of time skipping rocks on the beach in front of the house. Lots of great hiking. This is the perfect house for a maine family vacation. Lastly the host was sincere and perfect to work with.
Nice house minutes away from the downtown area of Bar Harbor.
The house was nice and clean. It was cozy and had a nice view from the back yard. The only issue we had was with the shower. The water pressure was really low and the temperature would be really hot for a minute, warm for a minute, then run cold. I also think that if some kayaks were made available it could be a selling point. I know I would have paid more if those were available. But overall the stay was good.
The location was ideal for a family of five to explore Acadia. We also spent a lot of time enjoying the lovely beach and wading in the water. The drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor was easy. We enjoyed dinner and ice cream at the nearby Sweet Pea cafe. The house was very clean and charming with a great kitchen for cooking family meals. The house, however, is not a 2-bedroom as listed. It's a 1-bedroom plus loft. We were disappointed with this because we like to put our kids to bed at night, then have some adult time, but the kitchen and living room were open to the kids' "room." The listing doesn't disclose this.
We had a great stay at the Hummingbird Chalet. The property was beautiful with a great view of the water. We walked to the beach to watch the sunset every night. It's only 10 minutes from the entrance to Acadia and 15 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor. We have 3 young kids kids and they loved the house, the yard, and the beach. Vira made the process easy and was quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Bar Harbor.
Our family had such a great vacation at the Chalet! We loved the private beach, the deck, and the decor of the house! The proximity to attractions was great, especially the winery across the street!
We did have one issue with the neighbors as our kids were riding bikes and went onto their side of the pavement.. they were a bit rude, but mainly kept to themselves.
