Great house near the center of Bar Harbor
We had a terrific day at the house. The owner is very nice and easy to work with. The house is exactly as advertised. The location is excellent in just a few blocks from the center of Bar Harbor. We also worked out at the YMCA, which is only one block away. And managed to work in a pickle ball game at the YMCA as well. Terrific day. Highly recommend.

Sets a high bar
Bobby and Sandi’s place was an amazing find. Great location, abundant amenities, and wonderful hosts. The property is well laid out so that we didn’t feel we were on top of one another. Two full bathrooms made the days easier to get a group going out the door and settled in at the end of the day. The fireplace made for a cozy gathering space at night and the comfortable beds and quiet neighborhood made for great sleeping. As we were there in off season, getting to and around Acadia by car was easy and the Park is amazing. Great restaurants and shopping are just blocks away from the house so, in high season this could be an ideal location to avoid traffic in Bar Harbor and use the frequent bus routes to access Acadia. We are already dreaming of a return trip to Bobby and Sandi’s place.

Thanksgiving Get-away
My daughter, dog and I visited Bar Harbor for the first time over the Thanksgiving holiday. We arrived finding a fresh pumpkin pie and lovely note of welcome on the kitchen counter. From this initial greeting, our stay was nothing short of magical. Bobby and Sandy's house is perfectly situated--close to downtown and all the Main street shops and restuarants and it backs up to a park which is perfect for those traveling with their fur baby. An added amenity is the fenced in back yard. The house was clean, the beds were comfy and the tv was easy to work, the neighborhood friendly and safe. I would not hesitate to recommend this property if someone desires an authentic Bar Harbor experience!

A BIG slice of Heaven on Earth!
Bobby and Sandi brought our favorite vacation spot to a whole new level. The house is immaculate and had everything we needed (and then some). We like to cook and wanted for nothing in the galley. The furniture in the living room is very comfortable and the fireplace was a welcome treat. The bed in the master bedroom was fantastic and made for a good night's sleep. We loved being able to walk to town and the fact that there are sidewalks on the surrounding streets (a real treat for our pup). The town fields are in the backyard, and we met fellow dog owners and played some frisbee. I can hardly wait to return in the Spring so we can enjoy the front porch and backyard.

Perfect Bar Harbor home for dog family
Stepping into the home felt like it could be a second home outfitted exactly how I’d have left it for when I return, making start up easy. The fenced in yard was a treat, and the house adorable. The location is fantastic! So quick and easy to get to downtown or the Park.

Holidays in Bar Harbor
Took advantage of a warm spell in northern Maine and celebrated the holiday in Bar Harbor. We've stayed at this property several times before and have always had a positive experience. Great house and great location that is close to downtown and easy walk into Acadia NP. Won't hesitate to come back again.

Fantastic Stay in Bar Harbor
The house location was great- easy walk to Main Street, yet very quiet. Everything was very clean & well decorated. The kitchen was excellent- very spacious and had anything you may need to fix a meal. The beds were comfortable & we slept great after busy days. Our host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend this property for a family vacation.

We highly recommend this wonderful house! Thanks to Bobby and Sandi for sharing their home with us. We are hoping to return next year.

The house is perfect for a family vacation. It was very clean and the location is superb. We walked to town every night. Acadia National Park was a 7 minute drive. The owner was great at communicating with me and even checked in by text to make sure that everything was to our liking. There is nothing negative about this place. If I have to visit Bar Harbor again, I would definitely stay here again.

Like staying with Family
This is our second time renting from this owner, first time with this location, and both experiences have been amazing. This location in particular has an excellent location to be walkable into town, and is short drives to all major attractions/ points of interest that Mount Dessert Island has to offer. I love that the property is pet friendly as well so our dog can join us for our adventures. The owners are amazing and very reachable to ensure you have an amazing stay. Will definitely love to stay with them again! If you’ve been looking then look no further, this place definitely was a great stay!
