The apartment was comfortable and quiet.

Location was great for walking around downtown Bar Harbor and to Bar Island. It is close to the park entrance, which was convenient.Our host, Dave was friendly and greeted us upon arrival and when we checked out. He was respectful of us while we were there.The apartment was comfortable and quiet. - (Oct 2025 - VRBO)

An ideal base to get the maximum enjoyment out of this beautiful area.

We enjoyed our stay at David's Bar Harbor Apt. very much. The location was excellent, being in a quiet part of town but within a 10-15 walk to everything. The pictures of the apt. don't do it justice as it is more spacious than it appears and very cute. All the amenities one would need are there including a washer/dryer that was very handy for us, as well as off-street parking. We met David in person and found him to be very helpful and attentive both when we arrived and when we left. We had a great time in Bar Harbor and would recommend David's apt. as an ideal base to get the maximum enjoyment out of this beautiful area. - (Sep 2025 - ABNB)

It felt like staying in someone's tidy and well loved home.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was very convenient for walking to the shops and restaurants in Bar Harbor. It was also very close for exploring Acadia. The location was our main reason for booking this stay, and it was exactly what we were hoping for. There were also some unexpected bonuses. The hot water was strong (almost too strong? but hey you can always turn it down). We also appreciated having a stainless steel frying pan instead of a cheap sketchy nonstick, which is frighteningly common at other vacation rentals I've stayed at. The bed was nice and firm, which, to me, was a nice surprise. I liked that the decor was minimal and felt authentic. No weird fake plants or Ikea-esque artwork to be found. It felt like staying in someone's tidy and well loved home. Everything you need. No more, no less. Our hosts were very kind, helpful, and responsive, and they have the cutest dog named Jesse. Highly recommend this stay! - (Aug 2025 - ABNB)

I so enjoyed my stay in the little cottage on Myrtle Avenue

I so enjoyed my stay in the little cottage on Myrtle Avenue. It was the perfect location to start all of my adventures and a short walk to downtown. The owners were attentive and friendly and their place was just perfect for my week long stay. it had all the amenities to start you off and a short two block walk to Hanford grocery to stock up on all the essential items. I felt right at home in my private little haven after a long day of hiking or biking or whale watching. Myrtle Avenue is a quiet, sleepy street lined with lovely flowers and adorable homes. It's just a hop, skip and a jump from the main Cottage Street shops and the hustle and bustle of downtown Bar Harbor. I hope to return very soon and explore more of this lovely little paradise. Bar Harbor was originally called Eden and it's an accurate description! Was sad to leave. - (Jul 2025 - ABNB)

We loved this house!

We loved this house! It was a perfect size for the two of us to stay for a week. Small, but you never felt like you were on top of each other. It was so walkable and had a spot in the driveway, so you could leave your car there whenever you wanted to go into town. It was also an easy drive to Acadia. We would definitely stay again! - (Jul 2025 - ABNB)

Everything was clean and comfortable.

We have a wonderful stay and would absolutely stay at this lovely rental again! Everything was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect. It was on a very quiet street, but just a few blocks away from the excitement of Bar Harbor. It is a very quick walk to tons of restaurants, bakeries, shops, the grocery store and just a short drive to the breathtaking hikes and views of Acadia National Park. The owners live in the other buildings on the property and were such a delight to talk to!! We highly recommend this rental!! :) - (Jul 2025 - ABNB)

We had a fantastic stay at this rental right in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor

We had a fantastic stay at this rental right in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor. The location couldn't be better-everything you need or want is just a short walk away, from restaurants and shops to the waterfront. Trailheads and Acadia National Park entrances were just a quick drive, making it super convenient for daily hikes. The home itself was spacious, comfortable, and fully stocked with everything we needed. It felt like a home away from home, and the hosts were warm and welcoming. Highly recommend! - (Jul 2025 - ABNB)

The place was clean and perfect for our stay in Bar Harbor

The place was clean and perfect for our stay in Bar Harbor. The owner came out to greet us and was super helpful. Walking into town was super easy, and we only needed to drive whenever we went into Acadia. The park entrance was 5 minutes away and super convenient to this place. We would love to stay here again if in the area! Highly recommend this place! - (Jun 2025 - ABNB)

Great space on a quiet street

Great space on a quiet street. Lots of places to sit for a single bedroom rental. Older home, but updated and clean! Front porch chairs were great for morning coffee and a comfy bed. Kitchen is big enough to create complex meals. Bathroom absolutely spotless with NO smells. No views from the home, but with proximity to Bar Harbor commercial area and Acadia - you'll get all your senses can take in as you explore! - (Sep 2024 - ABNB)

Location.location.location!

Location.location.location! My wife and I had a great stay and thoroughly enjoyed our week stay. We walked to all the restaurants and touristy shops. Acadia was no more than 10 to 15 minute drive. Would stay here again! - (Nov 2023 - ABNB)

This first floor was perfect for me.

This first floor was perfect for me. With prices rising up with the popularity of this vacation town, it's challenging to find something reasonably priced. I travel alone and don't need a lot of space. It was very clean and I had plenty of space. Being a 10 minute walk from the 'heart' of Bar Harbor is really nice. The Mount Desert Bakery around the corner has some of the BEST fresh baked pastries, breakfast sandwiches and coffee. I had questions about parking and they were answered fast, and they were kind enough to have signs printed up to make it clear. I'd stay here again if/when I return! - (Oct 2023 - ABNB)

Perfect walkable location to all shops/grocery and restaurants in Bar Harbor. Quiet neighborhood. Easy drive to Acadia National Park. The washer and dryer was a great addition to have for a week stay. - (Oct 2023 - ABNB)


*****

Lots of space to relax.

We would definitely stay here again. Host lives next door and was very friendly with suggestions on which restaurants to go to. House is bigger than it looks in the pictures. Lots of space to relax. It is within walking distance of downtown Bar Harbor which saved us from having to drive and find parking. - (Sep 2023 - ABNB)
