Nestled on the eastern shore of Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor is a picturesque coastal town renowned for its stunning natural beauty, charming downtown, and vibrant maritime culture. As the gateway to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor attracts outdoor enthusiasts eager to explore scenic trails, rugged cliffs, and breathtaking ocean views. Cadillac Mountain, the highest peak on the U.S. East Coast, offers a spectacular sunrise that draws visitors year-round.

The town itself boasts a lively atmosphere, with quaint shops, art galleries, and top-notch seafood restaurants lining its historic streets. Visitors can enjoy freshly caught lobster, take a stroll along the scenic Shore Path, or embark on a whale-watching cruise from Frenchman Bay. Bar Harbor is also home to a rich history, once serving as a summer retreat for America’s elite, including the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts.

Parking is available for free on the street. The `Island Explorer` Bus that travels the island can be accessed with a short 2min walk. Walking to downtown is very easy with the location of the unit.

    The property is just what you would in a VRBO. Perfect for 2 people and walking to Bar Harbor, short drive to Acadia National Park. It was clean and all the amenities you need. I would recommend this unit.

    This was an excellent experience! The only complaint that I have that kept me from giving 5 stars was the lack of heaters in the bathroom. It was a little bit chilly while taking showers. Other wise I loved it!

    Great stay in this clean condo. It has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. It’s in a quiet neighborhood yet within walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor. We choose this place because of that plus the outdoor seating area. It has a nice balcony with comfortable chairs. Designated parking was a plus. Host was very responsive to messages. Highly recommend.

    This VRBO was true to its description—cozy, but with integrity and comfort for two people. It had ample space, all the essentials, and was in an excellent location close to town. I would definitely stay here again.

    Just what we needed for the two of us and nothing more. The only problem was that our complaint of a trilling alarm which was inside of a locked cabinet was not acted upon for 2 days. We finally called the emergency number and were given the combination for the lock.

    The unit was clean and provided all we need. Great shower, which isn't something usual for my VRBO experience. Absolutely no complaints, but the best part of all is how close it is to everything! A short drive to Acadia for awesome hiking and perfect walking distance to everything Bar Harbor has to offer. I did have a question during our stay, which I messaged through the VRBO app and received a response very quickly. Great place!!

    This is a cozy quaint apartment in a quiet neighborhood, an ideal stay for two at a very convenient location for travelers visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The apartment is very tastefully decorated in a retro style and has all the basic utilities and nice balcony/patio for relaxation. Cleanliness is A. A quick walking distance from downtown bar harbor, restaurants, grocery and also super short drive from Acadia National Park. Much recommended stay!

    We had a great stay. The property is just right I size and is in a nice quiet neighborhood. We walked to restaurants, the local Hannaford grocery store and sites. The tip to stop in Ellsworth for provisions on the way to Mt Desert Island was a good tip provided by the property manager. The apartment could have used measuring cups, mixing bowls and it would have been nice to know there is no oven. Having coffee provided was nice. We would stay here again!

    We looked at a million places before booking Inspiration Point. Initially we wanted to book something somewhere in more of a woodsy area a little hesitant to book in a residential area. We were very happy with our choice. The location could not have been more perfect. We walked everywhere in town and did not need to deal with the hassle of parking. Acadia National Park sites are a few minutes away. We could easily go somewhere in the morning and come back and walk somewhere else in the afternoon without constantly having to plan how we were going to get places. The apartment was spotless and had everything that we needed. The area was very quiet, I sometimes wondered if the neighbors were even home. The check in and check out process was very easy as well as communication with the host. We would highly recommend staying here. We had a great time!
