Idyllic 1 BR Beachfront Apt, Close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park

Beautiful place with millions dollars view, very friendly and very helpful host Dianne and Andrew. Highly recommend!

The view and location is worth the fee alone! It is a privilege to have someone share their home with strangers let alone such an incredible location, the view from the living area, the trees, the ocean and sky, the birds along with the deer, just beautiful. This is not the tourist area of Bar Harbor, it is where the locals live and privacy abounds.

Beautiful home on the water! Great hosts. Beautiful sunsets, chairs on the beach and quiet. Easy walking distance to the Bass Harbor light house. The apartment had everything we needed. Enjoyed the gardens and overall peace. Highly recommend.

Our stay was wonderful- walk to the Bass Harbor lighthouse with your coffee in the morning and enjoy the most beautiful sunsets on the island. The hosts are wonderful and so helpful- the place is extremely clean and quiet with incredible views of the water and has everything you could want or need. We enjoyed walking through the gardens to the chairs and hammock at the waters edge to watch the boats. Drive 5 minutes for amazing rosemary and sea salt bagels, fresh bakery items, blueberry pie, coffee, and the best ice cream shop and restaurants! Enjoy hikes and views in Acadia and catch a boat close by to explore the outer islands. We loved our stay and can’t wait to return!

Great view and incredibly clean. The place had such an amazing scenery every morning and night. It was conveniently located next to the water and the lighthouse. Our hosts were also very welcoming and helpful people. Would highly recommend.

We loved this property on the 'quietside' of things-launched our kayaks right from the beach, walked to the very-popular lighthouse right down the street, rode our bikes into Bass Harbor to explore, enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets from the beach. The little kitchen served us well in cooking all of our own meals. Dianne and Andrew are lovely hosts. If you love dogs, that will be a bonus as their dog Sophie will greet you with a wag :)

When you think of a perfect stay, what you are thinking of is not quite as nice as this place. The location is unbelievable. The hosts are friendly, well informed, and accommodating. The apartment is tidy and well-furnished. Views and sunsets are out of this world. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The apartment is just a few yards from the sea, with a spectacular westerly view from the large windows. Lobster boats come put-putting by occasionally. The apartment is comfortably and tastefully decorated, and intelligently equipped, considering it has a kitchenette rather than a full kitchen. The owners were friendly and responsive, without being intrusive. The grounds show loving care. A highlight for us was sitting in Adirondack chairs by the sea, reading and watching the sea birds.

Big thank you to Andrew! Your suggestions and advice was great! We felt comfortable and lucky to have had such a great vacation. The yard and shoreline views were unbelievable. eagles in the morning and deer always. Would definitely come back. Clean private apartment was great to relax in after hiking all day.

We loved our stay...small apartment over the garage with beautiful views of the water. We had access to the the whole property and although we were gone during the day most of the time, it was a wonderful spot to come back to and walk the rocky private beach and watch the deer munch on lovely gardens!. Lobster boats came by at all times of the day and you can listen to the the bell buoys. Not appropriate for those with mobility issues or someone who wants to be in the business of Bar Harbor. It was perfect for us who like to enjoy the quiet and beauty of the area. Good local hikes nearby and Acadia was an easy drive.
