Bar Harbor Duplex - Immaculate 6 Bedroom Gulf Front Home, Sleeps 14

What we loved about the house is the proximity to the beach. Probably the closest that we have ever been to the beach. We also appreciated the fact that there were three rooms with king size beds, and the beds were comfortable. I also appreciated the fact the table was large and when we added the bar stools, could accommodate all of my family. We had a few issues with the house, and when we called the realty company, and they responded immediately. The house does need updating. The kitchen did not even have a potholder. The kitchen stovetop only had one large burner that worked. The whole house needs to be painted..it was dungy. The carpet needs to be torn out and replaced. It was dirty. One of the bedroom closets didn't even have a clothes rod. The AC didn't work very well the last night of our stay in one of the guest rooms; it was very hot. I will add, that if the house were updated, and the above listed items were addressed, the house would be so amazing!

Our family stayed at Bar Harbor West for 9 days. The home is very spacious. It had all the amenities our family needed to make our vacation enjoyable. The property managers were very easy to work with

We picked this place for the number of people it could sleep. The previous reviews said it needed updating but they would stay there again. It still needs the updating but we would probably stay again. Primarily, the western master on second floor needs a single room AC. It was very hot in there. We worked around the issues of cooktop eye not working, two microwaves, one of which did not work, and the shortage of storage/mixing bowls. There were way too many pans/pots but very few bowls for cooking/storage. We made a trip to Dollar General and purchased our own. Loved the closeness to the water. Trips across hot sand are not fun! I personally did not like the screened in deck. The screens detracted from the view of the water. And there is no patio furniture on the upper decks and no outside table at all. Again, we brought our own chairs with us to sit out on upper decks at night. Much too hot to sit out up there during day! Living area was good. Big dining room table. Large TV. But there are a lot of stairs. Loved not having too many people crowded into same area on beach as happens if you stay in a condo. All things considered, we would stay at Bar Harbor West again.

Our kids and grandkids really enjoyed the beach right outside the door. It’s a quiet area on the beach with screened in porch on the first floor to gather and watch the waves. We enjoyed our stay.

The property was in a nice location. The house had a lot of nice amenities but many of them did not work properly. Just needs to be worked on up a bit. The back balcony decks had zero furniture on them for guests. You would have to just sit on the floor if you wanted to use those areas.

The house is a huge 12 bedroom duplex, but we just booked one side with 6 bedrooms. It is right on the beach, with excellent views of the gulf of Mexico.

We loved having bedrooms for everyone and being right on the beach. Some of the decor was dated, but served it's purpose. Plenty of space for fun.

We ran into issues on our first day, the home was large and close to the beach as advertised. However, there were quite a few updates needed in the home. After our stay, we discussed these issues with the rental manager and were told they would fix them. Overall, we were able to look past the cosmetic issues and have a good trip with our family.

Good for large family

great house for a big group! very clean and great location steps from beach
