This fully renovated downtown home features an exceptional location in the heart of Bar Harbor within walking distance to all downtown restaurants, shops, a supermarket, and amenities including the main hub of the island wide free bus system. Walk to the local bike shop to rent bikes, pack a lunch and head straight to the dock where your boat departs, or grab the kids for a quick pre-dinner ice cream. You`re on vacation, after all, spend your time playing and not driving!

Situated ina small quiet residential neighborhood in the heart of Bar Harbor and just a stone`s throw from the grocery store, the Honeybee House is a historic 1920’s home that was completely renovated with a more functional open floor plan and bright big kitchen.

Featuring a lovely yard with a vibrant flower garden that compliments the deck with picnic table and gas grill, a large furnished glassed-in sun porch welcomes you into the house. Downstairs is the living room with ample seating, a spacious modern open kitchen, breakfast bar, dining area, and full bathroom. A door from the kitchen leads to the grill area and deck. With the proximity to the grocery store, this arrangement is great for cooking enthusiasts by providing the opportunity for some wonderful family meals.

The second floor is the sleeping area with 3 bedrooms and a full bath. The master bedroom has a king and stunning handcrafted cherry wardrobe; the second bedroom is a custom queen over queen bunk bed, allowing for 1 or 2 couples or a gaggle of kids; and the third bedroom has a queen. Window units for AC in primary bedroom and bunk room only. The Honeybee House is just the right combination of quiet yet convenient, with ample space and historic charm, yet an affordable rental price.

You get the whole house, the flowers and hummingbirds, and all the fresh air of Acadia National Park you can handle. 2 off-street parking spots on parking pad (2 cars max).

We have been managing property rentals since the year 2000 and have had the pleasure of serving over 1000 tenants since that time. We are physically located nearby to the Honeybee House in case you need us, but we respect the privacy of our guests.

We know from our own experience that managing family vacations can be quite a job. A little local knowledge and some extra help can make your vacation more enjoyable and hassle free.

Adam and Jen have a deep love and understanding of the natural beauty surrounding the Acadia/Mount Desert Island area and are dedicated to the vitality of the people of Mount Desert Island. We live here year round and are raising our kids here. Thus, each year we donate a portion of our proceeds to local organizations devoted to sustaining the beauty and well-being of the Mount Desert Island area and people living here.

    The house is in the perfect spot in Bar Harbor. You can walk to restaurants and shopping. It’s only a few minutes from Acadia National Park. It was perfect for our family, very clean and comfortable. Host very nice.

    The house is impeccably clean, perfectly furnished, and the location could not be more ideal for a Bar Harbor/Acadia stay. Thank you Beehive!

    This house is in a perfect location right behind the grocery store and a two minute walk to downtown. We had issues with the TV but the owners were close by and came and worked on the TV remote for us.

    Perfect spot! Great location- short walk to grocery store and all the quaint Bar Harbor shops and restaurants. Acadia is just a quick drive away, too. We were very happy with our stay and will return for sure

    Everything about our stay was wonderful. The house was even more charming than it looked in the pictures. There were oodles of clean fluffy towels, a very well stocked kitchen (spices, dishes, pots and pans, etc) and we were right in the middle of Bar Harbor. And Jen, the owner, was very helpful and proactive on communications. A great stay!

    Honey Bee house was a great place to stay! The house was clean and comfortable and conveniently located. We walked downtown every day and shopped for groceries at the supermarket at right behind the neighborhood. Jen was wonderful about checking in before and during our stay. I would definitely stay at Honey Bee House again!

    This was truly a great place to stay for our family vacation. Plenty of room for 6 adults to hang out and chill. Super close to a grocery store and in literal walking distance to the wonderful shops and restaurants Bar Harbor has to offer. East check in and check out and Jennifer was super responsive. Always checking in to make sure we had what we needed. Will definitely look for this spot on our next trip to Bar Harbor. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

    Loved that we could stay parked at the house and walk to the Bar Harbor restaurants and shops. Very short drive to Acadia National Park. The beds were very comfortable; fluffy towels; well-stacked kitchen (not that we cooked much). One note we left to the hosts was it may be helpful to include a small ice chest for guests to use to bring lunches into the park if interested.
