    We really loved this house, probably our favorite ever and we rent for family trips 2-3 times per year. Great house, very comfortable, great location. Would definitely stay here again!

    Awesome house in a perfect location. Very well appointed and spacious. We could not have been happier with these accommodations for our family of 8 adults.

    The 6 of us all enjoyed our stay! We found this house to be very clean, well appointed with very thoughtful touches throughout. The host was very accommodating to a special request. The house is walking distance to the center of Bar Harbor and in very close proximity to the gorgeous Shore Path which we walked along often during the week. Great house in a great location.

    We’ve been staying in Bar Harbor for many summers, and bounced around many properties looking for “the one”. I dare say we’ve found it. The perfect combination of space, convenience, charm, and town living. The kids loved the backyard, and the proximity to the park. The adults loved the gas fire pit, the stocked kitchen, and the short walk to town. We will definitely be booking this again for our summer family retreats.

    This was a great house for your family! The location can't be beat. We appreciated that the house was not only stocked with the basics, but extras like beach towels, bug spray, tupperware, etc. The AC units worked well during a hot week. Very comfortable and well maintained.

    The house was very well stocked, and the host went above and beyond to respond to some AC issues that cropped up during our stay. She was very responsive and easy to work with and it was only a matter of minutes to a few hours before things were fixed. The house is clean and the kitchen very well stocked. Super convenient location and great neighbors. Thank you for a great stay!!!

    This house was spotless and equipped with everything we could need. I had ordered coffee and cream to be delivered with other groceries but forgot sugar. But found some neatly wrapped in the cupboard. Other things such as night lights, grilling utensils, hair dryer, phone charger, and yard and beach toys, made the stay so much more enjoyable. The owners were prompt to address any issues and gave suggestions of places to see. It’s conveniently located to walk to restaurants and shops, but at the same time the back yard feels like you’re in the woods.

    We had a wonderful stay in Avery Skye! Beautiful house! Excellent indoor and outdoor spaces for 7 people! The location is fabulous (we wish the shore path reconstruction was finished so we could have benefitted from the proximity - but it is scheduled to be done by summer 2025 by the town) The host is incredibly responsive and the house is amazingly stocked with essentials and extras. Thank you Jacqueline!

    The house was perfect and located in a wonderful area. Avery Sky has everything you need and provided a wonderful place to stay. The host was kind, helpful and responsive. The location of the home makes it very easy to walk up town and all of Mount Dessert Island was with in an easy drive. We spent many days hiking Acadia and exploring the shoreline looking for sea glass. We took a 1/2 day kayak trip and also went on a puffin cruise; both were great. We saw lots of wildlife! In late May, a few of our kiddos swam in Somes Sound. It was cold! You can hike to it from Flying Montain Trail (where we saw a porcupine eating in the trees) or you can take an easy gravel path from the parking lot down to the sound. We can’t wait to come back again. We would all easily stay in Avery Sky forever.
