With charming downtown Bar Harbor a few blocks in one direction and the serene beauty of Acadia National Park in the other, this home offers a truly unbeatable location for exploring the wonders of Mount Desert Island. Occupying one half of a duplex, this two-story home will welcome you back from your daily hiking and kayaking adventures with a bright living space, WiFi throughout the house, and a washer/dryer to refresh any salty clothes. If you're not wandering downtown to dine out or pick up lobster rolls, you can get a head start on dinner in a kitchen that's fully appointed with white appliances, plentiful cabinetry, and a dishwasher for easy clean-up. Sear your main course on the gas grill, dine on the deck out back, and cozy up on the sofas for an evening movie or two on the flatscreen TV.
What's nearby:
This home is located on the edge of Glen Mary Park in the southwest corner of Bar Harbor, a leafy neighborhood that's a quick stroll from the very heart of town. If you head half a mile northeast, you'll come to all sorts of cute restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and ice cream shops that surround the Village Green, not to mention the Bar Harbor Shore Path that traces the ocean coastline in town. You can also meet up with Acadia's Park Loop Road less than a mile south, so you'll be able to easily access such notable landmarks as Champlain Mountain, Cadillac Mountain, Sand Beach, the Ocean Path, and Eagle Lake.
Things to know:

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Great location - out of the way and quiet but walking distance to BH-proper.After a potentially catastrophic problem moving in, Vacasa was able to help take care of it. The rest of the stay was great. I liked the gift pack with the dish soap, sponge, etc. with only one very minor issue: it would have been nice to have salt/pepper and a few coffee filters. Not a big deal though -- and now upcoming renters have my leftovers :)One more thing that was a non-issue for me but could be for others: The listing calls out 2 parking spots but I found only one.

Had a great family vacation here. The property was very close to Acadia National park and walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor. No need to deal with parking downtown. Just walk everywhere. Really enjoyed our time here

The home is in a good location close to town but outside of the business. When I had an issue with the dryer, Vacasa was easy to contact about the issue.

Vacasa – please please please listen to past reviewers and upgrade those mattresses! There is no excuse for a nice-looking rental in a great location to have such terrible mattresses on each bed. Imagine a cheap pull-out sofa bed mattress where you can see the springs sticking out – that is what the mattresses on the beds were like. I saw reviews from a year ago that noted this problem. Why hasn’t this been fixed? It’s not that expensive, and an upgrade would make the experience so much better. We contemplated buying an air mattress and sleeping on the floor to get through the trip. If you’re planning on booking, I would recommend bringing a memory foam pad or something because the beds were that bad. There were other small details that were off about the place – the photos on VRBO look much nicer than the place looks in person, a few windows didn’t open, the washer was on its last legs, the back door could only be locked from the inside, but I would overlook those things if I was able to get a good nights sleep in a comfortable bed!
