Bar Harbor Small 1BR Condo: All You Need for your Getaway. Ideal Location!

I purchased this small condo in early 2022 as my winter home: I am making a film about Acadia and I use this space as my launching pad and winter respite. Upgrades: Two eBikes with custom seats, new two-tone paint, high-end carpet, quality tile, water heater, 7.1.2 new home theater with Sony OLED TV, Le Creuset cookware, bakeware, and serve ware, refrigerator, dishwasher, high-end bedframe, luxury bed and bedding, new desk with dedicated HDR monitor and workstation, a ductless heater and air conditioner, double-reclining LazyBoy leather couch, high-end full-size washer and dryer, new charcoal grill.
Please read reviews posted for my first two seasons. I treat my guests as if they were my own family. A portion of rental income goes to two charities I love: Friends of Acadia and Habitude Guitars, a veterans organization. Please see the last two photos for last year's donations made possible by my guests. I will donate to the same non-profits this year (2024) as well.
This one-bedroom efficiency condo is located at ground level for easy access and has the best location of any property on Mount Desert Island! You will be able to reach most eastern MDI hiking locations in Acadia National Park within 15 minutes from this downtown Bar Harbor location. When you return home after a day of hiking, you can park in your own off-street parking spot directly in front of your condo... and walk virtually anywhere in The village of Bar Harbor in 10 minutes! This is crucial because ANP has become one of the highest demand locations in the United States: Without dedicated parking it is near impossible to visit the village or dine at one of the many restaurants.
The Village contains 99% of all restaurants, shops, bars and cafés on the entire island…and they are all within a 10 minute walk from the condo! This small two room efficiency home is appointed with a living room with exceptional natural light, a small table, and a kitchenette to prepare your own food. Appliances are full size. I have one of the very few wood-burning fireplaces available in downtown Bar Harbor. I usually leave puhlenty of firewood on the porch. Nothing beats a nice fire after a long day of hiking in Acadia during autumn, winter, and early spring!
The bedroom contains a magnificent king-size bed from Helix. The lovely solid wood frame comes from Tuft and Needle. All bedding, including down pillows and comforter are from Boll and Branch- the best available bedding and linen you can buy! I have curtains and blinds to ensure a good-night's sleep. I installed a new heat/AC unit in May 2023 so you can keep the window closed at night if you prefer.
It also includes a small desk with a 34 inch Apple XDR (HDR) Display, keyboard, and left and right-handed mice as well as an OWC Thunderbolt Pro charging and media station for XD, CFAST, and CF Express cards. I also provide a new B/W laser printer (paper and backup cartridges included) as well as a quality portable Epson document scanner. The internet connection is 350+mbps and is highly reliable. I leverage the best available modem/routers/WIFI from Nighthawk. I have a brand new Herman Miller Aeron chair with a nice glass floor mat.
The two new eBikes are intended for your use. They are very easy to ride and have superb hydraulic brakes too. I use them to access distant locations as well as largely inaccessible carriage roads built by the Duponts and Rockefellers in the 1920s. This is the only property in Bar Harbor to provide access to eBikes at no additional charge. The bikes are engineered so that you can allow the bike to assist you while peddling as much or as little as you desire. I have high quality helmets available for your use. Safety first!
Enjoy your morning coffee on the sunny patio, fill your day with hiking, biking and sea kayaking(best-in-class emergency GPS beacon provided!), walk 10 minutes to a slew of exceptional restaurants, and return home to watch your favorite movies on my Apple TV(350+ movies to choose from including all 2023 Oscar nominees). The unit also includes a brand new (2024) full-size washer and dryer should you need it. Woolite and Downy are provided as are stain removers and dryer sheets.
No pets or smoking please.
This is a carbon-neutral property.

You can spend your time fighting traffic trying to reach the park and the village or you can rest easy at this quaint, quiet and perfectly located condo!

Comfortable condo!
We really enjoyed staying in this condo while visiting Acadia. It is conveniently located within walking distance of everything in Bar Harbor. This small condo features upgraded furnishings that made it pleasant to return to after a day of hiking and sightseeing. The king bed was most comfortable and the condo was clean and well organized for the small space. We also appreciated having a dedicated parking space. The owner responded quickly to questions. We felt right at home and would stay again!

Perfect little getaway spot!
The location couldn't be better. We parked the car and walked everywhere in town during our week-long stay. The condo was very clean, and the furnishings are comfortable. The owner really makes the most of a small space. My husband and I also appreciated the brochures for things to do in Bar Harbor and the hiking maps for Acadia National Park.

Eden One
The condo is called Eden One. It was just what we needed, and the washer and dryer were very appreciated. The owner gave excellent information about the condo and left a very detailed notebook with everything we needed to know. He went to a lot of trouble with furnishings to ensure his guests had a pleasant experience, and we did!

Jay’s place is a small, cozy ground level condo on a quiet one-way street in Bar Harbor that is easily walkable to all the town has to offer and just a quick car trip to explore Acadia and other places of interest on Mount Desert Island. We loved the location and really appreciated the comfortable bed and high quality sheets and towels! It was too warm to use the wood burning fireplace while we were there, but it’s great that it is there! We also liked that we could open the windows when it cooled down at night and use the AC when needed! Jay and Nicole were both very easy to communicate with and very responsive! Jay was so kind to give me a gift for my 40th birthday (the reason for our trip) AND he donates the profits he makes from renting the condo to some wonderful charities!!! We loved staying here!! Thank you Jay!!

I generally do not respond to surveys. In this case, I would highly recommend the location, convenience, owner’s hospitality. Cam back from a wonderful break refreshed and restored.
