The best of all worlds awaits at this bright and sunny home in Bar Harbor, where you'll be an easy walk from the bustling heart of downtown yet just as close to the serene, quiet landscapes of Acadia National Park. This two-level home, which occupies one side of a duplex, is full of large windows that let in the light and comfortable furnishings that invite you in after a day spent hiking, kayaking, or riding your bike across the national park. The living room offers views of neighboring Glen Mary Park, while the kitchen is outfitted with plentiful cabinetry, every necessary appliance, and an attached dining room. Toss the day's clothes in the private washer/dryer, light the gas grill to get started on dinner, and take in the golden hour light outside on the deck.
What's nearby: This home sits on the edge of Glen Mary Park in the southwest corner of Bar Harbor village, a location that's both away from the summer crowds yet delightfully convenient. The Village Green, a wide assortment of charming restaurants and shops, and the Bar Harbor Shore Path can all be found downtown, just half a mile northeast. Acadia National Park and the Park Loop Road are immediately south, with a stop for the free park shuttle just a 12-minute walk from the house (allowing you to avoid the hassles of driving and parking at Acadia's most famous landmarks).

Very Disappointing Rental
This place is a dump and it's dirty. I compiled a long list of things wrong with this property but don't want my review to be too long, . My one star rating should tell the tale.

Dirty run down place
The moment you walk in so many things just jump out. Starting with the lamp in the living room plugged in with no shade and no bulb. Curtains hanging up one panel trying to cover the whole window. The bedrooms stains allover carpets. Tvs in every bedroom with no remotes. One of the tvs was in the closet not even plugged in. with a dresser shoved in the closet. They did send over a remote but could not get it to work. The bathroom shower liner was yellowing. The toilet brush next to it was brown and crusty looking. The tub did not drain properly. Told them about it they told be to plunge it saw no plunger. Beds were so uncomfortable.. they did send over after the third night stay with two new box springs. the guys who delivered them said the old box springs were busted. Not even sure the ones they brought in were new no new plastic covering on them when they took them off the truck. That was so much fun dealing with on my vacation. Found an old sock left from another guest. Gatoraid bottle underneath the bed. No shade in one bedroom. just one sheer curtain panel. Again one curtain panel is not even big enough to cover the whole window. Another lamp in bedroom this one had a bulb but no lamp shade on it The ceiling fan in bedroom glass light covering was in the closet. Hole all in the walls. Furniture was very old and scratched up. I need a supervisor to call me. I have pictures of this place and believe me it does not come close to what they are showing online.

Bar Harbor Home
We had never been to Bar Harbor previously and the best thing about this house is the fact that you can walk to Bar Harbor. Parking is extremely difficult in this very popular area and the home is a very short walk into the town which is a huge plus. The house is clean and the water pressure in the showers in excellent.

Good location- cheap house
This house was on the outskirts of Bar Harbor, a nice walk to town. It was a good size for our family of 4 and clean upon arrival. The reason for 3 stars is that it was so cheaply furnished and maintained. The refrigerator leaked horribly (and it took several days for the property manager to get back to us about it). The a/c was not adequate upstairs, but horrifically noisy. The beds were cheap and uncomfortable. One of the chairs had a broken leg, etc. On the positive side, the outdoor space was nice, the manage did bring new pots and knives (the ones there were unusable) and the price was reasonable for Bar Harbor.

Perfect location
Great location with just a short walk to the first streets and shops in Bar Harbor, but away from the hustle and bustle with easy access to get into Acadia National Park. Nice quiet hours made for a great place to get to bed early and up early for some hiking.
