The spectacular bathroom is the showcase featuring a one of a kind breathtaking tile creation. As you sit in the jacuzzi tub you will be swept away into a vision of Frenchman's bay featuring the elusive Orca whale. Not your average run of the mill vacation rental.

Perfect Location for Our Bar Harbor Stay

This was our first time visiting Bar Harbor and this was the perfect location for us. We could walk to everything in the downtown area, and it was an easy drive to Acadia. The place was incredibly clean and spacious, and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We would definitely recommend staying here!

We had a great stay in Bar Harbor! It was super easy to walk into town and onto the shore path, and we were just a short drive away from some great hikes. The house was well-appointed and the owners were very responsive. We hope to return!

This VRBO was perfect for our stay in Bar Harbor! While a lot of stuff is closed in the winter, it was close to everything we wanted to do. The space was clean and a good size for our family of four. Would love to stay here again when we visit!

Great location

I was very impressed with the location of the house and size of the rooms. The balconies and large tub were great bonuses. One of the rooms got a little bit warm without a fan or A/C, but I imagine those aren't needed most of the year, so that's a minor gripe. All in all, we were very happy to stay here and would consider returning.
