LOADED with amenities, Strawberry Villa is a large, beautifully appointed home with 6 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths - perfect for family and group gatherings.

Welcome to Strawberry Villa—the ultimate home base for your next unforgettable getaway!
Perched atop Strawberry Hill with sweeping views and just a mile’s stroll from downtown Bar Harbor and Cromwell Harbor, Strawberry Villa puts you close to the action—yet worlds away from the crowds. Step outside onto manicured lawns, perfect for soccer, frisbee, or just soaking in the sun, while the enormous deck invites you to kick back with morning coffee or sunset cocktails. A hot tub is a great spot to rest your muscles after a day of hiking in Acadia (only two miles away).

Inside, you’ll find a haven where every member of the family can play, relax, and connect. Traveling with kids? We’ve got you covered! A high chair and pack-and-play make traveling with babies a breeze, and our stash of toys and books will keep young minds busy and happy for hours.
But the fun doesn't stop there! Dive into the game room of your dreams—foosball, ping pong, air hockey, and a retro arcade game with 10 classic options guarantee non-stop action and friendly competition. When it’s time for the adults to unwind, escape to the private sauna—your own slice of pure relaxation after a day of adventure. Or relax under the stars in a luxiorious hot tub,

Strawberry Villa is your private oasis: completely secluded, whisper-quiet, and the perfect retreat after exploring downtown or biking to scenic Cromwell Harbor. The open-concept main floor stuns with cathedral ceilings, a plush sectional, elegant furnishings, and a gourmet kitchen fully loaded for family feasts. The adjoining dining area seats 12, and huge windows let in the light and the views—plus, direct access to a massive deck with a grill, ideal for BBQ nights.
Sleep easy in the main-floor queen bedroom, or head upstairs to find four more bedrooms—including a palatial main suite with a fireplace, spa-like en suite (double vanity, glass shower, jetted tub), and portable AC for ultimate comfort. Two more bedrooms have their own AC units, so everyone stays cool.
What’s included?
Each home comes with full linens and one set of towels per guest. So, if the home accommodates 6 people, you'll find 6 sets of towels waiting for you.
Feel free to use the washer and dryer on-site to freshen them up anytime.
Further, Coastal Maine Vacations has you covered with a handy starter kit. We provide an initial supply of shampoo, conditioner, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, soaps, trash bags, and more.

Family reunion

The property is spacious and in a great location. Close enough to walk into town and tennis courts. The property management was extremely helpful and friendly. They repaired clogged sinks and replaced non functioning grill during our stay. Cleanliness of property was lacking but management did try to address this issue also.

Great large group location for Bar Harbour and Acadia

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location for a large group with kids. Our family ages ranged from 2->78. Lots of bedrooms, bathrooms and AC units in most rooms. (Check closets if no AC in a room) Nice clean property part way up Strawberry Hill. Walk-able into town, but we drove part way then walked, to avoid parking problems. Basement has all sorts of games and game tables. Large fully equipped kitchen, gas grill on deck, and large Roku equipped TV in living-room. Property management company responded rapidly. Be careful of letting kids explore the woods as one stumbled over a hornets nest and got stung. We never did find the first aid kit, which is supposed to be there.

- The kitchen area was nicely set up. Could have used a few more full size dinner plates, tongs and other utensils.- Glad that the gas tank for the grill was full. - Enjoyed the sauna!- Great host response for everything that we was asked about. e.g. no smaller garbage cans were available in the kitchen, but a solution was quickly provided. Outside light was very bright at night, but host told us where the off switch was. - Didn't realize from the pictures/description that the full bath on the first floor was en suite to a bedroom and not readily available to everyone else to use. - Excellent location close to Bar Harbor, yet quiet, even with the MDI Marathon going on that weekend. - Some of the beds were too soft, some too firm. Maybe they could be flipped, rotated or replaced.Loved the place and already booked it for next year- same time!

Our family stayed for a week in October. The property was large, secluded, yet amazingly close to the park, popular trails, the beach, and Bar Harbor. The basement game room was a hit with the kids and the jacuzzi was enjoyed by all. The property offers many opportunities to see wildlife including deer, fox, raccoons, coyotes, and even bear. I would highly recommend this property if you are visiting Acadia!

PERFECT

We arrived to our Strawberry Hill home and six of us found the bedroom that suited our needs. The home was SO VERY CLEAN and EVERYTHING was GREAT. We found a shorter route to Main Street by turning right at stop sign which was helpful. We shopped at Hannaford grocery, ate at the Reading Room which was DELICIOUS. If I wanted to add something to my BRING list I would suggest a face mask to shut out the light in the mornings from the shades. The sauna was DELIGHTFUL and I haven’t played PAC-MAN since FOREVER. We had a BLAST and this home was PERFECT.

Great location in the heart of Bar Harbor and Acadia NP

This listing was perfect for our occasion with family and friends! It is a 5 min drive into the heart of Bar Harbor, and very close to many of the amazing Acadia NP highlights (5 min to Jesup, 15 min to Sand Beach/Beehive/Ocean Shore, etc). The kitchen is large and beautiful and it was well-stocked as far as pots/pans and plate-ware. Dining and living room are more than spacious for gathering for meals, hanging out and games nights. The deck and backyard are also gorgeous and perfect for spending time relaxing and hanging out outside. The host was responsive throughout our stay with any issues we had but I would recommend bringing additional paper towels, toilet paper and garbage bags as not enough were provided for our stay at all. I will also note that the listing states 4 full baths, 1 half-bath but we could only find 3 full baths, 2 half baths. We didn’t follow up with the host to see if there was a hidden one we couldn’t find because it wasn’t a huge deal but we were initially excited that each couple (we went with 4 adult couples) would essentially have their own full bath. Overall, would not hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend to others!

This house had everything and more

We loved staying at Strawberry Hill. The six bedrooms were all very comfortable with excellent storage in each room. Each room felt private, and only one of the bedrooms even shared a common wall. The bathrooms were well appointed and spacious. The master bathroom with Jacuzzi Fireplace was unique. The kitchen was very well supplied and stocked with everything, including All the appliances and utensils we needed for some very fun family cooking. It had the big pots and all the utensils for opening up the lobsters The living room was a great gathering spot. The property was very private also and we could not see any neighbors – only the trees that were changing color for the fall. The location to the town of Bar Harbor was great so after we left the restaurant, we were back at the house in just a couple of minutes. This home is excellent in all ways. I booked the house for the family. Everyone expressed so much gratitude to me for picking the ideal place for a family reunion. Working with the property management company was excellent – they responded to all communications and questions very quickly, often in just a matter of minutes. Thank you main Vacation Rentals and owner Justin for a great experience in Maine. We plan to come back again soon.

The house was perfect for our group of 16 ages 12 to 54. We were easily able to host an 80th birthday celebration for my mom. Plenty of seating for 20 people. The house and sleep arrangements were pretty ideal compared to other stays at other locations. My only suggestion is extra towel sets!
