About this property

Spacious Sunny Loft ~ Downtown Bar Harbor!

This spacious apartment is located on a quiet side street in the heart of Bar Harbor. The house is close to the Bar Island land bridge path, the Shore Path, harborfront, Village Green, restaurants, shops, bakeries, grocery store, natural foods store, cinema, museum, banks, post office, drug store, and other village amenities. Bar Harbor is a walkable destination, with connector trails to Acadia National Park, and a free Island Explorer bus service located nearby at the Village Green.

Renters must be able to navigate stairs as this rental unit is on the 2nd floor. For reference, we also have two separate rental units on the first floor of this 3-family turn-of-the-century home. For more information check out VRBO: Heart of Bar Harbor (HA 4998428) & Bar Harbor Hideaway (HA 7857609).

The spacious, private 2nd-floor apartment has its own entry from the front porch, with 16 steps leading to the 2nd-floor spacious unit with 2 bedrooms with queen-size beds, 2 full bathrooms (one with claw foot tub and a separate shower, and the other with combo tub/shower), a fully appointed kitchen/dining room with cathedral ceiling - with herbs, spices, coffee, tea, and all the miscellaneous kitchen tools and appliances just like home. The dining area has a table with seating for four, as well as a separate bench.
The kitchen leads to a large living room with a cathedral ceiling, a large sectional sofa, a reading nook with two chairs, lots of windows, and a wall-mounted Smart Roku TV, where guests may log into their own streaming services or cable accounts. The deck off of the living room has a gas grill, overlooks a small private yard with greenery with stairs leading down to the yard with outdoor seating, and is a wonderful spot to sip your morning coffee or enjoy a glass of wine in the warmth of the late afternoon sun.

Great spot! The location was awesome, just a short walk to everything in town, and we always felt safe even at night. The house itself was super clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy, plenty of room to hang out, and even a loft with yoga mats which was a nice surprise. Would definitely stay here again!

Bar Harbor Gem

Kim and Doug’s place is even nicer than it looks in the photos. It’s very spacious and the separation of the bedrooms is nice for privacy. Beds are comfy. Decor is really cute. The neighborhood is super walkable, too. We would definitely stay here again!

In the Heart of Bar Harbor

The apartment was fabulous. Clean, large, sunny, and right in the middle of Bar Harbor with off-street parking. The bedrooms and bathrooms were larger than they appeared in the listing photos. There is an alcove just inside the entrance door for storing your bikes and other toys. Very easy to walk to the restaurants, grocery store, and downtown area. A great place to stay during your Bar Harbor/Acadia vacation.

An Ideal Location For All Things Bar Harbor

This property was so ideally located for walking to restaurants and attractions in Bar Harbor. Ten minutes away was the entrance to Cadillac Mountain or Hull’s Cove Entrance to Arcadia National Park. The layout of the home was ideal for two couples. The sweet balcony with lights and a grill was very nice. I wish I could give more than 5 stars for cleanliness. It was SO clean! I was awarded MVP of our trip for finding the perfect place to stay!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this property and our host. It was so easy to walk to everything downtown. It was wonderful to have off street parking, as parking is very expensive in that whole area. The whole upper floor is for the guests including that sweet deck that is seen in the photos! All of the rooms are well equipped: nice hangers in the closets, thick towels in the bathrooms, wonderfully stocked kitchen. I really can’t say enough good things about it! Should we get back to Bar Harbor, we’ll sure be hoping to stay in this Sunny Spacious Loft again! (That name is so very apt!!!)

Excellent location

This house was the perfect fit for our group of 4 adults (2 couples) visiting Acadia National Park. It was more spacious than it looked in the picture and was so clean. We immediately felt very comfortable. The location within Bar Harbor is perfect for walking around the town (and not having to fight for parking) and is super close to the beach and sand bar to Bar Island. We would absolutely stay here again!!
