The Fresh Catch Cottage was a dream- the perfect spot for our mother/daughter getaway! Location was so good- a quick drive to both downtown and the park. It made it so easy to swing back by the house if we forgot something or just wanted some down time. Great communication along the way!

Convenient location to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and the rest of Mt Desert Island. House was clean, kitchen was great, yard was useful/semi-private, and ev charger worked perfectly for us. Communication with host was pretty good. The one downside was that the internet network went down right before our stay, meaning no wireless or TV to unwind with. After a couple of days into our stay, the hosts setup a starlink connection, which was nice. Another unexpected thing was coming back to the home after being out and seeing a house perimeter pesticide application notice at the front door.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Apr 2026
Thank you for the kind words about the location, cleanliness, and EV charger! We’re glad the Starlink backup worked out once we got it set up — the timing of that network failure was genuinely frustrating and we’re sorry it impacted your stay. We’ve since replaced the faulty component so future guests won’t run into the same issue. Regarding the pesticide notice — we do periodic perimeter treatments as part of routine property maintenance, and we’ll make sure to give guests a heads-up in advance going forward. We’d love to host you again!

What a great property and location for all things Bar Harbor! This was exactly what we were looking for in our stay. They attended to so many details, gave us excellent tips for how to spend our time during the off season, and truly went above and beyond! Would gladly come back on a future stay!

Perfect place for Bar Harbor vacation

Beautiful house in a perfect spot just outside Bar Harbor's downtown area. The house itself was immaculate with nice furnishings and comfy beds, and is extremely well-stocked. Easy walk into downtown for dinner or breakfast, and very easy to get into Acadia as well. Desiree was a great host - super responsive and friendly. Thank you for a great week!

Wonderful Pre-season Acadia Trip

The small house was extremely well thought out and very comfortable with all the amenities of home. Convenient to get to the downtown Bar Harbor area and easy to access the park. As the majority of the park isn’t open, the instructions left by the hosts were great on places to go for food and for hiking. Definitely a place to come back often!

Clean and convenient

Beautifully clean and modern home! The location cannot be beat. Easy drive or walk to downtown Bar Harbor. The house has everything you need and no extra clutter. I stay in a lot of rental properties and this property is definitely one of the best I have encountered. You can’t go wrong renting this house. The only two tiny things that could be improved are the WiFi and storage space for clothing.

Peace in Bar Harbor

We were fortunate enough to experience tranquility, good food, and breathtaking hikes while staying at Fresh Catch. There were a few businesses closed due to the off season, however we still managed to get our fill of seafood, pizza, and baked goods. The location is perfect walking distance for hikes nearby, eating at restaurants, grabbing a coffee and baked goods, and daily trips to the grocery store. Fresh Catch was super cozy on lazy snowy and rainy days. We were greeted daily by a trio of deer in the yard. Highly recommend this rental if you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the summertime. Thank you for all of the comforts you provided. We would love to return in the fall.

Design-Forward Home with Amazing Views Exceptional Hospitality

We absolutely loved our stay at this Bar Harbor gem! The design of the home is stunning—beautifully curated, cozy, and incredibly private with views that took our breath away. It was such a peaceful retreat, yet just minutes from town, which made it perfect for our work trip.We did run into a few tech hiccups with the internet and washing machine, which would’ve been no big deal on vacation—but since this was a working trip, it did set us back a bit. That said, Jeremiah went above and beyond to help. He was super responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about making things right—bringing over a hotspot multiple times and working hard to resolve everything as quickly as possible. We really appreciated getting to know him and his commitment to making sure we were comfortable.Once the internet is fully fixed, this spot is going to be an amazing recommendation for my eloping couples staying in Bar Harbor for their Acadia adventure. Thank you again, Jeremiah, for all your help and hospitality!I can't wait to come back and check out your other properties as well!Thank you Jeremiah Desiree!

Our stay at this property was absolutely incredible—truly next level. The home is immaculate, and it’s clear that Desiree has thought of everything to ensure her guests feel completely at home. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the beauty of the home and the care put into every detail. The property itself is stunning, with views of the water right from the living room and dining room that made every meal feel extra special. The attention to detail throughout the home made our stay feel luxurious, from the thoughtfully stocked kitchen to the cozy yet elegant furnishings. It’s the little touches—like the well-curated decor and the thoughtful amenities—that made such a big difference. We felt so grateful for the hospitality and the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful space. The combination of the gorgeous home, serene property, and Desiree’s care created an experience we’ll never forget. We can’t wait to return on one of our future visits to Mount Desert Island and would wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking for a truly special getaway. Thank you, Desiree, for sharing your amazing home with us—it was perfect in every way!
