Five bedroom, three bath home in a secluded setting. Set back from a side road on a long winding driveway this newly renovated home is a great find for a large family or 2 or 3 couples traveling together. Located just off of Hadley Point Road, less than a œ mile from Hadley Point Beach. This beach is a local favorite and not well known to the general public. A great place to beach comb, have a barbecue or launch your boat off the public ramp. This nice home is close to everything Bar Harbor and Acadia have to offer. Downtown Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia are a short 7 to 10 min drive away.
Bar Harbor has many shops and restaurants to fancy every taste. Donât forget to have a Maine lobster dinner while you are here! Acadia with its 50 miles of carriage trails and many miles of hiking trails is one of the nicest National Parks in the country. The scenery and views are truly outstanding and will give you many hours of enjoyment.
After your day of hiking come back home to enjoy the comfortable lodging Bar Harbor Serenity has to offer. The open floor plan with the kitchen, dining area and living room give an easy place to spread out and relax. With one bedroom downstairs and three upstairs there is nice accommodations for all! bar Harbor Short Term Rental #VR2R25-290
This place was perfect for our family vacation. 10 minutes from Acadia, private, clean. Provided plenty of everything (towels, cookware, cleaning supplies). We really enjoyed our stay.
This was a great find on Mt Desert Island, giving us lots of access options for Acadia and the rest of the island. Our favorite part was probably the location, which was right up the road from the water and had lots of options to go for walks as a family on quiet back roads.Bedrooms were large and three bathrooms ensured our party of eight adults and one toddler were not on top of each other the whole time. The kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking needs. The beds were not the most comfortable but in the scheme of everything, the house was great!
Great location, easy access to Acadia and Bar harbor, lots of space, great kitchen and eating area.
Good house for families, very comfortable, plenty of room. Saw deer and wild turkeys every day, easy walk to a quiet beach - not sand, just small rocks, but lovely place to sit and enjoy the ocean.
The property was clean and as described in the listing. We lived that the property was so close to Bar Harbor and the main sights at Acadia.
We were traveling with our girl scout troop of teen girls. The wifi worked well for them and they had a great time with the games in the game room.
Wonderful stay! Would book again!
The house was large with beds for all 9 of us. Location was great, an easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The place was clean, well equipped to make meals (lobsters :) at home. Highly recommend this property, and look forward to staying here again!
Property was as advertised and we really enjoyed the seclusion and quiet neighborhood. Watching deer in the early morning prancing around the yard was a real treat. Proximity to all the places we wanted to visit was perfect.
This was in a great location. We visited Bar Harbor and Ellsworth with both being very close. The house had exactly what we needed with lots of room. We had a great time.
Kitchen absolutely stocked with anything your large party could need. They also have a small pantry with staples left by previous guests (flour, oil, sugar, etc) which was helpful to not have to purchase large quantities for our stay. Would recommend staying here.
We reserved the house for us and one other family. Unfortunately due to a death in the family we were unable to go but the other family had a wonderful time and enjoyed the house.
This place was big enough for 4 adults and 3 kids. It was away from the hustle and bustle and a short walk/drive to a beach. It was clean and had all the kitchen stuff to cook at home. Internet is a little spotty, but we made it work.
We enjoyed our time - the house was clean and well stocked - we enjoyed the fire pit and the games! We had some trouble with the internet and could not get the Direct TV to work at all.
We had a great stay! The house is close to the entrance/exit of Mount Desert Island. Bar harbor is about 15 minutes and it has easy access to Acadia. Lots of great food nearby and access to Hadley Point (water access but rocky). The house was great for our family. Beds were comfortable. It was very quiet. Kitchen was very well stocked. The only issue we had was really poor wifi and cell reception. Most of the time cell was better than wifi but we could not stream any tv without it constantly having to load and we were not able to do any work.
Overall we are very happy with our stay as this home is in a great location and is very clean. But what needs improvement is the following:
1. NO AC downstairs so it was HOT at night if you want to hang out downstairs..even with fans.
2. The upstairs bathroom smells like mold- very bad and very strong.
3. The WiFi signal is like 'dial up' - VERY poor internet.
4. No garbage disposal
5. No central air upstairs but DID have window units.
The house was great. Plenty of space for our two families totaling 9 guests. Very clean and well kept with nice furniture. The game room was stocked with giant connect 4, board games, cards, darts, foosball table. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and supplies. Paper towels, napkins, trash bags, sponges, dish soap, laundry soap all supplied, so it was great to have everything we needed in case we forgot to bring something. Lots of captainâs chairs in the closet for the beach and some beach toys and a wagon. Window unit AC in all the upstairs bedrooms. Lots of extra linens and nice decor. The best parts were, however, the nice private location on a wooded lot and the nearby (walkable) beach. The beach was so pretty and fun to explore. It was pleasantly crowded at sunset because the sunset there is stunning. Some families had fires going on the beach which added to the nice family friendly relaxing atmosphere. There is a kayak tour guide that leaves from the beach there which was also super convenient. Walkable to Island Express route that goes to visitor center and into Bar Harbor. About a 12-15 minute easy drive to Bar Harbor. Two lobster places and a winery down the road, also walkable, and mini golf a few minutes away by car. The host was very responsive to communication. Would definitely stay here again!
We were really excited to stay at this property. We were arriving during hurricane Lee and tried to shorten our trip for safety reasons, but the owner absolutely refused. Understandable, its a business to him. That was fine, we went anyway even though there was a state of emergency. The property was lacking. The lawn was not mowed, there were smoke detectors that did not work, the two exterior doors were covered in a black substance (making us not want to open them as we had kids with us), there were cracks in the ceilings and no AC downstairs with some windows not having screens. It looks like purely a RENTAL property with no pride and care from the owner. I would not recommend other than the location. We ended up leaving two days early, AFTER the hurricane just because we were so worried about the stains on the family room ceiling and whatever was on the doors. Just my thoughts.
We stayed 4 nights at this awesome home with convenient access to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Plenty of room and very quiet location. The kitchen was very well appointed with modern cookware and plenty of dishes, etc. The bedrooms were quiet and very comfortable. Bonus; we has an awesome viewing of the Northern Lights! The property manager was very responsive to questions as well. I would definitely stay here again next time weâre in the area!
