Unique maison, spacieuse et gracieuse dans un endroit accessible à pied Premier!

This house could not have been more perfect for 9 high school friends celebrating our 60th birthdays! It is beautiful and spacious and had everything that we could possibly need. We appreciated the pantry essentials and LOVED the porch where we spent all our free time. The location is perfect - on a quiet street, but easy walking distance to everything the town has to offer. Kay and Augustine were very responsive. We could not imagine a better choice for our Bar Harbor stay!

We rented Kay and Augusto's historic home for our recent family vacation. Kay met us at the property and showed us around the house. She was absolutely delightful to meet. We had 10 family members stay for the week, and the home had more than enough room for us to be comfortable. Everyone had plenty of space to stretch out.

One of our family members loves to cook, and found everything he needed in the kitchen. The most important feature may have been the coffee pot and the Keurig, both of which got lots of use!

The house is situated in a great location in Bar Harbor, You are within walking distance of many eateries, bars, shopping, and the waterfront. Also, the Hannaford's grocery store is only a couple of blocks away, which makes stocking the kitchen easy.

Each bedroom had sufficient linens and there were plenty of towels for each of the four bathrooms. The washer and dryer on the third floor made laundry a breeze.

The one feature of the house that we absolutely loved was the outdoor space. The courtyard is a fabulous place to hang out, eat, have drinks, etc. We ate most of our dinners in the courtyard. One warning: Bar Harbor's noise ordinance states no loud outdoor activity after 9pm. We were a bit boisterous one evening, and a neighbor kindly informed us about the ordinance, so we made sure to be quiet after 9pm!

One other item to note: the house does not have air conditioning. Naturally, this is not an issue for the vast majority of the year. We happened to arrive during a hot spell, with temperatures in the high 80's for a couple of days. While there are fans in every bedroom, it remained warm at night. Fortunately for us it cooled down and was beautiful after the first few days, so no A/C was not a big deal, it is just a head's up if you are traveling at a time where it may be hot and you have people who struggle with heat in your party.

Another great feature was the access to Acadia National Park and the free Island bus system. We did a lot of hiking in the park, and members in the group who wanted to go to other locations on the island used the bus with great success.

One other note: for those who need WiFi access, it works really well. We had a large number of devices connected with no issues.

I would recommend Kay and Augusto's for any family on a getaway. The house is well appointed with everything you need, and comfortable for large groups. It certainly made our stay in Bar Harbor better!

Beautiful home in easy walking distance to all of Bar Harbor. Our vacation was perfect and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay.

When I first rented our VRBO home, I was not sure of what to expect. The gallery pictures were nice but yet I was not sure. Sometimes these photos can tend to make the home look better than it actually is. So needless to say, I was so delightfully surprised when we entered that spacious foyer of Augusto and Kay's charming home. From the lovely porch with its wicker furniture and rocking chairs to the bedroom on the third level, the house fit our needs for 11 adults and was more than I expected. The rooms were large with high ceilings and their was plenty of space to spread out. We enjoyed breakfast in the bright breakfast room and dinners around the large parson table in the dinning room.

We particularly appreciated a well stocked kitchen and the grill outside since most of our meals were prepared and enjoyed in the house. My grandchildren, ages 14 to 21,

were impressed with the uniqueness of an older house with its design and character.

Augusto and Kay have truly created a welcoming home away from home.

Another plus feature of the home was the location. We were all happy to be so close to the park, attractions, restaurants, and shopping all within walking distance. Using the bus to go to and from the park was an added pleasure. Kay and Augusto had provided excellent instructions to familiarized us with the home and any needs we may have during our stay. We also enjoyed reading about their family and their home.

Our week in Bar Harbor was most enjoyable. Our family created memories hiking, biking, kayaking, watching the sunrise on Cadillac Mountain, being together, and so much more. Thank you Augusto and Kay and VRBO for a delightful and memorable vacation.

We spent 5 days in Bar Harbor for a family get together. There were 4 adults and 5 children ranging from 15 to 23. The house was comfortable, had plenty of space and was centrally located. Would highly recommend.
