About this property

Well-Appointed Downtown BarHarbor /Walk to Everything/ Mins to Acadia


Renovated in July 2020. This is a 4 bedroom 2 bath. The first floor master's bedroom has en-suite bath (tub-shower combo). Prime location on a quiet dead-end street in downtown Bar Harbor. The home underwent a complete renovation in 2020. The location is perfect for walking to shops, dining and entertainment. Walkable to the town waterfront which is a hub for sightseeing, whale watching, kayak tours, etc. This is ideal for those wanting to enjoy the convenience of downtown Bar Harbor with very easy access to Acadia Natl Park.

This house has parking for 2 vehicles. It has an outdoor outlet close to the parking space.

This house is designed with comfort of our guests in mind.
There are many spaces to spread around the house.

There is a porch with two cozy swivel sofas for conversations/downtime in-between your adventures.

To the left of the house is a fenced outdoor patio with cushioned chairs providing seating for six. It has an oversized umbrella provided with solar lights providing nice ambience at night. There is an outdoor BBQ grill. The place is perfect for lounging anytime during the day or evenings.

The living room has power leather recliners (sofa, loveseat, & recliner)to enjoy the 70 inch smart tv. We offer complimentary Netflix and Disney + so you don’t miss out on your favorite shows & movies!

The dining area offers a dining table for 6 and 2 for breakfast counter dining.

The kitchen has a granite counter top, and is equipped to cook a full basic meal. We also provide a lobster pot and crackers.

The master bedroom has a 55 inch smart TV with its own master bath and washer and dryer. It has an armoire for your clothes.

The house is four seasons. It is heated with baseboard water heater in the cold months of November to early April. The outdoor patio furniture's will not be available from November to April. The grill is however available during these cold months if requested.

Highlight of location:

This is in a prime location. You cannot get any closer to the Village of Bar Harbor as well as access to Acadia.

Picture yourself waking up early in the morning to drive up to Cadillac Mountain and be one of the first to see sunrise in America-then spend the rest of your day in Sand Beach, Jordan Pond, hike Ocean path etc.

At the end of the day- you go home- leave your car in the house and walk through town, have ice cream, have a nice afternoon or sunset stroll along the waterfront or shore path and enjoy dinner at one of the restaurants in the Village- or opt for take out and enjoy your meal while at Agamont Park and enjoy the amazing views of the Waterfront.

The Hulls Cove Visitor Center of Acadia National Park is only 2.5 miles or 6 mins drive from the house. Access to Eagle Lake through the carriage roads is a mere 2-3 minutes ride.

The property has parking for 2 vehicles, depending on the vehicle size. This is a huge convenience when parking is very limited during peak tourist months and since the town had instituted parking regulations/ restrictions and parking meters

Guests with service animals are encouraged to notify the host / owner because of animal hair allergy by one of the owners / host who is closely engaged with maintaining the property.

We take pride in the cleanliness of our property and adhere to an enhanced cleaning protocol.

Grill and outdoor patio furniture's are not available from November to April.

Bar Harbor vacay

We had a wonderful stay in Bar Harbor! This rental home was very beautiful and had everything you could want or need. It is within walking distance to the shops, coffee, the waterfront and the grocery store. If it wasn’t for a few rainy, cold days, we probably would have walked everywhere! Absolutely loved it here!

Bar Harbor home

My sister, her husband and son stayed in this beautiful property. Everything was perfect, except the weather. Their trip had to be delayed by one day. The house was clean and they had everything they needed. She mentioned that shoes were requested to be removed when in the house and that was fine but they really needed slippers and they had forgotten theirs. Other than that, their stay was perfect!

Perfect place for fall trip to Bar Harbor / Acadia

Mercedes and Robard were great hosts. They were very responsive to questions and their recommendations for things to do were very helpful. The house was very clean, even to my wife’s standards. Nice updates to the house. Comfortable bed and pillows. Comfortable reclining couches for relaxing after long hikes in Acadia. Well located, easy walking to the downtown shops and restaurants.

National park visit

The house suited us very well. Our group was older parents with adult children and their spouses. It really helps to have a place where everyone has their own bedroom and we have common areas to gather. We appreciated having a main floor master suite. We never cooked a meal in the kitchen, but it seemed well outfitted. We were able to walk to town for several excellent restaurants and morning coffee. Our dead end street was very quiet and a very short drive to the other side of town. We enjoyed the stacking washer and dryer and furnished detergents. The only issue we had was a non-functioning outlet in the bathroom (inconvenient for fixing hair) and an odd lack of available outlets in the master bedroom. We ended up having to find other outlets to charge our devices and to blow dry/curling iron my hair. The place was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Definitely would recommend this place to others!

Wonderful Bar Harbor Home away from Home

The property is modern yet charming. Close to “everything” yet in a quiet setting. Bedrooms are on scale with 5 start hotels. Outdoor space was a great unexpected addition. Very clean… everything you need for a home away from home. We loved this property!!!

Return trip to hike the park and enjoy Bar Harbor. Home is walking distance to all spots in town and Cadillac Mountain is a very short drive. Have previously stayed outside of town, but recommend staying in town. Great way to end a day with dinner in town.

Perfect home in Bar Harbor

This home was in an ideal location for our trips into Acadia throughout the week. We also loved that it was walking distance to the downtown area of Bar Harbor. The host was great at responding to questions and promptly took care of an issue we had at the beginning of our stay. He went above and beyond. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to any friends or family that are traveling to the area.

Very happy with everything, the location, the house, and our hosts. Our family was very comfortable and able to enjoy what was an excellent summer vacation taking in the beauty of Acadia National Park and the charm of Bar Harbor. Tons of memories. The house was a significant component of our vacation and it made us all quite happy.

Great home in Bar Harbor

The accommodations at Mercedes and Robard’s home exceeded our expectations! The home was extremely clean, well stocked, and filled with thoughtful details making for a very enjoyable stay. All the beds (even the twin beds in the kids room) were extremely comfortable. The home was walkable to town, but removed from the main streets, so was very quiet and private. It was also a quick drive into Acadia. The hosts were very responsive to questions before and during our stay and very thoughtful giving suggestions for events happening over July 4, which we appreciated! We wished the check in were a little earlier but would still love to have the opportunity to stay at this home again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Mercedes Ang / Robard Abraham

Host profile image
We moved to Maine in 2005 and have fallen in love with this beautiful State. From the crisp clean air, crystal clear lakes, majestic mountains, bold coast. We love being so close to Acadia National Park. We enjoy the outdoors and love to fish, hike, & eat good food.

Not our primary profession but we have a passion for hosting. Mercedes is the “interior designer”. Robard is the “layout artist”. We work as one along with our cleaning crew, carpenters, plumbers, and electrician to provide beautiful & comfortable places to delight our guests!


All our properties are thoughtfully designed with guests’ comfort in mind.

We are always all ears from our guests for recommendations, as that’s how we grow to provide quality accommodations.

May all our guests enjoy their stay and create wonderful memories!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of its location, being in a quite dead end street but just a few blocks from the bicycle shop, restaurants, and stores. The house was old and we renovated the whole place (inside and out) to accommodate the needs of vacationing guests.
We came to know our neighbors who are year round residents who are very pleasant. This is a plus as we do not have to worry about partying or loud neighbors.

What makes this property unique

We like this house because we were able to create our personal touches.
