Bar Harbor Small 1BR Condo: All You Need for your Getaway. Ideal Location!

Military veteran-owned. Please contact me if you are a disabled veteran.
I purchased this small condo in early 2022 as my winter home: I am making a film about Acadia and I use this space as my launching pad and winter respite. Upgrades: A tandem sea kayak, Two Aventon eBikes with custom seats, 7.1.2 new home theater with 77" Sony OLED TV, Le Creuset cookware, bakeware, and serve ware, refrigerator, dishwasher, high-end bedframe, luxury bed and bedding, new desk with dedicated HDR monitor and workstation, a ductless heater and air conditioner, double-reclining LazyBoy leather couch, full-size washer and dryer, and new charcoal grill.
Please read reviews posted for my first two seasons. I treat my guests as if they were my own family. A portion of rental income goes to two charities I love: Friends of Acadia and Habitude Guitars, a veterans organization. I have donated $1,000 to the same non-profits this year (2024) as well. Thank you for making this possible!
This one-bedroom efficiency condo is located at ground level for easy access and has the best location of any property on Mount Desert Island! You will be able to reach most eastern MDI hiking locations in Acadia National Park within 15 minutes from this downtown Bar Harbor location. When you return home after a day of hiking, you can park in your own off-street parking spot directly in front of your condo... and walk virtually anywhere in The village of Bar Harbor in 10 minutes! This is crucial because ANP has become one of the highest demand locations in the United States: Without dedicated parking it is near impossible to visit the village or dine at one of our many restaurants. Alternately you can bike to the park with the fully charged eBikes and skip the traffic congestion entirely!
The Village contains 99% of all restaurants, shops, bars and cafés on the entire island…and they are all within a 10 minute walk from the condo! This small two room efficiency home is appointed with a living room with exceptional natural light, a small dining table for two, and a kitchenette with full-size appliances to prepare your own food. I have the only wood-burning fireplace available in downtown Bar Harbor. I leave puhlenty of firewood on the property. Nothing beats a nice fire after a long day of hiking in Acadia during autumn, winter, and early spring!
The bedroom contains a magnificent king-size bed from Helix. The lovely solid wood frame comes from Tuft and Needle. All bedding, including down pillows and comforter are from Boll and Branch- the best available bedding and linen you can buy! I installed a new heat/AC unit in May 2023 so you can keep the window closed at night if you prefer.
It also includes a small desk with a 34-inch Apple XDR (HDR) Display, keyboard, and left and right-handed mice as well as an OWC Thunderbolt Pro charging and media station for XD, CFAST, and CF Express cards. I also provide a new B/W laser printer (paper and backup cartridges included) as well as a quality portable Epson document scanner. The internet connection is 350+mbps and is highly reliable. I leverage the best available modem/routers/WIFI from Nighthawk. I have a brand new Herman Miller Aeron chair with a nice glass floor mat.
The two new eBikes are very easy to ride and have superb hydraulic brakes too. I use them to access distant locations as well as largely inaccessible carriage roads built by the Duponts and Rockefellers in the 1920s. This is the only property in Bar Harbor to include eBikes with the property rental! The bikes are engineered so that you can allow the bike to assist you while peddling as much or as little as you desire. I have high quality helmets available for your use. Safety first!
Enjoy your morning coffee on the sunny patio, fill your day with hiking, biking and sea kayaking, walk 10 minutes to a slew of exceptional restaurants, and return home to watch your favorite movies on my Apple TV(500+ movies to choose from including all 2024 Oscar nominees). The unit also includes a brand new (2024) full-size washer and dryer should you need it. Woolite and Downy are provided as are stain removers and dryer sheets.
No pets or smoking please.
This is a carbon-neutral property.

You can spend your time fighting traffic trying to reach the park and the village or you can rest easy at this quaint, quiet and perfectly located condo!

This property was all that we were looking for and more. The location could not be beat! Walking distance to everything and the electric bikes were such a fun added bonus. The property was exactly as expected and the owner was great with communication, calling us a few hours after check in to make sure everything we needed was there. We will for sure stay here again when we return the the area!

Wife and I stayed here while we trekked throughout Acadia. It was the perfect place to stay and rest between our long days. Great communication with the host, and loved the binder he had for us at the vrbo. It made things super easy for us. Super clean, and super cozy. Phenomenal sound system on the TV as well!

Bar Harbor/Acadia beauty!
Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park area success! We absolutely fell in love with this area and this place was a great place to stay. It is in a great location, just on the edge of the bustling downtown area, easy walk to everything Bar Harbor downtown. Owner is excellent at communicating and pays special attention to quality and details, much appreciated! Perfect for a couple, very quaint, but well appointed. The E-bikes were a great perk for us! This is a perfect place to stay if you’re interested in exploring the park or the downtown, best of both! We would definitely stay again if traveling in area!

Well equipped, good use of space, and we could walk everywhere downtown. Comfortable bed and bedding. We enjoyed all the comforts of Jay’s home because he lives there part of the year. We like a Vrbo with a house manual of instructions and Jay’s was detailed, even including pictures. My husband admired the e-bikes tho we didn’t get to use them.

Perfect Bar Harbor condo
We loved our little vacation in this condo. It is small, but perfect for 2 people. The location was great -- easy walk to shops & restaurants. We were able to ride the e-bikes to Acadia National Park from the condo avoiding alot of the car traffic getting into the park. Jay was a fantastic host providing excellent instructions on everything we needed to make this trip perfect. I would absolutely recommend this condo!

Wonderfully equipped apartment in the heart of Bar Harbor
It has an arresting number of amenities: Great air conditioning, delicious Nespresso with a plethora of choices, nice soap, huge TV, stocked kitchenware, etc, etc, and even electric bicycles (which we didn’t use as we brought our own bikes.) However best of all was the host who answered every question with alacrity and provided a comprehensive loose leaf filled with directions for all the electronics in the apartment and recommendations of local shops and restaurants.

My husband and I desperately needed some time out of the city, and were so lucky to stumble on this absolute gem!! Checking in was a breeze, and all of Jay's instructions really took the guess work out of anything. Not only was the condo in an excellent location for shopping and dining, and so close to many entrances to the Acadia, but the amenities that Jay offers, like the electric bikes, were a total blast! From grilling on the patio, and cozying up by the fireplace to wind down, cooking in the kitchen, we had everything we needed to feel right at home and enjoy our stay. Everything was so clean and organized, and not to mention the high end linens and towels!! We were obsessed!! We can't wait to stay here again in the future! Thanks again Jay!

We really enjoyed staying in this condo while visiting Acadia. It is conveniently located within walking distance of everything in Bar Harbor. This small condo features upgraded furnishings that made it pleasant to return to after a day of hiking and sightseeing. The king bed was most comfortable and the condo was clean and well organized for the small space. We also appreciated having a dedicated parking space. The owner responded quickly to questions.
