Bar Harbor Serenity close to Hadley Point Beach
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 ½ 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. Don’t 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

Lovely home with plenty of space for 11 people. Well stocked kitchen that even had some spices for cooking in the pantry. Peaceful setting just a short drive to Bar Harbor. Nearby beach that we could watch lobster fisherman as they left to haul in their catch for the day. Host was quick to respond to questions. Comfortable mattresses to sleep on however, could use some new beds. They creaked every time you rolled over. Overall, we would stay here again and would highly recommend this lovely home away from home.

The location is very private but close to a beautiful local beach and about a 10 minute walk to the free shuttle stop. The house has a great amount of space and most everything you need. The house was acceptably clean but could use some updating and fresh paint throughout. Overall a good stay.

The house was fantastic. Spacious, comfortable, clean, and they really thought of everything you would need for a stay, even with a large family group with people of all ages and needs staying. It was nice and quiet, while still being in easy proximity to Bar Harbor & Acadia attractions. Genuinely delightful.

Good size and well equipped kitchen. We needed every one of the bedrooms for our large extended family. Reasonably close to all Desert Island and Acadia Park attractions. Driveway is a little rough and just 4 bedroom window A/C units is the barebones minimum in hot weather.

Great location, lots of space
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!

Wonderful Property
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 we’re in the area!

Very nice but lacking some amenities
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.

Fantastic location!
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 captain’s 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!

Great stay!
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!

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.
