Bar Harbor Holiday
This house was spotless and equipped with everything we could need. I had ordered coffee and cream to be delivered with other groceries but forgot sugar. But found some neatly wrapped in the cupboard. Other things such as night lights, grilling utensils, hair dryer, phone charger, and yard and beach toys, made the stay so much more enjoyable. The owners were prompt to address any issues and gave suggestions of places to see. It’s conveniently located to walk to restaurants and shops, but at the same time the back yard feels like you’re in the woods.

Beautiful house, perfect location
We had a wonderful stay in Avery Skye! Beautiful house! Excellent indoor and outdoor spaces for 7 people! The location is fabulous (we wish the shore path reconstruction was finished so we could have benefitted from the proximity - but it is scheduled to be done by summer 2025 by the town) The host is incredibly responsive and the house is amazingly stocked with essentials and extras. Thank you Jacqueline!

Bar Harbor Family Trip
The house was perfect and located in a wonderful area. Avery Sky has everything you need and provided a wonderful place to stay. The host was kind, helpful and responsive. The location of the home makes it very easy to walk up town and all of Mount Dessert Island was with in an easy drive. We spent many days hiking Acadia and exploring the shoreline looking for sea glass. We took a 1/2 day kayak trip and also went on a puffin cruise; both were great. We saw lots of wildlife! In late May, a few of our kiddos swam in Somes Sound. It was cold! You can hike to it from Flying Montain Trail (where we saw a porcupine eating in the trees) or you can take an easy gravel path from the parking lot down to the sound. We can’t wait to come back again. We would all easily stay in Avery Sky forever.

Beautiful, comfortable house. Everything you need. Short walk to Shore Path, restaurants, shops. Perfect location: walking distance to everything, but in a peaceful neighborhood away from the crowds. In short, one of the best VRBO experiences I've ever had.

Repeat stay
Stayed at Avery Skye last year and liked it so much we booked it again this year. Perfect location so we could walk to town and get in and out of the park very easily. Jacqueline is a fantastic host and her house is well stocked-even had a cake server for an impromptu birthday cake we bought. We loved all of the games and puzzles too.

The home was perfect. Jacqueline was so responsive to any questions we had. The house was stocked with all the essentials and she thought of everything. We were so close to Acadia We had coffee on the front porch every morning and walked down the path to bar harbor before most were awake. The back yard was relaxing and all in all it was a wonderful vacation for all.

Great home and location
This home was perfect for our vacation. It is a short walk to the center of Bar Harbor and to the shore path along the water. We loved being able to walk to dinner and ice cream at night without having to find parking. It is also close to the park so that we drove between 10-30 minutes to the busy part and the quiet part of the island respectively to hike and explore. The street is quiet and we always felt safe there!

The Best, Perfect and Happy Home For Your Vacation
having traveling often and rented many vacational rentals, I can honestly say this was one of the best ever. The home was immaculate and every detail was attended to. There wasn't one thing that we wished were included in the home. Every room was totally equiped with everything needed to relax and enjoy to time to plan and cook meals and snacks. The beds were extreley comfortable and all linens and towesl were of the higest quality. The location was absolutely perfect, being able to walk to the shore or to the town for shops and restauants and the harbor. I heartly recommend this home rental as one of the finest and one that will ensure you have a wonderful Bar Harbor experience. I hope to return again someday. Maureen and two other friends.

we had the best experience at this wonder house! it’s a few steps from the shore path which we took everyday to walk to restaurants and shops on the water. the house was very roomy and squeaky clean with everything you need for an enjoyable vacation. we went across the street one morning to a farmers market and bought delicious fruits and veggies and homemade snacks. we sat in the very private and beautiful backyard every night and enjoyed the stars. the hostess was very responsive and provided many ideas on activities in the area. couldn’t have been more wonderful!

Charming and we’ll appointed home in a perfect location
This house is not cheap but well worth it. Location is perfect: only one short block to Main Street and very close to the Village Green. The house is over 100 years old and retains all the charm of such a place with modern conveniences. Decor was nice and consistent with what you would expect in a Maine house. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped for all manner of cooking. There was also a nice weber grill in the back with very nice outdoor space for both dining and lounging. We enjoyed the fire pit on the lawn as well. Bedrooms were all a good size and beds were comfy. If we come back to bar harbor we will definitely rent again.

Perfect location, comfortable stay
We had a wonderful time during our stay here. There was plenty of room for our group of six adults and two kids. House was very clean and included many thoughtful touches including more than enough towels and fans available in each bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals, as well as updated applicances, and the outdoor dining and sitting areas were lovely. Local artwork throughout the house was very peaceful to look at during our time in the house. Kids were happy to have premium channels on the TV. The location could not have been more ideal- we were able to easily walk into town and along the Shore Path every day while leaving cars in the driveway. We would love to stay here again!

Great place to stay!
My brothers and I hosted my dad’s 75th birthday trip to Bar Harbor and this was the perfect home base. We had kids and older adults and proximity to town, restaurants, shops, beautiful walking/running path overlooking the harbor was priceless. Also so close to Acadia which allowed us to really maximize our time in the park. Would be happy to stay here again!
