Wonderful VRBO Experience - Great Location, Comfortable, and Charming!
We had an amazing time staying at this VRBO property! From start to finish, it exceeded our expectations, making for a truly unforgettable vacation. Three aspects, in particular, stood out and made our stay exceptional: Great location, comfortable, and a beautiful place to call home during our trip.

Great stay!
Wonderful location in Bar Harbor. On a quiet side street within walking distance to restaurants and harbor. Also a short drive to Acadia. Rental was clean, and was equipped with everything we needed. Having off street parking was a huge bonus. It was a pleasure meeting the owner in their lovely shop in front of the rental. Very friendly and helpful with lunch recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Location
A Little Mad Stay is in a great location. Easy access to all the shops and restaurants and Bar Island. Not to far from the bus into the park. Very clean. Nice front porch to read and have a glass of wine. Highly recommend.

Cutest place in Bar Harbor
Right in the heart of bar harbor. You are a stone’s throw from the water,restaurants, shopping and Acadia park. Place has 2 nice bedrooms, plenty of towels, shampoo, soap and toiletries. Sits immediately behind a shop with full kitchen and living room. 2 BR upstairs and quiet. Very nice stay in this beautiful town.

A Little Mad Stay was amazing
Location was perfect! We could walk to just about anywhere in just a few minutes. Having an assigned parking space was a plus, parking was scarce downtown. Space was great for 4 people. Clean and comfortable. Management company was quick to reply if we had any questions. People in the gift store were friendly. Location is just a few minutes drive to the national park. A day at the park is a must. Would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again. We had a fabulous 4 day stay!

A Little Mad Stay is a spacious rental right in the middle of Bar Harbor, walkable to everything and has designated parking. It's also on the same property as A Little Mad Gift Shop & Gallery which is a must see!

Excellent stay
Amazing location, impeccably clean - really can’t beat the hospitality. Can’t express enough how perfect the location is. To be walking distance from everything in Bar Harbor (bike rentals, restaurants, ocean tour docks, etc) was huge value for us - we have 4 young kids, age 1-8. We could literally walk back from most dinner spots to change the little guy’s diaper! Acadia access was basically right down the road, took a short walk to a few different shuttles (including a bike shuttle which runs in the summer) as well as drove ourselves a couple times. All said - very much recommend!

Perfect downtown bar harbor spot!
This place is super walkable to bar harbor restaurants and greens, there is free parking, we were able to do laundry, quality shampoo and conditioner were provided AND the owner gave us a 50 dollar gift card to their shop onsite which we used to purchase a painting to commemorate our trip to Maine!

Amazing apt in a perfect location
This apartment was in the perfect part of Bar Harbour! It’s in walking distance to absolutely everything yet still quiet at night. The apartment’s cleanliness far exceeded my expectations and the beds were surprisingly nice. Having both a reserved parking spot and personal washer/dryer machine were 2 of the best perks! We would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone!
