Find all the space you need for a memorable getaway with loved ones at this newly remodeled home just outside downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Spend your mornings hiking, sailing, and whale watching, and your afternoons relaxing in the home's lovely gathering spaces both inside and out.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a thoughtfully renovated interior with large windows and a layout that's ideal both for gathering with friends and family and for finding quiet spots to escape to. The professional-grade kitchen, the eight-person dining room, and the open living room seamlessly blend together, with the former offering stainless steel appliances and a center island with bar seating for three. There's a flatscreen TV in the living room to keep you entertained as you cook (one of six TVs in the house), built-in surround sound speakers, and beautiful, private outdoor space with a large yard and a gas grill for summer barbecues. After dinner, you can watch movies in the cozy loft space, toss the day's clothes in the washer/dryer, and sleep soundly in one of four bedrooms.

What's nearby:
This home is located on the north side of Mount Desert Island, just south of Bar Harbor Road (Route 3) and nine miles west of downtown's charming shops and restaurants. In many ways, it's the perfect location on the island, no matter if you're planning to hike, ride bikes, or go fishing, sailing, whale watching, or kayaking. If you head southeast, you'll reach the most popular parts of Acadia National Park in no time, with the Hulls Cove Visitor Center only seven miles east. And if you head south, you can explore the less traveled quiet side of Mount Desert Island, with the scenic Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse 15 miles south.

Nice spot
We appreciated its location away from the bustle of Bar Harbor but close to most everything MDI has to offer. Would appreciate window treatments and more seating in the living room. Couldn't figure out how to use DirectTV for anything live, and the TV is mounted so there's no place to plug in a Roku. Surprising that this beautiful place doesn't have air conditioning. Might stay again but not during the heat of summer.

5 Stars Overall, but…
Secluded property, surrounded by trees. Kitchen was well-stocked with “all the things”. Clean, very roomy, but seating for only 5 guests in the family room was not enough for our party of 8. Door code did not work so check-in process was not pleasant. Property Mgr promptly had us access a lockbox at rear of property for a single key after a 2nd code did not work. Stressed about that single key getting lost or left inside since we then would have been totally locked out. PM replied that someone local would come by to work on keypad. That never happened and PM did not offer reason why it didn’t. Online listing mentioned 6 TVs - we could only get one small TV in one of the bedrooms to work. This property did not offer an “instruction manual” that might have described how to get the TVs to work and any other information regarding check-out, etc. The TVs not working was not a big deal for our group, just would have been helpful to have instructions like most other properties have, especially when previous reviews have mentioned this! There are still no window coverings, and we bought a 12-cup coffee maker for the 7 coffee drinkers in our group. The property offered a Keurig which would not have been very efficient for our group. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here for its location/proximity to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor, its cleanliness, its roominess, its 4 king beds - just pointing out a few things that others considering this property should be aware of…

Family getaway of 8
Four adults and four children stayed at this property. Location is about 17 minutes from downtown bar harbor. It's about 20-30 minutes to all the main Acadia attractions. Several lobster pounds within vicinity however not that great. Location is quiet. Surrounded by trees. There are horseshoes in backyard and a basket rim on driveway however they did not provide a basketball. The four bedrooms and 3 and 2 half baths were great for the group. High ceilings throughout however no curtains which is crazy and no AC. Very stuffy at night upstairs during august. Had to pump the fans. The no curtains makes you feel like you can be watched and it makes you get up early. Kinda weird. Open floor plan on first floor was great. Kitchen has plenty of appliance however oddly there was no salt. The sofas needed some updating as they smell. Beds were comfy with decent linens. Plenty of towels and extras with two sets of washers and dryers. There is a gas grill in the back but no fire pit.

Just what we needed
This house had plenty of room for gathering together and enough space if you wanted some time to yourself. Beautiful setting. House was clean, spacious. Having 4 king size beds and 3 full bathrooms was a major plus! Kitchen had everything we needed. Like other reviews, window treatments at least on bathrooms and main floor bedroom would be a great addition, as well as some instructions for TV, audio and fireplace. Overall a wonderful place and hoping to come back next year!

Huge house in the woods
This house is very spacious - lots of room to spread out. Big living, dining, and kitchen area. Every bedroom has plenty of windows with a nice view. It seems every room in the house has a TV. The grounds are beautiful with a big lawn all around and horseshoe pit, patio and outdoor seating. the house is surrounded by forest. No neighbors in sight. We did find it a bit odd that there is not one single window treatment. No curtains, shades, or shudders in the entire house, There are also no pictures on the walls. The main living space is a bit echoey. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

The Good, The Not so Good, The Bad
Lots of great things about this place. The Good: It is a fantastic space - great for several couples or a large family. So nice to have 3 full bathrooms for 3 of the bedrooms. And yes, there are 2 sets of washers/dryers. Comfortable LR furniture and beds. It is located in a private, peaceful setting that easily accesses all areas on MDI. The kitchen is very well equipped and the outdoor space is quite nice with the patios, horseshoe pit and outdoor grill. There are many closets/storage spaces (except in one bedroom) and light switches are labeled which was helpful. The TV has Netflix, Amazon prime, YouTube, etc. The Not So Good: No coffee maker 😞, just a Keurig Used refillable Keurig pod and water still in the Keurig Slow communication from Vacasa for questions No curtains - ok downstairs but would be nice for bedrooms and bathrooms. No house manual/ TV instructions. The Bad Fresh 4 inch size wet spot on couch on 3rd floor Dirty tub with black hair on drain Overall, the house was very clean (except that tub) and we would recommend this place and enjoy staying here again.

Great Location - Lots of Space
We really enjoyed our stay at Sandy Dream. It was easy to find, had plenty of bedrooms & baths, a large well kept yard as well as privacy. After getting used to the somewhat crazy stairs we settled in well. We arrived in what we guess was a Maine heatwave. By adding some fans from Home Depot we were able to sleep comfortably. Positives: Location; The WiFi worked well; The kitchen was well equipped (we used it); The house was very clean. Negatives: Lack of seating in the main living area; No cushions for the outside furniture (We would have used the outside if there was adequate seating to match the size of the home); and NO window coverings made for much too early mornings. If you come here bring eye shades.
