Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Mount Desert Island

We had a beautiful stay with views of the sound. We saw all kinds of wildlife including hawks, heron, seal, eagles, ducks and more. While the weather wasn’t nice enough for us to enjoy lots of time outside, the windows and view kept us entertained in between hikes in Acadia. Amenities were lovely and the space was everything we needed and more.

Wonderful house fully equipped with everything we needed for a week with our grown children and grandbaby. Southwest Harbor is a beautiful little town and we enjoyed the coffee shops and restaurants. Great location to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

We had a great time. Quiet location but not far from Bar Harbor. Spacious house. Very good communication with hosts.

Gorgeous ocean views right on the water! Every room has gorgeous photography on the walls, the house was extremely clean, everything clearly laid out in the house manual. Sunrises and moonrises over the ocean were stunning and unbelievable. Amazing location, super close to Tidal Falls. Drive to Acadia was easy and it is a great spot in between the Schoodic peninsula part of Acadia and the Bar Harbor part.

Lauren’s cottage was fantastic! Warm and cozy. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The weather was unfortunately chilly and wet during part of our stay and the cottage was perfect to relax.

We had a great stay! Surrounded by beautiful nature. Very private but close 15 min drive into bar harbor. Trail head in the backyard was an added bonus. Very comfortable and large space to hang out! Loved our stay and would come back!

We had a wonderful week stay celebrating our one year wedding anniversary. Samuel and Isabel and were wonderful hosts! The icing on the cake was being greeted by their sweet labs, Enzo and Stella. Our two year old daughter always had a smile on her face every time she got to see them. She poured all her love (and many hugs) to the two of them. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Mount Desert area look no further! Their guest home was beautiful, quiet, and serene. We hope to come back next year!

A beautiful house in a beautiful location! Beth was wonderful to deal with and very communicative. She kept in touch with us prior to our trip, and she patiently answered any questions we had during the trip. The views from the patio and living room are fantastic, and the area is very quiet. Both the Park and Bar Harbor are a short drive a way. This is a great place to stay on a trip to Bar Harbor.

Stayed here post honeymoon and I can’t say enough nice things about Pam and her home. From the moment you arrive to the first time you open the door you can tell Pam really put in a lot of thought and love into making this place as amazing as it is. She even left us homemade muffins which were AMAZING. Also, You have a question? There is probably a sticky note close by with an answer on it, if not she is so nice and responsive . The home itself is an absolute GEM. She has a little coop facing her kitchen in the back yard with little duck chicken goat and ponies friends to say hi to. The balcony in the Airbnb overlooks the backyard and it is so carefully put together and clean, you will see the animals just wandering around and grazing. Pam gave us recommendations for places near by and the run down of bar harbor. I would 100% recommend and stay at this place again. Thank you Pam!!!!

Great place to stay for a few days and explore the area! The space was beautiful and cozy.

This spot was a GEM! Susan was a great host providing us with great recommendations and a cozy little cabin to rest our heads in. We enjoyed cooking our own breakfast and sitting on the deck to enjoy the beautiful view. Very quaint spot being in Southwest Harbor. It featured a nice little town that so close and wasn’t too busy. We enjoyed some hiking and sailing around South west as well. And not far from Acadia and Bar Harbor. We enjoyed this trip — perfect blend of relaxing and adventure.

Such a cute place to stay near Bar Harbor and Acadia! The dogs were adorable! Perfect place to stay after a long day of exploring.

We had a wonderful stay at Ruddy's place. Ruddy and the caretaker were both very responsive and helpful. The home was comfortable, neighborhood quiet, and the location was perfect. Many restaurants, some shopping, and parks were a short walk away. Bar Harbor is absolutely beautiful, and we had a wonderful week there hiking, exploring, and enjoying the gorgeous views.

We had a lovely time here! The apartment was cozy and very clean, instructions were detailed and easy to follow. The area is very quiet and not too bad of a drive to Acadia. Would recommend to others!

We really enjoyed staying at the Phenix. The building is lovely and their rooms are very nicely updated and very comfortable. Location is fabulous and we hope to stay here again sometime.

Kevin and Donna's charming space is a hidden gem in Bar Harbor! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful yard with the multitude of birds, chickens, and ducks and the close proximity to Acadia National Park and the Bar Harbor area. Their home was the perfect space for us! It was clean and offered everything we needed while visiting the area. Kevin even checked in with us to make sure that we were warm enough when the weather took a turn and got chilly. We will definitely be back! Thanks for sharing your home with us, Kevin and Donna!

Love this Condo. Superb location in Blue Hill Village, easily walkable to everything downtown. Modern and updated making it very comfortable. Well equipped with cleaning/cooking supplies so you can "live normally". The hosts are super responsive and helpful as well. Highly recommended.

We were very happy start to finish. The location was just so unique and incredible. Right on a working marina, but very quiet. Plenty to see and do nearby. Walk across the pier and buy live lobsters. Christie was extremely helpful and quick to respond when asked. Condo was very well done with plenty of touches to make it homey. A good value! If we come back to Maine, we’ll call her first.

The place in Brooklin was delightful. We arrived at the edge of the season so got to enjoy the surrounding area mostly to ourselves. Our hosts were kind and welcoming and not overly attentive. They got a kayak out of storage and took it to the dock for me which gave me a lovely morning on the nearby cove. They also gave us a later checkout which was really helpful to not have to jump up and get things cleaned and packed. My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Pretty solid place, was on a discount but was clean, relatively near acadia, but only qualm was that it was a little hard to find. Not reallly host’s fault, we got confused. Overall solid place

The condo was so convenient, it had minimal furniture, so it was open, gave a lot of space to my kid to run around and play without the risk of getting hurt. the place had everything you could need plus the added benefit of Netflix and HBO accounts provided by the host. Kitchen had all the utensils and pots and pans needed . They have a lovely patio , we couldn't use it because it was too cold but it'll be awesome to use in summer. Derek was super friendly. He responds within minutes and always has something to help and offer. The place also came with a pack and play which was really nice

Enjoyed our stay. Brian provided many great recommendations regarding Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave! Everything about the cabin was well thought out. We loved having a fire and looking at the stars from the dock! Mark and Laurie were fantastic, friendly hosts and made us feel right at home. We would love to come back someday!

We had a great stay! The condo was very clean and cozy! The host provided clear instructions for a smooth and comfortable stay. We didn’t want to be right in Bar Harbor, so this was the perfect distance between Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park/Schoodic Area. Would recommend!
