About this property

Modern Flat near Bar Harbor, Ocean Beach and Carriage Paths

This charming modern flat is close to the high energy bustle of Bar Harbor ( 15 minutes by car ) and the quiet solitude of sandy beaches (a walkable 1/3 mile away) and wood hikes (nearest carriage road is 1 mile away ) Entrance to Acadia National Park is one mile away, and Jordan Pond is less than 2 miles away. The beautiful and scenic Little Long Pond is 1 mile away.
Blue Lobster was built in 2017. It sits on the ground level of a 1920's bungalow. There is an abundance of natural light. The owners (my husband and I) live one floor above. And while you may hear our foot steps at times, your privacy is assured, and neither of us are bothered by children's natural boisterous play.
Blue Lobster has its own private entrance off a classic pea gravel patio. The flat has a propane gas fireplace in the living room, central heating and air, and a shiny new kitchen and bath. Stainless appliances include a Smeg range and Bosch dishwasher and refrigerator. A new Restoration Hardware couch and reclaimed mid-century chairs define the cozy living room. A large desk has USB enhanced plugs and a child-friendly art making space. Wifi is available and Cable tv is in place. Dining is done at a counter height island or outside on the ipe built deck with large teak dining table and propane grill in the backyard.
There are two Bedrooms , one with a queen mattress, the other with two twins. Bed Mattresses are by Lull, and made of premium gel-infused memory foam. Airy open closets are included in both bedrooms. The bath has a large shower with a rainfall shower head and a second hand held hand shower head. A new washer/dryer combo is located in the bath. Plenty of new soft bath towels are available, as well as beach towels Beach chairs are available to use. No smoking or pets allowed.

Excellent!
Blue Lobster Flat is an ideal place to stay for exploring Acadia National Park. The location is perfect - not too far from anywhere on the island, just far enough from the hubbub of Bar Harbor. The unit is immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and comfortably furnished. In person it is larger and even nicer than the photos in the listing. The private yard and outdoor seating area are lovely. Kate has installed many thoughtful touches that are often absent in vacation rentals - things like wall hooks in each room, drawers and hangers to help keep your belongings organized, bedside lighting, shelf space, books, maps, even art supplies for children. The kitchen is outfitted with plenty of dishes, pots, pans and utensils. Tea bags, coffee, and hot chocolate are an added bonus. The fresh blueberry pie waiting for us on the counter was a delightful surprise. Kate is an excellent host for an outstanding accommodation. Very highly recommended.

A Seal Harbor treasure!
We loved the convenience, the relaxed style and the wonderful location of this well thought out flat. Very comfortable for sleeping and spending some down time in the evenings as well as close to walking and biking to the carriage trails and paths in Acadia National Park. Very spacious inside and outside on the deck with grill, chairs and fire pit against the forested backyard. A memorable place to stay and relax!
