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.

Absolutely wonderful

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.

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!

Loved every moment

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.

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.

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.

The 6 of us all enjoyed our stay! We found this house to be very clean, well appointed with very thoughtful touches throughout. The host was very accommodating to a special request. The house is walking distance to the center of Bar Harbor and in very close proximity to the gorgeous Shore Path which we walked along often during the week. Great house in a great location.

This was a great house for your family! The location can't be beat. We appreciated that the house was not only stocked with the basics, but extras like beach towels, bug spray, tupperware, etc. The AC units worked well during a hot week. Very comfortable and well maintained.

We’ve been staying in Bar Harbor for many summers, and bounced around many properties looking for “the one”. I dare say we’ve found it. The perfect combination of space, convenience, charm, and town living. The kids loved the backyard, and the proximity to the park. The adults loved the gas fire pit, the stocked kitchen, and the short walk to town. We will definitely be booking this again for our summer family retreats.
