Opening in 1932, it has served the town of Bar Harbor as a movie palace ever since, accomodating such prominent families as the Rockefellers on their vacations to nearby Mount Desert Island. Kept in fantastic condition over the years, the theatre still has most of its original interior: seats, curtains, and even the original lighting board for stage performances. The Criterion Theatre also contains a floating balcony, which is rare for most movie palaces.

Everyone had great sleeping quarters and room to be all together. The back porch looking over the land bridge to Bar Island was our favorite. Location was perfect for our activities of eating, shopping and hiking Acadia! We were especially impressed with the Owner's quick and positive response to our one request. Thank you so much for opening your home to our family. The wonderful memories of this place will last us a long time! ##### David D. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### David H. Sep 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay with minor issues Overall we had a great stay at the property. Space to spread out with a large group and location can’t be beat. The house is steps from the shopping, food and drinks. Behind the house is the sandbar that leads to bar island. Had a couple of minor issues however , there was some significant staining on at least one of the couches as well as a not very clean floor throughout the house. Earlier reviews calling it old house clean is a perfect way to phrase it. Communication was ok but we had asked one question that was left unanswered by host. ##### David H.

Aug 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Well Stocked House For A Large Group Our extended family stayed at this property for a wonderful Bar Harbor vacation. A welcome feature that is not in the Vrbo website description is the number of appliances that accommodates larger groups. Two big refrigerators and a dorm size fridge where we kept drinks for the kids, two microwaves and three washers and dryers so that we could keep up with laundering clothes. In fact, if I had known there were three washer/dryer units I wouldn't have packed so much! It is located right next to a sand bar where we could observe the tide covering and then uncovering the gravel/sand walkway to an island. This house is walking distance to to many restaurants and boat tours. Acadia is a short drive. ##### Eugenia F. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill S. Aug 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Worth every penny I had never been to Bar Harbor and spent hours scrutinizing various locations, trying to figure out if this house was in a “good spot”. I will save you the work - it is!!! We LOVED this house and you cannot get any closer to restaurants, boats, beaches, lobster, shops, ice cream and more! Yet it still feels private. It’s a gorgeous house with everything you could possibly need. We loved being so close to the sandbar and spent hours everyday on the back porch. Easy drive to Acadia. We were pleasantly surprised to see fans and air conditioners running when we got there in August. Overall, just the most magical place to spend time with family and friends! My favorite Vrbo property to date!! ##### Jill S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Olivia T. Sep 5, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness This is a lovely old house with plenty of rooms for a big family. We loved that. The location was absolutely perfect, which is a big part of why it’s getting 3 stars. Unfortunately, this lovely old house just isn’t quite getting the care she deserves. It’s a huge property, so I think they’ve let some of the cleaning get on top of them. There were weird pieces of clutter everywhere, including a large nail with some foil wrappers wedged on the end in the room my toddler slept in. There were tokens from the previous bachelorette party scattered around the house, and the overall feel was just a little grimy. We put my toddler in a bathtub only to be met with flecks of black floating slime. We had to resort to a shower for a two year old, which was not a good time. There were also human hair balls in the couches, a used dental pick, and a weird exposed wire just floating around next to a sofa. This is an amazing house, I’d just recommend the owners get a better cleaning crew and make sure it’s spotless for how much you’re spending. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/38027334-f735-4930-bb80-1f4d52f55a05-1757073492945.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5b66f087-8c1f-4a5f-a403-c7c668b4edda-1757073500904.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aa402207-77f6-44f4-878f-e2f4a13d7232-1757073499159.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1fed502d-d0a1-4c05-9b94-e29677af607e-1757073487803.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Olivia T.

It is impossible to beat the location and number of beds/ bathrooms. It was what I would call old clean ( to be expected with a house on the historic register, but bothered a couple of people in our group). Bedding and rooms were clean but some things seemed to lack a bit of maintenance(windows, landscaping, outdoor areas could use a bit of clean up/improvement. exposed plywood floors on the third floor, covert with rugs and carpet runners) Overall an excellent place that many in my group including myself loved. Lots of cool old features to explore in the house. If you are a neat freak and looking for a modern experience probably not the place for you. If you don’t mind clean old historic properties with unbeatable location this is the place for you. ##### Danny R. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Eric C.

Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location, well stocked, lots of space We stayed with friends and family, loved the historic charm of this home. We loved spending time in the back yard and sunroom. The house was very well stocked - lots of dishes, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent (thank you!). Plenty of room to park, lots of umbrellas, flashlights, sunblock. Kitchen has everything needed to make larger group dinners. When we arrived furniture seemed to be in odd places, and there is a fair bit of clutter in the closets and pantry areas. Trash take out was as expected, however the recycling was not collected while we stayed and there was recycling from previous guests accumulating on the back porch. The upper rooms had poor air circulation - while fans are provided, stronger fans would be helpful. Lots of effort (more than average rentals) required when leaving - trash, cleaning dishes, stripping beds and starting laundry. Overall, we enjoyed our time in Bar Harbor and appreciate this home being shared with renters. ![View from 3rd floor balcony looking down on back porch](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1e27c8a3-4cc1-46c5-b39e-110e772b6b51-1753541849077.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View of house rear from the sand bar at low tide](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d163f3d1-23d6-4ac2-817b-5e7d646d43ab-1753542141488.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The beautiful backyard](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f4d8de13-a42b-4794-8bac-360364c2e5c7-1753542276477.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Plenty of room for frisbee or football, sunsets are beautiful ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/14e71366-4187-4484-b608-8aa0e3dcbdf9-1753542354672.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mary G.
