Stay away!
The unit wasn't very clean. Half eaten dessert in microwave, curly hairs in the bathroom sink,(many!) the beding was dirty (obvious that it hasn't been changed since the last person had slept in it, the bed was horrible and worn out. There is no view and it's hard to find. The only thing I enjoyed about it was the proximity to a cool pub. I could drink enough to go back to bed. Way overpriced and while trying to contact the management company, no one would pick up phone or return calls. I have them an opportunity to correct the issues, but they apparently have no pride in their work. Will never stay there again! Someone is making a lot of money by pulling the will over people's eyes with false advertising. I've started in Los of places and have never been so upset over the lack of customer service.

Cute studio but in the back of a deteriorated commercial garage.
Cleanliness: Feet were filthy after walking around. As the temperature increased so did the smell behind the fridge. Check in: The lockbox was broken. Had to hunt for the key. Listing: A wish list on their part. No view. No romantic area anywhere. The apartment was on the backside of what may have been a storage building. The view was of a gravel parking area & another warehouse. Communication: There was to be a local manager. Trying to get in touch with him was futile. Voice mail box was full & could not leave a message. Contacting the 'home' office about a property they knew nothing about & couldn't help us. We had asked to get a fan as there are only windows on one side...the one with the view of gravel. We were told that a fan was not listed as one of the allotted amenities. I asked where was the view as it was listed as an amenities? They hung up on me. Location: The building was on the quiet side of the island but it was on the backside of an old commercial building. Overall: I would never stay there again. The inside was cute. The outside was a joke. Move on to another listing.

Great Stay
We had an amazing time during our 3 day stay. The studio was as advertised and very comfortable. We loved how close we were to Bar Harbor and the hiking trails in Acadia.

Cute. But lacking in a couple areas.
We came for a couples getaway. The apartment is behind and below another larger apartment. It's very quiet. However, no view at all! Its across from the ocean but because its behind and connected to another building, you can see nothing. There is no outdoor space to sit and enjoy a view. We did have problems with wifi when we came, but a call to Vacasa quickly fixed that. Very nice customer service. We couldn't seem to get the a/c or heat to kick on. We weren't uncomfortable, so we didn't address it too seriously. The entrance to the bathroom is blocked by the bed. Still able to get in and out, but it's odd. TV is a little janky. But it worked, for the most part. The shower is small, like an RV. Clothing closets are in an exterior hallway, so be sure to wear clothes as you go to get your clothes. Overall, great place to stay if you aren't hanging out at the apartment too much! It's updated cute!

Good home base for adventures
We loved cooking meals in the well-equipped kitchen. Great location and the studio has all you need for a home base if you’re planning on going on lots of adventures on the island. The only issue we had was that the bathroom needs ventilation - it would get pretty musty smelling after we showered.
