It's $319–$745. The Bayview Bar Harbor sits along the coast with private balconies and true ocean views. You get a heated saltwater pool, Rusticator Wine Bar, and a hot breakfast buffet, plus a free shuttle to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. It’s a refined coastal retreat—worth the price for the scenery and location.
Coffee verdict: Breakfast is solid and easy to access. Drive time to Acadia entrance: about 25 minutes. Leave by 6:45–7:00 AM to beat mid-morning crowds and savor the park before the day heats up.
✅ BOOK IF: You want ocean views and a refined Bar Harbor stay. ❌ SKIP IF: You need a gym or plan to chase ultra-low rates.

N/A
Best for couples and families seeking a refined coastal retreat with ocean views.
May–October, with peak in August.
The Bayview isn’t a discount stay. You’re paying for ocean-view balconies, a central Bar Harbor location, and a quiet coastal vibe. The pool is seasonal, breakfast is solid, and the wine bar adds charm. If you need a gym or ultra-low rates, look elsewhere, but for a classy Acadia base it delivers.
Guests who require a gym, guaranteed elevator access, or ultra-tight budgets.
• Book direct at thebayviewbarharbor.com for the best selection. • Request ADA Room 204 if you need no stairs. • Consider Peak King in the top floor for the best views. • Plan August visits early due to peak rates.
