Saltair Inn Waterfront B&B - A historic waterfront property with gourmet dining and private bay views
Located in Bar Harbor's West Street Historic District, Saltair Inn Waterfront B&B occupies one oceanfront acre with direct views of Frenchman Bay. This 3-star Bar Harbor hotel features eight guest rooms, including luxury waterfront suites with private balconies and gas fireplaces. The property maintains several common areas including a living room, dining room, guest parlor, and a sunroom stocked with all-day refreshments. Guest accommodations include air conditioning, flat-screen TVs with cable, and private bathrooms equipped with heated floors in select suites. A professional chef with 30 years of experience prepares daily gourmet breakfasts featuring fresh fruit, homemade pastries, and signature hot dishes like wild Maine blueberry pancakes. The Saltair Inn sits three blocks from downtown shops and restaurants, with Acadia National Park's entrance located within three miles.
Pros
Professionally trained chef prepares gourmet breakfasts using local ingredients
Adirondack chairs positioned along the private oceanfront lawn
Multiple indoor and outdoor common areas overlooking Frenchman Bay
Third-floor coffee lounge with Keurig machine for early risers
Cons
Each room accommodates maximum two guests only
Three-block walk required to reach downtown dining and shopping
“This waterfront B&B stands out for its curated gourmet breakfasts and striking views of Frenchman Bay; the location is ideal, near both the town and Acadia National Park. A unique private beach adds to the appeal, offering sea glass hunting. I think it's a well-situated and thoughtfully managed inn.”
