Book Saltair Inn Waterfront B&B - Premium Seaview Hotel in Bar Harbor

Saltair Inn Waterfront B&B was named Best Oceanfront B&B in Maine by Yankee Magazine. The property has a private beach area where guests can hunt for sea glass along the shore. Adirondack chairs are placed on the lawn for watching sunsets over Frenchman Bay.

Multiple guest rooms offer direct balcony access to panoramic views of Frenchman Bay and Bar Island. Each room includes a gas fireplace, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and a DVD player. The Sedgwick room is a cozy option, while the Harbor Suite adds a clawfoot soaking tub with bath salts.

A custom gourmet breakfast menu is created daily by Kristi, a professionally trained chef. Options include eggs Benedict, blueberry pancakes, and banana bread French toast with chocolate hazelnut drizzle. Breakfast is served at individual tables on the back deck or inside the dining room.

The inn is a 5-minute walk to downtown Bar Harbor's shops and restaurants and a 5-minute drive to the entrance of Acadia National Park. From the backyard, guests can walk across the sandbar to Bar Island at low tide. Cadillac Mountain, the first place in the U.S. to see sunrise, is a short drive away.

The inn provides free off-street parking, which is rare in downtown Bar Harbor, and an electric vehicle charging station. Guests have access to a shared lounge with board games, a library, and complimentary snacks and beverages throughout the day. The hosts offer personalized activity recommendations and engaging conversations during breakfast.
