Helps a ton! This place fulfills several of our ownership "musts"....driving distance from home, independently owned, full kitchen, and SPACE for all of our children. I have only been north of Camden on Rt 1 a couple of times in the almost 25 years I've lived in Maine. We've exchanged into both Samoset and Trade Winds....but there's not much RCI stock north of that. Husband says that four weeks of timeshare are "enough." Foolish man.... Remains to be seen who will win.I actually stopped by there briefly earlier this Spring, met and chatted briefly with the manager Jim -- a very pleasant and affable guy who also personally handles all deed transfers there. Did not stay there however; was just passing through and curious after visiting friends in Hancock.
Located very directly off of the southbound side of Route 1, right before U.S. 1 veers sharply right (west) toward the upper end of old downtown Ellsworth. I like Ellsworth, personally, can't really articulate why. Hannaford grocery store in the busy nearby plaza on the other side of Route 1. Reny's nearby too.
Several different types of buildings on site at AVR --- numerous multi level townhouses, several single level "Villas" (each one containing (2) 2BR "lockoffs"). There is another single stand alone building with 2 (or was it 3?) levels. The place is affiliated only with II (i.e., not with RCI) for exchange purposes.
Indoor pool, no outdoor pool. I seem to recall Jim saying that a fitness room is either planned or maybe even already under construction. The place does not really have much of a "resort" feel to it, truth to tell, but it is certainly very well located in terms of being decent condo lodging with convenient accessibility to Acadia N.P. in one direction, Schoodic Peninsula and further "Downeast" in the other.
That's about all I know, dunno if any of it helps you. Loved the pizza at nearby Finelli's . TUG member Tony G. owns at AVR and he may see your post and chime in with more / better info and insights.
