Homeport - Modern oceanfront cottage overlooking quintessential Mackerel Cove
Completely renovated from the foundation up and completed in August 2011, Homeport boasts a modern design that allows you to take in stunning views of Mackerel Cove and its beach. Nestled among family-owned properties passed down through generations of lobstermen, this home enjoys a prime location on Bailey Island, just a short walk from the Bailey Island General Store, Land's End Gift Shop, and several beaches. With breathtaking sunsets and the feeling of being surrounded by water, you'll truly experience the essence of a Maine coast getaway. The picturesque views of Mackerel Cove’s waterfront stretch across anchored boats and lobster docks, leading out to the open ocean. Cool ocean breezes gently transition hot summer days into peaceful, starry nights.
This idyllic setting is perfect for exploring Maine’s renowned "rocky coast" before returning to the comfort of your home at the end of the day. A convenient boardwalk behind the house leads to a semi-private sandy beach, perfect for searching for sea glass and shells or enjoying a swim. Homeport will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression, drawing you back year after year to create new memories along the beautiful Maine coast.

This is our second stay at Homeport (the first one was 7 years ago!) and we couldn't have loved it more. The location is amazing - right at the end of Mackerel Cove - with views on the front and back. The kitchen is great - really well equipped and we loved our stay!

Outstanding
This was our family’s first stay at Homeport and it was outstanding! The location of this home could not have been better or more convenient. There are beautiful views in every direction. We loved the easy access to beaches in front of and behind the house which made our stay with our two young children and dog so much more relaxing. The house was lovely, comfortable and well-equipped and the team from MaineStay was extremely responsive. Can’t wait to return!

We have stayed at HOMEPORT several times and we will keep coming back. The location of the house is incredible. You are surrounded by water. Out the front door is Mackerel Cove one of the most photographed places in Maine .The house is well appointed and very comfortable. Even during warm weather we stayed cool with the breeze coming off the water. Close to great restaurants and shops. When I am there, I want to toss my car keys in the I can't come home.

My husband and I fell in love with Bailey Island on a trip to Maine many years ago and have come back as often as possible over the years. We especially love the view of Mackerel Cove, and so we were so excited when Homeport became available for rent. The house is amazing and the location ideal. It's a busy street, but we enjoyed watching the lobstermen arrive early in the morning and work throughout the day. The back beach is such a bonus, and we went back and forth all day. Exploring the whole Harpswell area is always one of our favorite things to do, and we were happy to discover Erica's Seafood at the end of Basin Point Road this year- highly recommended! We hated to leave Homeport at the end of our stay, but we will definitely be back!

So we drove to Homeport and settled in quickly. Everything we needed was there. The beds are comfy. The rooms are set up like you are revisiting your family vacation home. But the views are spectacular. You can walk to many places. You can cook your own food at Homeport or walk to the general store/cafe for some great food and some mighty nice people. Walk down to the beach and pop seaweed - still love that from childhood. You're close to the candy store, Land's End and directly across from the land trust which is has a perimeter grassy path that allows you to check out the meadow of many native plants. Many birds are all around but the waves are the best. Listen to the ocean, watch the boats and the lobster workers at Glen's Lobsters. Have a happy day and fall asleep listening to the waves gently crashing. Our days were a mix of clouds and sun with some rain, but certainly no disappointment. Three adults and one dog had a most happy time. So take a trip, explore, observe and rejuvenate in this peaceful place. Homeport is home.

This was our 3rd time staying at HOMEPORT. Starting 20 years ago we fell in love with the area and finding HOMEPORT as a place to stay has been perfect. We have a dog and having the Park only a few feet away is a blessing and having beaches on both sides of the house is incredible. Perfect vacation spot.

The very best features of this house were the views. They were stunning- back and front. Walkable to 2 beaches. Great beds too. Other furnishings were worn and a bit tattered. Be sure to re-wash all dishes before use. We found most including glasses withSome food residue. After some initial housekeeping, we had a wonderful stay at Homeport!

Fancy or Fiction?
Although we all liked the house, the picture in no way shows that not only are there houses right on either side, but the house is located RIGHT on the road! And although one can see Mackeral Cove easily, one has to walk down the “boardwalk” behind the house before one can see the ocean back there. Get. Truthful picture!

Idyllic Island Spot for a Restful Vacation
Home Port is just a perfect spot if you want to enjoy Bailey Island. The house is in a great location, with all of Mackerel Bay with a public beach in front and a small private beach in the back. We loved watching the goings-on in the harbor and then going to the back beach to watch the sunset. You will find all the comforts of home here, including washer-dryer and dishwasher, which we appreciated so we didn't have to do laundry when we got home. The upstairs master leads out onto your own private deck, which was a prime evening cocktail spot. There is a constant breeze, and even a ceiling fan upstairs so we were never uncomfortable. There is a big TV downstairs but no DVD player. The upstairs master does have a TV with DVD built in. The kitchen is roomy with a great gas stove and all the gadgets you will need. We found the house to be so beautifully filled with light - lots of windows and minimal window treatments were a plus. We plan to visit again and highly recommend Home Port.

Great condition. Beautiful views.
The property was in great condition, except for the area rug in the living room which was heavily spotted. I thought there could have been some table cloths, especially for the front porch table and I would have liked a rolling pin and pie plates to make blueberry pie. Otherwise the place was very well-equipped. It was really nice to have 2 big lobster pots because I cooked a dozen lobsters a couple of nights. We had a toddler and I was concerned about the road, but we watched him carefully. My grown kids and my toddler grandchild enjoyed the park and beach across the street and it was heavenly to be able to walk to Glen's and get the freshest, sweetest lobsters possible. Also, it was great to be near the General Store and the P.O. and the restaurant next door. We went to Cook's 2 or 3 times and the soft service ice cream place several times. We got prompt service when the smoke alarm battery went out and was making noise. The washer and dryer were great-- in great condition. Even though the cottage was adequate and beautifully appointed, I think that next year I'd like a little bit bigger place, but still with a great view, if that's possible and not so close to a busy street. Thanks!

A Rare Find
We stayed at Home Port for six weeks when we first moved to Maine from Colorado. We chose Home Port because of the stunning location and rented the house sight unseen. We were a little nervous doing that, but when we got to Maine and saw the inside of the house, we were very happy with our choice. The pictures in this listing do not do the home justice. The house is roomy and sun-filled, and there is a gorgeous view from every window. We rented in the off season, and since the house has three heating zones, we were always comfortable. The house is completely updated, and I was able to do a lot of cooking in the well equipped kitchen. When I didn't feel like cooking we got take-out from Morse's Cribstone Grill which I also highly recommend. The house has cable TV and high speed internet. For outside activities there are two porches, a backyard, a park across the street (a great spot for playing frisbee with our dog), a gas grill, and many, many places to walk to. My favorite was the short walk to the Giant Stairs trail. And last but not least, we spent hours watching the lobstermen in Mackerel Cove getting their boats ready for the season. Home Port is a rare find, and we will recommend it to our family and friends who are looking for a place to get away from it all.

Great Vacation!
The house was in a wonderful location! The view from every window was amazing. The house was in pristine condition, with every amenity I could ask for. We used paddle boats in the cove just behind the home. The rental company was fantastic. They even went to the home and found my daughter's IPod and mailed it home for us.
This is a great place for families or couples. The Island is a little out of the way, as far as grocery shopping and restaurants, but it was fun to explore the areas surrounding Bailey Island. We ate the local lobsters, caught just down the street and it was great!
