Homeport - Modern oceanfront cottage overlooking quintessential Mackerel Cove

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!

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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!

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.

This location was amazing and the communication was perfect. The listing forgot to mention the amazing sunset views!

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!
