Oceanfront Cape with dock on Bass Harbor

Great location and well appointed house.

My family and I loved the peace and serenity of the property. It truly felt like home away from home. We didn't get to stay very long but the two days that we spent there we took advantage of the kayaks and rowboat available for our use. We prepared live lobsters and ate them gleefully. In the future, it would be good to have tools to crack the lobsters. The owner came to check on us to make sure the temperature of the house was comfortable. Unfortunately, there was a storm that wiped out the wifi so we were unable to get access to internet unless you had a mobile hot spot. The library nearby was closed on Fridays so we went 10 min into town and found another library which was accommodating. Overall, minus the lack of wifi, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Everything with the property was perfect and in a great location right on the water. The host was very responsive when communicating when my wife forgot her coat there and even shipped it back to us. Will definitely stay here again when we return.

Loved our stay. Enjoyed talking with Stephen.

This is a very nice property with everything you might need. We really enjoyed our stay.

What an amazing place. We've stayed four years in a row now and it's great for our family. Looking forward to our trip next summer.

A recommendation.Homeport is a clean, well built, solar powered ocean front home with a killer view in an authentic small fishing village at the far end of Mt Desert Island…far from touristy Bar Harbor where every restaurant serves the same fried bar food…instead, for brunch there is the Clark Point Cafe in Southwest Harbor where you’ll have to wait to score a table. For an upscale dinner there’s the Red Sky Restaurant next door….and if you’re into healthy veggies go to the Beech Hill Farm, a 73 acre MOFGA-certified organic farm…this is the real deal….pair their veggies with the live lobsters you will buy right off the lobster boat that docks at the Homeport’s dock…absolutely fresh and priced very rightAt that same dock, the property supplies three kayaks and a row boat for your use.Then there’s the Acadia N Park, but you already know about thatSo this place is just exceptional….and the beds are comfortable and the towels are really soft.

Perfect for 6 adults! Well-stocked kitchen for the nights we cooked. Purchased lobster off the dock. 3 trips into Bar Harbor/Acadia. Just wish I had more familiarity with the area; shopping, restaurants, etc.

Loved the location on the water and the ‘quiet side’ of the island. Comfortable home with easy communication with owners. Use of row boat and kayaks was fun for the whole family.

Awesome home. Plenty of room for 5. Very clean& kitchen fully equipped with everything we needed when cooking in. The view was beautiful. Teenage grandson & his dad enjoyed the kayaks. Great location to hike, fish, & just sit & enjoy Maine! Options nearby for restaurants. Can drive 30 minutes to Bar Harbor for shopping in the many souvenir shops though there is a cute one walking distance from the rental. We bought groceries in Ellsworth on way in but local supermarket is also available. My husband has a difficult time with beds but said the king downstairs was amazing & that says a lot! Teenagers said upstairs twin mattresses were hard but they managed just fine. Gas grill for cooking out. If we come back to this area we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!!

Great place . Near everything and very comfortable. Will decently come back.

Clean, bright and very nice. We enjoyed our staying very much

We really enjoyed our week in this lovely, quiet place. The views were amazing, the deck was perfect. The inside was very clean and nicely decorated. We slept like babies. We spent a lot of time on the water - a tour, the ferry to Swans Island ... hope to return.

The house was amazing - beautiful views. Would stay again!

This home was really nice and very well equipped. It is located on a fishing harbor that is so peaceful and colorful The location was great, close to Acadia and many good restaurants nearby. We’d love to go back!
