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.

One dog per party welcome at Homeport (a non-refundable pet fee applies).

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!

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!
