Homeport - Modern oceanfront cottage overlooking quintessential Mackerel Cove
Having undergone a foundation-up renovation completed in August 2011, Homeport offers a modern design, allowing you to enjoy the magnificent views of Mackerel Cove and Mackerel Cove beach. Settled among houses that have come down through generations of lobstermen, this home offers a desirable location on Bailey Island within walking distance of the Bailey Island General Store, Land's End Gift Shop, and several beaches. The dramatic sunsets and the sense of being surrounded by water truly brings home that you are vacationing on the coast of Maine. The Mackerel Cove waterfront views stretch across all manner of moored boats and lobster docks out to open ocean. Ocean breezes chase hot summer days as they ease into starry nights.
This setting is the ideal place to set out to explore the "rocky coast of Maine" and return to the comfortable home at the end of the day. Venture behind the house and down a conveniently located boardwalk to a semi private sandy beach to search for sea glass and shells, or to take a swim. Homeport will surely leave an impression on your heart and keep you coming back year after year to make new memories on the coast of Maine.
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!
