Homeport- Oceanfront Cape on Bass Harbor

Home Port is a charming oceanfront New England farmhouse located on Bass Harbor on Mount Desert Island, home of Acadia National Park. Homeport accommodates 6 people in three bedrooms with 2 baths. Homeport has a well equipped kitchen and dining area for gathering at the end of the day or enjoy the fresh salty air while barbecuing on the patio. The quaint fishing harbor and mountains of Acadia is the view from the deck of this comfortable home. Kayaks and a rowboat are available for your use, on a semi-private dock, shared only with the owners.

Biking, beach combing, hiking, kayaking and fishing all right at your doorstep. Several dining options are located in Southwest Harbor and lobster pound within walking distance!

The Park has nearly 32,000 acres of land which offers unequaled beauty and ocean front access. Over 55 miles of carriage trails provide hiking and biking with vistas of unrivaled beauty. Bar Harbor is a 30 minute drive and hiking trails of Acadia and the iconic Seawall are all within 15 minutes of this picturesque home.

At home at Homeport

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.

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.

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!!

Lovely Quiet Place on the Quietside

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.

We stayed for a week. The house and location was beautiful. We used the kayaks a few times. We spent most of our time in Acadia NP (~35 minutes depending on which entrance you go to). Also about 30 minutes from Bar Harbor.

Outstanding harbor house!

We all thoroughly enjoyed absolutely everything about this property! Location was fantastic! Just a short trip to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Lots of hiking, great restaurants. View from the deck was wonderful! Kitchen fully equipped, great grill! The one and only thing we can mention are the twin beds in third bedroom....difficult to sleep on.

The Ideal Acadia Getaway

The harbor was such an unbelievable setting to take in from the back deck, especially at sunset. A five-minute walk to Thurston's made dinners very easy. We ate there every night. There are plenty of great hikes and sights to take in that are a 10-15 minute drive away and your main Bar Harbor and Acadia attractions are only 30 min away. Would definitely recommend staying here.
