About this property

Oceanfront Cape near Acadia Nat'l Park- Deck- Kayaks- sleeps 6

Homeport is a classic oceanfront New England farmhouse in Bass Harbor just minutes from Acadia National Park. Overlooking a working harbor with fishing boats drifting by, this peaceful retreat comfortable accommodates six guests with three bedrooms and two baths. The first floor features a king bedroom with a private bath and walk in tile shower. A well equipped open concept kitchen and dining opens to a living area with beautiful views. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with two twin beds sharing a second full bath, making the home ideal for families or couples traveling together. A spacious deck at the front of the house faces the harbor and is the perfect spot for morning coffee or unwinding after a day exploring the Island. Guests can watch fishing boats come and go, and enjoy the kayaks and row boat available for your use right from the property. Located just 3 miles from the shops and restaurants of Southwest Harbor and about a 30 minute drive to Bar Harbor, Homeport is an ideal base for exploring Mount Desert Island.

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.

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.

Beautiful house and location

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.

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.
