About this cottage rental
This seaside cottage is located on the very private west side of Matinicus Island. It has spectacular 180 degree ocean front views, beautiful sunsets and access to the shore with a great pebble beach. It was built to replicate a 1940s cottage and has a large front porch with comfortable Adirondack chairs, a hammock swing and lots of room for outside relaxation and ocean viewing. It will easily sleep 10-12 people and has plenty of space to share with extended family and friends. The cottage has a warm and cozy feel with hard wood floors, beamed ceilings and a propane stove fireplace. The main level has an inviting reading nook and a back room that doubles as a bedroom or den as well as a kitchen, dining area, laundry, full bath and deck with outdoor shower. The second floor has a full bath and four comfortable bedrooms including the master which overlooks the ocean to the west.
Matinicus is located 23 miles from Rockland, Maine in Penobscot Bay. The island is a wonderful place to get away from it all, a place for relaxation and exploration and hiking. There are no paved roads and everything is within walking distance since the island is only one mile wide by two miles long. Matinicus is also a natural bird sanctuary with hiking trails through spruce forests that lead to the shore. The beautiful ocean vistas are astounding.
Matinicus has two beautiful public sand beaches that are wonderful for swimming and collecting shells. The island is a working fishing community, not a tourist island, although visitors are always welcome. You can buy live lobster from the local fishermen and fresh baked bread and sweets from a resident baker. There is a small artisan's shop and art gallery to visit and the island residents host a local crafts fair once a week during July and August.
Getting to the island is part of the adventure. Penobscot Island Air located at Knox County Airport in Owls Head, Maine runs a flying service and a boat taxi service for transportation to Matinicus Island. Contact them for information and scheduling.
Please refer to our Lease Agreement which includes additional information including links for travel options to the Island.
If this is your first time to Matinicus Island, we recommend that you book for one full week. Once you are settled in you won't want to leave! Rental weeks in July and August are from Saturday to Saturday only.

This is our second time staying here and it's just perfect for our family. There's plenty of room, it's very comfortable, and the view can't be beat. The Libby's are great hosts. We're looking forward to our next trip!

We came to Matinicus for a family burial and the spacious cottage was perfect for all of the different family members that arrived and departed at different times.
We enjoyed our walks to the beach and the beautiful view from the front porch.
We purchased lobster from the local fishermen, and had a great family dinner on the picnic table.
Eva's (the local baker) blueberry coffee cake was the best.

Beautiful home with a rocky cove all to yourself. Fell asleep each night listening to waves tumble rocks. Swam in the ocean daily.
