Photos and Description of the Matinicus Island vacation cottage rental 4 Bedrooms, 1 Den, 2 Full Baths, Sleeps 10-12

This newly constructed 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.

Car: not necessary
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, hiking and biking. 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 lobstering community, not a tourist island, although visitors are always welcome as long as they don't expect to be waited on. You can buy live lobster from the local fisherman, rent bikes at the small grocery store and buy fresh baked bread and sweets from a resident baker. There is a small artisan's shop to visit and the island residents host a local crafts fair twice a week during July and August.

Absolutely Stunning!!

islander2008 Maine, USA
Review Submitted: March 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
My entire family rented this gorgeous cottage in the summer of 2008, and can't imagine a better one. That is, unless we make it back there! We chartered out a boat to get there, because in the end that was cheaper than the ferry and the dates worked out better. Once we arrived, we had the taxi on the island bring us to the cottage. The inside is immaculate and was roomy enough for all of us (10). Loved the design of everything! We lucked out and the entire week was beautiful weather and could explore the island (bakery, gift shop, etc). Everyone on the island was so kind. This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience and will try our hardest to return.
P.S. Lobster was delicious!!
