Ocean Front Cottage with Panoramic Views and Beautiful Sunsets

After being a guest at this property,I would find it impossible to stay anywhere else.

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.

We loved getting away from it all and decompressing with our family. The location is stunning and we were so comfortable there. Kim and John the owners are so kind and helpful always

We had an amazing time getting away from it all on Matinicus Island. As is typical for island adventures, ours did not begin completely as planned, but our wonderful hosts were very helpful with coordinating transportation. What a gorgeous property with amazing sunsets and a private beach! Our family enjoyed a peaceful and fun week on the island, hiking, swimming, playing games, and meeting many friendly locals.

The house alone would be amazing no matter where it was located - it is simply beautiful and designed for enhancing family time with it's open, flowing lay out. Perhaps the best feature though is the magnificent porch!! It is the perfect place for enjoying a morning cup of coffee, watching the sunsets or curling up with a book while listening to the waves roll the pebbles back and forth on the beach below. The fact that this home is on such a beautiful and magical island makes it a place we dream of returning to for years and years to come. Then there are the Libbys - who are the perfect hosts. It's a perfect package!!!!

This is our fourth summer on Matinicus. It's not for everyone. You have to bring all of your own food and prepare your own meals. Other than lobsters and a local bakery there are no other stores. If you're looking for solitude and beauty this is the place. Water is cold and clear.

We had such a lovely time at Kim and John's Cottage. There were 9 of us and the space easily accommodated us. Kim and John were lovely hosts and helped with pickup and drop off at the ferry. It had been over 35 years since we had been to Matinicus and our time there did not disappoint. This is truly a special place. Matt and Family

We had a great week on Matinicus yet again the Libby’s are great hosts although the weather didn’t cooperate for the first part of the week we still found plenty to do around the island and in the cottage with the ample supply of books puzzles and games. We will be back for sure!

My family - Daughters and their Family and I visit every other year and love the week letting the grandkids play outside all day. Weather wasn't the greatest this week but we still loved it. The Libby's are great hosts! Very accommodating!
