Traditional Beach Camps On the Ocean Next To Markey's Beach, Matinicus Island

  • Norris Beach Camp on Matinicus Island

    Norris Beach Camp

    The beach camp sits 50’ away from the ocean's edge, tucked in a private cove. Picture windows along the length of the house keep the ocean ever-present. Guests can be entertained all day by lobster boats, views of the cove, and the open sky. The sunrise and stars are clear over the night ocean and the sunset can last for hours. There's a private deck perched above the rocky shoreline and an outdoor shower with an ocean view. The camp has a full kitchen, washer, two showers (indoor and outdoor), incinolet toilet, and a funky outhouse hidden in the woods. The sandy beach is just a short distance, you can get there in a minute. Decent wifi. Your dogs/cats are welcome.

  • Kohls Beach Cottage on Matinicus Island

    Kohls Beach Cottage

    The cottage is a simple, open concept, rectangular structure at the ocean's edge, well away from anyone else. The sand beach, which gets few visitors during the week, is 200 steps away down a woodsy path. There are three bedrooms--two with twin beds, one w/queen, and two futon couches. Picture windows along the length of the house keep the ocean ever-present. Lobster boats pull buoys outside the window. The sunrise and stars are clear and unobstructed. There's a private deck on one side and a grassy yard on the other. Washer, dryer, two showers (indoor and outdoor). Kitchen with plenty of cooking gear, four burner stove, oven. Good furnace. Decent WiFi. Dogs/cats welcome.

Many family reunions take place on Matinicus.  Two houses to rent makes it possible for an extended family group to take both and accommodate a large group with two kitchen facilities.
