Monhegan Island Retreat - Spacious with 4 bedrooms and gorgeous ocean views.<br>


*We welcome LGBTQIA travelers and celebrate diversity and inclusion.*

This fabulous two-story, four-bedroom, 1.5 bath cape-style home on Monhegan Island offers spectacular water views from both floors. The house will comfortably accommodate a large group or an extended family. Magnolia House offers an open floor plan, which is flooded with natural light through the large picture windows and many skylights. Spacious, well-stocked kitchen with updated stainless refrigerator and stove makes cooking a pleasure. Sun yourself on one of three private decks overlooking the beautifully designed perennial gardens or enjoy the handcrafted stone fireplace on a cool evening. Lots of wood will be provided for you!

The separate media room offers quiet space for reading, relaxing, or family movie night with flatscreen and Netflix. House has several high-end Bluetooth stereos for streaming music on new and improved high-speed wifi. For extra guests, there is a full-size futon and a single pull out bed in addition to the bedrooms. Hopefully, you won't need it, but there is a large desk/office space on the second floor. Unlike many Monhegan properties, we are more than happy to consider pets.

Just past the Trailing Yew on Lobster Cove Road, Magnolia House is only minutes from Fish and Swim Beaches, galleries and the rest of the village in one direction and Lobster Cove in the other direction.

Bringing children? We have a fantastic wooden playhouse on the property (with a loft!) that kids love, plenty of toys, puzzles, games and Legos, beach chairs, books for all ages, and a perfect bedroom with bunk beds (and a pull-out trundle) on the second floor. For much of the summer, there are delicious wild raspberries blooming in the yard, and late summer/early fall you can find wild blackberries. These are not just for kids, of course...last week we made a batch of homemade raspberry ice cream using freshly-picked berries from the yard, and we encourage you to do the same!

Great location

The charming older home is perfectly situated on the island. It is spacious and accommodates a family easily. Our disappointment was a distinct mildew smell, especially in the side entry room where there is a TV/mud room. The house needs a deep clean and the basement has a damp and mildew smell- where the washing machine is located. The kitchen was stocked with cups, plates and had lots of pans.

Terrific house, comfortable, well equipped and cozy fireplace for chilly evenings (wood supplied). Accessible to local shops, eateries, and hiking trails. Enjoyed quiet evenings watching sunsets over Manana Island. We are returning in 2025-our 5th yr. staying in Magnolia House.

Beautiful House for the Whole Family

We traveled to Monhegan with our family (5 adults) for a four-day getaway to the island and were looking for a place that we could have our own space and a kitchen to cook in. We were super happy with the house, it was picturesque, with more than enough space for the five of us to all hang out together as have our own spaces when we needed it. The kitchen was lived in and had everything we needed and more to make family meals. It was very close to the brewery, as well as some of the trailheads to the east side of the island. It was the first time we'd been to the island in over twelve years, but knowing about the Magnolia house now, I'm sure it'll be sooner than that when we return!

Spectacular experience

The house was perfect for our family ( and dog) in location, size and accommodations. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with utensils, bake and cookware. We loved being able and eat together at the spacious dining table. There was plenty of space to do things as a group or with privacy. The upstairs master bedroom has its own private deck and views of the water. We enjoyed doing a puzzle and playing several of the dozens of games. Monhegan is a gem of an island. We brought most of our food and supplies but enjoyed lunch out at the brewery and baked goods from several shops. The hiking is amazing! Definitely hike the cliff trail. You’ll be in awe. Pebble beach and sea glass beach are favorites. Sunset at Lobster Cove (“ ship wreck beach”) is a must. We’ll definitely be going back!

Loved this home

The house on Monhegan was perfect for an extended family get together, with small children ranging from 6 months to 3. There are a wide range of toys appropriate for all ages, and a playhouse for the older children. The location is ideal and Elizabeth was responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend, and would certainly choose to stay here again in the future.

Perfect Family Getaway!

From first booking the property, Elizabeth was extremely prompt in answering all of our questions. The descriptions were all accurate and was the perfect spot for my husband and I, our 3 kids and my Dad and stepmom to stay on the island. It was close to town which was convenient, but it wasn't right in town which gave us more privacy. Nick the caretaker was great and checked in on us a couple of times throughout the week. There were so many games and puzzles that we always had something fun to do as a family. We had fun outside exploring, going swimming at the beach, or relaxing inside. The kid house outside on the property was magical for my kids. Highly recommend this location especially if you are bringing kids/family with you to the island. There was lots of room and tons to do! Will definitely be booking again!

Another great week staying at Magnolia House on Monhegan.

It's a comfortable, well-equipped house. We all enjoy sitting in the yard (especially Dexter, my daughter and son-in-law's dog). Very private and quiet but also near so many good places to eat and terrific shops. And on a cool evening, the fire place is a real treat.

Wonderful house for our stay on Monhegan. Plenty of room for us to spread out and relax. The views from the upper deck were beautiful. The kitchen was very well stocked too. This was nice because we cook a a group dinner every night when we rent a house. We loved the bookshelves- full of a great selection of titles. Hope to be able to rent this house again.

A great house and the perfect location

We really enjoyed the week. The house was wonderful-close to the shops, restaurants but also very private. We often ate on the back deck and our dog loved lying there in the sun. The front yard was also private due to the wonderful flowers but we had a lovely view of the water. We would definitely stay there again.

Magnolia has it ALL!

I'll preface my review by noting that we have stayed at six other homes on Monhegan throughout the years. Each of them have unique charm and varying amenities. Magnolia House should be at the top of your list if you have a family or large group. The house is super clean. The kitchen is top notch and loaded with pots, pans, knives, silverware, spices, etc. The rest of the house is roomy so everyone has privacy when needed. The fireplace was awesome for chilly nights and there was plenty of wood. The back deck offers a great place to chill in the shade and cook out on the grill. The front deck offers stunning sunset views. Wifi that works on an island!! Elizabeth was a joy to deal with and answered questions promptly. She truly cares about making your stay as pleasant as possible. Nick and Lauren (house caretakers) are very kind and are ready to help with anything you may need during your stay. We won't hesitate to stay at Magnolia House again!

We stayed at the Magnolia House on Monhegan And it was pure magic!

Magnolia house has everything you need as a family to live comfortably on Monhegan. The Balcony and master bedroom are amazing because of the sunsets over Manana Island. The house is large and worked beautifully to house kids and grandparents giving everyone enough room to themselves or to come together. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to cook for a large family There are enough games and toys you won’t need to bring your own! And the washer and dryer are a luxury that many renters don’t get when on the island, Magnolia House has it all! We will definitely be back!
