About this property

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 up to 8 guests and is perfect for families. 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.

The separate media room offers quiet space for reading, relaxing, or family movie night with flatscreen and Netflix. House has several Bluetooth stereos for streaming music on new and improved high-speed wifi. 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!

Questions, or prefer to book directly? Message me and I’ll send contact information.

NOTES: No laundry facilities provided, and guests should plan to bring linens and towels. Water resources on Monhegan are limited, and we ask that guests respectfully conserve as much as possible.

Guests are required to clean the house before check-out - it's difficult to arrange for cleaning services on the island, so we rely on you to make sure the house is in great condition before you head out.

Strict occupancy limit of 8.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Norman

Host profile image
I live in Boston, Massachusetts with my amazing daughter and our two pups (Bubbles and Taco). I've been in Boston since 2004 - I grew up in the southern U.S., but more recently I've lived in Brooklyn, Ann Arbor (Michigan), Pennsylvania, and England.

My late husband was a classically-trained woodworker and loved art of all kinds. He first discovered Monhegan through artist friends from college, and we visited often - we marveled at the incredible beauty of the island, the deep community of artists, and the feeling of stepping back in time.

Questions? Ask anytime! - Elizabeth (she/her)

Why they chose this property

If you love Monhegan, you will have a wonderful time no matter where you stay - the real attraction is the island itself.

Magnolia is a wonderful house for families or groups - there are open spaces for time together, but plenty of private rooms and nooks for rest and relaxation. Magnolia is fun inside & out - it's full of art (including local Monhegan artists!), games, books, puzzles, DVDs. Outside there are mature gardens that bloom in spring, summer, and fall - and in spring & fall, you can spot gorgeous birds (Monhegan is a migratory hotspot).

We want all guests to feel honored and respected. We are committed to diversity and inclusiveness, and we hope Magnolia is a warm and welcoming home-away-from-home for all visitors.

What makes this property unique

Magnolia is an amazing place to unwind and relax with family, friends and loved ones. Our home has an open, fun floor plan, perfect for gathering, with plenty of special nooks and crannies, including a library nook with tons of books for all interests. There is a special playhouse for kids and hammocks for all to enjoy in the nice weather. There is a lovely deck off the kitchen and dining area, and you can watch the birds as you relax. There is outdoor seating and a grill so you can make the most of your time. There is a new washing machine in the basement, and you can air-dry your laundry on the lines strung outside (there's also a laundromat nearby if you'd like).

Magnolia has fantastic views from the large picture window in the open living room downstairs, and the beautiful master bedroom with its sliding glass doors leading onto a deck with views of Manana Island and the ocean.

The house is full of art - we have pieces from local artists as well as artists and craftspeople all across the world!

We are also one of the few homes on the islands that welcomes dogs (well-behaved, please!).

Nick, the property caretaker is on-island (right next door) so any questions can be answered quickly.

You can book online with a credit card, or you can reach out with questions about booking directly or through other methods (check, Paypal, etc).
