Perfect for family vacation!

My husband and I recently returned from a lovely week vacation in your house. The location was perfect -- close enough to places for food and services, yet away from busy traffic, making it secluded and quiet. With the beach only a third of a mile walk along a graveled road, access was easy. We walked there with our dog several times each day. The accommodations were clean and very comfortable, with ample space and beds for our two adult daughters and their spouses. The kitchen was well stocked with all the cookware and dishes needed to prepare and eat home-cooked meals, allowing us plenty of time for sharing, socializing and enjoying each other's company.

Very comfortable home for large family

We enjoyed our stay very much. My whole family of ten came together to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. The home was large enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. It had a well appointed kitchen, large table in a lovely screened in porch, and a large yard for kids and dogs to run around in. The beach was a short walk, but also had a small parking lot where my parents could drive to it. Everything was clean and comfortable. Would recommend! *One note about the island is that the roads in the neighborhoods are unpaved and narrow! Follow your GPS and you'll be fine.

Magical Makonikey Holiday

My family converged for our summer holiday at this beautiful home and we left refreshed, invigorated and in love with Martha’s Vineyard. The home had plenty of room for several young adults to have solitude to common areas for meeting for delicious meals on the screened porch or playing lawn games or board games. The private beach was lovely for quietude but we had easy access to explore the island. We have several artists among us and the setting was inspiring from the natural beauty to the family artwork. The host and owner were extremely helpful about getting to the Vineyard and suggestions for restaurants and things to do besides the beach. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The washer and dryer came in handy. The hammock got a lot of use as did the outdoor shower. We look forward to returning to this light filled aesthetically pleasing home.

wonderful stay

I have stayed on Martha's Vineyard many times and have always preferred this area because it's close to our favorite beach but this house is literally minutes from the beach! The grounds are so gorgeous and well maintained that staying home was also delightful. The house was clean, spacious, nicely furnished, and with many amenities other rentals do not have. The owner was available by phone to answer any questions that arose and the manager promptly delivered extra beach chairs to replace broken ones. We have reserved our week for the coming year and hope to stay longer in the future. Great property!

Great vacation for our large group.

I absolutely loved this large old home and its location. We had people coming and going and even on the 3 nights we had 10 people and 2 dogs, there was plenty of space to gather together. Almost every night was spent either in playing a board game in the 3 season porch or the large living room. It was a bit warm during our stay but each room had at least 2 fans going so we kept the air moving. We also loved having 2 beaches to choose from. The neighborhood beach was great for our dogs, paddle boarding or short stays. Lambert's cove beach was BEAUTIFUL but took a bit more to get there as we only had one sticker so had to take multiple trips to get people back and forth - but it was worth it.

Heaven on Earth

What a discovery! This West Tisbury Vineyard retreat is pure magic – a short walk to a heavenly private beach on the Vineyard Sound. Words fall short of describing the mesmerizing views (and the SUNSET)!!! The home is tucked away, yet perfectly situated to explore all corners of the Vineyard, the house exudes timeless Vineyard charm, tailor-made for family/friends relaxation and fun. Spanning three levels, sunlight pours through expansive windows, creating a warm ambiance. The adults spent hours reading and relaxing on the wrap around deck and the hammock and our children stepped away from the electronic devices to enjoy the spacious lawn (still brings me joy)! The screened in porch/dining area was a family’s favorite gathering spot, where we shared unforgettable moments. I can’t forget the property manager, Annette, and the owner, Matthew! Their responsiveness and guidance from the time of booking until our departure was top-notch. They were willing to answer questions about the home, the area and guided me on ferry transfers (very important to book early). I made a little snafu with the keys (totally my fault) at the end of our stay and Matthew was so understanding and patient. They were awesome! The home is conveniently located to the other areas of the island - just a short drive (or rideshare) away. We’re already mapping out our return! This home truly is a slice of heaven on earth – don't miss out!

Not Great

This is by no means suppose to be a , “beware” type post because being from MA, I know places like this and cape cod thrive on 3-4 month tourist seasons but proceed with caution. Communication, location and the exterior of this property is beautiful. Unfortunately, the interior was a wreck. The first thing is bugs, more specifically roaches. Owner and property manager knew there was an issue with roaches (they called them wood roaches, we have photos). We found sprays and traps for roaches inside the house and property manager did say they have an exterminator but there is clearly some infestation happening. By the 3rd day, the roaches were out in the open, in every room and instead of enjoying our last day together, we spent it checking and cleaning our personal belongings. About half of our party had roaches in our luggage and one family member found one in their stuff on the way home. Owner and PM were notified and apologies were given but it felt like an excuse was given at every step. Almost to the point of feeling like we had something to do with it. We were at the property during very muggy and hot days/nights and you could tell that the house suffered during these days/nights. Everything inside was damp and if we were sweating while sitting around, others had too. Mold in certain spots of the house (next to stairs) which we were told wasn’t there a week ago (impossible) and screens to windows and doors were either not the right size or had holes

Great stay in August

Property is really cute, and hosts are incredibly responsive. House was as pictured, with lots of space for everyone. We really enjoy falling to the nearby beaches, was a big highlight! No AC was tough on three of our seven nights, but there was a record heatwave at the time. The rest of the week it wasn’t an issue, in fact we got blankets out at night as it was chilly.

Good group house in awesome location with a few drawbacks

House is good for large groups/families and in a beautiful and convenient location. Lambert's Cove beach down the road is gorgeous, and it was easy to get to a lot of nearby towns/attractions. Communication with the property manager (before arrival) and owner (after arrival) was great -- both were very responsive and helpful. House is nicer than in looks in pictures! A few drawbacks/things to be aware of: (1) The mattresses are really old and most were not very comfortable . (2) The rooms do not have room darkening blinds, and some of the rooms have no blinds or curtains at all, so it's very bright at 5 AM. Bring an eyeshade! (3) The kitchen is not well equipped -- knives were extremely dull. Maybe not the best if you plan to do a lot of cooking. (4) The private beach referred to in the listing is blocked by a knocked down tree and an overgrown path full of poison ivy... much nicer to hop in the car and drive 5 minutes to Lambert's Cove.

Best of MV

Lovely, sunny summer home with lots of whimsy and character — from originals artwork to vintage artifacts throughout the house. The three porches — a spacious wraparound, second floor bedroom and screened in dining terrace — are wonderful. Beautiful garden with iron sculptures makes this an art lovers ideal place. Also 5 minutes drive from Lambert’s Cove beach. Owner was kind, accessible and helped us quickly troubleshoot an initial issue with the hot water.

Attractive, roomy, well laid out, and enjoyable

The whole house is attractively decorated and warm with no sense of clutter. The four main bedrooms are roomy and get lots of light, two have nice balconies. The location is more than half a mile down a dirt road, but we liked that because it gave us a sense of privacy and got us very close to the beach. The kitchen is a bit small but well-equipped. The screened in porch/dining area is fabulous. Cool breezes waft through in the evening - it feels like you are outside but no bugs! Being directly off the kitchen makes its location ideal. The local beach is just a six minute walk (literally) and it was never crowded. The owner Matt was helpful and responsive - he brought over two extra fans we requested the same day. The only shortfall (if it matters to you) is the flat-screen TV in the living room is quite small by current standards and not well located in the living room. All-in-all a great place!
