this house in Aquinnah was a perfect getaway from the hectic pace of life. Took a hot steam in the cute sauna, then went for a moonlight walk on the beach, the sounds of the crickets and waves are so soothing.
Love the room with the bathtub, pull back the curtains and you have a bath with a view of the ocean, so sweet. The other 2 rooms upstairs also have nice balconies with ocean views, and 2 have views of the lighthouse also, one room has a big framed bed and a twin bed, nice chaise lounge in one room. The cabin on the side of house was perfect for our teen, with a separate door that opens to give an ocean view. The downstairs was lovely with fireplace in the sitting room and porch swing on the backyard area. The sauna is in a little room off this area. The hot tub was perfect for 4 to sit and star gaze, so many stars here! The beach is a 5 min walk through a wooded path. You can walk up to the end of the road where there are some lunch spots, a few have dinner depending on the season, also gorgeous views from there. Do plan on food, as most other towns are about 20-30 minutes drive, so we brought groceries & wine with us and went out a few nights as well. Elise is great, having spent over 30 years here she knew everything about everything, great recommendation on Polly Hill arboretum & the farmers market. We will be back!
