Amazing Chilmark getaway!

Everything we needed, in a quiet refuge

A fine vacation property, thoughtfully equipped. Plenty of towels, bed linens, comforters, everything you could want for the kitchen, including a coffee grinder. Vacation books and games, good TV reception, internet was fine, toys for little ones, high chairs, beach balls, beach chairs, outside clothesline, plenty of parking. Washer and dryer in the basement. It is located about a half-mile down a single-lane dirt road, nestled in a wooded area of similar houses. We were a senior, sibling-related group of four adults, so we had room to spare in the house. We didn't make much use of the deck and yard as we were on the go around the island, enjoying the sights and tastes easily accessed by car from the property, and our city relatives are afraid of mosquitoes. But if we'd had kids with us they would have had plenty of safe space for running around freely. Easily-remedied safety details that could use attention: bedroom smoke detectors had been removed; at the top of the stairs, because the first step is unusual in design, visitors could miss it visually--an additional railing and/or tape marking that step could avert possible vacation disaster. A perfectionist would note a few details that would bring the experience to five stars: replace torn window screens, wash the windows for the best outside views, supply facecloths. But the pros far outpace the cons: altogether, a very nice, well-located vacation house.

Mitch's proposal to Colleen

This was in a great location and was a wonderful home. The house was neat and clean and provided all the amenities required for a pleasurable stay. My son Mitch surprised his girlfriend Colleen by proposing to her on the beach below Aquinnah Cliffs. She was so happy to have the whole family at the house after to celebrate with. We all loved it and the dogs were so happy to have room to roam the yard. Thanks great place highly recommend it.

Amazing week in Chilmark

Samantha's house in Chilmark was another great week for us. Our family had a wonderful time there. The privacy of the home, the proximity to the best beaches on the island, and the conveniences it provides are unmatched. Thanks again for providing such a great way for us to enjoy our time on Martha's Vineyard!

The house was as-advertised and comfortably accommodated my adult relatives in its four bedrooms. Everything worked. The house was clean with no surprises. Samantha was friendly and helpful when we talked with her. The VRBO app needs improvement, but the house was fine.

Sweet, relaxing house on a quiet road

Samantha's house is a clean, comfortable cute house on quiet road in the woods. Adirondack chairs were lovely to relax in for morning coffee. The house was perfect for our annual family trip to Chilmark. Great location ... perfect launching pad to explore upisland. West Tisbury: Alley's, Field Gallery, Saturday and Wednesday Farmers Markets; Middle Road (magical, winding country road with stone walls and beautiful vistas running between W. Tisbury and Chilmark. Quintessential upland. Amazing to bike if you like hills!) Manuel Correllus state park with its mostly flat bike path (great for kids!), Lucy Vincent beach, Menemsha, Lobsterville and Aquinnah are all easily accessible. Upisland Cronigs, the local grocery store has almost everything you could need and is just a few minutes away by car. Everything was as described in the listing, and Samantha was wonderfully communicative. Thanks, Samantha for allowing us the opportunity to visit your home!

Memorable experience in Chillmark

This is our second year in a row staying at Samantha’s fantastic property in Chillmark. It’s the best spot on MV to explore from. The home itself is well laid out, is super quiet and has no neighbors nearby, allowing for a very relaxing experience. Samantha is super responsive to any questions that need to be addressed. We’ll be returning again to this property once again in the future, for sure.

Charming property and family friendly

Property is private and charming. Very family friendly with twin beds, some play beach toys, games, highchair (we did not use but saw it!), and great outdoor space for kids to run around. The outdoor shower, a staple of the vineyard, was awesome and we never used an indoor one. With help from the owner we secured a Lucy Vincent beach pass for the week which was great. We also have friends with access to the Blackpoint (private) directly at the end of the road which made twice daily beach trips a breeze. Really great place for a family with small kids but maybe less spacious/comfortable for an adult family. Thanks for an amazing stay - we needed one as we have not been on a vacation over 2 years!

About the host

Hosted by Samantha

Host profile image
I am a 3rd generation islander. My grandfather, father and my younger brother were/are commercial fishermen in Menemsha. I always dreamed of having property of my own here. I love the quiet escape and laidback nature of Chilmark, the resident only beaches and the miles of conservation land and trails for exploring. I think this is the perfect location for relaxing, slowing down and enjoying the natural beauty of the island.

Why they chose this property

My home is comfortable, modest, peaceful, and clean. It's located down a long dirt road, on a private wooded lot which is a nice escape from the city. We are close to some of the best private beaches on the island! This is the perfect place to get away from it all and relax. Be warned that cell service is spotty and our internet (xfinity) can be tempermental but we're improving it each year as the company/road association allows.

What makes this property unique

Chilmark Beaches! Wooded 3 acre lot down a dirt road. Close to tons of hiking trails, the private town beaches and great restaurants. The fishing village of Menemsha is just a few minutes away and has some of the best local fresh caught fish and the most amazing sunsets.
