Beautiful home with stunning views. Gorgeous artwork very welcoming vibe plenty of room for everyone. We appreciated all the percussion instruments at the house and enjoyed playing music. Perfect set up for our three couples vacationing together. Absolutely love fall on Martha’s Vineyard. Maryanne, the hostess was super helpful and responsive and we couldn’t get over how well-equipped the house was. Thank you so much for a beautiful vacation.

We had a magical time! We’re a family of six and each had our own space plus lots of communal time. You can feel the love and memories in the house. It is very well situated and we took advantage of all of it-tennis, beautiful private beach, hiking trails, the canoe, etc. we also comfortably hosted my brother and his wife for three nights. We hope to go back soon!

The house feels like a home - filled with personality, warmth, and comfort. Many cozy places to be - inside and out. Soft bedding and towels, good mattresses, a well stocked kitchen, and everything you might need for a beach vacation. Maryann is a very gracious host and we felt grateful to be there.

My family and friends had a great weekend stay as we visited the island for a friend’s wedding very close by at the Allen Farm. The house was beautiful, very clean and set in a quiet, private location. We loved our long walk on the gorgeous beach just minutes from the house. My daughter’s two dogs enjoyed it as much as we did. We definitely would come back.

Magical spot!

We loved Maryann's house. It is located in the south west part of the island near Menemsha and Gay Head. It was perfect for us since our plan was to hang out (plenty of space) and have a memorial by the cliffs. The description of the house matches de pictures. The rooms were very comfortable and there was plenty of space to hang out. We loved sitting in the porch, watching the birds (including wild turkeys!) and listening to the ocean. Very peaceful. The kitchen was well equipped and it was very easy to find anything needed. We highly recommend the experience!

Up Island Gem with Access to Beautiful Private Beach!

The home was perfect for our large group of 7 adults and 7 children. We had plenty of space to sprawl out, both indoors and out. All of the beds were comfortable and the large living area was the perfect space to lounge and play games after days in the beach. The property is secluded so we had no worries with our little ones in and out of the home exploring the grounds. They especially loved the daily visitors, deer and turkeys! The private neighborhood beach was absolutely gorgeous. It is a bit of a process getting there with small children and all their belongings, but completely worth it. Would be a breeze with just adults. Waves were a bit much for the kids one day but glad we went back to check it out later in the week. You need a vehicle given that the home is up island. But it’s fairly central, taking about 25 minutes to get to the major towns (OB, VH and Edgartown). Could be a bit far for those that want to be able to pop in and out of town but great for those that don’t mind being off the beaten path. All bedrooms (aside from the primary bedroom) have AC and were nice and cool for sleeping. The property is very “homey” decorated with funky art, lots of games, instruments, etc. making it feel lived in vs a sterile rental. Maryann answered all my questions prior to booking. Plan to return next summer and take advantage of that fabulous beach more next time!

What an awesome house. Beautiful outside garden. I wish we had more time to spend outside. We had a relaxing breakfast in the garden and awesome star gazing at night. I forgot there was an outdoor shower. What a treat. Overall, the house is comfortable and has a lot to offer. We really needed a week to enjoy the house and surroundings. We hope to return someday. Thanks for sharing your home.

A slice of heaven! We had a large family group from Age 1 , my granddaughter , to age 75 me and it was a fabulous time. Kitchen was small but serviceable, everything else was spacious, cabinet, and great for my 75th birthday party. Most of us were from Minneapolis, and we had beach towels, regular towels, beach umbrella, crib, high chair, a garden you could pick ripe veggies, books, toys, musical instruments, including bingos and drum set, A private beach which is an adventure. Perfect for large group and all ages! Thank you. The owner fixed our request, the outdoor shower hadn’t been turned on, and she sent someone out to get it on. Perfect!

Wedding weekend accommodations

We needed a place to accommodate a few needs:1) enough beds/bedrooms for 9 adults (2 families 5+4) and bathrooms too. [With sheets, bath towels and extra toiletries if needed.] 2) close proximity to wedding venue. [Within 5 miles] 3) cooking/kitchen amenities. This home fulfilled them all and then some extras! Great livingroom/dining area, with sliding door leading to deck/patio, separate TV room, ping pong table, board games, bluetooth speakers, art supplies-drawing paper, pencils, pastels, paint. 4) access to walking paths and beach access. Highly recommend stayong here and would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a Fabulous place(home away from home) to get together with famy from long distances (Texas, Maryland, North Carolina, New York and Connecticut!) Precious (priceless) memories made!!!!!😍💖

Wonderful stay

We went for our dear friends family wedding and the house was very accommodating and gracious. Our two little ones also felt at home because there were games for them to play. Clearly the host seems like a creative and fun person. A pleasure to be in this space.

Fabulous Private Location

We very much enjoyed our stay at the house in April 2021. The house was spacious and very private. Our kids loved the birdfeeder and the chickadees and turkeys that frequented it all day long. We enjoyed the outdoor ping pong table, walking to the Abels Hill Beach (though we got very muddy at the pond!), going to Lucy Vincent Beach, and the nearby tennis courts. We also explored other parts of the island. We had never traveled to the Vineyard for more than a day trip and we very much enjoyed what the island had to offer during the spring. Thank you for sharing your property!

Peaceful getaway in a creative home

We spent a long weekend at Finch Meadow and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The location was beautiful; we loved watching birds swoop in from over the meadow to the bird feeders and walking down to the beach at sunset. House was much bigger than the pictures show. Comfy beds a nice plus! One thing that could be a plus or a minus depending on your expectations is that it feels as if the owners just left--many personal belongings out, fridge full of food. It felt more like we were housesitting for friends while they were away. Overall, a lovely stay.

Great, quiet place

The house is a perfect getaway located on a quiet piece of property. Not far from anything but also far enough away that you can enjoy the feel of being tucked away.
