Summer Street MV - where the spirit of summer lives

Vineyard Haven is one of the largest towns in Martha’s Vineyard, where you can enjoy hotspots like The Black Dog, The Net Result, the Capawock Theatre, and other shopping and eating destinations. We invite you to enjoy our family home, located on a quiet, pretty residential street, is only a brief walk from downtown, the Steamship Authority, and the local Owen Park Beach.

2023 update: new sustainable central air conditioning and heating mini split system.

Vaulted ceilings greet you as you enter the living room, which is illuminated by skylights and stained glass windows rescued from a local whaling church. The fieldstone fireplace will keep you warm on cold evenings in the shoulder seasons. This bright and airy house is a space made for recharging and finding inspiration for creative pursuits.

There is a great tradition of culinary arts in this house. Built by one of the Island’s well-known chefs, our family has embraced this legacy over the last 25 years that we have lived on Martha’s Vineyard. We welcome you to expand upon this tradition during your visit. The kitchen features a 6-burner commercial stove, new refrigerator, and convection oven. We have stocked the kitchen with a French press and coffee maker, and a full selection of cooking vessels and tools so that you can cook your own breakfasts, local seafood, or whatever else catches your fancy. Consider hiring one of our recommended local chefs to cook for you one night in the house as a special treat.

The eating nook seats 6 and receives morning light and cool cross breezes in the summer. Sections of the floors throughout the house are made from old slate roof tiles, including some laid out in the shape of a fish (or the Island depending on how you look at it) on the kitchen floor.

Two bedrooms are available now, including a spacious upstairs bedroom and a bright bedroom downstairs. Queen bed upstairs and 2 twin beds downstairs, so the house sleeps up to 4 people. The upstairs bedroom has a desk for working comfortably from home.

Exit the back door to an intimate shaded patio with a table and benches, and an outdoor shower privately located around the corner in the wooded backyard. The yard is large enough to play frisbee or lounge around! Keep watch for the fireflies in the summer time.
