About this property
Aquinnah Beachfront, Perfect Sunsets, Private Beach
*NOTE* We Just opened the calendar for the month of August! These weeks will go quickly. This is a very rare opportunity so don’t wait to inquire. This exquisite and secluded waterfront property on 4.5 acres is minutes from the historic Gay Head cliffs and lighthouse and features a private path to a quiet beach. The house is spacious and modern, with 4 bedrooms opening onto large decks overlooking the water with a full view of the Elizabeth Islands, Vineyard Sound and spectacular sunsets, and a fifth bedroom with one full bed. You may decide to spend most of your time lounging on the comfortable outdoor furniture on the deck, drinking a glass of wine (or your preferred drink) and watching the sun set into the water.
The large kitchen is fully equipped and the dining area comfortably seats 12. The house is close to the beautiful Philbin Beach and the unique clay cliffs, and to Menemsha Pond, which is ideal for clamming, sailing, and is safe for toddlers and small children who delight in exploring its warm shallow water.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Judy Weiss

Why they chose this property
After spending their honeymoon on Martha's Vineyard in 1956 and falling in love with the island (in addition to each other), my parents rented various homes in Chilmark for many years. In 1968, they bought land in Aquinnah (known as Gay Head back then) and built the house. It has been renovated and updated a number of times since then, and is a very special place.
What makes this property unique
There is nothing better than sitting on the deck in the early evening, watching the sun set over the water - especially after a day at the beach, a bike ride to Menemsha via the bike ferry, a walk around the cliffs to the ocean side, or a trip to town. It could not be more relaxing and rejuvenating.
