Our stay was amazing. The house was clean and organized upon check in. The multiple mini split A/C units made the house very comfortable in the summer heat. The screened porch easily fit our party of 9 adults. The interior design was enjoyable with lots of character. The art and photos displayed throughout the house added a personal touch. They connected the long history of the family’s ownership. The hammock was great to relax in when there was some down time. The owner Matthew was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The house seemed very secluded even though we knew there were other houses close by.

Beautiful house; great location

The house is beautiful with lots of light in the living room and great outdoor space. It's a very short walk to the beach and close to the amenities of Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs. The owner/manager communicated well and was very accommodating and eager to help us have a good time.

Wonderful property, especially if you have dogs that enjoy the water. The short walk to the private beach became our twice daily ritual. The house had plenty of room for our party of eight, and it was a great location to explore Lambert’s cove and the nearby towns.

The home was as listed. It was clean and we found the kitchen well equipped. The owner responded immediately when I contacted him about one of the beds not being made. The beach is a walk, not out front of home which I think was not clear. Overall, We had a great stay.

We had a wonderful week in this beautiful house!! It is incredibly charming and even better than the pictures. The living room was perfect for our family of 7. The windows and natural light were so great. Every bedroom was more charming than the next and we all slept great. The sun room was perfect for cribbage and eating. Maybe best of all, the huge yard allowed hours of fun for our kids - so much wiffle ball and swinging in the hammock. We enjoyed being off the main road while still being close to town. I look forward to staying here again someday!

Perfect for family vacation!

My husband and I recently returned from a lovely week vacation in your house. The location was perfect -- close enough to places for food and services, yet away from busy traffic, making it secluded and quiet. With the beach only a third of a mile walk along a graveled road, access was easy. We walked there with our dog several times each day. The accommodations were clean and very comfortable, with ample space and beds for our two adult daughters and their spouses. The kitchen was well stocked with all the cookware and dishes needed to prepare and eat home-cooked meals, allowing us plenty of time for sharing, socializing and enjoying each other's company.

wonderful stay

I have stayed on Martha's Vineyard many times and have always preferred this area because it's close to our favorite beach but this house is literally minutes from the beach! The grounds are so gorgeous and well maintained that staying home was also delightful. The house was clean, spacious, nicely furnished, and with many amenities other rentals do not have. The owner was available by phone to answer any questions that arose and the manager promptly delivered extra beach chairs to replace broken ones. We have reserved our week for the coming year and hope to stay longer in the future. Great property!

Very comfortable home for large family

We enjoyed our stay very much. My whole family of ten came together to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. The home was large enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. It had a well appointed kitchen, large table in a lovely screened in porch, and a large yard for kids and dogs to run around in. The beach was a short walk, but also had a small parking lot where my parents could drive to it. Everything was clean and comfortable. Would recommend! *One note about the island is that the roads in the neighborhoods are unpaved and narrow! Follow your GPS and you'll be fine.

Great vacation for our large group.

I absolutely loved this large old home and its location. We had people coming and going and even on the 3 nights we had 10 people and 2 dogs, there was plenty of space to gather together. Almost every night was spent either in playing a board game in the 3 season porch or the large living room. It was a bit warm during our stay but each room had at least 2 fans going so we kept the air moving. We also loved having 2 beaches to choose from. The neighborhood beach was great for our dogs, paddle boarding or short stays. Lambert's cove beach was BEAUTIFUL but took a bit more to get there as we only had one sticker so had to take multiple trips to get people back and forth - but it was worth it.

Magical Makonikey Holiday

My family converged for our summer holiday at this beautiful home and we left refreshed, invigorated and in love with Martha’s Vineyard. The home had plenty of room for several young adults to have solitude to common areas for meeting for delicious meals on the screened porch or playing lawn games or board games. The private beach was lovely for quietude but we had easy access to explore the island. We have several artists among us and the setting was inspiring from the natural beauty to the family artwork. The host and owner were extremely helpful about getting to the Vineyard and suggestions for restaurants and things to do besides the beach. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The washer and dryer came in handy. The hammock got a lot of use as did the outdoor shower. We look forward to returning to this light filled aesthetically pleasing home.

Heaven on Earth

What a discovery! This West Tisbury Vineyard retreat is pure magic – a short walk to a heavenly private beach on the Vineyard Sound. Words fall short of describing the mesmerizing views (and the SUNSET)!!! The home is tucked away, yet perfectly situated to explore all corners of the Vineyard, the house exudes timeless Vineyard charm, tailor-made for family/friends relaxation and fun. Spanning three levels, sunlight pours through expansive windows, creating a warm ambiance. The adults spent hours reading and relaxing on the wrap around deck and the hammock and our children stepped away from the electronic devices to enjoy the spacious lawn (still brings me joy)! The screened in porch/dining area was a family’s favorite gathering spot, where we shared unforgettable moments. I can’t forget the property manager, Annette, and the owner, Matthew! Their responsiveness and guidance from the time of booking until our departure was top-notch. They were willing to answer questions about the home, the area and guided me on ferry transfers (very important to book early). I made a little snafu with the keys (totally my fault) at the end of our stay and Matthew was so understanding and patient. They were awesome! The home is conveniently located to the other areas of the island - just a short drive (or rideshare) away. We’re already mapping out our return! This home truly is a slice of heaven on earth – don't miss out!
