Wonderful home in Chilmark

The house was clean, comfortable, well-equipped and spacious. My girlfriend, three adult daughters and I stayed there for four nights in July 2025 and had a great time. We made coffee and breakfast there every day, and hosted a BBQ with five other people one evening, and the range and grill all worked well. The beds and bathrooms were perfect. All in all, a fantastic place to spend a Martha's Vineyard summer!

Artful and inviting

Wonderful stay that included children 7 and 10. House - a mid century light filled one level - was truly fully equipped ( games for kids, every cooking utensil) and artfully decorated. Pool was a great plus and the best beaches are nearby - the owner was very responsive and helpful.

Excellent house, well-appointed, great location

The house is spacious and very well-appointed. Perfect for a family vacation. The pool, even though only 4 feet deep, really made a big difference, especially for the grandkids. Nearby beaches were lovely. Chilmark is the best part of the Vineyard. Harriet was charming and available for any needs we might have which were minimal.

Feels Like Home

What a great house. In fact, after a week here it felt like my own home. My kids absolutely loved the pool, spending hours in there playing with the beach ball. Beautiful mahogany deck. Nice hiking right out the door. There are 3 bathrooms, which is very helpful when getting ready for dinner or returning from the beach. Which reminds me, Lucy Vincent Beach is stunning!

Chilmark family vacation

We loved the house and especially the back yard- pool…My grandkids never wanted to get out!!The owner Harriet, is very nice and answered all questions right away. Very accommodating. One tip which renters with little children should be aware of: no window shades on any of the windows! So if your littles need darkness to sleep, bring a supply of stick on window coverings. That worked out great for us. Enjoy!

Perfect location if you are looking to be on the quieter side of the island and having a pool to swim in is a real treat if the ocean water is a bit too cold. Owner is also very nice, lives on the island, and is attentive if you have any needs.

Beautiful home, fantastic location, terrific VRBO owner

We had a wonderful short get away in Martha's vineyard and owe it all to this wonderful VRBO home. The house is SPOTLESS, the furnishings incredibly comfortable (so important given bad back issues), and the location perfect. Lots of great hiking trails a few steps from the home, which is in the midst of beautiful wooded areas. Beautiful beaches are a short driving distance away. And the VRBO owner is incredibly responsive and very helpful with tips on where to go. We look forward to being able to stay here again.

An airy getaway with plenty of distant ocean breezes to sooth the soul on a hot day. The pool, though not deep, was a delight, and the master bedroom and living room were especially spacious. A central perch for visiting anywhere on the island.

Secluded Retreat

This was a wonderful property with pool, nice layout, and private seclusion; it was perfect for our family and friends. Upon arrival we met the owner who was lovely. We needed her help one time during our stay. She was prompt with her response and fixed the issue. The house was clean and well maintained. We used the kitchen for almost every meal and it was well equipped for a family to use. We would definitely go back!

Gorgeous house, secluded setting

I am a dance artist who stayed here during a residency at The Yard. The house is immaculate and the owner has beautiful taste in furnishings. The kitchen has everything you need. How wonderful to have a pool to plunge in after a day at the nearby beach! The property is quiet and far from the road, so nights are peaceful and you wake up to bird song and the wind rustling the trees. There are plenty of amenities nearby but you get peace and quiet here.

Magical Stay in Tranquility

This property really impressed me! My group was looking for a spacious house with a pool and this property delivered. The overall house layout is great for entertaining with two separate wings for the bedrooms. The kitchen is a wonderful hangout area inside due to all the windows - it feels like you are still outside. The pool area and yard were fantastic, offering constant sunlight through the day and more than enough area to sun by the pool, play games, etc. The best part of it....you feel like you are doing it all on the island alone because the property is so secluded!. Also the property was very clean when we arrived. Harriet, the owner, was so easy to deal with and did not bother us at all once on the island. She does live close by if there are any problems, but lets her guest enjoy their time alone. She was very easy on the details of the rental and provided a clear contract for rent. We felt compelled to invite her over because she was so gracious!

Perfect relaxing base to enjoy the best of Up Island!

This house provided us the best retreat during the Vineyard's busy season with great access to Lucy Vincent Beach, Allie's Store, Menemsha and Aquinnah. This a the most beautiful part of the island and Harriet's house is in a quiet natural setting apart from the crowds. The layout of the house is great for families and shares with bedrooms spread around the perimeter of the house and a bright kitchen and comfortable living room in the center. The deck and pool are great bonuses on those days you just don't want to get in the car to head to the beach but still want to enjoy the summer weather.

Chillmark bliss

My husband and I stayed here Sept 1-8, 2015. It was an incredibly relaxing and lovely stay. The house is secluded on a quite road but easily accessible at the same time. I loved going for a long walsk on the local nature trails nearby. We also are huge beach goers, so to be so close to Lucy Vincent was a plus. The house has a wonderful lay out with incredible light in the kitchen and porch area for meals. Also the living room has a great place for a daytime nap along the bay window. The kitchen was easy to use and quite clean. The master bedroom was spacious with tons of windows which made it wonderful for sleeping. Also it had good storage and its own bathroom. The pool is a lovely option for a quick dip in the morning or at night before bedtime beneath a huge starry sky. Chillmark is a magical place and its great because there are very few people around! I highly recommend this rental!

Charming Chilmark Getaway

My fiancé and I stayed at this lovely home for a week. It was the perfect romantic getaway....secluded, comfortable, and well appointed. The private pool, where we could indulge ourselves whenever the mood struck, added to the ambience; and a beach pass to the famed Lucy Vincent Beach made our stay even more perfect. Chilmark is a beautiful town with rolling green hills and farmland defined by stone walls, and of course, the ocean....very reminiscent of Ireland. It's natural beauty begs to be explored and Harriet, the owner, is more than willing to give amazing recommendations and point you in the right direction. She is the quintessential host! We are planning to make this fabulous home our regular summer getaway.

Dreamy Private Getaway Up Island

This house is the perfect hybrid between elegant country retreat and relaxed beach house. Hidden in the trees of a private community off the beaten path, it is secluded and quiet. Still, we loved hearing the lull of the ocean from the deck and were close enough to area attractions we wanted to see. The house itself is modern, clean and very comfortable. I slept in the master bedroom and that king sized bed was so comfortable. I made relaxed casual meals all weekend long in the kitchen, and we were close enough to towns to experience some real new england lobsters in Menemsha at Larsens and scoop up tasty scones and coffee at 7A. Lots of great natural places to explore nearby. We found some private hiking trails and went out to explore Lucy Vincent and the Aquinna Bluffs. Harriet was a fabulous hostess, with many awesome recommendations and unbelievably warm hospitality. We are already plotting our return next visit. We just found our new home at the beach, and we couldn't be more pleased.

Chilmark Charmer

We spent a week with 6 adults and a toddler. The home is a quintessential "up island" spot with charm, grace and beauty. The home is very large and spacious with nearly solarium light in each room. It was easy to relax in its airy and tastefully decorated rooms. The living room was large enough for all of us to enjoy conversation, and the kitchen also accommodated our group nicely. There is a lovely laundry room that doubles as a good space to keep coolers for the beach. The bathrooms are all clean and updated and there is also a nice outdoor shower. It was no issue obtaining a beach pass for Lucy Vincent for the week for approx $100 and it's worth it! You are also so close to Menemsha and the Beach Plum Inn - such a good location. We also found that Edgartown is a straight shot with barely any traffic from this house and enjoyed a few nights there too. Highly recommend this home for a large group and can attest that it is the nicest house we have ever rented on the island. (We have been renting each July for 20+ years)
Response from VrboOwner on 25 March 2020
Yes, the house suits a large family well, doesn't it? It puts everyone in a good mood.
