It was our first time staying in Aquinnah and we really enjoyed this part of the island. This is a beautiful property with stunning views. My family enjoyed the outdoor space as much as the indoor.

While the house is cozy and has rustic charm, the big attraction here is the setting and the roof deck which has amazing views of the ocean and sunsets.

Piece of paradise

My sister and I spent five days with my parents in this cottage in early October and we loved every minute of it. The views are just breathtaking, and the living/dining room with the fireplace was our favorite spot. It’s a short drive or 20 minute walk to the lighthouse, and at most a 40 minute drive to get to pretty much any other place on the island. We loved the seclusion and being away from everything.

Annual family reunion

This was our second year staying at the property and the experience was just as great as the first time. The three grandchildren (ages 12, 6, 3) had plenty of running around room on the beautiful lawn as adults watched from the deck. On the occasional rainy day they were inside playing games or working on craft projects on the long dining table. I would highly recommend staying at this property - Thank you again Colin for a memorable time for our family!

Comfortable house with outstanding decks and views!

This house has everything you need and then some. The outdoor shower is perfect, the kitchen is well equipped, and the views from inside and out are amazing. The lower deck with its long oval teak table and umbrella with ocean view and birdsong is perfect for outdoor meals. The upper deck is ideal for yoga and meditation. One cool day we discovered the house's backgammon board, a puzzle, and Bird Bingo. A bonus is the Aquinnah beach parking pass for Moshup and Lobsterville. We'll book again for next summer! Colin, the owner, was very quick to answer my questions, too.

Aquinaah is awesome!!!

Property was as described and the vacation was as prescribed. The home is perfectly secluded on a large (2 acres ??) lot. Views of the sunsets and lighthouse were very nice. The home is humble but comfortable. We did not use the kitchen outside of making coffee but seemed to have what we needed. We didn’t turn on the tv but enjoyed the fireplace. We found spots to read and relax throughout the home. Our pup loved running around the huge property. The neighbor’s collie came by each morning to check on us. A really low key spot to just hang out and enjoy. And we did.

Beautiful and charming home in a great Aquinnah location. Colin was a wonderful host—responsive and communicative throughout our stay. The house was cozy and generally well-kept, though, for a late season stay, it’s primarily heated by a fireplace, which can be a bit tricky to keep going overnight. Convenient if you’re staying in Aquinnah, about a 35-minute drive to Edgartown.

Its quiet simplicity let's you enjoy your incredible surroundings and be free of 'modern' distractions. Colin is a great host and communicator. 5 stars all around!

Just what my wife and I needed. Peace and quiet with beautiful views of the ocean and sunsets.Tucked in the woods on a nice high hill, the rooftop deck had about 180 degrees of ocean views.The property owner, Colin was extremely quick with responses to any questions, before and during our stay.Will definitely go back to this property.Thank you for a great stay.

No HEAT - off-season renters be aware

If you are staying off-season - there is NO HEAT!! It was 40°F at night and we had a 1 yr old… deceiving write-up did not mention no heat, yet they are renting in October in MA, and did have a high level of details like provides toilet paper and paper towels!! House seems like it would be great during summer… but we could not stay there and host was not open to financial discussion on this - sadly it ended with us without a place to stay.

Peaceful spot with beautiful ocean and lighthouse views!

We could not have had a more relaxed two weeks! Colin was a tremendously responsive host and we truly appreciated his hospitality. This property is beyond compare if you want privacy and ocean views, easy access to beaches and trail walks. The stone fireplace was a grand spot to sit around in the evenings and reflect on the day. Would absolutely rent this property again!

Family reunion

Our stay in Aquinnah was wonderful - in spite of the off and on again weather. The house was very comfortable and worked very well for our multi generational group: 4 adults, 1 five year old, 1 two year old, and 1 eleven year old. It actually exceeded our expectations - the pictures do not do justice to the property and the interior spaces. We enjoyed cooking and eating most meals at "home". Lobsterville beach - a five minute drive is terrific, kid friendly and lovely. I would highly recommend staying at this property - Thank you Colin for a memorable time for our family!
