Come enjoy a stay at this awesome house! We have August 27 - September 1st available for rent by the night. We ask for a three-night minimum stay during summer months only.
This is a four-season vacation rental, a bright, cheerful house designed throughout for a relaxing stay. Tastefully furnished, well equipped, and lovingly maintained, this home is truly comfortable, child and pet friendly, and inviting. It is located exactly one mile from the center of town in a beautiful, peaceful setting. A bike ride into town is easy and enjoyable. The house is close to the 10A bus route (on Franklin Street) to Vineyard Haven and connecting buses to all parts of the island.
The entire house is air conditioned by a ductless, noiseless, mini-split system served by two efficient heat pumps. A/C is a really nice feature on those hot humid summer days. But when the weather isn't stiffling, you have the option to turn off the A/C, open the windows and sliders, and enjoy the island breezes. Individual thermostats control the cooling in each bedroom and the upstairs great room. The five ceiling fans throughout the house enhance the cooling - whether or not you choose to use A/C.
The house is a reverse contemporary style of 2,000+ square feet. Upstairs is an open sky-lit living area with a gas ''wood-style'' stove, a stunning 44-inch Sony Bravia HDTV with Direct TV, Sony Blueray DVD, VCR, and a great sound system. Three glass sliders open to a large deck overlooking the yard, gardens, and protected woodlands. This upstairs deck features a nice gas grill and two umbrella tables with seating for eight. The kitchen, half bath, and grand dining table (with seating for eight) are also upstairs. One upstairs sofa converts into a double bed. A self-inflating mattress is also available - there's plenty of space for it. Some of our guests say the upstairs living area is actually the nicest bedroom because you are just a few feet from the refrigerator and the large HDTV - and you wake up to a view of the trees!
Three bedrooms, each with a ductless air conditioning unit and a ceiling fan, are located downstairs. The master bedroom is a private suite with its own bath, Sony Bravia Hi Def TV and DVD, and glass slider to a delightful deck with rocking chairs and a view of the lawn and the woods. Another bedroom with twin single beds and hi def flatscreen TV/DVD also opens to the deck. And a lovely corner bedroom - so cozy with a comfy queen bed and another high def TV - is just across the hallway from another full bathroom. A convenient, new washer and dryer are also located downstairs in the bedroom area.
The house is tastefully carpeted in the living area and two bedrooms. The kitchen, dining area, and master bedroom are beautiful hardwood. The house's decor is subtle and the colors are neutral. All rooms are nicely decorated.
With ample linens, blankets, pillows, towels, beach blankets, umbrellas, and coolers, you don’t need to bring much with you to have an enjoyable Vineyard stay. We include a starter supply of paper towels, toilet tissue, soaps, laundry and dishwasher detergent, and garbage bags. The kitchen is totally equipped – with all the pots, pans, utensils, appliances, dishes, flatware, food storage containers, fine cutlery, and gadgets befitting the most demanding of chefs. A fine assortment of tools for grilling is available. The grill, a fabulous MHP, is connected to the house's gas line so you will never run out of propane.
The house has a portable crib with its own sheets and blankets, a high chair, and baby gates.
The house is equipped with unlimited long distance service to the US and Canada. It also has wireless Verizon DSL Internet service. And with four HDTVs and Blueray, you'll be well entertained.
The house features a walkout basement, which is a convenient place to store bikes. For guests who cannot bring their own bikes, there are five adult vintage Raleigh English bicycles available. Bike rentals shops are also nearby and they will actually deliver a bike to you.
We love dogs and families who have dogs. If you wish to bring your dog, please call and discuss it with us.
When booking in the wintertime, please give us about a week's advance notice for us to prepare the house for you.
Inside and out, summer, spring, winter, and fall, this home is a tranquil retreat that is a vacation destination itself.show moreshow less
