Beautiful Lambert's Cove Retreat
West Tisbury Vacation Rental - ID 15411

I've been coming to the Vineyard for almost fifty years and it's one of my very favorite homes. I love not just Lambert's Cove Beach, the most beautiful on the island, but also the trails and swimming ponds just out the back of the property. My family also loved the large lawn and the privacy that gave us. I loved the firewood that was left for us when we arrived.

We spent two weeks at this property and loved it and its convenient location. Evenings were delightful and peaceful in the outdoors because of the size of the property. The house was comfortable and charming. It was built in the 1890s I think. Don't expect a luxury rental. Expect to relax and enjoy a piece of island history.

After a wonderful vacation in 2013, our family decided to return again this past summer. Once again we were extremely happy with the home, property and its location to the things our family enjoys when we visit the island. The weather held up well during our stay and we loved being literally minutes by car to Lamberts Cove and within walking distance of Seth's pond. Upon return from the beach or pond the outdoor shower had a line of people young and old. When at the house we BBQ'd the majority of the evenings and set up a badminton net for the kids. The kids plowed through puzzles in the living room and caught fireflies in the early evening. The location of the home is set back off the road a bit so street traffic is at a minimum. Again the lot is large (check it out on google earth) so there was plenty of room for our kids to explore and play. At night the open lot allows clear access to the night sky. Being from just outside NYC this was a nightly event and treat.

Once again we had a great stay. This time our family returned for two weeks (unfortunately I had to check out after one). We will definitely return. As stated in an earlier post, this is an older home with all the MV charm, exactly what we are looking for. When we come here, it is so easy to unwind. This is a real find and a location we have recommended to our friends. show more show less

I used to vacation Martha's Vineyard as a child, and now that I have a family of my own, we've started visiting MV for the last five years. We've always stayed in West Tisbury to gain access to Lambert's Cove, a beach we've grown to love. Also, we like staying up island. While we do make a few trips to the towns, we spend most of our time relaxing away from it all. We've tried three different homes in the last five years and each had some great features, but we believe we might have struck gold with this latest rental. The location could not be more perfect for us. We were able to hit Lamberts Cove in mere minutes (including the walk from the entrance). Also Seth’s pond, our kids favorite spot, is within walking distance. Our usual routine was to spend time at the beach then take a dip at the pond before returning to the house. The house is set on a quite large piece of property. We set up a badminton/volleyball net, flew kites, played horse with the available b-ball hoop (just a hoop, not a court) and caught fireflies in the early evening. The home is set back from the street and slightly uphill. This may have helped with a slight breeze that seemed to keep any bugs at bay. We spent several of the evenings outside, grilling, and eating at the picnic table. The home, while not large by modern standards, was big enough for the five of us, plus my sister-in-law and her two children. Two and a half baths plus the outdoor shower helped us get everyone ready for our excursions in a timely manner. The kids especially loved the outdoor shower. The house is older, but that was not a detraction for us as we live in a similarly aged home. The kitchen has that old country feel. The dining table was large enough for all of us and we spent evenings putting together puzzles and playing board games in the living room. Although not mentioned in the description, the home has Wi-Fi which kept all the kids “connected”. There is a washer and dryer. We had some difficulty with the washer during the week and on the morning of our last day it wouldn’t start. William the owner was very pleasant and the contract process went very smoothly. Overall, we were extremely pleased with the place and my wife was disappointed that we needed to leave. Of the places we’ve stayed for the last five (now six) years this was the one that everyone seemed to enjoy the most. We most certainly will come back next year if it’s available. show more show less
