The Gay Head/Aquinnah area is known as the most ecologically preserved, least populated and most peaceful part of Martha's Vineyard. It is away from the hustle, bustle and traffic of the ''down island'' towns of Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs and Edgartown.
The Aquinnah Cliffs are a short walk or car ride from the house. At the Cliffs you will find a couple of restaurants, a general store, and several stores with local gifts and souvenirs. The beautiful Gay Head lighthouse looks out over the cliffs and is open to the public. There are wonderful views from the top. (½ mile from house)
We are conveniently located to the spectacular beaches of Aquinnah including Moshup Beach (public parking available, 1 mile) and Philbin Beach (1.3 mile) (parking permit available at the town clerk with rental agreement) Losterville (3 miles) and Red Beach (3.5 miles). These beaches are less crowded and a great place to relax with the family.
We do not provide bed linens or towels, bring your own or we can refer a linen rental service that will deliver and pick up from the house. We do provide pillows, blankets, bedspreads and kitchen towels. read more show less
