Lucy Vincent Beach Oceanfront Contemporary
Chilmark - Lucy Vincent Beach Vacation Rental - ID 4172

This was our second stay at Safari House and hope it's not the last. The property is incredibly beautiful, private and convenient to one of the best beaches on MV if not the best. I've vacationed on MV for many years and have stayed at a number of different places, and having spent time at Safari House, it is hard to choose anywhere else. We love it! We hope to be back next year??

I just now went on my daughter's laptop to get my email for the week -- that's how relaxed I am! There is so much I could write to you about -- the ospreys, catbirds, song sparrows and bunnies, the sound of the surf, the fog settling in over the pond, morning coffee in bed with a spectacular view, warm showers with constellations twinkling above... This is such a special spot on a beautiful island that we have grown to love since first coming here over 20 years ago. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We are respectful and are taking good care of it. show more show less

We have been coming to this extraordinary place for the last 8 years and the fundamental reason that we keep returning is that we believe that this home simply does not have an equivalent – by a long shot. Simply put, Chilmark and specifically Lucy Vincent Beach are tremendously serene and beautiful and are removed from the more congested and busy portions of the island, and this home places you right where you want to be in Chilmark - on Lucy Vincent Beach.

We used to rent in the Chilmark woods and had to obtain a pass to Lucy Vincent Beach and drive to the beach, forcing adherence to hours of operation when the gate was open and staffed. With this home and its location on Chilmark Pond and Lucy Vincent Beach, you have unfettered and direct access, affording you the ability to walk the beach in the morning at sunrise or spend a quiet afternoon or early evening on the beach. This south shore beach has limited access so it is not overcrowded, the waves are great for boards, and it's very picturesque. We believe that it is by far one of the best beaches on the island.

The house is perfect for a family, with a great room and deck overlooking the pond and beach. Views, tranquility and nature abound, it’s a perfect peaceful retreat. We appreciate the simplicity, spaciousness, and cleanliness of the house, and all necessary amenities are present in the home including an outdoor shower perfect for after the beach. This house is amazingly private, the only noise you hear are the waves and birds. The owners have always been nothing but a pleasure to work with over the years, always accommodating and communicative.

The village of Menemsha is only a few miles away with awesome seafood, fishing and evening sunsets. Chilmark's library and tennis courts are a short drive or walk away, and other amenities such as Ally’s General Store, Chilmark Store and Chilmark Chocolates are easily accessible to this location, though you may not want to pull yourself away from this special place.

We love the Safari House! From BBQ's to walks on the beach, we made the most of our stay. The path to the beach was great. We look forward to staying at your home again soon. Michael and Colleen

Thanks for sharing your beautiful property with us. We had a wonderful time with new experiences and can't wait to return next year. Great views, serene, tranquil, perfect family time.

We love the house and the nature that surrounds it. We look forward to being back at Safari House next summer!

"This is a wonderful house in a phenomenal location just minutes by kayak, swimming or wading from Lucy Vincent Beach. We could have spent our entire vacation just gazing at the views from the deck. We can't wait to return next year!"

Our stay at the 'Safari House' has been phenomenal. The view from the house was very refreshing as were the quick trips across the pond. Never want to ferry away.....vineyard memories last forever. The departure is sad as we leave the vineyard once again, can't wait till next year!

This house has a spectacular view and we have loved every minute here since we started renting 3 summers ago!

I had a week of complete bliss! Celebrating my 80th birthday with my son's family in paradise. The sunrise and sunsets, watching mother duck and her brood off for their morning swim. Walking the beach to the clay cliffs, we are, already, planning for next year
