Martha’s Vineyard is a great place to spend your vacation whether it be spring, summer, or fall. It has earned a reputation as the place where presidents come to vacation! We have great sandy beaches with clear, pristine water as well as miles of hiking and biking trails! Martha’s Vineyard, the third largest island on the East Coast, is a 100 square mile offshore island steeped in history and unusual in diversity as illustrated by its six towns, terrain, lifestyle, and people. Martha’s Vineyard has also earned a reputation as an unforgettable wedding destination and a place where celebrity sightings are not uncommon. Yet, Martha’s Vineyard can be private and perfect vacations can still be enjoyed by those of us who are neither Presidents nor celebrities! This picturesque island off Cape Cod remains one of the most popular destinations in New England.
In addition to the summer, May and June, as well as September and October, are also great times to visit the Vineyard! Walking along the seashore is very relaxing and you feel that the views are just for you! Ample parking and warm days and cool nights make spring and fall a perfect time to be on the Vineyard. The restaurants do not have long lines, the summer crowds are either not here yet or gone. As an added bonus, our spring and fall rental rates are less than the summer rental rates!
Vineyard Retreat is a unique, custom-built, well-maintained 1800 sq. ft. 3-bedroom 2 1/2-bathroom A-frame style house decorated in the mid-century modern style. It is nestled in a wooded setting located on a quiet country road. It is in a neighborhood that is perfectly suited for families, active couples as well as retired couples. It is only a short 3-minute walk to Sailing Camp Park where you can enjoy a swim at the beach and view stunning picture-perfect sunsets. It is only a quick drive (less than 2 miles) or a leisurely walk to enjoy all of the activities in the center of Oak Bluffs. Edgartown and Vineyard Haven, with their many shops, restaurants, and attractions, are also very easily accessible. For those not bringing a vehicle to the island, it is helpful to know that there is a Vineyard Transit Authority bus stop very nearby.
Our three bedrooms comfortably accommodate a maximum of 6 people. The master bedroom, with a queen-size bed and an adjoining full master bath with a large private shower, is located on the first floor. Two additional bedrooms are located on the second floor. One upstairs bedroom has two twin beds and the other has a queen-size bed. A full bath on the second floor serves the two upstairs bedrooms. One of these bedrooms, the West bedroom, has a private outside balcony. The fully equipped kitchen opens to a cozy dining area and a living room with a smart TV and direct access to a spacious deck. A fully enclosed outdoor shower, with hot and cold water, is available to rinse off after returning from an enjoyable day at the beach.
Our location provides easy access to the State Forest bicycle path as well as bicycle paths leading to Vineyard Haven and Edgartown and easy access to golfing at Farm Neck, swimming at State Beach, and other down-island saltwater beaches as well as to all other island towns and attractions.
We supply all bed linens and in-house towels. The house is well equipped with items such as silverware, pots & pans, and appliances. We still have great weeks available; so, what are you waiting for?
