Come to a delightful woodland setting next to the State Forest. Our two-story, year-round Cape, built in 1994, sits on one-and-a-half acres --- just a short walk from the State Forest bike path and Greenlands trails. Bright & airy with ceiling fans throughout --- and Air-Conditioning if needed, this well-appointed home sleeps six comfortably. The dining room seats six people. In addition, the house boasts a well-equipped kitchen with a 5-seat breakfast counter and recently upgraded appliances, including a gas stovetop with an electric oven, microwave oven, dishwasher and refrigerator. Three attractively decorated bedrooms, two upstairs and one downstairs, offer comfortable bedding: two queens and two singles. Bed linens are included (but we do not furnish towels; those you will have to bring). The cost of departure cleaning is included in the rental amount. You will find your beds already made when you arrive.
On the first floor, the living room has a bay window view overlooking one of our flower gardens. French doors lead to a lovely cathedral-ceiling sun room where we provide Wi-Fi internet, cable TV, a BluRay/DVD and a radio/CD player. Beyond the kitchen, a full-size laundry is adjacent to the first floor bath. An elegant first floor bedroom with queen bed is nearby. The dining room looks out on to a large rear sundeck and an extensive lawn surrounded by woods.
The second floor has a spacious master bedroom with a queen-size bed, a second bedroom with two twin beds, and a full bath in between. Hardwood floors run throughout the house.
Outdoors you will find front and rear sun decks adorned with decorative flower boxes. The rear sundeck has a large teak table with umbrella that seats eight and a grill patio with a Weber gas grill and a Weber charcoal grill. Enjoy a soothing private outdoor shower. Take a nap in our hammock. Play croquet. Our house and its grounds give families lots of room to spread out in a tranquil wooded environment. Flowers are everywhere.
As our guests, you will have access to West Tisbury's private Lambert's Cove Beach, a nearby private association swimming pool and a tennis court, each nestled in the woods. We also have Beach Chairs for your use in the basement. The house is centrally located on the island within easy reach of Vineyard towns and attractions.
While the house sleeps six comfortably, it also makes the perfect romantic getaway for a couple, both during summer and off-season when rates are lower and crowds have thinned. Spring and Fall on the Vineyard are lovely.
Accessibility: A three-step entry way with a solid handrail and a comfortable first floor bedroom, bath and laundry make this home more accessible for elderly guests. Our no-pets and no-smoking policies help to reduce allergens.
We may have some owner-transferable Steamship Authority Ferry Boat Tickets for your car at cost for selected weeks in July and August. Most guests, however, prefer to book their own boat tickets. To reserve space for your car, phone the SSA at (508) 477-8600, or book online at: steamshipauthority.com.
Booking Information: To complete your reservation for our vacation home, send us an email and also telephone us to confirm the booking dates, payment details, and to furnish your mailing address and other needed contact information. Leave a voice message if necessary in case we miss your phone call (or mistake your call for that of a telemarketer).
NEW LODGING TAX. Please note that effective July 2019, all homeowners renting vacation homes in Massachusetts are now required to collect and remit a new State and Local short-term rental tax in the amount of 11.7% of the lease amount. This tax will be in addition to the posted rental cost (which already includes departure cleaning). In addition to the rental cost and lodging tax, we also require a $450.00 damage/security deposit that we promptly return to you at the conclusion of your vacation.
When you arrive, here are some of Martha's Vineyard Island’s Attractions: Dining at many fine restaurants, beautiful beaches, scenic vistas, swimming, fishing, boating, tennis, bicycling, walking along miles of picturesque Land Bank and other conservation trails, the Polly Hill Arboretum, shopping in island towns, antiquing, island art galleries, craft shows, glass blowing demonstrations, MV Agricultural Fair, concerts, musical performances, special events.... and lots more fun.
