Description

Description

Our sweet, spacious house and guest house is a unique compound, secluded yet accessible. Tucked under the trees on a hill surrounded by 1 1/2 wooded acres, it is perfect for families who want to be together, yet have privacy. The houses were originally built by a Vineyard artisan. We restored it several years ago with respect for the home's character - sophisticated but relaxed.
The main house's gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with a Wolf range top and double wall ovens, soapstone counters and an old farmhouse sink. It is an open space with the dining area set beside the unusually large brick hearth, which was built by an Island mason (and blues musician) who returned to the house to restore it. The room also features beautiful, historic, reclaimed exposed beams and wide-plank pine floors. Down the hall, past the laundry room is the large family room, furnished with down-cushioned couches and a reading chair, equipped with a new wide-screen HD smart tv, good books and board games. There are two full baths, with hand-made Mexican tiles, french doors in front and back leading to mahogany decks overlooking the gardens, and a large master bedroom with hand-turned antique queen bed and a chaise by the window for reading and napping. Two smaller bedrooms, one with an exposed brick wall, and a quiet office space are down the hall. We use Brooklinen sheets on all the beds, a high-end line of crisp percale - chosen by the New York Times' Wirecutter as the best sheets! We also supply guests with big, thick, fluffy white 100 percent cotton bath towels.
Across the yard, the guest house is an enormous, Soho loft-like space with a post and beam cathedral ceiling and skylights, bathing the house in natural sun and moon light. There is a breakfast nook, a living area with two sets of French doors opening to the deck and woods. Off to one side is a sleeping alcove with an antique four-poster queen bed and on the other side, a luxurious full bath with skylights, a copper soaking tub and separate walk-in shower.
We are a short walking distance to the calm waters and long sandy shores of Lambert's Cove beach and only a few minutes to Uncle Seth's Pond where kids can hunt for tadpoles and swim in shallow water while adults can go for a nice long swim. Our houses are also a five-minute walk to Ice House Pond, which is one of the best (and semi-secret) swimming spots on the Island. By bike or car, you can pop down to the Black Dog restaurant and bakery for triple berry muffins, lobster rolls and superb clam chowder. Cronig's supermarket, and the quaint town of Vineyard Haven are only a few miles away.
Both houses have outdoor showers.
Note: cleaning fee is pro-rated.

    Amazing Home in a Perfect Location for Three Generations + a Golden Retriever

    My parents, their golden retriever, my two children, my husband and I spent an amazing week here in August of 2018. The home is stunning - comfortable, immaculate, well-appointed, quiet, and spacious - and is in a perfect location on Martha's Vineyard for those looking for a relaxing spot on the island that lets you take advantage of its beauty. We were able to walk the kids and dog to Lambert's Cove in the morning (one of the few places on the island where dogs can be on the beach in the summer) and return later in the day to hunt for gentle watermelon jellyfish and float on the calm waters, walk to Ice Pond and Seth's Pond (my kids' favorite), and jump in the car for quick drives to mini-golf and ice cream when we wanted a little more excitement.

    The owner and the caretaker made sure the house was spotless, everything worked properly, and we had whatever we needed. We have already booked for the next summer and can't wait to return!

    Great Summer Retreat

    This home was spacious, comfortable and beautifully renovated and decorated. Having the guest house for extra visitors was ideal for our extended family and made it into a wonderful reunion spot for cousins and siblings to convene. The owners were lovely and made sure we were comfortable. We plan to come back next year!

    Martha's Vineyard Gem!

    What a beautiful home! Melissa and her family were very welcoming upon our first visit to see the house in early June. We immediately fell in love with the home and all the wonderfully decorated rooms. Our family of 4 and our extended family stayed for a lovely week of relaxation and fun. Lots of room and places for everyone to gather. Absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for a great home, away from the shops and yet a close drive to visit them.

    Spectacular Escape

    This rental had everything we wanted. Amazing property with great light and location. We could walk to Lambert's Cove Inn and Ice Pond. Wonderful kitchen and dining space for entertaining friends. Newly renovated. Cheerful interior decorated with taste. Private outdoor seating area in back of the house. Loved the outdoor showers. Although we did not use it, there is an extra building on the grounds also charmingly decorated that has another sleeping space. Quiet area. Good place to start my bicycle rides. We are renting here again. show more show less

    Beautiful house in a special place!

    This is an enchanting place, designed with great attention to detail. It is lovingly maintained and fully equipped with all you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The laundry area (located on the first floor), wifi, and beautifully equipped kitchen help make the house feel like home. The wonderfully airy guesthouse offers space and privacy, creating a small compound with room for everyone. It is great for extended family, visiting friends, or older kids who like time alone to relax, play games, listen to music, etc. There are outdoor showers, deck and lawn areas, and even a soaking tub!

    West Tisbury is our favorite part of the Island, accessible to everything, yet private and pastoral. Lambert's Cove Beach is spectacular both in-season and off-season.
    The owners are very communicative and warm. They have taken great care in creating this vacation space and truly wish their renters to have an enjoyable stay. We will be returning soon!

    Wonderful Vacation Home

    This house in one word is "Beautiful!" There is more than enough room for a family and a few friends to stay on the property comfortably. The bedrooms in the main house are lovely and are air conditioned ( not that you would need to use it often). The pictures on this website do not do the house justice. Every detail of this house was prepared with love. The owners left plenty of instructions and contact information in case anything unexpected happened.
    Our party stayed for a week and some still had "office work" to do so the fact that the house had wi-fi was an added bonus. There are plenty of pots, pans, glasses, dishes and eating utensils. All the appliances are new, even the washer/ dryer which by the way is conveniently located on the first floor.
    I stayed in the carriage house and very rarely went back to the main house. The serenity and comfort of the "moonlit" carriage house was worth the trip from Philadelphia alone.

    Great location for beautifully refurbished guest homes, perfect for extended family…like new!

    We received a warm greeting from the owners upon our arrival and a tour of the newly restored homes that included a 2nd guest house. The home was redone in all highend furnishings, reburbished & new flooring, new stainless steel appliances, plenty of plates, glasses, even fine silver for everyday use. Also plenty of pots & pans to cook, bake or fry in, a coffee maker along with a new Weber grill, washer & dryer. There were cleaning/laundry supplies, spices and storage containers/bags for leftovers and a water dispenser w/ filter. It was nice to have supplies available and not have to start from scratch to equip a house with every little item for just one week, so thank you for that :). The baths had plenty of towels and the bedrooms plenty of sheets, pillow & blankets. Appreciated the pack n play and highchair for our grandchildren.

    The houses were both comfortable, spacious, and surrounded by outdoor decks including 2 outdoor showers, great when returning from the beach. The A/C provided relief from the humid weather on hot afternoons and in the evening a breeze would flow through both homes. We had plenty of space for our extended family. We enjoyed the game table, it was great for puzzles. We had everything we needed for a very enjoyable week in a convenient, yet private location, and the owners were very hospitable. Thanks for sharing your home & providing a fabulous place to stay!

    I am a retired newspaper journalist and my husband is a semi-retired infectious disease doctor. We had been coming to the vineyard for years, renting a house for our family and dreaming that one day we might find a house of our own here. It was pure serendipity that we found this place - restored it lovingly - and our family, friends and guests have been enjoying it now for 7 years.
    Heaven.

    What is special about this property?
    We are located in Lambert's Cove, walking distance to the ponds and the beach, biking distance to everywhere else on the island. Our house and carriage house are private, nestled in the woods, but easily accessible.
    And the place has the most ethereal light.

    What is special about your town?
    Vineyard Haven is sweet, not crowded, and has all the shops and amenities you could want - except a wine store, but that's not far away. It even has an art film center which will reopen once Covid-19's menace has passed.
