Renting a 5 bedroom/4.5 bath, 3,800 square-foot, beach front home, located just steps from downtown Vineyard Haven, on the picturesque island of Martha's Vineyard. (Sleeps 8-10)
Ready to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind? Escape to the enchanting island of Martha's Vineyard with its windswept beaches, rolling grasslands, and quaint, seaside towns.
Set overlooking one of the most beautiful wooden-boat harbors in the world, this stunning, 1930s Georgian Colonial, with panoramic ocean views, offers the discerning traveler breezy, summer living and a fresh, contemporary feel combined with the architectural romance of days gone by. Spend lazy afternoons swinging in the hammock as you watch the boats slip along or stroll across the expansive back yard to the beach for some sunbathing and a quick dip. An intimate patio provides the perfect spot for cooking out and dinner under the stars. Then retire to the great room for an evening of conversation or reading.
The home features a master bedroom with queen-size bed, fireplace, seating area, and ocean-view balcony; second bedroom with queen-size bed and fireplace; third bedroom with two twin beds; and fourth and fifth bedrooms with one twin each. The newly renovated kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, stove, toaster, blender, coffee maker, and dishes/cookware, and the attached dining room offers fantastic ocean views, a fireplace, and seating for up to ten. Additional amenities include a den for the kids, a full-size sofa bed, two additional fireplaces (five in all), updated bathrooms and laundry, an outdoor grill, wireless internet, cable, a DVD player, and towels and linens. Ferry service is conveniently located within five minute's walking distance.
Those looking for something more, however, will find it just steps away in the captivating town of Vineyard Haven, where upscale shops and fantastic dining beckon. Grab a quick workout at the nearby health club then walk on down the street to brunch at the famous “Black Dog” Tavern. In the evening, it's off to a delightful dinner, perhaps at the French country restaurant located just a few doors down, then a first-run movie at the town's old-fashioned theater or a band concert in the park. Joggers and walkers will appreciate the charming, sun-dappled homes and spectacular water views as they head out of town in the other direction. But that's just a start; with its sandy beaches, secluded trails, verdant pastures, swimming, sailing, sport fishing, biking, tennis, golf, horseback riding, fine dining and tasteful shops, weekly craft fairs, art galleries, lectures, plays, and concerts, the island truly offers something for everyone and a vacation experience that won't soon be forgotten. |
