Why the Owner Chose West Tisbury
We love this part of the vineyard because it feels rural yet is close to everything, the shopping, airport, restaurants, and beaches. It is only a mile and a half from the Trustees of Reservations property which includes Longpoint Beach.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Quiet, private, lush setting. Refreshing breezes at night. Sitting on the deck with a drink, watching fireflies. Bunnies nibble the lawn. Simple things, really.
Only one mile from our home, jump on the paved bike trails to Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, West Tisbury or Vineyard Haven. Stop along the way for lunch, or have a picnic on the beach
A delightful farm that offers fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, fresh baked breads, pies, cookies and muffins. Hot coffee, sip it out on the old wood porch in a rocking chair. Soup and salad bar o
Yep, they have it. Get your morning paper here as well as anything else. And behind it is Garcia's Deli, where you can pick up eats such as pizza, chocolate or ham & cheese croissants, iced coffee, or
Trust me on this one. If you love a homemade chocolate, this is the place to get it. Thank me later. Go to Yelp.com for more amazing reviews of Chilmark Chocolates.
First off - THE BEST VIEW ON THE ISLAND! Second - GREAT BREAKFAST! so combine the two and it is a can't miss. Have an egg sandwich, a blue corn waffle, a grilled muffin. Starbucks coffee to boot. Home
Owner's Map of West Tisbury
My husband Adam grew up spending summers on Martha's Vineyard. He loved it so much and wanted us to have a place here for ourselves, and to rent out. I met Adam the summer of 1994 while working at a restaurant in Aquinnah, before my last year of college. We fell in love, got married, and have a family now. We hope that our family and YOUR family will make friends and lifelong memories here, too!

We had a wonderful time last week, and really felt that we were "borrowing" a friend's home. You had everything we needed - from the ziploc bags to laundry detergent! Without doubt, your home is the nicest rental we've had - and we've had 1/2 dozen in the past couple of years!We are already talking about coming back next year - maybe for multiple weeks...

Dear Adam & Helga, Thank you again for so generously letting us use your house and car this past weekend. It was such a wonderful getaway, the island was so beautiful, the weather perfect - cold and clear and sunny, with the water truly shimmering (it was amazing to see) and unbelievably starry nights. That's the first time I'd been to your Vineyard house and I think it is fantastic. I love so many of the pretty touches, like the glass on the front door and tile around the fireplace and the funky upstairs tub. And it is designed in a way that lets light and sun flood in, which I loved, too. And the house's proximity to Long Point Wildlife Refuge is incredible. We went there twice and saw a seal, a group of deer, and a snowy owl, plus a bunch of other cool birds. I think your location gives you the best of all worlds - privacy, nature. but also relatively easy access to the more touristy parts of the island. Thank you again. It was a really great weekend for us. Hope to see you soon! Sacha Pfeiffer (Pulitzer Prize winning writer, 2003) and Hansi Kalkofen Sacha Pfeiffer & Hansi Kalkofen Cambridge, MA

Dear Adam, Helga & Kids, Another great vacation. No pheasant harems this time, only an adolescent male! Perhaps the cat we noticed has something to do with this. See you in the spring! Thanks so much for providing a comfortable place for us on MV. Best always, JoAnne & Michael Morton

Dear Lewenberg Family, Thank you for opening your home away from home to us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Your home is an excellent home for all our Vineyard jaunts. The house is very comfortable and well taken care of. We hope to return in the fall of 2009. Thanks again. Mike & Gina Mike & Gina Ontario, Canada

: "This is our 5th year here. Bye bye, last night here!" That's our report from Josh, 7 yrs old. From us grown ups - what can we say...another lovely vacation at Longpoint Escape. Comfortable, sunny, loads of fun. Let's see what we can recommend to other visitors... West Tisbury Library is THE greatest. Had a fantastic bike ride from Edgartown to OB via State Beach. Sweet, sweet corn from Morning Glory Farm. Unbelievable pizza at Latanzi's. Alexadra (3) got introduced to Candy Land thanks to yoru careful and generous planning. Biked to airport for a fun lunch for the kids. One special night out we had a fantastic, unusual friendly meal at the Cornerway in Chilmark Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful home. Alexandra & Joshua loved your yard (including falling in love with the outdoor shower) and all the great space for board games. Andreas & I loved the spaciousness and well-considered layout. It's a happy place to be. Best, Melinda, Andreas, Joshua & Alexandra Calianos

Dear Adam & Helga, It is the end of our 2nd summer at Longpoint Escape. We are bittersweet at leaving, as your home is as welcoming and warm as last year. This year was particularly wonderful, as we celebrated our parents 50th wedding anniversary here. It was important that we find a special place for this awesome celebration, and LPE fit the bill! We love the newest addition to the LPE family - the handsome pheasant! He strutted and made lots of mating calls - how fun to watch him! As was the case last year, the house is well stocked, which is a comfort after traveling so far to get here. And your book collection is fabulous. Many thanks for opening your home to those of us who adore MV. We look forward to out LPE vacation next year. Warmest regards, Gloria, Ozzie, Kim, Kerry, & Chris Beckford

What a wonderful new home you have! We have enjoyed being here with our family and would love to come back again. In spite of the weather, we had a great time. We appreciated how well furnished and supplied your home is, and Baylin, age 2, loved having toys, books, and videos. Thanks for all your thoughtfulness. Jan, Darby, Tobia, & Baylin Groff
