About this property

Charming rustic cottage located a short distance off South Rd just past Abels Hill in Chilmark. Chilmark is very rual with rolling hills and stone walls. Water views from upper deck. Access to Lucy Vincent beach a mile down South Road and Squibnocket beach by purchasing stickers at town hall.The sound of sheep during the day and the ocean waves at night is very soothing. Views of the night sky can be wonderful since there is no light pollution. A short walk up our road there are scenic and wooded Landbank trails.

A Perfect Haven

We had a fantastic stay at Polly's house. It is a bit of paradise on MV. If you like rural charm, beautiful beaches and quiet relaxation, this is the place for you. We visited every part of the island and each time, one of the four of us would say, "I am so glad to be returning to our secluded spot in Chilmark. Polly is super chill and easy to communicate with. Total relaxation!

Wonderful week on beautiful property in fantastic location

The rustic house is clean, charming, warm, and inviting. The deck view to the ocean is peaceful and lovely. The location is fantastic for exploring all up island Vineyard spots -- as hikers, swimmers, beach goers, and bikers, this was ideal for us, since we like to avoid going into the crowded towns in summer. Polly and Craig were extremely friendly, hospitable, and helpful. All in all a wonderful place!

Fantastic MV vacation for this family.

Everything was perfect for our Chilmark get away. The location and peaceful setting was unbelievable. The house was very clean, plenty of fans and a beautiful Vineyard breeze to keep you cool in July and so much space inside and out. The best beach about a mile away, walking trails just up the dirt road and privacy. The owners gave us perfect recommendations and have created an amazing property to visit! We are hoping to return as soon as we can!

Restful Retreat in Chilmark

Our family of 5 enjoyed a wonderful, and all too short, visit to Martha's Vineyard recently, when we had the great pleasure to meet Polly and Craig and stay in their cozy cottage. What you can't tell from the pictures is how light and bright the upstairs is due to the windows everywhere, the big, plate glass sliding doors to the 2nd floor deck, and high, vaulted ceilings. The cottage was very clean, well equipped with everything we needed from kitchen supplies (and appliances) to ample, high quality bath towels and boogie boards to boot! Our children, ages 11 and 12, enjoyed the hammock on the lower deck, and having a beautiful garden behind the house. We all loved having an ocean view, and the proximity to Lucy Vincent beach, our favorite. Though the fact that it was just a short drive to the Great Rock was also a huge plus, as was the beautiful walking trail in an "Enchanted Forest" type of setting that was just a short walk away! We recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a lovely retreat in a great location.

Chilmark beauty. Location, location, location.

Absolute perfect location. Water views from the upper deck and close to Lucy Vincent beach. Craig & Polly are so nice and helpful if you need anything. One previous tenant left the gas on in the grill and Craig let us use his for the entire week. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need. This is our third year in a row we have come and hope to continue for a long time. This place is really a piece of heaven.
