Equally perfect for a romantic rendezvous, or family adventure this stunning home is nestled on the tranquil cove where Lake Tashmoo meets the sea. Deeded Ocean Beach, Bicycles, Canoes & Memories included! No wonder this listing is on the 'Kayak Tour'.
Surrounded by the estate homes of Tashmoo West (an area of celebrities and multi-million dollar homes which rent bi-weekly for $30,000 and up), this listing is an exceptional value! -- it enjoys all amenities and a spectacular, one-of-a-kind setting with gorgeous water views from every room. Walk to PRIVATE, SANDY, OCEAN BEACH. Beyond historic field-stone walls lies a 70-acre wildlife preserve to explore -- hike or bike the trails, swim in the lake or ocean at 'Chappaquonsett' (deeded private beach). Paddle the boats, peddle the trails, enjoy the variety of fishing holes, relax on the decks, rejuvenate. . . . . Feel yourself completely at peace . . . . Yet drive only 5 minutes to town for exciting shopping, restaurants, entertainment and nightlife! (For example, a house rented 'up-island' on M.V. can take up to an hour to drive to town or the grocery store.) Here -- town is
only 5 minutes away.
Walk the woodland path or paddle across the inlet to the ocean (2 canoes and small dock included). Take a dip in the cove directly in front of the house, then enjoy the outdoor shower. The children (or you) will have fun exploring for clams, quahogs, and mussels. Create your own Vineyard Clam Chowder or fresh steamers as you take in the amazing view from the kitchen. Dine by the cozy fire, or 'al fresco' on the deck. At days end relax by candlelight on the screened porch with a drink and your loved ones while you watch the sun set gently over the water.
. . . . . . .Next day set off on an island adventure and paddle your canoes to the village for lunch at the 'Black Dog' Cafe. Or discover the lovely network of bicycle paths to expore around the island (2 bicycles provided).
This home includes two master suites each with queen-sized beds, wall-mounted, flat-screen TVs, and private balconies that overlook breathtaking views. Each master suite comes complete with cathedral ceiling and private bath with heated towel warmers. One master suite boasts a private sun terrace. There is another double bedroom and 3rd full bathroom on the main floor. Outdoors on the broad deck are two sets of dining tables and chairs along with chaise lounges for sunbathing.
The large, bright kitchen has skylights, waterviews out to the sea and overlooks the dining room with cozy fireplace. See the ships sail by while you relax with new flat-screen T.V., DVD, digital cable and wireless internet. Enjoy the Steinway Grand Piano. French doors open from the living room onto a spacious screened porch with comfortable wicker seating. Adjoining the Screened Porch is a special 'Children's Wing' with 2 sets of bunk beds and a double bedroom loft (for your nanny) with TV, DVD and plenty of room to romp inside or out on the one-acre lawn.
Hear the call of the osprey by day, bask in magnificent magenta sunsets at dusk, snuggle up by the fireside in the evening, and delight to the twinkling lights of Cape Cod and ocean sounds by night.
A truly magical spot!

We have enjoyed your home and the peaceful surroundings. The views are simply gorgeous. The weather has been very cooperative and I've watered your flowers. We've gone on hikes in the forest and used the boats a lot. The resident Osprey has been very busy catching fish constantly. He always has a new fish in his talons as he flies over the pond. We've also gotten to know the beautiful Vineyard and all it has to offer. We're not ready to leave -- now that we've all learned how to relax, but would love to return. Thanks very much.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/2

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1993
About the owner: Owners chose this property for its Sunsets, Tranquility, Nature, Beauty, Setting... and Adventures. Owners have over 30 years experience in vacation summer home rentals on Martha's Vineyard.
Why the Owner Chose Vineyard Haven:
Serene views with rich history. Residents include ABC's Diane Sawyer, famed Hollywood Director, Mike Nichols, and award-winning author, Judy Blume. Estate owners and frequent visitors to this cove included actors James Cagney, Katherine Cornell, Vivian Leigh (Scarlet O'Hara), Rex Harrison, Noel Coward, Sir Laurence Olivier, famous authors Pearl Buck, Somerset Maugham, James Thurber, Helen Keller and American Musical composer, Cole Porter.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
1) A 'Great Get-a-Way' yet so close to the villages for shopping, restaurants and night-life. (For instance, a house rented 'up-island' can take up to an hour to drive to town or grocery store.)
2) The Private Beach Uniqueness -- The sparkling, sandy beach speaks for itself (locate Herring Creek Road on a map to see the private beach 'Chappaqonsett'...which borders famous celebrities' private beaches)
3) Spectacular, vivid sunsets (blazing red, pink and magenta hues) that continue well into the late evening skies.
4) The gorgeous natural beauty of the private cove....A symphony of gentle wildlife every day -- astride the water, beneath the sea, soaring aloft, searching the seashore, within the wooded glen, among the treetop branches. . . .
5) No wonder we are on the 'kayak tour'.
