Live the sea-faring charm of Martha's Vineyard in this appealing Sea Captain's home. Centrally located in West Tisbury village, this delightful home was chosen by the White House Staff during President Clinton's 'Summer White House' years. The Sea Captain's home features an elegant curved staircase in the foyer and a "secret" back staircase leading from the kitchen to the master suite. There are 4 spacious bedrooms with desks and sitting areas, and 10 large rooms in total. There is a grand piano for your enjoyment in the music room as well as wireless (Wifi) internet service throughout the house. The living room has digital cable TV with a wide choice of shows, movies, music and a DVD player. Adjoining the living room is a separate dining room and also a fully-equipped, charming country kitchen.
Relax on the veranda, or grill out on the rear terrace. (Terrace includes new wrought aluminum dining set). Is it your turn to make dinner? Just walk a few steps to the famous Vineyard Farmer's Market offering a smorgasbord of fresh produce and herbs plucked right from the garden, as well as a variety of baked goods, cut flowers and unique island culinary delights.
The Sea Captain's home is located near two of Martha's Vineyard's most exquisite beaches which require a special permit available when you rent. Relax at Lambert's Cove Beach (on north side of island has calm water with a beautiful vista overlooking Vineyard Sound to Cape Cod) or Long Point South Beach (on south side of island, has ocean surf, osprey and other native wildlife to view, and a bonus shallow freshwater pond perfect for your lap swimming or for the children to go wading and paddling). In the village, walk to neighborhood art galleries, island library and shops. Use our 10-speed bicycles to explore the appealing network of paved bike paths. Visit charming Alley's General Store (an island institution, with the amazingly accurate logo "Dealers in Almost Everything"). Stroll down quaint "Music Street" at sunset and enjoy the variety of fine restaurants and nightlife only minutes away in the "down island" or "up-island" towns.
