Our stay at the Silva's was everything we were looking for and more for a short getaway to Martha's Vineyard. The house looked better than the pictures! Check in was easy with the door code and the binder about the house was very helpful. We travelled with our two dogs who had a blast playing in the yard. The house was super close to Lobsterville beach, which we took the dogs to for morning walks. Aquinnah was beautiful, quiet and peaceful, especially compared to some of the more touristy parts of the island. It was the perfect location for us and our dogs to relax. Highly recommend!!!

The most wonderful few days

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Silva property. It was the perfect R&R we all needed. The backyard is private yet close to the beach, lighthouse, and fun things to do in chilmark. It was also perfect for our black lab who enjoyed playing fetch on the lawn and relaxing by the hammock. We can’t wait to come back next summer!

Beautiful Property

My family had an incredible time staying at this house. My two kids (ages 3 and 1.5) loved looking for frogs in the pond and my dog loved running around the large yard. During the day, we went to the beach right down the road and at night, we went out to dinner in a nearby town or ate at home and made s’mores by the fire. I highly recommend if you want to have a perfect vacation.

So Peaceful!

We’ve been coming every summer to stay on the vineyard for years, and this was our fav rental. Plenty of space for the family, clean, had everything we needed. The yard was soo peaceful and beautifully manicured, and the little pond in the yard was fun to check out some frogs, turtles, & dragonflies. I would definitely recommend!

Up island treasure

Our family of 4 stayed at the cozy getaway and it was everything we wanted and more! Great amenities like the fire pit and outdoor shower. Very comfortable inside space and all the kitchen we needed for a few home cooked meals. The Silva’s were excellent and responsive hosts. I’d give it more than 5 stars if able!

Great spot to get away

We enjoyed all that the area had to offer. The house is set in a lovely wooded area with a pond. We really enjoyed being outside and visiting the nearby beaches and hiking trails. We also enjoyed having coffee on the deck and observing the various wildlife. Would highly recommend this property if you enjoy outdoor adventures.

My husband, myself, and our dog Gus really enjoyed our stay. The house and property was a quiet little oasis. The location was perfect for a relaxing vacation. We loved playing fetch in the yard with Gus, bike rides to the beach down the road, and relaxing at lobsterville beach. Kelly was quick to respond to all our needs and she even let us check in early. We cannot wait to come back!

a wonderful family stop off & completely accurate to a tee descriptions of available add ins.. If you are looking for off thhe beaten path this is your place & wonderfully close to a dog/family friendly Lobsterville beach (pass included) the less than desirable surprise were the ticks...Island is rife w Lonestar ticks, so beware.

Peaceful and relaxing!

We had an amazing time in Aquinnah! House was clean, very comfortable, and well equipped. We grilled, had bonfires, star gazed, and went to glorious Philbin beach. Lots of wildlife and away from the hustle/traffic of towns. We have stayed several places on the island and this is my favorite. Owners were very prompt when we had a few minor questions. Our dog was also happy.

First time in Aquinnah!

Never stayed up island and it was superb! We loved the property and it’s location. Friends stayed 1.3 miles away on the beach which was convenient for parking and walking to their private beach. I could not have asked for anything better.

Private, quiet, beautiful location

This house was a great place for my cousin and myself to stay while connecting with on-Island family over Christmas. I brought my dog, and she loved playing in the yard. A second story deck was the perfect place for morning coffee. We had a little trouble figuring out how to work the password for the Amazon Firestick, but other than that - excellent.

About the host

Hosted by KELLY SILVA

Host profile image
We are the Silva family from Taunton, MA. We have two children and a dog. Since 2013, my husband had been working in Martha's Vineyard, and he heard about the property for sale in Aquinnah. Of course, we fell in love with the land right away. That is when we decided to build a home there, and with a few hiccups along the way, we managed to finish our dream house on the island.

Why they chose this property

We always wanted to own a summer home on Martha's Vineyard where we could escape to with our family. Aquinnah's ties to the Wampanoag tribe was a big draw for my husband, and Philbin Beach was what captured my heart. The location is serene, private, and picturesque.
