Stunning waterfront home! I have been renting on Martha’s Vineyard for many years and was thrilled to find this gem of a vacation rental. From the location to the chef’s kitchen to the easy beach access, this rental is worth the investment for a special Vineyard experience. We were so grateful for the clear communication with the home owner, the cleanliness of the home and all the cozy and comfortable spaces to hang out. The house came with everything we needed and we really appreciated being able to bring along our family dog too! We hope to rent again!

Beautiful Location

This home is perfectly located fronting a protected bay between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. The provided Kayaks and paddle boards offer great access to have fun in the water. The fire pit and the rooms have great water views. Definitely worth returning to. The entire family enjoyed our stay here.

Tranquil and Charming

We stayed at this gorgeous home for a week. The property was gorgeous, conveniently locTed, and filled with tremendous amenities that made our whole stay comfortable and convenient. The house is so unique with so many places to cuddle up with a book and take in the gorgeous views of the inlet and the ocean.

Annual Family Vacation

We had a group of 7 adults and enjoyed our stay. The location of the home was convenient. We rode bikes, walked and used uber for transportation. We easily explored Oak Bluffs and Edgartown during our stay. We enjoyed the games in the home and all of the space for private time if needed. We highly recommend this home.

Thanks for the Opportunity.

We enjoyed out stay. The only improvement I would recommendation is to have better lighting in the house, particularly on the main floor where there were only the yellow lights.

This was a repeat visit for us at this beautiful home. We stayed here with our teenage children who especially enjoyed kayaking and fishing right off the property. There was more than enough space for our family and so much to do on site. Can take a nice stroll up to Oak Bluffs or down to Jaws bridge. Sunrise over the ocean is beautiful in the morning as is the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach. Highly recommended! Hope to return again!

PERFECT HOME

The house is absolutely stunning. It is decorated so well, and has so much charm. It is well equipped and has so much seating and room for entertaining and lounging. The views of the ocean are breathtaking and the outside space is perfect. There are plenty of bedrooms, towels, glassware, speakers, appliances and everything else that makes you feel at home. I cannot say enough about this property, I wish I could stay here forever.

Worth Every Penny

Absolutely beautiful and well appointed home. The convenience of the water sports was only rivaled by the convenience of the bike-walking-jogging path into Oak Bluffs in one direction and Edgartown on the other. Gorgeous views; fantastic amenities; comfortable and inviting decor. We stayed there during my daughter’s wedding week and hosted a few events and it was PERFECT. Loved every minute and it was worth every penny.

A Peaceful Retreat We’ll Never Forget

This historic beach house was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views and the charm of the home itself. Nestled on a private beach, the location felt peaceful and secluded — a true hidden gem.One of the unexpected joys of our stay was watching the osprey nest right across the water. Each day, we observed the chicks grow into fledglings — such a special and calming experience that brought us even closer to nature.The home was warm, comfortable, and perfect for entertaining family. We loved every minute and made memories we’ll treasure forever. It was truly hard to leave.

Idyllic Vineyard home and setting

The home is a perfect setting for both active and relaxing times with family and friends. We loved the interior design of the home and the outside spaces were great for our family. The 6 & 7 year olds spent most of their “idle time” playing on and around the dock catching crabs and the teens enjoyed hanging on the very very close beach across the water. The location of the house was perfectly close to both OAK bluffs and Edgartown, which is where we spent most of our time. Thank you to the owners/hosts for a wonderful time and a very clean and well appointed home!

Great home- fantastic setting

Loved staying in this natural, charming home in what felt like a bird sanctuary! The setting is spectacular and the homeowners provided all of the toys you could ask for, including: paddle boards, kayaks, boogie boards, etc! There were so many fantastic bedrooms to chose from- all with fantastic views of the waterway and ocean. The only negative piece of feedback has to do with the lighting in the kitchen and living room. It is bizarrely dark- making it difficult to navigate and enjoy comfortably in the evenings. (We suspect this had something to do with conserving energy... ultimately not that big of an issue).

Excellent family house, especially fun for kids

We spent a week here in August with an extended, multigenerational family group. The house has a ton of sleeping spaces and bathrooms, and a well stocked kitchen. The interior design features are remarkable and the house has real character. It’s an older home but many of the design elements complement its age. The kitchen is updated and it’s overall very nice. Property manager was great. A couple of things broke during our stay and they were quick to provide replacements (eg one of the kayaks). The dock and channel provide endless entertainment for the kids to safely play outside. The air conditioning was impressively effective. Overall I would rate this house a 9.5/10 with the only deduction due to there being a lack of sound insulation so it was a little hard to keep everyone asleep if anyone was awake. But this is manageable and overall, we would return, and would recommend.

Such a fantastic house and an excellent location. An easy mile stroll to Oak Bluffs or a flat, beautiful 4 mile bike ride to Edgartown. A meal and drink and Noman’s across the street could not be easier. The body of water at the back of the house is calm and perfect for kids of all ages to paddle and swim. We enjoyed watching the Osprey descend from their nest and hunt for fish. The deck was amazing for all meals. Indoor dining table large enough for our whole group as well.Loved the few minute walk to private beach just across the lagoon! The house itself is in great condition and perfect for a large group. Many rooms and beds. Plenty of room for our extended family of 11 (4 teens, parents, grandparents and cousins). The kitchen is very well stocked and had everything we could possibly need. Perfect for a lobster boil or lobster on the grill and paella on the open fire. The owner Julie was attentive, responsive and so helpful in helping us set up bike rentals and grocery delivery and all of our floor plan questions ahead of time (thank you so much!). For this west coast family, it was truly a wonderful place to experience a MV summer. We hope to return!

Beauty and Charm

My family of four plus in laws stayed over a beautiful Fourth of July weekend. It was a special place - a turn of the century home that has been lovingly cared for. An amazing flow and grace on first floor. Tons of space to explore. The land backing up to inlet and 2 min walk or swim to private beach could not be better. Everyone was happy. Convenient drive to edgartown , mile to oak bluffs.. steps to Nomans. I wish the main street wasn’t so busy but you can’t see it from the home as it’s set far back and no visibility through the woods… and you totally forget about it. I’m a photographer and the light and character of the home was a dream. My personal favorite was sitting on the various screened in porches and listening to the birds. An amazing osprey family and nest to watch too.

Amazing place. Incredible host.

This place is its own oasis. Worth every penny. We were AMAZED at how well outfitted the house was with cooking utensils to fun games to paddle boards, etc. With the dock; inlet; tidal cove; coastal feel to the house, 5 min walk to beach on cool wooded trail; privacy; short distance to so many things to do; walks or bike ride to Jaws Bridge;….it’s a must stay.

Words defy the experience of this magnificent Vineyard home. Close to everything and yet private and away from the tourist hustle & bustle in Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. Our hosts were gracious and the place was well stocked with everything anyone might need. We absolutely loved it. Our heartfelt gratitude to the Sullivan and Keefe families for sharing their lovely home with us — thank you!

A perfect place to be

The house is beautifully situated, with a wide view of the bay and the sea beyond. We spent many hours sitting on the deck, under a big umbrella, simply enjoying the view and the air, but we also walked to the nearby beach - a 5 minute walk from the house. Inside the house all the rooms are lovely and comfortable with sofas in every room so our large family could spread out with readers in one space, tv watchers in another, game players in another. Julie, our host, was always gracious and helpful whenever we needed help, but otherwise left us alone. It could not have been nicer!!

Fantastic vacation

I’ll start by saying Julie is wonderful. She was wonderful to work with! The house is amazing. Being on the inlet was perfect and having the ospreys right there was an extra special treat. We were a group of 15 and we fit easily. The kayaks and paddle board were enjoyed by everyone’s the deck was our go to place as the table easily fit us all. We were close enough to town to walk or bike; Uber was also a great alternative for those that want to ride. It didn’t hurt that the weather was perfect, but even if it wasn’t Julie had lots of games etc if we had to be inside.
