About Carolyn Milazzo Murphy
The Chilmark House has been in my husband's family since 1974. Owned by four children of a Vineyard native, the house has always been a family retreat. My mother-in-law always greeted us with heaping plates of fresh pasta after getting in on late ferries in the 1980s, and fresh swordfish from Menemsha was often sizzling on the grill. Just a mile from the beach, the house is a great place to unwind after a day of body-surfing or beach combing.

Peaceful--and with a private beach
Three adults and two children were very comfortable in this pleasant, spacious house, with its wonderful deck and
outdoor dining table. And access to a private beach meant we could go whenever we wanted and avoid the crowds. Making our plans was easy, as the owner answered all our questions very promptly. The other reviewers mention some of the great things to do in Chilmark. All true. One of my favorite was sitting on the deck of this quiet house in the early morning and revelling in the peacefulness.
Up-island Charmer
We've been traveling to the vineyard for years. We decided to rent thus property up island and it fulfilled all of our desires. Sunrise every morning was spectacular to compliment our coffeee on the spacious deck. We explored up island places to eat including the Home Port, Chilmark Tavern and the Outermost Inn. All of them were wonderful. The beach was awesome..... Peaceful, private and spectacular. This is definitely a repeat property for us
Spectacular Long Weekend
A bunch of friends and I stayed at this secluded little gem in Chilmark for a long weekend. It was divine. The pictures do not do credit to its coziness and comfort. The wrap around porch was a delightful spot for dinner. The huge lawn was ideal for the many lawn games. And the beach. Did I mention the beach? We got passed the locked gate and there wasn't a soul in sight. We had the entirety of Hancock Beach to ourselves. I definitely hope to make a second trip out of it.
Great stay over Labor Day weekend
A group of eight of us adults stayed here over Labor Day weekend and had an excellent experience. When we arrived the house was clean and well stocked with towels, dishes etc. It's fairly basic, don't expect a lot of frills, but definitely did the job for a big group. The setting was secluded, quiet and pretty and we enjoyed eating breakfast on the outdoor deck and using the grill and outdoor shower. The best part? A key to a beautiful private beach (albeit with big waves) with hardly anyone else around. The best beaches are otherwise impossible and/or expensive to access on MV, so this is a major asset. My only suggestion would be to add the option of a few portable fans -- it was very humid when we were there and a bit sticky at night. Note that it's not near any of the major towns and you definitely need a car if you're staying there, but I prefer that more rural part of the island anyway (don't miss the nearby Farmers' Market on Saturdays). The owner was helpful and easy to communicate with beforehand. Thanks for a great stay, we hope to return!

Located within one mile of the Yoga Barn, the best spot on the Vineyard to practice yoga (with the exception of the beach). Also located within a short drive of several hiking trails, Alley's General Store and the West Tisbury Library and Farmer's Market.
