About this property

Walk to Beach, Kayak from Backyard Dock, Ocean & Squibnocket Pond Views

Round-trip Transferable Ferry Tickets Available for July 4-11 and July 11-18!

Perfect for a family or group of friends who are looking for less than a 2-minute walk to the beach and kayak from the backyard dock. This 4-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home, sleeps 8.

Our home has an open living area that brings the stunning vistas inside, features gorgeous water views of the beach that you can walk to from every room, and includes keyed access to a private beach right down the road. We installed AC in September 2024 to make your stay even more comfortable. The dining area and master bedroom open onto the spacious deck. The fully equipped kitchen faces the ocean and is adjacent to the dining area, which has seating for 8.

The indoor and outdoor areas are wonderful for entertaining or just relaxing in a magnificent, yet peaceful setting. Spacious yard for games and running around when you get back from the beach or town. Once you've experienced the breathtaking water views and sunsets from our 3-acre property, you'll want to come back year after year.

Unique beach options include access to:
• Squibnocket Beach (less than a 2-minute walk)
• Our association's private beach at Zack's Cliff (6 minutes by car, key to gated beach is provided)
• Chilmark's renowned Lucy Vincent Beach (7 minutes by car)

Squinocket Pond access:
• Right in our backyard, you have access to Squibnocket Pond
• Three kayaks (two singles and a tandem), canoe, and rowboat
• Paddles/oars, lifejackets, cushions, and gear are available in our paddle house steps

The brand-new dock on Squibnocket Pond is just steps from the house and has three kayaks (two singles and a tandem), a canoe, and a rowboat for a brief paddle or more extensive exploration on the Pond. Paddles/oars, life jackets, cushions, and gear are available in the boat house close to the dock.

Walk or run the neighborhood country lanes past stone walls, meadows and picturesque Vineyard homes, or follow the path to a private association dock on Quitsa Pond. The natural setting provides a wonderful opportunity to view more than 40 species of birds, including a swan family, ospreys, egrets and herons, as well as other abundant wildlife.

Sleeping options:
• Master bedroom with queen bed and ensuite bath
• Queen bedroom with beach and pond views
• Two bedrooms with two twin beds

The master bedroom has its own stunning views with an ensuite bath, a queen bed, and direct access to the deck. The other three bedrooms are on the opposite side of the open living area and all have ocean views (one queen and two with two twin beds). A full bath and a 1/2 bath are easily accessible from these three rooms.

While this family home is the perfect place to unplug, our high-speed Wi-Fi makes remote work or finding a recipe to go with the fish you picked up from Menemsha painless. The walkout basement has full washer and dryer to make laundry easy during your stay. Plus, we have plenty of room for rainy day activities. At the end of the day, there are tons of games for you to play or lounge on two large couches to watch a movie with a Roku TV and HDMI.

Added Bonus:
• Private Association Dock on Quista Pond
o Access to Menemsha Pond
• Private Keyed Beach Access at Zacks Cliffs
o Few miles down the road in Acquinnah
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Truly a special spot on the Island. I grew up having a house in MV and have vacationed here on and off most of my adult life. The views and location are incredible. The house itself had everything we needed and more.

Relaxing Chilmark Vacation

We had the pleasure of spending three weeks at the Stork's Nest. The home was clean and comfortable with an incredible view. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and an abundance of linens and towels was available. A short drive takes you to Menemsha for lobster and clams on the half shell or to Lobsterville Beach for a long peaceful walk. This is the perfect spot for people who are looking to get away from it all!

A Magical Place

I have been to Storks Nest twice and did not think, the second time could be better than the first, but it was. It's difficult to pin down why. It could be the sound of the ocean as we go to sleep, or waking up and showering outdoors in the early morning sun, or kayaking virtually from our door; it could be the wildlife all around, or the boogie boarding at the beach down the hill, or perhaps even the moonlit walks we enjoyed on the private beach. The home is a mix of charm and practicality with everything we could need, but the magic is where it is located, by a stunning pond and the sea, that you experience throughout the home. It is a place for romance, and a place for family and friends. I am counting down to the next visit.

The Perfect MV Vista

We have been blessed over the years to have spent numerous weeks at the Storks Nest with friends and family. There is not a more beautiful and relaxing location on MV. The cottage is well supplied with everything necessary including extraordinary sunrises and sunsets. We hope to return for years to come.

An Artists vacation

From the Cornish looking driveway to the wide Atlantic Ocean view, Stork's Nest provided seven artists with everything we hoped for. The house had every conceivable household item and gadget including sharp knives, as well as a well stocked basement with washer and drier, work tables, outdoor clothes line and shower. The kitchen is ample, at times we could almost all fit in at once. The bathrooms are ample, and the bedrooms all comfortable and well appointed. Our living, playing, laughing and painting was done mainly under the wabasabi laden wooden ceiling planks and the sweeping deck where we watched nature's varied performances for the most nourishing week of our lives. The body surfing and rock gazing is the best we have ever encountered.

Artists vacation

From the Cornish looking driveway to the wide Atlantic Ocean view, Stork's Nest provided seven women artists with everything we could have wished for. The household provided every conceivable gadget and convenience, thoughtfully stocked necessities such as spices and cooking utensil, and a copious basement with washer direr, tables for crafts, an outdoor shower and fully functional clothes line for fresh sun dried clothing. The bathroom facilities and bedrooms were ample and cozy, but our laughing, playing and painting was mainly done under the unique wabasabi laden ceiling planks and on the sweeping deck, where we watched nature's varied performances for the most nourishing week of our loves. For body surfers and rack gazers, the Chilmark beach is unbeatable.

Best vacation spot we've found

My husband and I stayed here with our 10 month old son, my brother and his girlfriend. The house is comfortable, the view is spectacular and the adventures are endless. We thought about going out to dinner a few times but were unable to find anything with a better view, so we just ordered take out and sat on the deck to eat while enjoying the sunset. The house had more than enough space for all of us without feeling crowded. We loved the private dock with canoes and kayaks for everyone. There was even an infant life jacket and little baby seat to snap in to the middle of the double kayak so we could bring our son out on the pond with us. He was somewhat less thrilled by the experience than we were, but I'm still glad we got to do it! There was a family of swans that ventured into the pond every day to visit us and enough bird watching opportunities to satisfy anyone. We had a wonderful vacation in this house and will definitely choose to stay here again next time we visit Martha's Vineyard.

Far from the crowds

This house worked perfectly for our family. It has a special feel with its clean simple decor, beautiful views, abundant birds and serene relaxing setting far from the tourist crowds. We found lots to see and do in the neighborhood: canoeing from the property's dock around Squibnocket Pond's 600 acres, long walks along Squibnocket Beach a mere 300 yards away, sailing on Menemsha Pond, the famous (and still-operational!) Gay Head Lighthouse, Menemsha fishing village with its yummy seafood takeouts, West Tisbury's several art galleries, Chilmark Chocolates (google it), etc. Pianists will find the piano in need of tuning.

Perfect Vacation Home for All Ages!

We had an amazing experience at the Stork's Nest! The view and deck is incredible, perfect for cocktail hour or reading books at nap time. Our kids, ages 4, 10, and 12 enjoyed boating in the pond, the beautiful beach, and hanging on the outdoor porch. The beds are comfortable, and the family room has amazing natural light and views of the ocean and pond. The kitchen is well-equipped. There is nothing that this house lacked for our family. Even the outdoor shower has amazing views of the ocean and Squibby pond. My senior parents enjoyed the house as well,and it was great having no steps for them to worry about walking up. A perfect home for our three generations!

Most beautiful view of the Island

This house has the most beautiful view of the ocean, pond and spectacular sunsets. My favorite time was having cocktails on the deck and and watching the sunset. We loved the fact you have access to 2 beaches, and the pond in front of the house has a dock and several types of boats. Our grandchildren also liked fishing off the pier and crabbing in Menemsha. There are many activities for all ages on the island. This house is perfect for 2 families with kids, or a family with Grandparents. The master suite with bathroom is separate from the rest of the living area. I would definitely recommend to a friend. There is a booklet in the kitchen that explains everything in the house and how to get places. It was most helpful.
