About this property

Beautiful home, peaceful setting, walk to the beach.

This spacious home is located in a private woodland, just a short walk to Lobsterville beach. The house is welcoming, well maintained and thoroughly cleaned. The kitchen is fully equipped for all of your cooking and dining needs. The kitchen lounge provides a gathering place while preparing meals. The separate living room is designed for cozy movie nights. The four bedrooms sleep up to 8 guests and with 3 full bathrooms, no one will be waiting long to shower. Two decks and a large yard have southern exposure, perfect for an afternoon BBQ. Even with a full house, there are many areas to find a quiet nook for relaxing.

Special permit parking is provided for: West Basin and Lobsterville beaches - gentle swimming spots perfect for watching the sunset and fishing for bass/bluefish minus the crowds; Menemsha pond and the Herring Creek - shallow and warm swimming areas ideal for families with small children, and convenient access to water sports; the Cliffs of Aquinnah - a “must visit” with spectacular views of the iconic cliffs and lighthouse, gift shops and dining. Access to private Philbin beach for surfing, colorful clay cliffs and a near-by clothing-optional area, is available with the purchase of a sticker from the Aquinnah town hall.

Private wooded accommodating home
The owner, Leah, has thought of everything you'd need while away from your own home! We like to explore so with her notebook with ideas and access to lawn chairs, coolers, beach towels and umbrellas...we headed out prepared for our summer day. She's thought of everything so you can just enjoy those precious family moments!

Gorgeous house, Perfectly Equipped for an Amazing Vacation!
Our recent stay at Leah's house in Aquinnah was delightful. The thought, detail and planning in this house is superb. Tranquility and peacefulness immediately greets you here. The home is situated on a quiet dead end street a short walk to Lobsterville beach, which is on the bay side and perfect for kids. We had no difficulty parking at the beach or obtaining a pass to nearby Philbin beach, which is also spectacular but more difficult lugging the stuff required for a day at the beach with the kids. The floor plan in the house is large and open with amazing trees, great landscaping and a unique lovely outdoor shower situated 40 feet from the house under another beautiful tree. Oh and by the way look out the kitchen window for a great view of the frog pond, sit on the second story deck for some morning coffee or peep the perfectly placed clothesline. All wonderful! Kitchen was equipped with everything you need to create fabulous meals from nearby Menemsha fish market including great mussels, and fresh lobsta. Upstairs are two baths and two great three bedrooms. Fight your friends over the porch or master bedroom with whirlpool master bath. The beds were also very comfortable and spacious. No complaints with anything. Plenty of fresh linens. Definitely a bit away from the craziness of the island making it more peaceful. Other highlights included enjoying a breakfast sandwich and coffee on the front porch of the Chilmark Country Store, going to dinner at the Outermost Inn and catching amazing sunsets at the cliffs. Massachusetts is where it's at and this spot is a gem. Leah was very accommodating and even found a unicorn we left behind and sent it to us. Thank you for all the love you put into this house and for allowing us to stay there!

Home Sweet Home!
I can honestly say I wish I could live in this house full time! It was exactly as advertised and even more. Very comfortable, spacious, sunny and so quiet. It was the most relaxing holiday our family took for a long time. Minutes away from the beach and Menemsha, home of Larsen's fish market and it's amazing selection of fresh seafood. The owner was very welcoming and full of great recommendations. Do not hesitate to book this house, you will also feel at home :)

Lovely Home in a Peaceful Setting
After spending a lively and chaotic week with extended family in Vineyard Haven, we were looking forward to a more peaceful week in Aquinnah with our immediate family. All of our expectations were fulfilled. The house was exactly as advertised, charming with a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. We easily walked to Lobsterville Beach and biked to Philbin and Menemsha. We definitely plan to return.

A wonderful summer retreat
This is a very comfortable, well-maintained, spotless, spacious house with an extremely well-equipped kitchen and wonderful art in a very quiet setting. Our only regret was that we booked it for only one week.
