About this property

Spectacular Ocean View Home w/ Private Beach & tennis, Dog friendly

Bring the kids and dogs for a fun relaxing stay in the secluded Aquinnah end of Martha's Vineyard. Our home is rustic and decorated in a "shabby-chic" style with many antiques mixed with Pottery Barn. It is located out at the far and secluded end of the island, so if rustic and quiet with an AMAZING WATER VIEW is what you are looking for, then you've found the right house! Newly renovated kitchen, fully stocked with all the amenities and windows all around to see 180 degree view of ocean! 4 bedrooms (2 w/ queens, 1 w/ 2 twins, 1 w/ 3 twins & trundle), 1 full bath upstairs, 1 half bath downstairs, outdoor hot shower, and private tennis court. Enjoy the private beach just a 3-minute walk down a grassy path and stairs where you can roast marshmallows on a campfire, fish for blues and stripers, and swim in the crystal clear water, or simply relax on the deck overlooking amazing sunsets over the ocean.

Keywords: Huge deck, beautiful sunsets, amazing water view, outdoor shower, private secluded beach, private tennis court, dogs encouraged!

Month at Lighthouse Rd

Location was perfect for us. Away from all Island activity. Beautiful views of water and sunsets. Kitchen and full bath mostly updated and worked well. The house and furniture are well worn and could benefit from some updating and refreshing, however, the location and views were so perfect everyone enjoyed the time and that wasn't an issue. Be aware of ticks esp. if you bring your pet. Our dog loved running around the large property. It was an awesome month !!! The Outermost Inn nearby is a fabulous dining experience.

Very dated, smelly, uncomfortable and NO HEAT!

this property has a wonderfully secluded location with lovely views with bedroom blackout blinds, but that’s about it. the kitchen is GROSS/Dirty/moldy spots and very dated and the furniture is from the 1930s and has springs that poke you in the butt when you sit down. There is miserable lighting that prevents you from actually being about to see anything in the evening. The house smells like your grandmas’ house… like dust to say the least. The beds are squeaky and very hard. the bath linens are a mis-mash of multicolored towels with bleach stains all over them. Further, i specifically chose this property because i wanted head in october… but the heat didn’t work and the inside temp was 61 degrees all weekend!!! And the last item, the property doesn’t lock… when you leave, you either need to leave the place unlocked or take any valuables with you… totally unacceptable!

Beautiful and quiet on Martha’s Vineyard

Location was beautiful and scenic, very quiet. Our grandchildren had a wonderful time at the private beach, and venturing into more busy spots when we wanted to. Some suggestions for the owners include adding mini-splits (air conditioning). The house was very damp the entire week except for one day. Nothing really dried out and the bedsheets were damp. We didn’t wash them everyday due to the message to try to conserve water. Due to the humidity, all the furniture was fairly wet too which made it uncomfortable to sit on. Updating the kitchen would be great too. The drawers for towels were very musty and I ended up washing all of them and pkacing them in the small hutch. Again, we had a great time as a family, we believe with a few more amenities, the house would be absolutely perfect! The McKeagneys

Quintessential Martha’s Vineyard

We had an amazing two week stay in Aquinnah at this old school beach home. Away from the hustle and bustle, the large open home and vast property was a perfect locale for our family to convene for some island fun and relaxation. The home is vintage in style with space to spread out and it comfortably accommodated our multi-generational group and family dog. The 1.5 bathrooms are updated and the outdoor shower was key after a day at the beach. Much of the kitchen is in original form and more rustic in style but met our needs along with the grill which got much use. The location of this home cannot of be beat: a large yard for corn hole, football, and dog romping; a welcoming deck for relaxing and dining with sweeping ocean views and stunning sun rises and sunsets; Gay Head Lighthouse visible from the property and a quick walk down the street; a winding wooded path to a beach on site great for fishing, walks and fire pits and Lobsterville Beach five minutes away by car and easily accessed with owner provided beach pass for swimming, shell hunting or just relaxing on miles of sandy beach. The well known Outermost Inn a few doors down which we enjoyed on our final evening for dinner. Some trip highlights were a clam bake to go from Bill Smith’s, daily fishing at our private beach, s’mores in a beachside fire pit, croissants and cheese from the Grey Barn Farm, and quality family time and fun at this quintessential Island home. Thanks for sharing your family home with us!

Great Family Reunion Spot!

Amazing location high on a hill overlooking the ocean. A bit windier than we expected. Our dogs loved the very large, private yard - lots of room to run without fear of getting too close to the road or invading the neighbors' yards. Great porch!

Absolutely gorgeous!

My family and I stayed here for a week in July and we all agreed it was one of our favorite vacations to date. Seated high on a hill overlooking the ocean, the property is absolutely gorgeous! The large deck was perfect for summer evenings. It is a little bit of a hike to the private beach (we had a two and four year old with us and the stairs are pretty steep) but it was well worth it. Lobsterville beach was close by and easier for us to bring the little kids. The expansive yard was great for our dog to run around (her first time off leash). In hindsight the only thing I would do differently is bring a fishing pole. It was a great vacation and the house was well worth the money. I would love to come back again.

Just idyllic - magical memories made here!

We couldn't believe our eyes when we arrived for our holiday - the children jumped out of the car in their excitement before we'd even parked up! The photos can't quite convey how wonderful this place is. The house is positioned in the most spectacular, idyllic location, literally surrounded by views of the ocean spread out below. Spacious wildflower gardens and orchards give the impression you are on your own country estate - an impression enhanced by the pretty winding path down to the private beach. We all loved the atmosphere of the house - it's cosy, comfortable and is both stylishly decorated and full of history - it feels well-loved by its generations of owners. The bedrooms are all fresh and bright and you just can't get over waking up to that view each morning! We explored the beaches, biked to the mouth-watering 'Orange Peel Bakery', walked into Aquinnah, went swimming and fishing, barbecued on the beach - we just didn't feel like getting into the car, and hardly needed to (although towns like Mememsha were certainly worth the short drive). In short, it was a simply magical holiday away from it all, with something for everyone. The children are pestering us to return - we don't need any persuading!

Wonderful family home

This was a wonderful family home with amazing views and very comfortable. The family who owns this house is obviously very proud of their house. It was perfect for our needs and I would love to go back. I absolutely do not have any complaints and the family was so helpful and easy to work with. It is also a great location in the most beautiful part of the world.

Walk to the famous Outermost Inn for dinner, cook hotdogs and s'mores on a campfire down at our private beach (just please disassemble the fire when you are done!) Play some tennis on our private court. Let your dogs roam around the property and down to the beach!
