About this property
Sparkling Waterfront Gem, Spectacular Views, Private Beach, Great for Kayaks
Enjoy spectacular lake and ocean views, amazing sunsets and your own private beach year-round. This clean and comfortable, family-friendly house looks west across Lake Tashmoo and towards sunsets across the Vineyard Sound to the Elizabeth Islands. Absolutely lovely in summertime, the property offers special value to visitors attending Island weddings, family get-togethers and reunions of old friends in the ''shoulder months'' before and after peak season at seasonally lower costs. Available year-round.
COVID-19 Response - The house is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before each guest arrives. Our cleaning service uses only cleaning equipment and supplies we provide to insure they don’t bring in equipment or cleaning materials from other locations. Beds are made up with fresh linens, and we provide fresh towels and beach towels for all guests. All contact surfaces, including tables, counter tops and door handles are carefully wiped down with sanitizing solution before you move in.
With a new house built in 1999 on land our grandfather bought 100 years ago, ''Macy Tashmoo Pond'' is a cherished family treasure. Built on one and a half acres of prime lakefront just off Herring Creek Road, the house is only a mile from downtown Vineyard Haven. Featuring new appliances, high-speed cable service, a large parking lot and two-car garage, you will have all the convenience of home in a uniquely beautiful and private location. Enjoy convenient access to everything the Martha's Vineyard has to offer, or just relax and 'get away from it all.'
Relax in the sunshine on the main deck or in the shade of the covered upstairs balcony while you take in the spectacular views and feel the cool breeze coming off the lake. Walk about 50 yards from the house for kayaking, sailing, clamming or a pleasant swim in the lake. Or walk .3 miles to Wilfrid's Pond Beach or .7 miles to Lake Tashmoo Town Beach. Mink Meadows Golf Club is also within walking distance (.9 mile).
The calm waters of 270-acre Lake Tashmoo are great for kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. If you don't have your own, Wind's Up in Vineyard Haven rents a variety of watercraft with convenient and affordable delivery and pickup to and from the house.
We installed brand-new energy-efficient kitchen appliances (range, refrigerator and dishwasher) and a new washer and dryer in 2019. A second refrigerator on the lower level provides extra storage for food and beverages. The house is fully equipped with all the cookware, tableware and silverware you will need. Cushioned window seats, books, toys and games are available to enhance your stay. This is our home and we look forward to sharing it with you and your family.
Amenities include premium cable TV with Netflix, high-speed internet and WiFi and telephone service with unlimited domestic calling. There are flat-screen televisions in the primary bedroom and the living room. The house is equipped with ample USB charging ports for your personal devices.
Sleeping accommodations include a king bed in the primary bedroom and queen beds in the other two bedrooms. All linens and towels are provided. Ocean breezes keep the temperature mild, but fans and central heat are available if needed.
There is a full house back-up power generator in the event of a power outage. Two Weber barbecue grills are available for your use.
Grab bars on the shower and bathtub, a first floor bedroom and a ramp to the entrance make the house accessible.
Massachusetts and local taxes of 11.7% apply to all rentals.

About the host
Hosted by The Macy Family
We are are third-generation owners of this property purchased by our grandfather 100 years ago. It was passed along to us by our parents in 2016. It's a cherished family treasure and we are happy to share it with you.
Why they chose this property
A direct descendant of Thomas Macy, who first settled on Nantucket Island around 1640, our grandfather Paul Macy built a rustic summer cottage on this property a hundred years ago. Our parents Eliot "Bud" Macy and his wife Susie replaced it with a new year-round home in 1999 and lived there for the remainder of their lives. We have been coming to Martha's Vineyard for more than sixty years and have passed our love for the Island along to our children and grandchildren. The Macy family is delighted to share this family treasure with you and hope you will enjoyit as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
Gorgeous views of the sunset across the lake from the kitchen, dining room and upstairs bedrooms., with a private beach right on the property. Private & quiet, but just a short drive from Island attractions. Within walking distance of Lake Tashmoo Town Beach, Wilfrid's Pond Beach and Mink Meadow golf club.
