About this property
Ocean Views: Every Room - Walk to Ocean Beach, Dog Friendly
The last week of August is now open after a recent cancellation. Excellent ferry reservations are available.
Magnificent ocean views from every room! Privacy. Short walk to spectacular, sandy Philbin Beach entrance to the Gay Head Beach. This beach is not at all crowded, open only to people staying in our small town. You can freely take long strolls in both directions including under the Gay Head Cliffs.
We have three acres with sweeping lawn to large natural pond: frogs, ducks, deer, natural water lilies, turtles, and an occasional otter are among the residents.
Lovely two-story home: Our house has upstairs and downstairs decks. Separate dining room seats six and fully equipped kitchen. On the first floor there is a bedroom with King bed and one bedroom with two Twins. Upstairs there is one bedroom with a Queen bed and one with two double futons; that room can also function as a family room. The house is post and beam construction with plaster walls. Three tiled full baths. One with a two person whirlpool tub, one with a tub/shower and one with a stand alone shower for easy access. Large walk-in outdoor shower. High-speed Comcast cable Wi-Fi, Air-conditioners.
Aquinnah Beaches:
Philbin: Short walk from the house (eight minutes- toes in the water) to Gay Head Beach. Philbin Beach is the entrance, to a sandy beautiful ocean beach - just for the town residents of this tiny town. Gay Head Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches of the world, with amazing cliffs, splendid sand dunes and you can walk for miles in both directions. Walk from Philbin Beach to the Gay Head Cliffs, a national landmark.
The town of Aquinnah is a peaceful town with very little traffic. Bicycling is common on all the roads, especially along the views of our beaches. On the south shore the beach faces the Atlantic Ocean and Noman's Island. The North shore has wonderful beaches on the Vineyard Sound and Menemsha Pond.
Menemsha pond beach, at Lobsterville, is a five minute drive - a wonderful, all natural flat-water beach for children and swimmers.
West Basin Beach: Also five minutes away is the West Basin Beach on the Vineyard Sound, a long stretch of sand and dunes, overlooking the Elizabeth Islands.
Our property has wonderful privacy, no house is visible from ours. We have three acres, a sweeping lawn that leads down to our natural pond. Spectacular ocean views from downstairs and upstairs. You can enjoy the starlit sky at night and the sunrises and sunsets from the East and West.
Martha's Vineyard has an extraordinary number of long walking trails and nature preserves, golf courses, movie theaters, restaurants, book stores, beaches, and riding trails. There is every kind of swimming opportunity, kayaking, body surfing, surfing, biking, birding, fishing, and boating.

About the host
Hosted by Kathleen Cameron
My husband and I live on the island in Chilmark. I am a retired art teacher. I taught in the Chilmark School and the West Tisbury School. My husband and son run Parry Windows and Doors, in Chilmark. We raised our son and daughter on Martha's Vineyard. We live about 8 miles from the house.
Why they chose this property
(The last week of August 2024 is now open after a cancelation. Ferry boat reservations, with excellent arrival and departure times, are available. )
This property is very close to the Atlantic Ocean and the water views from every room are amazing. We have three acres and that offers a wonderful sense of privacy. I inherited the land with a small summer cottage from my parents, who bought it back in 1963. While the property was very inexpensive when they bought it, we realized that with the ocean views it was incredibly special and so well worth rebuilding it and creating a two story year round home. The location is just amazing: the view of the ocean is wonderful. The house is right near one of the most beautiful, Atlantic Ocean beaches anywhere, Philbin. It is a 7-8 minute walk from the house, toes in the water. The historical landmark, Gay Head Cliffs and Light House are just to the right and you can walk for miles in either direction; to the left are magnificent sand dunes. There is no development along this beach, only nature. One of my favorite aspects of our beach is the perfect gradual entrance into the water. It is not too steep and still it doesn't take forever to get in. I have always felt that this beach has the best swimming/surf on the island. The ocean stays warm enough to swim well into the fall. Aquinnah has wonderful beaches on the Vineyard Sound side as well; passes are left at the house for walk-on to Philbin and parking at those North Shore beaches and also parking at the top of the Gay Head Cliffs. all the Fall and Spring walks along all those beaches, and our walking trails, are especially memorable.

What makes this property unique
While the house is a well heated year round house with cable TV and wifi, it always feels like a beach house - the bedrooms have painted wooden floors, perfect for bare feet. You can see the waves, hear the sea and feel the ocean breeze. The large mahogany windows were designed to take advantage of the views from every location, upstairs and downstairs. They look out toward the ocean and across the expansive lawn toward our natural pond. The house is sunny, cheerful and comfortable. It has two decks, upstairs and downstairs, 3 bedrooms and a family room that can convert with privacy into another bedroom. With our pond nearby the birding is amazing as the islands are on a migration path and our own pond attracts many species of birds as well as ducks, otters, turtles... Aquinnah is so natural that birds find wild vineyard grapes and every kind of berry to feast upon. We try to keep binoculars and birding books and a feeder at the house. We are at the end of the little road on three acres, so there is a wonderful sense of privacy. Walking the short distance from our house to the ocean is just a wonderful experience.
