The reviews say it all. We are a 5-star property because we surprise and delight our renters with not only a great home but also the details that matter: hot tub, gas grill, and intuitive use of the house (Every switch, drawer and shelf is labeled!), coffee start service, seasonal flowers, and sparking clean home cared for by our long-time cleaning staff. The most common comment we get is that the house is actually better than the photos allow!

We are also 35-year veterans of the vacation rental market. Our family built its first home in Edgartown, MA in 1987, and my mother taught me the business. My husband has a degree in hospitality from the Honors College at the University of Houston (Go Coogs!), so you can imagine how we take care of the necessary details. Even if you do not choose our home, we recommend you ask your hosts how long they have been in the rental business. It makes a difference when you have a veteran

Our custom-build home provides beautiful water views of Lagoon Pond, and yet the tough winds of the open sea are more rare, since the house is protected by the lagoon and the bluff it sets on. Surrounded by a protected forest called Land Bank and Sheriff's Meadow, this property is extremely private and offers easy access to miles of hiking trails and pristine waters. Enter the home from the covered porch; the main level features an open floor plan, high ceilings in the living areas - open to the dining room and kitchen, where large windows frame the Lagoon. Sleeps up to 8. Outdoor shower!

So many New England homes can be TIGHT - Tight driveways, tight rooms... Not The Bellevue! This home can accommodate 6 cars in the double driveway and has a flow about it where you probably will not bump into anyone in your party. And the patio is fit for a large family/group to enjoy.

We also tend to the house every quarter, so we are constantly updating towels, dishes, glass ware, and sundries that we provide such as laundry detergent. When we are not there, our cleaners serve as our eyes and ears, so we replenish quickly.

Have you ever stayed at a house with radiant floors? It's one of the reasons we have so many cold-month renters. It's a very well insulated and dry house with heated floors in many of the rooms. Lovely on your feet as you walk around.

Like to go for walks and hikes? Head out the back door, down the trail and walk through the paths of the Sherriff's Meadow. You will spot wild turkeys and birds galore.

And the view is fit for the Obamas. In fact, they have seen this view, having attended conservancy and arts fund raisers at the house next door.

Went to bring in my 50th with a few friend girls. It was the best spot. Fully stocked, everything we could possibly need. Trail walk behind the home was awesome.

A MV gem!
Despite some crazy weather, we had a great time exploring Martha's Vineyard. This home was perfect location to get to any part of the island. Loaded with amenities, including the well stocked kitchen. Can accommodate 8 people with no problem. Host was super-responsive and pro-active. Will definitely plan a mid-summer vacation back to this home some year!

About the host

Hosted by James Lindsay

Host profile image
Welcome! The Bellevue marks our third Martha's Vineyard property in our collection, and we are happy to share it with our guests. We just purchased this home in Sept 2022, and we are excited to share this luxury, water view home with you! I have been renting on the Vineyard since 1987, when our family built its first home. Since then, my husband and I have purchased two additional homes, including The Bellevue.

Why they chose this property

The Bellevue has one of the most private, scenic water view locations on the island. The home was built by an engineer, with flow and comfort in mind. Now you can enjoy the view from the new hot tub!

What makes this property unique

Water View
Private Beach access (not a swimmable beach). It's used for kayaking, paddle boarding, and boating.
We provide kayaks!
