About this property
Walk to Town & Water from your PERFECT SUMMER COTTAGE
JULY AND AUGUST: turnover day is Monday ----------------------------- We'd love to welcome you into our lovely 500 sq. ft. guest cottage on the outskirts of the historic town of Vineyard Haven. It's located on a peaceful, residential hilltop and features its own fenced in yard w a bbq grill, seating area, outdoor shower (an Island must-have!) and a brand new fire pit with Adirondack chairs. Relax with a book, or a meal and a bottle of wine - you can even work out there - the fast internet has great reach.
When you first walk into the cottage you are in the charming, tastefully decorated main part of the cottage, which features a living room with open kitchen, and also a bathroom off to your left. The wonderfully designed kitchen has everything you'll need for cooking all of your meals (unless you hit some of the wonderful Island restaurants!) including coffee maker (with re-washable gold filter), a full array of pots and pans, and even some pantry items like oil/vinegar, salt/pepper, and some other spices. The living room area has a brand new Crate and Barrel sofa (with queen sofa bed), a lovely comfie chair, and a large wall-mounted flat screen TV with cYouTube TV and access to streaming channels.
Through the living room is the cozy master bedroom, which has a very comfortable full sized bed, dresser, end table, roomy closet and has a range of all brand new pillows of different feels, to suit your needs.
Once in that bedroom, there is a door on your left that goes to the twin room. It is a clever little room that overlooks the yard, with a built-in single daybed, shelving, desk and small stacked washer and dryer. * Please note: This twin room can only be accessed through the bedroom.
Quiet hours are 9pm to 9am.
The cottage is situated high on a hilltop behind the main house, and is close proximity to everything- town, shops & restaurants, playground, sports fields, beaches. A 7 minute walk down the hill to the Lagoon and boat rentals where you can rent kayaks, and another 10 min farther to learn to windsurf! Only 1 mile to Owen Little Park Beach, and 1 1/2 miles to Eastville Beach. A true pleasure. The newest addition is the amazing Martha's Vineyard Museum, which is literally a 3 minute walk.
For children, walk to Veterans's Memorial Park and play ball, swing or fly a kite. For the adults, walk to the lagoon and kayak, or walk downtown to great shops and restaurants and stroll the historic homes.
*On the property is an additional 4BR home, that is also for rent. Ask us about it!

Very clean well stocked cottage with easy access to anything in the area, including restaurants and shopping .Good TV and WiFi . easy to communicate with the owner.
Nice little cottage with everything you need. Probably best for a couple or family of 3. Walked to town, little beach nearby and easy access to ferries and other towns. Perfect little bungalow
Cute cottage with everything we needed, including a nice backyard. Close to shops and restaurants. Very clean and had all appliances and cooking supplies if we wanted to stay in and cook at home. Higly recommend.
Perfect for our first trip to the Vineyard! We had a great time staying here and really appreciated borrowing a pack n play for our little one. The cottage is adorable and it was nice to have the yard. Hosts were very responsive with any questions during our stay. Thanks again!
The cottage was well appointed and clean. My daughter and I were comfortable. Just wish they provided full linen service, wasn’t too much of a bother, but that would have made the visit complete. The location is stellar. You can walk to food and shopping with ease.
Everything was perfect! Very close to town and surrounding towns. Very clean!! Quiet neighborhood. We were glad that we did bring the car. Enjoyed two days of golf and rented e-bikes for one day. Fall is the perfect time to visit the vineyard. All the crowds were gone. The hosts were very responsive to our emails.

Fantastic MV experience!
We had just a short stay at the guest house but it was great. The house was clean and nicely decorated, very inviting. Even though it is small our family of four did just fine. The outdoor shower is a nice touch! The kitchen was well equipped and allowed us to prepare breakfast each day, one of the things I love about staying in VRBO/HomeAway properties. We love the island and will definitely consider another longer visit in the future!

Vineyard Haven Heaven
We had an amazing stay! The cottage is cute and we liked the town of Vineyard Haven. East beach was perfect for our children to play, catch crabs and explore. This will not be our last time visiting Martha’s Vineyard.

Charming and eco-friendly
Sharon was such an amazing and thoughtful host. From the coolers to the bath soaps, she thought of everything to make our stay as effortless and enjoyable as possible. I loved the informative little note cards placed around the house, giving tidbits about the island and sustainability on the island!

Cottage Living Is Great!
Loved the location - close to the hustle and bustle but not in the middle of it. Don't worry about size - it was perfect! I stayed with 3 other women. The place was fully supplied from sheets to cooking utensils and beach chairs and umbrellas. Yes I loved it!

Great visit, great little cottage
We really enjoyed our visit to the cottage. We had our two children with us and the fold out couch for them was great and the queen size bed for us was was great as well. Definitely tiny but if you are not planning on hanging out in cottage and venturing around the island instead this place is perfect. Sharon and Jenn respond quickly to any requests and were helpful with any issues we had. Location was great too!

Very clean and well stocked with the basic essentials.
Adorable cottage. Owner very accommodating and easy to work with. One recommendation for improvement, would be a new mattress and preferable a queen size. The mattress is saggy and we often found ourselves being forced into the middle because it has loss its support.

Cozy, quiet and very comfortable- adorable setup!
Lovely! Sharon makes sure her properties are well maintained - everything you need is provided. Sharon is a great hostess and makes sure you are welcomed! We had such a great time last year that we decided to try this property in Vineyard Haven. It was quiet and very comfortable. We were close to restaurants, shopping and beaches. We look forward to next year!

Perfect Vineyard Getaway
We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Hilltop Cottage. The Cottage itself is smartly designed and provided enough room to accommodate our party of 4 adults, a baby, and 25lb dog. Conveniently located to Main Street Vineyard Haven, the cottage was a 10-min walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. More property highlights include a fenced-in yard, patio space and grill, outdoor shower, and a fire pit. In addition to the cottage itself, the owner, Sharon, is wonderful to rent from. She is responsive, organized, and absolutely lovely. We highly recommend the Hilltop Cottage for your next trip to the Vineyard, and hope to return ourselves next summer!

Gorgeous Cottage for a perfection vaca on MV
My family of 4 stayed in this cottage for our first trip for Martha's Vineyard and I have to say it exceeded all of our expectations. We have a 4 yo and an almost 2 yo. The 4 yo slept in the twin bed and we brought a pack n play for the little one. The cottage has all the amenities you would hope for (minus a microwave) and it is all gorgeous and new. Great out door space and close to everything. We were able to bike to many places and were only a short drive from all the gorgeous beaches. Can't wait to come back next year!!

Wonderful, Cozy spot close to sights and sounds
Cozy little place, wonderfully appointed. Easy access to Vineyard Haven, too about a 12 minute walk to get breakfast and to the Stop and Shop for snacks. Everything you could want in a neat little package. From free wifi to a fire pit, could not have been happier with our stay.
This property is perfect for families and friends to rest, relax, and entertain in a stress free comfortable setting.
What makes this property unique
My favorite time to walk down to the lagoon (a 3 minute walk down a hill) is in the late afternoon when all the birds are flying low above the beach grasses, and lighting upon the pilings. The sun at that time of day is spectacular over the water. Walking out Hines Point (around the lagoon) is a total pleasure, and renting kayaks from there is as fun and peaceful as life gets. Of course, the short walk to town, the restaurants and shops is perfect any time of day, and is great for kids, as you can cut right through the playground and park on the way if you don't walk by the lagoon.
The house and cottage are some of the rare Vineyard homes that are elevated on hill, and the breezes are wonderful! The cottage is decorated in a light and summery perfectly relaxing way!
