We stayed here as a four-generation group of seven. The house accommodated us very nicely (more on that below). The location provides quick access to Menemsha and the Chilmark store (bonus!)
The house itself is endlessly fascinating: the design, the art . . . and the artifacts! Beach stones, shells, bones and fossils on display; the house feels like it is the result of a lifetime of collecting precious things.
The house was laid out perfectly for us. The master is at one end of the house, while the other two bedrooms and bath on the first level are at the opposite side of the house with a pocket door to add privacy. The additional bedrooms downstairs were perfect for our grandkids (10 and 13).
The opposing decks provide a sunny ocean view on one side and a more shaded, garden space on the other. Plantings and water lilies in bloom add to the sense of tranquility on this side.
The kitchen is beyond well stocked. It has everything you could possibly need for utensils, equipment, dishes and serveware. And the owner does a great job with written information for renters, not only for general house topics, but also where to find things in the house.
The younger generations loved the access to the private beach with parking. They frequented it daily, if only for an after-dinner swim on days that they traveled further afield. Please note that the road to the beach requires something more than a family sedan; your SUV and attentive driving will get you there without a problem.
We were given local numbers for both the owner and the caretaker in case we needed anything, but the need didn't arise.
