Aquinnah Cliffs Retreat, Walk to Beach!

AVAILABLE JULY 29, 2026 THROUGH AUGUST 15, 2026. We are flexible on the exact days during this period and will give a 10 percent discount on our already low rates for a 14 day rental.

Experience the best of peaceful outdoor living on Martha's Vineyard at Island's End at the Aquinnah Cliffs! Great water views from many rooms and the private wrap-around deck. Enjoy morning coffee on the deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Nomans Land and listening to the waves reach the beach. Then take a 10-15 minute walk to Moshup Beach, or a 5-minute drive to Philbin Beach, where you can spend the day under the spectacular Aquinnah Cliffs or relaxing and surfing at the resident-only Philbin Beach. It's also a short stroll to the Aquinnah Shops for coffee, food, snacks and unique jewelry, clothing, beachy home accents and gifts. In the afternoon, relax on the East side deck with views of Chilmark and Menemsha Hills or on the North back deck where you can enjoy a vista of conservation land to the Vineyard Sound and the Elizabeth Islands in the distance. And of course no trip to Aquinnah would be complete without visiting the Gay Head lighthouse at the Cliffs. Finally, there is no better place on Martha's Vineyard than the Aquinnah Cliffs observation deck to watch the sunset. To top things off, one of the best restaurants on island, the Outermost Inn, is a 5-minute walk away. The bus stop to take you to the rest of the island is that same 5-minute walk away. Other pluses include air conditioning throughout the condo and E/V charging stations at the Cliffs. The property is perfect for a couple, family of 3-4, or 3-4 friends.

Before you book your stay: Aquinnah is a fabulous place and the guests who rent in this area often return yearly because it is so quiet, beautiful and less crowded. However, if you are unfamiliar with Martha’s Vineyard, there are a few things to note before you rent in Aquinnah.
1. The grocery stores are “down island”, about a 35-minute drive away. However, the Gay Head Store, a wonderful small market at the Cliffs, has all your basic needs and fabulous takeout sandwiches and meals. There is also the Cliffhangers takeout restaurant with a great selection of beachside meals and treats - the soft ice cream cones are an island favorite!
2. If you rent a car on island, rentals need to be booked in advance. Island-wide buses pick up and stop at the Cliffs, accommodate bicycles and are only a 5-minute walk from the condo. In 2025 they ran from 6am to 11pm and were free for all passengers so hopefully we'll see that again in 2026.
3. If you want to bring a car on island, there is limited space on the ferries and a car reservation is needed ahead of time. (No reservations are necessary for those not bringing a car on island.) If you need to make car reservations, please check/book a ferry reservation with the Steamship Authority (steamship authority.com) before selecting the dates of your stay. Availability is more likely mid-week and for early morning and late evening ferries. With a two-week stay, we will consider mid-week arrivals and departures.
4. Similarly, the price of flights to and from the island vary significantly depending on the day of the week and whether you are coming to or leaving the island.
