We enjoyed really staying in this house and had a very relaxing two weeks. The open barn-like space was both familiar and comfortable. The kitchen is simply laid out but had everything we needed (pots, pans, and other cookware). Cindy is very quick to respond to questions and is very knowledgable about the island. They have done some renovations recently that were well appreciated, especially the updated master bath. The house is literally 50 feet for a bike path that you can use to bike to Edgartown or around the airport. There are many places to rent a bike if you don’t bring one.
A couple of points about the Vineyard that are worth noting, especially if you haven’t been there before. Making reservations for the ferry can be a trail, especially in high season. Book as soon as you can and if you don’t get the times or dates that you want make sure to put your name on the wait list. The Vineyard is not the most dog friendly place and finding places to walk takes some investigation. Access to the ocean side beaches is vey limited, you can go to the nearby Long Point beach that is run by the Trustees of Reservations, but you’ll need to reserve when you go, or you can drive down to Chappaquiddick. The town of West Tisbury does have a beach at Lambert’s Cove for residents and renters but it’s on the bay side of the island. Lastly, the Vineyard is expensive, we brought as much food as we could fit in our car.
If you’re looking for an uncomplicated and comfortable place to read and cook, I suggest book here.
