First of all, be aware that this house is on the very far end of the island, in Aquinnah, about a 35 minute car ride from Edgartown. If you want to be near shops and restaurants, then this is not the place for you. If, however, you want peace, unspoiled natural beauty and solitude, then this house is a great choice.
Also: be aware that the photo on the website is deceptiveâthere is no significant ocean viewâthat photo was taken with a powerful zoom lens. It is possible to walk to a perfect beachâit is about a 15 minute walk, which takes away the need for parking, which would be a hassle on summer weekends.
The house is lovelyâbedrooms are ample with comfortable bedding, there is a nice screened porch for eating, and a lovely deck, with some nice Adirondack chairs, overlooking the woods in which the house is located. In fact, the home is surrounded by woods, which, to us, was a huge attractionâjust beautiful and serene. Best of all, the house is very well stocked with everything you might possibly need. Another plus is the owner, Jeff Okun, who is very accessible and easy to deal with. If we return to Marthaâs Vineyard, we would certainly stay here again.
