Beautiful oasis
We had an incredible trip with this beautiful home as our home base. The property was in a breathtaking part of the island very close to the Aquinnah cliffs. The beach passes included with the rental enabled us to park at local beaches where we spent a lot our time swimming, relaxing, and watching the sunset. The home itself has a fantastic layout with a big open space upstairs including a large deck and bedrooms downstairs. It was amazing for our family of four but would also be very comfortable for additional guests. It was very clean, bright, and organized with extra supplies. We loved it. I would highly recommend this home and we hope to come back soon! Thank you!

Fantastic stay in Aquinnah!
Visiting MV for the first time with my 2 daughters, son-in-law and 2 granddaughters who were attending a wedding. Loved every minute of our time here. We don't want to let the secret out but staying in Aquinnah at the quiet end of the island was beautiul. Jeff was the perfect host. He answered all of our questions quickly and the house suited our family perfectly. One of the best furnished and equipped homes we have ever rented. Would most definitely return again.

Idyllic location + lovely home = great vacation
We've been staying up-island near the cliffs/Philbin beach/lighthouse for 20 years, so this place appealed to us as soon as we saw the listing. We especially loved the deck and the openness of the second floor. The house was clean and comfortable, we had a stack of good books, and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking, so we had only to venture out for a fresh catch from the fish market and fresh produce from the local farmers markets. Daily beach walks and hiking on the miles of trails on the Vineyard's protected lands - plus a few stops at other favorite haunts (like dinner at the Outermost Inn) ... a restful, lovely week in a place we hope to return to.

Absolutely lovely
My husband and I spent three days in this wonderful house on Aquinnah. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, you can listen to the ocean from the deck, there's a water view over the trees, and it's incredibly private but only a short walk to the beach. Jeff was helpful and responsive. I'd be happy to stay here again.

Idyllic Aquinnah
This is a lovely house beautifully situated overlooking the south shore of Martha's Vineyard. The interior decoration is lovely and simple with plenty of space for lounging, including shaded screened in porch and upper deck with ocean view. Great kitchen with new stove and dishwasher - well supplied for those who love to cook. Wonderful outdoor shower and large yard with hammock for peaceful reading in the shade. And on top of all this the owners are really nice and highly responsive to any issues that arise. This is our happy place!

Peaceful, tranquil stay at lovely home
We very much enjoyed our memorable week in this beautiful home. The house is spacious in a wonderful setting, with a magnificent beach nearby in a part of Aquinnah our family was long familiar with. It was nice to be able to both walk and drive to it. To us, this is the peaceful side of the island and always has been and Jeff's house fits right into that aspect of the Vineyard and state of mind we have about this part of the island. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals and we enjoyed the dining room and living room setting. We liked having a big kitchen upstairs. The one part of the house we didn't use for meals was the screen porch on the lower level. That leads me to say, just as an advisory, if someone staying at the house can't go up stairs you would need to make some accommodations to be there. That is made easier because three of the bedrooms and a bathroom are downstairs and meals could be brought downstairs to have on the large table in the screen porch. Whoever is preparing meals would need to be able to get up stairs. We loved staying at the house which we will remember as a great highlight of our trip to the Vineyard and would be grateful for the ability to stay there again. Three of our family members, including our child, were experiencing their very first trip to the Vineyard and having a home like this to stay in during our week there enhanced the experience immessuarbly for all of us.

Great house, Great location
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 deceptive—there is no significant ocean view—that photo was taken with a powerful zoom lens. It is possible to walk to a perfect beach—it is about a 15 minute walk, which takes away the need for parking, which would be a hassle on summer weekends. The house is lovely—bedrooms 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 attraction—just 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 Martha’s Vineyard, we would certainly stay here again.

beautiful home in Aquinnah
Beautiful home within a half mile of Phibin and Aquinnah beaches on a secluded lot. We could hear the crashing waves from the spacious deck. Very clean. No mold issues which occur in so many homes near the water. All appliances and decor top notch. Owner is easily accessible and addresses any questions/concerns promptly. Corinne, Ashford, CT
