About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spacious, Air-Conditioned Home Close to Beach

This beautiful three-story house has room to spread out for up to 10 guests. Situated on 2 acres of beetlebung groves and oak trees, the property offers privacy while being conveniently located within biking distance or a short drive of five stunning ocean and sound beaches.

The house melds modern conveniences with traditional farmhouse style: air conditioning throughout the home, great room with Smart TV and fireplace; fully-equipped modern kitchen, sprawling master bedroom suite with cathedral ceilings and cast-iron whirlpool tub embedded in a platform of Aquinnah sea stones. French doors off the master bedroom lead to a private balcony in the trees.

In addition to two other guest bedrooms, the house features a walk-out lower level with two semi-private sleeping areas, separate entrance, second kitchen and living area, full bath, and patio. A second family, guests or help can have privacy as well as room to spread out.

For ultimate convenience, the home is equipped with wireless high-speed internet and a work area with large desk, office chair, printer and landline phone.

More Features: The fully-equipped kitchen has all the modern conveniences and was designed with function in mind. Lots of counter space for preparing quick meals or elaborate dinners. A large deck off the great room overlooks a completely private yard consisting of native island trees and features Adirondack chairs and side tables, a Weber grill and an inviting chaise lounge.

Cooking spices, linens, bath & beach towels, beach chairs and toys, and laundry detergent are just a few of the things you won't need to bring, as every detail is attended to.

You can sleep up to 10 comfortably with three queen-sized and four twin beds. In addition to four bedrooms, there is a semi-private loft overlooking one of the twin bedrooms, accessible from the second floor. Each of the three levels of the house has a full bath, plus an additional half-bath powder room on the main floor and an outdoor shower with hot and cold water.

Air conditioning, ceiling fans, or Aquinnah breezes—choose your preferred method to keep the house cool on summer days. Energy-efficient heat-pump heating, a wood-burning stove, wood-fired bread & pizza oven, and two fireplaces make for a magical winter getaway as well.

Beaches: The house is just a mile and a half from exclusive Philbin Beach, one of the few places on the east coast you can see the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean. Walk from Philbin to adjoining Moshup Beach and the world-famous Gay Head Cliffs. Lobsterville and West Basin beaches are on the Vineyard Sound side of Aquinnah and offer swimming, sunsets and fabulous fishing. Red Beach offers a gentle surf for kids, a kayak launching point and tide pools galore. Access to these three beaches is included with the rental. Philbin Beach is open to Aquinnah residents and renters only, with purchase of a weekly parking permit from the town (no fee for bikes).

Even closer: Take a stroll to the Orange Peel Bakery for coffee, fresh baked goods or their famed Pizza Night. The Aquinnah Public Library and town playground are also a short walk from the house.

Aquinnah: Grab a quick bite or lunch for the beach at nearby Aquinnah Circle. Afterward, enjoy a picnic as you watch the sun setting over the ocean on the grounds of the Gay Head Lighthouse. The Outermost Inn is a coveted reservation, offering upscale dining with charm and sunset views.

For those looking to completely escape, the night sky in Aquinnah is truly amazing. Situated on the tip of the Island, the band of the Milky Way is visible on any clear night. Aquinnah, formerly known as Gay Head of Moby Dick fame, is one of the few truly rural escapes remaining on Martha's Vineyard.

First time renting a VRBO
I was a little nervous about renting a home. We had a fabulous time here. The house is spacious and homey. Doris was so very helpful in our planning. The beaches in this area are fantastic. I will be renting again. Thank you so much!

Warm and welcoming home away from home in a beautiful location
Spacious, well-cared for and uniquely designed home that is wonderful for multiple families or an extended family vacationing together. Well-appointed kitchen, games/toys for all ages, and close to beautiful parts of MV!

Comfortable and lovely home
We were unable to use the jacuzzi because there were no instructions on how to operate it, otherwise the home was lovely and accommodating. Hopefully we'll be able to use it again in the future. Televisions in the master bedroom, and upstairs bedroom would be a nice addition. Charles

Up Island retreat
We loved this place. It is roomy, and very quiet. The house has everything you could possibly need. We spent most of our time relaxing on Lobsterville Beach and Philbin Beach. If you like beautiful beaches this is the location to be. Doris is so nice and was great to work with. We are looking foreword to coming back here soon!

Perfect Beach Getaway
Just perfect for a beach getaway!! We arrived on Sunday for a 7-night stay. The place was spotless, well-furnished and appointed and exactly as pictured. Communication with Doris was very easy and we had no arrival / departure issues. She is well-organized and her directions, suggestions and arrangements were very clear (we especially appreciated her "guidebook" of personal suggestions of things to do in the area). We found breakfast on the sunny deck in the morning and BBQing in the evening very relaxing. Philbin Beach is simply spectacular and just a short drive (or bike ride) away with easy parking (permit required) and access. We were able to find pretty much everything we needed in nearby Chilmark and recommend the Chilmark Tavern for dinner and Menemsha for that lobster / fried clam fix. All-in-all, just what we needed for a wonderful stay on the Vineyard!!
