Private Beach Access at Exclusive Oyster Pond Retreat

This immaculate vacation rental is situated in the exclusive Oyster Pond enclave with boat access to its private beach. The property's seven acres afford a serene privacy that’s difficult to match, yet is conveniently located for easy access to downtown Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, and Vineyard Haven - and for heading up island.

Aptly called the “Dream House” by Architectural Digest, the home is graced by cathedral ceilings and a central cupola. Its flow and energy transport one to a space where time is measured by the arcs of the sun and moon.

This is an "upside down house" with the living and dining areas, kitchen and primary bedroom suite located on the top floor. On the first floor - encircling the stunning custom curved staircase - are three more bedrooms, a library, a laundry room and a bathroom with its double vanity sink separate from the bath and toilet.

Two large decks — perfect for morning coffee, sunning, grilling, cocktails and dining — flank the house and overlook the surrounding huckleberry fields and lively forest. The dining area and fully-appointed kitchen also provide a lovely view to the sprawling lawn below for watching playful kids.

Flat panel TVs grace all rooms including the library, which is perfect for an evening children's movie, or as an office (with monitor and wireless printer/copier/fax). There is also a kids' corner upstairs with toys, games, puzzles, art supplies, play tent, and a telescope to explore the night sky. A high chair, booster seats, safety gate for kids and dogs, and Pack 'n Play are available in addition to kids’ plates, utensils, bibs, and bowls for pets.

The house is stocked with necessities so you can leave room in your car for personal items: luxuriant linens & bath towels, beach towels & blankets, and kitchen and bath products. We also provide a picnic basket, portable cooler w/wheels, cold packs and beach-appropriate dining gear.

Six bikes and helmets of varying sizes are provided to tour the island. Additional bikes can be rented and delivered. A bike path is accessible at the head of Oyster Pond Road. Also provided are two standup paddle boards, three kayaks, lawn games (bocce, crochet, corn hole, frisbee golf, Kubb, badminton), hammocks, shellfish catching tools, beach toys, umbrella, life preservers, and a collapsible, large-wheeled beach carry all. A Siemens 30A EV charger is ready to replenish your EV.

Only 150 yards from the house is the boat ramp to the pond. You may use our motor boat (from mid April to Thanksgiving, pond levels permitting), kayaks and standup paddle boards to explore the beauty of the pond and to reach the private association South Shore barrier beach: shallow and calm, warmer waters on the pond side, with surf and the occasional harbor seals on the ocean side. An adjacent beach is accessible by car only a few minutes away at Long Point Wildlife Refuge, owned by the Trustees of Reservations. Upon your return, a warm outdoor shower beckons. And a firepit, with kindling and split wood awaits with skewers for s’mores to finish a perfect Vineyard day.

Perfect Vacation
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful and well-stocked home. The hosts were immediately responsive to all contacts and repeatedly looked to make our stay special. The house and amenities were accurately describe and even understated when you see that the boats, bikes and games were all quality items. The house was impeccably clean and had everything we could possibly need. We had an amazing time. If you rent this house you will want or need for nothing and will probably be writing a similar review at the end of your stay.

We had a great week at the house. Dawn was very helpful with all logistical planning and proactive in communicating that the house was ready as we were already on island. It’s the best stocked house we’ve rented. Beach chairs, bikes, lawn games, kids games for inside, and everything was incredibly easy to find. Kitchen is great, all you need to do is show up. Thank you for the hospitality!

A Dream Family Getaway
The property is even more stunning than the pictures. This is the perfect place for a family getaway. We had 3 generations with us and the layout of the house was so comfortable for everyone. When the host says they have everything, believe them! We VRBO all the time, and this was, by far, the best appointed house we have ever been in. They thought of everything you could need for a Vineyard vacation, for all ages, and provided it. We only needed to bring our clothes! The location on the island is great. Close to all of the towns, Morning Glory Farms, the creamery, and it's very easy to get Up Island. All the directions for the use of equipment, beach, boat etc. were clear and complete. The communication prior to arriving was very helpful. The beach was lovely and private. The owners answered any of our questions quickly if we had them. They made our stay special and delightful. If I had one complaint it would be that we had to go home!

Dream Home for the Perfect Martha’s Vineyard Vacation
We had the most amazing family vacation at this perfect retreat. The home was impeccably clean and had everything we needed. It was private, beautiful, and incredibly relaxing. The location was perfect—quiet yet conveniently close to everything. The condition of the home and the decor were flawless; we couldn't have asked for better. We all felt at home during our weeklong stay and wished we had stayed longer! The owners were incredible—so kind, helpful, and always available for recommendations if needed. We highly recommend this place and hope to return soon!

The pictures do not do this house justice. You couldnt ask for a better host than Dawn. She helped me with figuring out traveling to the island. She provides everything you could possibly think of needing. The island is beautiful. People are very friendly. We used the boat several times to go to the beach and saw two sea lions!! The bikes were great way to sightsee. I couldn't recommend this place more!

Oyster Pond - a Martha’s Vineyard gem
Our family enjoyed this beautiful home which was walking distance from Oyster Pond. We enjoyed paddle boarding, kayaking and taking the skiff to a private section of ocean beach. The house had everything one needs in a vacation home. The owners were friendly and very hospitable. This was one of the nicest homes we have stayed at in over 30 years of bringing our family to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

Fantastic stay at perfect MV property for families
We had a fantastic stay at Dawn's home (four adults, two toddlers, one baby). This is the ideal property if you're traveling with children and it is very centrally located to everywhere on MV we wanted to go (different towns, beaches, etc.). We were so impressed about the thought and care that went into making the house as user-friendly as possible (everything perfectly labeled, games for kids, beach toys, etc.). Communication with Dawn was also perfect--we had a small issue with a repair that she promptly had fixed within an hour. We loved the big lawn for running around with our kids and hammocks for relaxing. The whole stay was perfection!

Couldn't speak more highly of Dawn and Lawlor as hosts. They take great care to think of guests' needs. All the little touches - well appointed kitchen (with labels for everything!), Garage with all the fun activity items you might want (boards, outdoor games, life preservers, etc), indoor game rooms, wonderfully tended property. Best hosts I've ever had on the vineyard (and I've been coming for 45 years).

Great Short Weekend!
We had a great weekend and the hosts were amazing. Answered all our questions promptly. House was immaculate, well stocked and great for a large group. The family room and decks provided room for all. Only challenge is you are not close to bike trails and dirt road leading to the house does not allow you to get to one easily. You need to drive out and park and then ride. A small compromise for an incredible house with everything you need.

Wonderful return to our “Happy Place”!
We have been vacationing on the Vineyard for almost 25 years and after a 3 year hiatus (thank you pandemic) we returned and rented this beautiful home as a celebration of our retirement. We now have grown adult daughters, with significant others and outgrew our original rental. This home was exactly as advertised and absolutely perfect for us. The home is well appointed, comfortably decorated, and sits in a beautiful private setting. We love the “non-touristy” parts of the Vineyard, hiking, biking, kayaking, exploring new Land Bank properties, and typically spend little time in a home. However, this home and it’s property was so relaxing we spent many days and evenings just enjoying the yard, and Oyster Pond. The private beach was a bonus, just know it’s a little work to get there, even with the Zodiac as pond levels were very low throughout our stay. The owner was a great communicator, and there were no issues. The home has enough secluded space that our daughters were able to work remotely when needed without issues. The owners have literally thought of every detail and we were so appreciative. We made so many new memories here and will be back!!

Incredible MV Rental
We absolutely loved staying at Dawn and Lawler's home on Martha's Vineyard. From the airy and bright rooms, fully-equiped kitchen and great outdoor grill, to the abundant recreational equipment, beautiful green lawns and location near Edgartown, this property had everything we could wish for. We especially liked kayaking on Oyster Pond and napping in the outdoor hammocks. Dawn and Lawler were very helpful and gracious hosts, including in providing full instructions and answering questions. They made the process easy and enjoyable. And perhaps the best VRBO experience we've ever had. Our one regret is that we can't live in this house full-time! But it did give us inspiration for some home design projects. And makes us long to return to Martha's Vineyard.

Awesome outdoor hammocks, picnic table and fire pit. The pictures honestly don’t do the home justice! MV is magical, and so is this truly lovely home!!
