1,500' Shore on Deep Bottom Cove, Tisbury Great Pond

Perfect location for lovers of nature.

Felicity and Joel are lifelong seasonal island residents and have built the ideal refuge on Tisbury Great Pond. The house is tasteful, perfectly equipped and fully modern. It is nestled in the trees with picture windows overlooking the pond, so you wake up in the master bed with a view of the water and possibly swans, herons, cranes or gulls passing by, and have the same glorious view from the kitchen and living areas. They thoughtfully set us up with a canoe and a pair of kayaks so we could explore the pond and reach the ocean-facing barrier beach. The kids had a blast mucking around on the edge of the pond and riding in the canoe. The house is about 5 minutes drive down a dirt road off of West Tisbury - Edgartown Rd, so there is a modest barrier to the rest of the island but it is actually pretty centrally located once you reach the main road. We also used a bicycle with child seats to go places and that worked great too. The airport is nearby and planes often do their final descents over the pond, but there's minimal plane traffic early or late in the day or at night. Our hosts were staying nearby and very accessible for any requests. We felt very privileged to enjoy their unique slice of paradise during our stay.

Felicity and Joel are a lovely people and they have a lovely home. The view of the pond is outstanding and the short path to the shore led us to their kayaks, our rented boat with small outboard and fishing and swimming. And crabbing- though I was not successful! Thank you!

We had the most lovely week at Joel and Felicity’s beautiful home. Waking up every morning to views of Deep Bottom Cove was a magical way to start each day and catching the sunset in the evenings and the stars at night made for the perfect end to the day. We and our children (8, 12, and 14) loved taking the kayaks and canoe out to Tisbury Great Pond and exploring the area - finding all sorts of animal prints in the sand and shells along the water. Joel and Felicity were very responsive and the house had everything we needed. What a great week!

Beautiful environment and home! very well maintained! restful to be there!

Wonderful hosts who were incredibly welcoming and helpful while we were on the island. We loved the setting on Great Tisbury Pond - we kayaked every day in the pond (about a 20 minute paddle to the ocean and beach) and enjoyed the sandy beach in front of the house. We would definitely stay again!

Owners are lovely people

The house was perfect for our family of 5. It was clean, organized and well equipped as a rental property. The location was perfect on a nice big, flat, pond--which was great for kayaking and very safe for kids.

The owners are lovely people. The house is immaculate, all things in working order, all possible amenities are there. Truly a beautiful home, great location and would love to rent again. It’s a special place.

Secluded property with beautiful water views and swimming access.Great for small children. Kayaks and canoe available to explore this charming lagoon. Our hosts were most helpful and attentive to all of our requests. We sincerely enjoyed our stay and hopefully will return to experience this lovely location in future summers.
