History: “On 29 Apr 1851 William West Jr. of Tisbury, mariner, bought a house on the south side of Center St. for $1100” from Local builder and real estate speculators John and Elizabeth Perry. William West was a successful Whaling Captain “having sailed on the ship Enterprise of New Bedford which left on 14 Jul 1828 and returned 19 Jun 1829, and on the ship Hope of New Bedford which left on 30 Jan 1830”. In addition to the West’s this home was also owned by other well know Island names including the Isakson’s and the Brickman’s
The home suited our group of two couples and two singles well and the porch was wonderful. It was very comfortable. It wasn’t updated with things such as old windows difficult to open or close and many missing screens, drawers that were hard to open, trash cans that could have used a good scrub, broken baseboard trims and heater covers, etc. None of this was the least uncomfortable to us, and seems appropriate to the island and the vibe. Very close to wonderful shops and restaurants. I would stay there again. The host (Jesse) was an extremely good communicator and very easy to reach and responsive and was able to guide us to good beaches and was very tolerant to our many questions. We had a small housekeeping/ plumbing issue which Jesse helped us with very promptly. I was a little surprised that there wasn’t any tp or paper towels or trash bags (at all) but Jesse explained that this was pretty usual for weekly rentals on MV and most people stop at the grocery in the way in. Good to know. Again, not a problem but worth knowing ahead of time. I’ll try to get back for another week. We really enjoyed it there !
Our family loved the house and especially enjoyed the porch, close proximity to Vineyard Haven and the AC! Our host could not have been more responsive and helpful. We would love to come back again in the future!
This is a very comfortable and
The house is perfect. Great location, and it has everything. We really had a great time. We will be back, hopefully soon!
We truly enjoyed our stay in Jesse’s home. He was very responsive, polite and gracious! We loved the location of the home. Being a few blocks from Main Street was so convenient. The house was lovely, spacious and having 4 bathrooms was a huge plus. Our favorite part of the house was the swinging bed on the porch! It was an amazing place for relaxing, conversation, morning coffee and nightcaps. We hope to rent again next year! Thank you Jesse!
we had a perfect stay start to finish Thanks Jesse
We had an amazing stay in this house. We brought a multigenerational family (6 people, age range 3 to 73) and everyone had a great time. The outdoor spaces on the porch and in the yard are as nice as the house itself and while quiet at night, you're just a 5 minute walk from Main Street. Jesse was a wonderful and highly responsive host. Highly recommend.
Great communication with owner.
We rented off season over Christmas. The house was in the perfect location to walk to town for window shopping and town beaches for walks by the shore. The house was ideal for our family to spend time together but also delightful retreats that provided space for all! Loved playing games by the fire, watching movies in the TV room, and baking Christmas cookies in the gorgeous kitchen! This was the perfect house to spend our vacation!
This was a perfect property for our trip of 5 friends. Plenty of room for everyone and a great location to shops and restaurants. Highly recommend this home and a fall trip to the Vineyard!!
