Iconic Mid-Century Home with Gorgeous Ocean Views, Private Pool & Decks

This is a home that - at one time - was absolutely stunning. The architecture and floor plan are ideal for a family vacation home UpIsland on MV. Unfortunately, the house has been poorly maintained, which significantly detracted from what could have been an exceptional stay.While I appreciate a rustic, lived-in feel, basic cleanliness and functionality should be non-negotiable. The area rugs were visibly dirty and clearly have not been cleaned in quite some time. The furniture showed extensive staining, the lamp above the kitchen table was moldy. The sliding doors were difficult to operate properly, and the screen doors had holes that let in insects.Personal belongings were scattered throughout every room and filled most closets, leaving little storage space for guests. The lack of any welcome information or house manual left us guessing about basic procedures like trash and recycling pickup, appliance operation, and check-out requirements.Most concerning were the unannounced visits from service workers. While property maintenance is important, guests should be notified in advance when workers will be on-site. We had an uncomfortable situation when the pool maintenance person arrived while one of our party was using the outdoor shower area.The bones of this property are truly wonderful, and with proper attention to cleanliness, maintenance, and guest communication, it could easily be a five-star rental. Currently it falls short of VRBO standards despite the premium price.

This place was amazing! We can’t want to come back.

We didn't realize how beautiful and unique the architecture of this residence was before we arrived. It is a gorgeous place and we were please by the cleanliness and simplicity of it.

Wonderful place for a getaway to MV. Well appointed, comfy home with great pool. Plenty of privacy but easy to get to. Enjoyed our stay

If you are looking for a great home in the island, this is it! It’s very private and off the beaten path. For us, we loved it as the beaches were just a short drive away, as were the nearby villages too. The home is very unique and have a great floor plan. It’s full of local art, keepsakes and has lovely grounds. Absolutely beautiful! The home is rustic maybe to some, but had all the amenities we needed. The pool was an added bonus too. We were happy to leave the hustle and bustle of Edgartown and Oak Bluffs ; our private drive on a lovely wooded lot was perfect. Ocean views from the deck were perfect. Loved it!

waiting for property manager to reply to the issue that has been recapped with them since arrival. even though VRBO listing said heat was available, it was not. and fireplace was not available. and it was really cold--which ruined any opportunity to use the location in day or night for three days. awaiting response before any final review and further VRBO bookings

Overall my friends and I have come twice to the Noyes house and are planning to come back next year. As long as you’re comfortable not staying near the main towns, it’s an ideal location - close to the markets and stores of west tisbury, several of the best beaches on the island (Lucy Vincent and Aquinnah in particular), the Chilmark general store, and some of the best farms like beetlebung. The house is something between rustic and luxury, which is deal for a group of friends. It’s not a big deal to us that some of the screen doors are prone to come out of the track or that the pool is a bit cold. That small stuff is outweighed by a very cool, unique place with all the beach supplies you’d need, in what I think is an ideal up island location.

Clear and honest architecture, a special place that makes the most of its site. (This from 4 architects who stayed here together; a tough crowd!)

We loved staying here. The open concept layout was perfect for our group. I really appreciated all the interesting art and little details of the interior. Carried more personal character than staged airbnb feel. The rooms being separated by the common space really gave us all privacy. Waking up to the ocean view was such a treat. Place felt relatively clean upon arrival. The pool was nice but didn't use it much because it wasn't heated. Would have loved to use it more!

We rented this very expensive property so that the ring bearer and flower girl could swim in the pool. The pool was not functioning and just green slime.
