Luminous rural retreat with spectacular ocean views.

We had a wonderful stay at Susanna's beautiful home. The location is peaceful and private, with relaxing views of the water. The house was spotless and well-equipped with everything we needed. Susanna was also very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. I especially appreciated the home's unique architecture. Highly recommended!

This house was so unbelievably beautiful! It was full of so much art and character. The location was also an added bonus. You are just a short walk to a secluded beach which we frequented every day. The instructions for the house were simple and Susanna was always just a text away! Definitely want to come back!

The house was very nicely situated and the owners art extensive collection made for a very interesting experience. The owner was responsive to our queries and tried to be helpful, but there were some major issues that led to our early departure (we had rented for a week). First, the master bedroom had an overwhelming musty odor of mold that didn’t go away even after airing out the place. Second, there were fleas and other bugs because of the dampness and my husband and I suffered multiple bites in our legs and feet. Third, the second level was entirely unusable as the smell of mold and mildew was totally overpowering. Overall, a tremendous location, and nice house but needs serious updating, and it’s not worth the price. We cut short our visit by 3 nights.

My family stayed at Susanna's beautiful home the week my son got married on Martha's Vineyard. This is a spectacular house, light-filled, art-filled, and with a view of the water. It is very peaceful and everywhere you look there is beauty. We walked to the Brickyard and bought a pass to Lucy Vincent Beach. We ate lobster rolls in Menemsha. We were a party of 7 and there was more than enough room. The house is very spacious. And the kitchen is enormous and has anything you could want. Susanna has toys and books for children and a very substantial high chair that a young visitor enjoyed. We have already asked to stay next summer. We loved it here.

My wife’s and I have been renting on the Vineyard for 17 years . We were searching for the perfect house in the perfect location.. this house has it all. Susanna is fantastic and answers any questions you have promptly..

Museum quality art - great room layout for entertaining family

We stayed here as a four-generation group of seven. The house accommodated us very nicely (more on that below). The location provides quick access to Menemsha and the Chilmark store (bonus!) The house itself is endlessly fascinating: the design, the art . . . and the artifacts! Beach stones, shells, bones and fossils on display; the house feels like it is the result of a lifetime of collecting precious things. The house was laid out perfectly for us. The master is at one end of the house, while the other two bedrooms and bath on the first level are at the opposite side of the house with a pocket door to add privacy. The additional bedrooms downstairs were perfect for our grandkids (10 and 13). The opposing decks provide a sunny ocean view on one side and a more shaded, garden space on the other. Plantings and water lilies in bloom add to the sense of tranquility on this side. The kitchen is beyond well stocked. It has everything you could possibly need for utensils, equipment, dishes and serveware. And the owner does a great job with written information for renters, not only for general house topics, but also where to find things in the house. The younger generations loved the access to the private beach with parking. They frequented it daily, if only for an after-dinner swim on days that they traveled further afield. Please note that the road to the beach requires something more than a family sedan; your SUV and attentive driving will get you there without a problem. We were given local numbers for both the owner and the caretaker in case we needed anything, but the need didn't arise.

Lovely and private home with access to beautiful, long walks and gorgeous sunsets. Would recommend for anyone who appreciates peace and quiet and doesn't mind being a bit if a drive away from stores and the like.

Everything was most satisfactory! The house is lovely, well supplied for everything we needed and wanted to do. We particularly appreciated the fine art pieces in all the rooms that the owner has so generously kept in a house rented to strangers.

We loved our stay at this beautiful property. The house was spacious and secluded, way off the beaten track. It was like living in an art gallery with wonderful pieces by the owner all over the house. The views off the front deck were spectacular. The deck in the back had a garden with herbs and tomatoes we were welcome to pick, a hummingbird feeder and a koi pond with water lilies. There are two outdoor showers that we loved and used regularly. The kitchen was well appointed and we cooked almost every meal at home. There was really no reason to get in your car. We appreciated the environmental consciousness of the owner who offered composting and other little reminders to live lightly when possible. There were lots of hikes off the property including to the beach or you could drive down if you wanted. All in all it was a wonderful stay in a very special property. Highly recommended.
