Happily isolated from the bustle of Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven, this tranquil residence a 15 minute walk from the cliffs of Aquinnah offers simple, unpretentious comforts of old Martha's Vineyard. The raised decks at the front of the house face westward onto fields, the sea and Aquinnah's shimmering sunsets. The grounds are flanked by old stone walls that bestow a seasonal bounty of blackberries, honeysuckle, salt spray roses and the occasional tiger lily. Nestled in the soft slope of a hill, the house combines shared social areas and private sleeping modules with baths and outside showers. Each of these areas connects to the others via a continuous wooden deck with steps down to the lawns. The roof of one unit doubles as a sturdy treetop porch, ideal for cocktails, star viewing, and yoga at dawn. The secluded pool is on the hill at the property's eastern edge; down across the front field, a rustic shack surrounded by scrub oaks provides a perfect retreat from activities in the main house. On sunny days, Aquinnah's public beaches beckon, a 7-minute drive from the house -- or you can drive in the opposite direction and sample the quiet, sheltered beaches of Lobsterville. Both towns preserve the relaxed sensibility and unhurried pace of Martha's Vineyard set apart and far back in time and space.

    Comfy house in a gorgeous part of Martha’s Vineyard very close to beautiful Acquinnah Cliffs & also other beaches. We had a glorious week with our son, his wife & their dog.

    Laid back vibe in classic mid-century home with pool, privacy and loads of land. Easy access to the best beaches. Great space for entertaining. Rambling layout means privacy for all. True Vineyard/Aquinnah experience.

    We loved the open plan layout with separate guest pavilions connected to the main house by an expansive wooden deck, great for large family gatherings where you can be together in the main house but then retreat into your own space at night. Feels secluded and private with distant view of the water, and the Aquinnah area quieter than the more popular areas on the Vineyard. Great access to nearby beaches with the beach pass provided. It was perfect for us.

    We absolutely loved staying at this house. It was quiet, secluded and relaxing, and in a very nice part of the island. We spent time at Philbin beach and also Menemsha pond, both of which were very close. The property itself has the classic charm of a summer cottage with plenty of space. The property is expansive and beautiful. We loved the pool and the outdoor showers. Adam was a great host and very accommodating. We highly recommend this house for those who want a relaxing and quiet vacation on what I feel is the most beautiful part of the island.

    We loved everything about this place; from the privacy, relaxation, easy beach access, and super helpful owner. The house was clean with all new furniture. The layout was great for our large group with one main house and two guest houses. Adam was always available and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Highly recommend booking a stay at this peaceful property with Adam!

    A true, old-Vineyard, 70s-vibes family compound with ocean views and 25 minute walk to the Aquinnah cliffs and stunning ocean beaches. If you want artsy comfort, lots of space for family and friends, huge skies, and an easy, rustic, laid-back rental with everything you will need, this is for you. We loved every second here. Owners are incredibly responsive and kind, responding to any and all questions we had. Truly, this is a great place.
