A timeless Martha’s Vineyard escape awaits you at this extraordinary Harthaven home!

This idyllic beach home is the ultimate in serenity and tranquility, but is close to the bars, restaurants and shopping in downtown Oak Bluffs and Edgartown.

The house is a prime example of New England shingle-clad coastal architecture. Inside, it's a charming space, with light flooding in through windows overlooking the ocean. Wood floors and a whitewashed color scheme give it a hint of seaside chic, with comfortable furniture and colorful accents and artwork.

There’s a private yard for eating outdoors on warm summer days, and a fire pit to sit around in the cooler evening air. Tie up your boat at the private dock, and use the kayaks and stand-up paddle boards for fun on the water.

You'll be staying across the street from Noman's - just a mile from downtown Oak Bluffs and four miles to downtown Edgartown. Take the bike path one mile to Oak Bluffs, you will find lots to do between the famous Flying Horses, MVCMA gingerbread cottages, Ocean Park, Back Door Donuts, the bowling alley, the Arts District and the game room. In the other direction on the bike path, you will go past the Jaws Bridge, and into Edgartown with its captains house, the Old Whaling Church, art galleries and shopping.

Back at the house, the large living room has a stone fireplace, the eat-in kitchen has an island with seating for 6, the dining room seats twelve of your friends and family, and the six bedrooms and a sleeping porch allow for many guests. There are four enclosed porches, two on the first floor, and two on the second floor. A large private yard provides plenty of space for outdoor activities. The house is a member of the Harthaven Association, which allows use of the association's private beach, harbor, and tennis court. Central A/C and heat will keep you comfortable in all types of New England weather.

LIVING AREA

Gather in the sunlit living area after a day enjoying the island! Two sofas by the wood-burning fireplace and three armchairs by the windows create inviting areas. Two indoor porches have additional seating areas. There is a Smart TV with cable, wifi, and lots of games.

KITCHEN and PANTRIES

The modern kitchen is well appointed with a commercial Wolf stove having 6 burners & a griddle, two ovens, a Bosch dishwasher, a Kitchen Aid refrigerator with ice maker, granite countertops, and windows overlooking the herb gardens. An island has seating for six.

The butler's pantry, between the kitchen and dining room, has a bar sink and a wine refrigerator as well as a soda stream, a microwave, coffee maker and plenty of glassware and china.

Outdoors there is a charcoal barbecue.

A pantry has a large freezer for your bags of ice and all the fish you catch - as well as a variety of kitchen appliances.

A washer and dryer takes care of your laundry needs.

    Such a fantastic house and an excellent location. An easy mile stroll to Oak Bluffs or a flat, beautiful 4 mile bike ride to Edgartown. A meal and drink and Noman’s across the street could not be easier. The body of water at the back of the house is calm and perfect for kids of all ages to paddle and swim. We enjoyed watching the Osprey descend from their nest and hunt for fish. The deck was amazing for all meals. Indoor dining table large enough for our whole group as well.Loved the few minute walk to private beach just across the lagoon! The house itself is in great condition and perfect for a large group. Many rooms and beds. Plenty of room for our extended family of 11 (4 teens, parents, grandparents and cousins). The kitchen is very well stocked and had everything we could possibly need. Perfect for a lobster boil or lobster on the grill and paella on the open fire. The owner Julie was attentive, responsive and so helpful in helping us set up bike rentals and grocery delivery and all of our floor plan questions ahead of time (thank you so much!). For this west coast family, it was truly a wonderful place to experience a MV summer. We hope to return!

    This was a repeat visit for us at this beautiful home. We stayed here with our teenage children who especially enjoyed kayaking and fishing right off the property. There was more than enough space for our family and so much to do on site. Can take a nice stroll up to Oak Bluffs or down to Jaws bridge. Sunrise over the ocean is beautiful in the morning as is the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach. Highly recommended! Hope to return again!

    This historic beach house was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views and the charm of the home itself. Nestled on a private beach, the location felt peaceful and secluded — a true hidden gem.One of the unexpected joys of our stay was watching the osprey nest right across the water. Each day, we observed the chicks grow into fledglings — such a special and calming experience that brought us even closer to nature.The home was warm, comfortable, and perfect for entertaining family. We loved every minute and made memories we’ll treasure forever. It was truly hard to leave.

    We had a group of 7 adults and enjoyed our stay. The location of the home was convenient. We rode bikes, walked and used uber for transportation. We easily explored Oak Bluffs and Edgartown during our stay. We enjoyed the games in the home and all of the space for private time if needed. We highly recommend this home.

    We stayed at this gorgeous home for a week. The property was gorgeous, conveniently locTed, and filled with tremendous amenities that made our whole stay comfortable and convenient. The house is so unique with so many places to cuddle up with a book and take in the gorgeous views of the inlet and the ocean.

    We spent a week here in August with an extended, multigenerational family group. The house has a ton of sleeping spaces and bathrooms, and a well stocked kitchen. The interior design features are remarkable and the house has real character. It’s an older home but many of the design elements complement its age. The kitchen is updated and it’s overall very nice. Property manager was great. A couple of things broke during our stay and they were quick to provide replacements (eg one of the kayaks). The dock and channel provide endless entertainment for the kids to safely play outside. The air conditioning was impressively effective. Overall I would rate this house a 9.5/10 with the only deduction due to there being a lack of sound insulation so it was a little hard to keep everyone asleep if anyone was awake. But this is manageable and overall, we would return, and would recommend.

    Loved staying in this natural, charming home in what felt like a bird sanctuary! The setting is spectacular and the homeowners provided all of the toys you could ask for, including: paddle boards, kayaks, boogie boards, etc! There were so many fantastic bedrooms to chose from- all with fantastic views of the waterway and ocean. The only negative piece of feedback has to do with the lighting in the kitchen and living room. It is bizarrely dark- making it difficult to navigate and enjoy comfortably in the evenings. (We suspect this had something to do with conserving energy... ultimately not that big of an issue).

    We enjoyed out stay. The only improvement I would recommendation is to have better lighting in the house, particularly on the main floor where there were only the yellow lights.

    The house is absolutely stunning. It is decorated so well, and has so much charm. It is well equipped and has so much seating and room for entertaining and lounging. The views of the ocean are breathtaking and the outside space is perfect. There are plenty of bedrooms, towels, glassware, speakers, appliances and everything else that makes you feel at home. I cannot say enough about this property, I wish I could stay here forever.
