Enjoy spectacular lake and ocean views, amazing sunsets and your own private beach year-round. This clean and comfortable, family-friendly house looks west across Lake Tashmoo and towards sunsets across the Vineyard Sound to the Elizabeth Islands. Absolutely lovely in summertime, the property offers special value to visitors attending Island weddings, family get-togethers and reunions of old friends in the ''shoulder months'' before and after peak season at seasonally lower costs. Available year-round.

COVID-19 Response - The house is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before each guest arrives. Our cleaning service uses only cleaning equipment and supplies we provide to insure they don’t bring in equipment or cleaning materials from other locations. Beds are made up with fresh linens, and we provide fresh towels and beach towels for all guests. All contact surfaces, including tables, counter tops and door handles are carefully wiped down with sanitizing solution before you move in.

With a new house built in 1999 on land our grandfather bought 100 years ago, ''Macy Tashmoo Pond'' is a cherished family treasure. Built on one and a half acres of prime lakefront just off Herring Creek Road, the house is only a mile from downtown Vineyard Haven. Featuring new appliances, high-speed cable service, a large parking lot and two-car garage, you will have all the convenience of home in a uniquely beautiful and private location. Enjoy convenient access to everything the Martha's Vineyard has to offer, or just relax and 'get away from it all.'

Relax in the sunshine on the main deck or in the shade of the covered upstairs balcony while you take in the spectacular views and feel the cool breeze coming off the lake. Walk about 50 yards from the house for kayaking, sailing, clamming or a pleasant swim in the lake. Or walk .3 miles to Wilfrid's Pond Beach or .7 miles to Lake Tashmoo Town Beach. Mink Meadows Golf Club is also within walking distance (.9 mile).

The calm waters of 270-acre Lake Tashmoo are great for kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. If you don't have your own, Wind's Up in Vineyard Haven rents a variety of watercraft with convenient and affordable delivery and pickup to and from the house.

We installed brand-new energy-efficient kitchen appliances (range, refrigerator and dishwasher) and a new washer and dryer in 2019. A second refrigerator on the lower level provides extra storage for food and beverages. The house is fully equipped with all the cookware, tableware and silverware you will need. Cushioned window seats, books, toys and games are available to enhance your stay. This is our home and we look forward to sharing it with you and your family.

Amenities include premium cable TV with Netflix, high-speed internet and WiFi and telephone service with unlimited domestic calling. There are flat-screen televisions in the primary bedroom and the living room. The house is equipped with ample USB charging ports for your personal devices.

Sleeping accommodations include a king bed in the primary bedroom and queen beds in the other two bedrooms. All linens and towels are provided. Ocean breezes keep the temperature mild, but fans and central heat are available if needed.

There is a full house back-up power generator in the event of a power outage. Two Weber barbecue grills are available for your use.

Grab bars on the shower and bathtub, a first floor bedroom and a ramp to the entrance make the house accessible.

Massachusetts and local taxes of 11.7% apply to all rentals.

    Our family came to stay for my mothers 80th birthday. This home was the perfect place to stay, as it was in such a beautiful location. The attention to details by the owners who literally had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The upstairs bedrooms have an ocean view, and the downstairs bedroom was off the kitchen and had a shared down stairs bathroom. It was very comfortable for my mother. For children the home has a great down stairs space for kids to be kids. This home is a short drive to town. You can see the most beautiful sunsets from the deck or you can take a short walk to the beach. If you rent this home your family will not be disappointed.

    A fabulous vacation home on Lake Tashmoo with glorious sunset views enjoyed by all! The host, Tim, was extremely attentive and communicative. The house was immaculate, cozy and had many thoughtful amenities. Kayaking on the lake was a very easy process, and we had delightful experiences communing with nature. One of the loveliest cottages we have ever rented, and we will definitely return!

    Nothing fancy. It is the old Martha's Vineyard not the new one. We love the old one so this was perfect.

    This home is all about the location! My family and I stayed here for a wedding, and we were able to bike from the ferry to the house in under 10 minutes and to Oak Bluffs in just over 25 - beautiful and scenic all the way. While we were at the home, we cooked breakfasts in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoyed coffee on the deck. We loved making cocktails to watch the unbelievable sunsets over Lake Tashmoo and the ocean - without another sound other than those from nature. So peaceful! The house itself is basic, but comfortable, especially the beds. We also loved making a fire in the wood fire place - the home was even stocked with wood for us! A very memorable stay!

    This is a very comfortable house in a lovely location, right on Tashmoo Pond. The home, which has everything one could need, is very user-friendly, with many thoughtful and creative touches. The owners are responsive and easy to communicate with. We would stay here again.
