The house was a great place to stay with the family.
Very spacious. The family enjoyed their stay.
Great house with plenty of room for our group of 10.
House definitely needs a deep clean and some deferred maintenance issues but other than that, good rental. Plenty of room for all the family and nice to have 2 master bedrooms. Privacy of lot is great.
The house was well equipped and the kitchen well stocked. Plenty of sheets, towels and beach gear. Not having to bring all our beach stuff was a big plus. The house is sectioned off into two separate areas which was great for our group. We were 3 families of siblings and the parents and ranged in age from 17 to 82 and everyone was comfortable and happy. We were able to have the older folks, 82- 49 on one half of the house and the younger folks, 17- 23 on the other. At most we were 16 people for a night and between 12-14 the other nights and there were plenty of places to sleep. Everyone got a bed, pullout or futon that wanted one. James was very responsive to any issues we had, which were few. It’s a bit off the beaten path so you need a car. Being able to access one of the most beautiful beaches on the island in Lucy Vincent Beach makes staying in Chilmark and off the beaten path totally worth it. We would absolutely return to the house and can’t recommend it enough for large groups and families.
We all enjoyed our privacy in this beautiful large home. Everyone had their space and we all slept great on the very comfortable mattresses. The host is great, and he was very helpful, and answered all our questions. Thank you for a fine weekend.
While some things were a bit outdated the house in all was great especially for a large group. We didn't really use the backyard as we had to go around to get to it but we spent a lot of time on the back porch. James was very responsive when I messaged him about two things after arriving and so kind. Definitely need a car to get to and from but it was a great time.
We had a great time in Chillmark. Came for a family wedding and there was plenty of space for everyone to have alone time and gather together as a family. The property could use some TLC but overall it was a great stay for us.
Chilmark is beautiful and this was tucked privately down a long dirt road. There was ample space for the 7 of us with no problems accessing bathroom or getting some quiet time when needed. The owner was quick to respond to questions and was able to accommodate our requests. We arrived to a nice bottle of white wine. The down side to this property is the overall lack of cleanliness. Dirty floors, walls and a very overpowering smell of mildew and must throughout the home. The house is heavily shaded and although the seclusion is peaceful, the home remained damp our entire stay and the home is not equipped with adequate moisture control--especially after such a wet season. The one small dehumidifier in the basement had a note on it to empty it if full as the drainage system may not always work. We emptied it a few times but the unit is not anywhere big enough to handle the living space. Even the couch and rugs were damp like we were glamping. Linens appeared clean but the problem with having renters launder the towels is lack of oversight and my facecloth was covered in red markings (lipstick I hope)which did fade signficantly after I washed it myself. Affordable price for this area but it is time for that 12 hour deep clean, humidity control and fresh paint. Still enjoyed our time together and we hope the owners are able to address these concerns because then they would have a real gem!!
Dirty. Needs updating! Sheets not ready for use. Had to wash towels…clean bathrooms to use on arrival. Stove needs repair. Did not appreciate having to use a match to light burners. Owner sent cleaning crew next day took over 5 hours of cleaning….needs a deep cleaning! It is a lovely location with a lot of space….but cannot recommend at this time! Would appreciate a rebate on our stay!
