Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts
Up island charm on one acre, wooded lot- yet close to town.
Discover everything the Vineyard has to offer- great trails, golf, fishing, beaches, restaurants, shopping...
Our nicely appointed house is ideally located halfway between Vineyard Haven village (home of the famous Black Dog Tavern) and bucolic West Chop, in a family-friendly setting of private 1+ acre wooded lots. It's less than 1.5 miles to great fishing, beaches, town, library and shopping, with Mink Meadows public golf course just 5 minutes down the road. Renovated in 2011, furniture, bedding, most appliances and nearly everything else has been updated. Grill out or just relax with friends and family on our spacious deck,- and the lawn provides ample room for croquet, volleyball, or any other activity your family can think of. Enjoy our new horseshoe pit! After dark, the deck and backyard provide the perfect setting for Vineyard stargazing.
Our house has a breezy, open floor plan that easily allows for larger gatherings. The dining table comfortably seats 6-8, or 8-10 with the leaf inserted. There is an additional table on the deck that can also seat 8-10.
The primary bedroom features a queen bed, ceiling fan, and 1/2 bath. The sliding doors open onto the deck, and allow for plenty of natural light and provide cool breezes on warm summer nights. The outdoor shower is just steps away, conveniently built right on the deck.
A second bedroom also features a queen bed and ceiling fan.
If you're vacationing with a baby, this room also has a handy three drawer Bellini changing table doing double duty as a bureau. The third bedroom is kid tested and approved, with bunkbeds and reading lights
New Kohler sink, toilet and fixtures have been installed in the main bathroom, and there is an additional 1/2 bath in the master bedroom.
While TV is probably not on your vacation agenda, the living room does have a 40", as well as a 32" in the master bedroom. You'll also find a supply of games in the living room for those occasional rainy days- please also see our website for additional rainy day activities and destinations.
Working during your vacation can be a bummer, but if you must... we do have free wi-fi, phone and a charming 'vacation desk' made from reclaimed barnwood.

We had an amazing stay at Wayne’s house for our vineyard vacation. Upon arrival, the house was impeccably clean and we were greeted by friendly neighbors. With 2 small kids under 6, they loved the bunk beds, the board games and outdoor games and yard. The house was well stocked with beach chairs and games which made it nice to not have to bring our own. We made great use of the washing machine, outdoor shower, and plenty of bath towels. The outdoor deck was lovely to sit or entertain for dinners outdoors. The location was perfect, on a quiet street with access to Tashmoo Lake just across the way. And close enough for a short bike ride or long walk to town, shops, restaurants. The house had everything we needed and Wayne was readily available for any questions. We hope to return next year!
We were there to celebrate the life of our dear friend. We had all spent time together on the Vineyard over the years. It was her request that we celebrate through stories of our wonderful times and memories.
Great stay, charming property and great location. Highly recommend this property.
Great property and convenient location. Great back patio/yard. Nice to enjoy the back patio in the evening and watch the wildlife in the backyard (squirrels, rabbits, turkeys, deer, birds). Nice place to return to after day or evening out. Very convenient, but away from the busy downtowns of the island. Responsive owner. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed an excellent week on Martha’s Vineyard. The house had plenty of room for our family of four. Parking was ample and the house is tucked back in a quiet neighborhood. The house has all amenities as listed and we used the kitchen and outdoor grill without any issue. We loved the outdoor shower and the peacefulness of the home. At the end of the street is the dirt road entrance to Herring Creek Beach which is an awesome place to hang with the kids. Can’t say enough good things about the house and we had a great visit.
Wonderful house - great location for hiking/biking and exploring. Best time of year to visit - no crowds and lots to do (and eat!) There was a minor problem with the house when we arrived but the host was very accessible and really cared about and solved our concerns. Lovely place to stay and I'd return in a heartbeat.
Super nice owner and very responsive. Great house and location. We will be renting again in the future.
We greatly enjoyed our stay on MV. The house met our expectations. We especially appreciated the grill and back yard. Best regards, Kelli R
This home was perfect for our needs. The outdoor deck was great for early morning coffee and evening drinks/apps. Communication with the host was easy and he was very quick to respond to our questions. Overall wonderful experience!
Communication with property owner was perfect from start to finish. The home was beautiful and just as depicted in their pictures and location was convenient to town, beaches, grocery store etc. Beautiful back yard for our children to run around and play in. Overall just perfect for our young family!
This rental was just as pleasant as it is advertised to be - spacious and comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood that was a short bike ride to Vineyard Haven. Everything was spotlessly clean, the kitchen was well-equipped and the shared living space was very comfortable. The deck was beautiful, perfect for afternoon wine-and-cheese relaxing and the outdoor shower was delicious after a long day of bike riding. If our travels bring us back to the Vineyard, we would absolutely look to rent here again.
