The house is a large family house in the Abels Hill community of Chilmark. The community shares use of a private south shore beach with beautiful Chilmark Pond for kayaking or canoeing, a tennis court, and access to miles of hiking trails.

The house has 6 bedrooms, and sleeps 13. 3 King sized beds, 1 Queen. 2 Doubles. One of the double bedrooms also has a twin. A large vaulted ceiling living/dining room looks out a glass wall over the 5 acre meadow with stone wall and organic vegetable garden that you can harvest from for your dinner or green smoothie! An exterior seating area on a deck w grill extends the living room and overlooks the meadow.

2 full bathrooms plus a powder room and outdoor shower with stained glass window!

A TV room and a music room, with electric piano, saxophone, bass, drum kit and drum machine are extra spaces for rainy days.

Its easy to walk to the beach and the pond from the house, which is across south road, just down the hill. To get to the beach you either use the Abel’s hill small boat which seats 4, our kayak (which seats 2), or wade across the shallow pond. Hiking trails for woodland running or hiking from Abels Hill take you to acres of magical preserved forests.

The house is simple, colorful and joyful.

    My family and friends had a great weekend stay as we visited the island for a friend’s wedding very close by at the Allen Farm. The house was beautiful, very clean and set in a quiet, private location. We loved our long walk on the gorgeous beach just minutes from the house. My daughter’s two dogs enjoyed it as much as we did. We definitely would come back.

    Perfect setting and large, well-equipped space. Loved being able to walk down to water!

    The house feels like a home - filled with personality, warmth, and comfort. Many cozy places to be - inside and out. Soft bedding and towels, good mattresses, a well stocked kitchen, and everything you might need for a beach vacation. Maryann is a very gracious host and we felt grateful to be there.

    The home was perfect for our large group of 7 adults and 7 children. We had plenty of space to sprawl out, both indoors and out. All of the beds were comfortable and the large living area was the perfect space to lounge and play games after days in the beach. The property is secluded so we had no worries with our little ones in and out of the home exploring the grounds. They especially loved the daily visitors, deer and turkeys! The private neighborhood beach was absolutely gorgeous. It is a bit of a process getting there with small children and all their belongings, but completely worth it. Would be a breeze with just adults. Waves were a bit much for the kids one day but glad we went back to check it out later in the week. You need a vehicle given that the home is up island. But it’s fairly central, taking about 25 minutes to get to the major towns (OB, VH and Edgartown). Could be a bit far for those that want to be able to pop in and out of town but great for those that don’t mind being off the beaten path. All bedrooms (aside from the primary bedroom) have AC and were nice and cool for sleeping. The property is very “homey” decorated with funky art, lots of games, instruments, etc. making it feel lived in vs a sterile rental. Maryann answered all my questions prior to booking. Plan to return next summer and take advantage of that fabulous beach more next time!

    We needed a place to accommodate a few needs:1) enough beds/bedrooms for 9 adults (2 families 5+4) and bathrooms too. [With sheets, bath towels and extra toiletries if needed.] 2) close proximity to wedding venue. [Within 5 miles] 3) cooking/kitchen amenities. This home fulfilled them all and then some extras! Great livingroom/dining area, with sliding door leading to deck/patio, separate TV room, ping pong table, board games, bluetooth speakers, art supplies-drawing paper, pencils, pastels, paint. 4) access to walking paths and beach access. Highly recommend stayong here and would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a Fabulous place(home away from home) to get together with famy from long distances (Texas, Maryland, North Carolina, New York and Connecticut!) Precious (priceless) memories made!!!!!??
