Classic Cape home with full kitchen, W/D, firepit & gas grill - walk to beach

Aquinnah, Massachusetts, United States

Whistling Hill HousebrbrOur calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'brbrNamed for the sea breezes that circle this charming and unique home, the Whistling Hill House is nestled alongside the Martha’s Vineyard Land Trust, ensuring a private and peaceful vacation. A five-minute walk takes you to Lobsterville Beach for swimming in the sound. Come home and wash off salt water and sand in the outdoor shower, then sunbathe on one of the two decks. brbrOcean swimming is an eight-minute drive away at the beach, rated one of the 20 most beautiful in the world - the Moshup Public beach, with the spectacular-colored cliffs as background setting and the Gay Head Lighthouse overlooking the scene. brbrFor the best young children’s swim and play time, a saltwater pond is another short drive away. Menemsha Pond is also a nice place for a birding walk or a longer walk along beautiful Lighthouse Road. The traditional fishing town of Menemsha, still an active place to pick up the freshest fish available on the island as well as antiques and other niceties, is of course accessible by car - but is also easy to get to via the five-minute bike ferry operated between Aquinnah and Menemsha.brbrWHAT’S NEARBYbrThe Orange Peel Bakery is a Wampanoag-owned local bakery with an outdoor brick pizza oven, extraordinary homemade pies, and many other goodies. A 10-minute walk or three-minute drive up Lobsterville Road (in the opposite direction of the ocean), this spot often hosts summer pizza nights where folks decorate their own pies with various toppings.br brAt the top of the Aquinnah Cliffs, above the ocean beach, is a historic lookout where you can watch the sunrise and sunset with breathtaking views. The Aquinnah Shop Restaurant features one way of doing this while dining, but there are also a group of small shops and eateries which line the road to the top of the Cliffs. World-class clam chowder is available (comparing and rating the best chowder is an annual activity)!br brInsights into local Wampanoag history and ongoing life can be found at the Aquinnah Cultural Center (a mini-museum), where summer workshops have included craft-making sessions, artist demonstrations, and book launches.br brAs noted, walks from easy to strenuous can be had just from the house - along Lobsterville Beach Road around the peninsula, to the ocean beach, cliffs, and lighthouse, or Menemsha Pond and the docks to the ferry to the town of Menemsha.brbrTHINGS TO KNOWbr5 window AC units are available, one in each bedroom, one in the living room, and one in the common room.brStreaming is available using your own accounts.brThe woodstoves are not operational.brThe full kitchen does not have a dishwasher.brbrParking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.brbrbrbrDamage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.brMore information can be downloaded from the Rental Agreement on the checkout page.brbrDue to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 21 years of age to book. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.

Magical House in the Trees with Water View - Secluded Area

Aquinnah, Massachusetts, United States

Our home is a simple, quaint beach house on a quiet dirt road. We are the first house on the right so no long, bumpy dirt road to navigate. Windows everywhere looking over the treetops. Sun filled great room with open kitchen, living room, and dining area. Kitchen features a Bertazonni stove where the gourmet cook can continue chatting with the guests or family while whipping up dinner. Living room/ dining room areas flow in spacious style perfect for family hanging out or entertaining guests. Screened porch extends the main floor to allow meals or lounging in the shade - bug free! brbrTwo upstairs bedrooms connect to a sunny deck with views of the Vineyard Sound when leaves are sparse. Private sunbathing way above the treetops. Primary bedroom has it's own small deck for private moments in the sun and an attached master bath. Outdoor shower with changing area plus shower. Large fenced yard with a fire pit ready and waiting for Smores at night. brbrWe are not pet friendly in general but we are open to discussing some exceptions for extremely conscientious dog owners. Please talk with us about this. brbrThis Sandcastle is just off Lighthouse Road - quiet and private, yet just minutes away from three beautiful beaches, the Gay Head Cliffs with shops and food stands, nationally known Orange Peel Bakery (Wednesday night make-your-own pizza nights are popular with islanders and summer folks alike). Quick access to Philbin Ocean Beach: one of the most beautiful ocean beaches on the island. Town permit will allow parking at all Aquinnah beaches. brbrOr bike down to Lobsterville pond for a kayak or sailing lesson, and then take your bike across the tiny bike ferry to Menemsha, the Vineyard's one of a kind fishing village. Quaintness on steroids. Eat fried clams at The Galley, or buy a hot lobster-to-go at The Homeport and feast on the beach. brbrThe Sandcastle is a magical retreat but has easy access to the many delights of up-island living. Fifteen minute drive will take you to Chilmark's General Store (groceries, the best pizza on the island, a front porch full of rockers that are filled from 6AM to dusk with folks eating, reading, chatting, and people-watching.) In Chilmark you can also find the gorgeous Chilmark Library, the Community Center for kids and family events, with basketball and tennis courts available to the public. The Chilmark Tavern is a top island restaurant but with a relaxed atmosphere. BYOB - Chilmark is dry. brbrAquinnah is 30 minutes away from the bustle and traffic of down island towns - but still close enough to head in for fine dining, movies, shopping and exploration of other island beaches.brbrWIFI IS AVAILABLE. (Note: There is no TV. But great wifi for watching stuff on your laptops!) brbrThe house also has a state-of-the-art Bluetooth speaker called a Phantom. (See www.en.deviolet.com/phantom/discover). Link your device to the Phantom and play your music (Pandora, Spotify, your itune selections) with an amazing sound. (Just please don't blast out the neighbors! The Phantom can get LOUD - with no distortion.) brbrThe house is stocked with baby-toddler equipment - a travel crib, high chair, toddler booster seat to strap onto a chair at the dining table, baby gate to block the stairs, and toddler plates, cups and utensils. Also a couple of toy wagons and large push trucks stored in the basement. brbrCome have a vacation you will remember. Fall in love with a house as we did. Sandcastle is a really special spot.
