Sanctuary House: An ocean-view farmhouse retreat

Experience the unique beauty of Martha’s Vineyard with pastoral farm views on one side and views of the Vineyard Sound and Elizabeth Islands on the other…all from the same home. Sanctuary House is a newly renovated farm house which highlights the iconic architecture of Martha’s Vineyard.
Water and sunset views, chef’s kitchen and hot tub make this property a gem.
Sanctuary House is the perfect retreat for couples, families and friends who are looking to experience the magic of Martha’s Vineyard.

Sanctuary House offers a first floor primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom, cast iron soaking tub, washer/dryer and hot tub right outside the bedroom door. The upstairs offers 3 sun-filled cozy bedrooms, 2 of them with stunning water views.

The house has a brand new, beautifully renovated kitchen with views of the Vineyard Sound. Prepare your meals while watching the boats go by in the day and dramatic sunsets in the evening. The kitchen has a chef’s grade induction stove, refrigerator with ice and filtered water, double-drawer dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and many other kitchen amenities. Also enjoy fresh farm eggs from our flock!

The open living room and dining area is full of windows and light with doors that connect to the outside patio and expansive yard. The outdoor dining area is a wonderful place to enjoy al fresco meals and relax around the fire pit while looking at the water and taking in a sunset.

There is an indoor wood burning fireplace as well as an outdoor Solo smokeless fire pit. The outdoor shower is a must after a long, sandy day at the beach.

Sanctuary House is located steps from the Cedar Tree Neck Sanctuary- the most beloved walking and hiking trails on the island. The trails wind through the forest and along the coastline offering spectacular ocean vista views along the way. Sanctuary House comes with a pass to Lambert’s Cove Beach- one of the most beautiful beaches on the island.

The truly unique experience while staying at Sanctuary House is the opportunity to enjoy the farm beauty- our 3 horses, flock of chickens and the iconic Martha’s Vineyard antique barn. Wake up to farm fresh eggs from our ladies and watch the horses grazing in the field while sipping your morning coffee or enjoying your evening cocktail.

Experience the ocean and farm magic of Martha's Vineyard at beautiful Sanctuary House.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Beautiful farmhouse for family retreat

We had an amazing trip to the Sanctuary House this Spring just before tourist season on Martha's Vineyard. Its location in West Tisbury was a welcome change from the vibes of Oak Bluffs or Edgartown, and it is nestled amongst a few beautiful farms and overlooks the water in the distance. The island was still very quiet, but there were great amenities for cooking and enjoying family meals on the property such that we were not at all reliant on restaurants being open. The bedrooms were very comfortable, particularly the master suite on the first floor. Can't recommend staying here enough!

This property is a fantastic place to use as a tranquil base camp for exploring Martha's Vineyard. The property itself is secluded with a great view out to the water, and having farm animals close by is fun. The house is cute and cozy with many modern touches. The hosts are incredibly nice and left us a few fun bakery surprises, but were never intrusive. Looking forward to going back!

Amazing peaceful space

This is such a special place on the island. Peaceful, private, quiet and charming. Haven made sure our stay was memorable; we even had the freshest eggs imaginable in a basket awaiting our arrival. Haven spent some of her busy morning telling us about her farm and the chickens; we got a great education and got to meet “the girls”! I highly recommend this space. Was perfect for four adults.
