WATERFRONT Downtown Cottage w/ Beach

This is one of the most unique properties on Martha's Vineyard. Located directly on the bustling Vineyard Haven harbor & right across the street from the famous Black Dog Tavern, this cottage offers a truly immersive waterfront Vineyard experience - right in the thick of everything. Everything you could need - from public transportation, to groceries, to restaurants, beaches and so much more - is literally just steps outside the front door. The house was just remodeled and outfitted with all new furniture and appliances. The house is comprised of a fully equipped kitchen, living room, small dining area, 2 outdoor decks, 2nd floor master bedroom with full bath, and a downstairs 1/2 bath. Off-street parking for up to 2 vehicles - which is like GOLD in that area! If you’re arriving by way of your own boat, dock space can be reserved in advance at The Black Dog Wharf, Vineyard Haven Marina and Tisbury Wharf Company.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This is a superior listing. We just spent three nights (late March) at the cottage and it was extraordinary. We've stayed in a number of accommodations on MV and this was, by far, the best. The cottage is adorable, super clean, nicely outfitted (kitchen is right-sized for the cottage and has everything you'll need). The first night the wind was up a little bit and we could hear the waves gently hitting the shoreline (that's how close you are to the water). Sunrises were amazing. You are right in the mix (Vineyard Haven), steps to restaurants, shops, etc. We loved hearing and watching the ferries come and go. Magical. Mike was super accommodating and a great communicator.

A great weekend getaway

A true Vineyard oasis! I have been coming to the Vineyard for a few years and this by far was the best house and in the best location. Mike was very accommodating, attentive and the residence was spotless. This was our first time lodging in Vineyard Haven as we’ve only lodged in Oak Bluffs, we’ve found our new home away from home.

Perfect Martha’s Vineyard Getaway

Mike was a great host. He communicated very well for the check in and check out process. The house itself is amazing. Perfect for two adults. It is beautifully decorated and appointed well. The location on the harbor could not be better. Close to the Ferry. Plenty to do near by. We did not bring a vehicle and used our bikes to traverse the island.We loved relaxing on the porches and watching all the harbor activity. Every window framed the spectacular view. We can’t wait to return!

Another excellent stay

This is our second visit to Mikes' beachfront cottage and we have nothing but great things to say. If you are looking for a place to unwind and relax while taking in the views of the harbor, this is the place for you. All modern amenities are available at your disposal. The bath towels are plush, thick, and high quality. The bed is comfortable, the bedding is soft, and the pillows will have you dreaming in no time. We rented a jeep during our stay and loved the ease of coming and going with our own parking spot. We didn't cook at all because there are so many great restaurants to explore on the island including the one directly next door, The Black Dog Tavern. I highly recommend a stay at this cottage.
