Excellent Location in Chilmark. Great accommodation.

We spent two weeks on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard this summer, and the few days we spent here were the best. The communication with the host reserving the property, getting great advice regarding scheduling ferries, and information on Lucy Vincent Beach was incredible! We were able to go to Lucy Vincent Beach as a result of renting here and it was a beautiful few days. It was an incredible experience. Never have had a more communicative host.Very thoughtfully laid out home. Heating and air was excellent, a beautiful deck overlooking the pond, and incredibly clean. You’re less than a mile to Chilmark General Store and Chilmark Tavern, as well as to Menemsha. It’s a 20 minute drive to the other larger towns on the other side of the island. I definitely recommend people stay here if they want to enjoy the beauty of Martha’s Vineyard.

Beautiful quiet location

The house is in a beautiful setting close to stores and beach. A bit small for 3 adults but spotless and tasteful. The kitchen was very clean which I especially appreciated (particularly after a few "sticky" kitchens in expensive rentals). The picnic table outside allows to extend the eating space to the garden. Our hosts were responsive and discreet,

Perfect location. Clean and cozy. Private yard. A bit small, but was great for two adults and our dog! Christian was always available for any questions. He's a great host. Beautiful sunsets looking west across Menemsha pond, and a short walk to beach.

Wonderful secluded spot to appreciate nature

The cottage has been very thoughtfully updated without losing its simple beach charm. Wonderful walls of windows flow into the open landscape and water on the horizon. It’s a cozy space perfect for a couple or a small young family - although we visited in the fall, can imagine it would feel like true indoor/outdoor living during the summer months when the weather allows. A quiet dirt road on the sleepy side of the island was perfect for long walks with the dog each morning with our coffee. Would very happily stay again.

Beautiful & peaceful nature preserve cottage

This could not be more of a relaxing spot, located in a nature preserve area on the quiet side of MV. We were welcomed by many types of birds and a family of bunnies during our stay. It is very quiet and peaceful, with a few great spots for dining and access to resident only beaches which are never crowded. The deck is huge and the wrap around windows in the living room were really special. My only suggestion to other vacationers is to be aware the cottage is small, and the main bedroom is tight with only a full size matress, so it is a bit challenging if you’re used to a larger bed & bedroom. Overall my wife and I had a really nice & relaxing time.

A perfect escape

This beautiful little cottage with a view of the harbor was a perfect escape from our City life. The space is smartly laid out and the living room with glass walls on three sides is the perfect spot to relax with a book -- it was equally beautiful to watch a storm approach as it was to watch the sun set.

Change of scenery

Went here in May 2024 for my husband's 50th & a change of scenerty. Have been to MV many times but never stayed in Menemsha. This home was lovely - clean, serene, great yard for our mutt to run around. A few things to note for guests: it is in a very remote part of the island, so there is a lot of drive time (was fine for us); there are blackout curtains / shades, so you wake up with the sun (bring an eye mask); make sure you load up on groceries before you get to the house (especially ice); Chilmark is a dry town, so if you head to Chilmark Tavern (delightful place + 5 min drive from the house!) be sure to bring your favorite adult bev. Christian was very communicative the entire stay - super helpful. All in all, it was a really nice getaway.
