FAQ - Privacy in a Glass House - Although the house is 100% glass, 100% privacy can be achieved as all the walls have curtains which can be closed for complete privacy. We typically recommend having the curtains open to enjoy the floor to ceiling views of the natural surroundings, and achieve the intended feeling of the living space's integration into the nature surroundings, but all rooms (bathrooms, bedrooms, etc) can be 100% private as you would need and expect.

Joes place is absolutely gorgeous, interesting and unpretentious in a picture perfect location. We were two families with tweens and teens and we had an absolute blast making meals for everyone, walking to the cove to wade and explore, and of course heading out to the beach. The house itself is an incredible experience, cannot recommend it enough. A total joy.

This house is truly unique, and very true to its setting. It is a ring of rooms, all with glass and screen walls, surrounding a central courtyard. It makes you feel indoors and outdoors at the same time - in the best possible way! rcomfortable and we

Exceptional in every way. This house is an energy-shifter. The minute you walk into the front door, the interior garden greets you and sets the tone to a most peaceful, invigorating setting. Think: living in the comfort of being inside without obstructions to the natural architecture of trees,impeccable gardens with screens doors throughout providing a constant breeze, as if you’re outside. The house is gloriously rustic yet modernized and squeaky clean. The vibe of this home & property is unmatched. We had the bonus of experiencing a rainy evening & overnight where the interior garden turned into an oasis of waterfalls created by the amazing design to hydrate the garden while creating a soothing soundscape. This, plus the rain sounds against the ceiling glass panels was an incredible treat. The outdoor shower was heavenly!! A highlight of each day for all of us. Beds were very very comfortable. Towels and linens, lush and ample. Beach towels and beach gear, aplenty. If you like to cook as we do, the kitchen is a chef’s dream. Everything you need, you will find. We were: 4 adults and 4 teens.

I brought my 16 yr old daughter here with 4 of her friends as well as my 18yo and her best friend. This was the perfect set up for us. The 7 teens aged 16-18 loved the glass house and having rooms set around the courtyard. The girls were up late playing board and card games in the dining room every night. For me it was perfect to have the studio set away from the main house where I could retire to early. We have been coming to Chilmark for 13 years and this house was so unique and had many neat features. The outdoor shower was the best outdoor shower experience I have ever had - the bamboo surrounding and spacious shower were highlights! Proximity to menemsha was great. 15 min walk to menemsha for the best sunsets ever which is nice since parking can be tricky at menemsha. Thank you Joe for a great stay!

A unique house in a beautiful, natural setting away from town. Gorgeous sunset views from the deck, living room and kitchen. If you like an outdoor shower, this one rocks! Overall great stay. This may not be the house for you if you have small children, as the walls really are all glass and there aren't rails on the wrap around decks.

We so enjoyed our week at the Glasshouse! The open-air layout was unique and gave the wonderful feeling of practically living outdoors, which was wonderful on breezy days and cool nights and harder on full-sun days and humid nights, though the house is well-supplied with fans. We felt like we were living in a treehouse, in the best way. Outdoor shower was a treat, house well-equipped with a modern, well-appointed kitchen. Nice linens, bathrobes, towels.... everything you need. (Roku TV was an added bonus, so we could watch Wimbledon with our Fubo!) Joe was a communicative and friendly host, making our stay relaxing as can be.
