If you're looking for a charming, rustic cottage away from the crowds of Martha's Vineyard, this is the place for you. Comfortable, beautiful ocean view, and a quick walk to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness of the place.

This is a cute, clean and well stocked cottage that was just right for our family of 5. There was plenty of space for the kids to play games and do crafts inside, but we spent most of our time outdoors. The private beach lot access was a generous part of the rental perks and saved the somewhat lengthy hike to Moshup Beach from the public parking lot with 3 young children. Without all the beach stuff, we walked to the beach from the cottage, all the way around the cliffs, up to the shops for lunch, toured the lighthouse, then walked to the cottage along the road. Andrew was very responsive with any questions or concerns. The suggestion about purchasing groceries on the way in makes a lot of sense given the remoteness of the location, but we made the trip into town after arriving and it was not a big deal. One thing to note is that the beach below the house is clothing optional, not a huge deal either, but just an unexpected conversation with the kids! We would definitely return!

A lovely deck right off of the kitchen where we had coffee every morning and read our books until our children woke up. Amazing walks on the beach a minute or two from the cottage with cliffs reflecting colors of natural minerals just below the lighthouse perch snd views of the chain of Elizabeth islands. Definitely one of our favorite family vacations!

Andrew and Ann were wonderful hosts - they provided helpful tips for the cottage and even brought us a new BBQ grill during our stay because the prior one had rusted. Their cottage is a tranquil oasis overlooking the Sound. The kitchen is modern and well-stocked and the deck was a perfect place to enjoy our meals. We loved the private access to the beaches in Aquinnah, including being able to walk to the beach right in front of the house. We really cannot recommend this cottage highly enough! We hope to be back.

Our small family (2 adults, 1 3 year old) had a wonderful stay in the cottage. The description and photos are very accurate and was exactly what we were looking for - well appointed, functional, and clean. The gated access to Moshup beach is amazing - we tried a few other beaches, and kept coming back because there was no place more pristine or beautiful. The kitchen was surprisingly well stocked with pots/pans/utensils (there is even a blender and a food processor). The view is truly phenomenal - our favorite activity was to watch the water and the stars. As other reviewers have noted, the house is 35+ minutes from the towns (restaurants, stores, etc.), which was fine for us, but potential renters should make sure that is what you are looking for.

Our family stayed here for a week in late May. The house is very clean and well maintained. Access to the beach under the cliffs is extremely easy and close, perfect sunset views every night. The "key beach" at Moshup is outstanding, an extremely unique and rare experience to be able to spend a day there. Owner Andrew is fantastic - very communicative, prompt, and helpful . We can't wait to come back!

It was hard to tear ourselves away from this perfect beach cottage with expansive views of Vineyard Sound, the Elizabeth Islands and beyond. Very clean, quiet, comfortable and well-stocked. We walked from the private beach around Gay Head to Moshup Beach. Fantastic to see the cliffs from a different vantage point. We would love to visit again.

Situated right at the edge of Vineyard Sound, this property is perfect for a long-term stay and remote work. The WiFi is fast, the kitchen well-equipped, and the vistas from the sunroom are perfect to begin and close the day. We enjoyed strolling along the beach and being further out from some of the major towns. Andrew was incredibly responsive to all questions and concerns throughout our stay. Would highly recommend staying here, and would love to return!

Our stay was to visit family who lives on the island and this was the perfect home away from home for our small family of 4. It is secluded and if you've not been to the island, it is about 30 minutes from the main areas. We knew this and we were looking for a spot secluded to relax. The views of the water from the property are amazing. The house was clean and we'll stocked. We would definitely stay again!

Vineyard Paradise

Vineyard Paradise

We have now come here two consecutive years and it only gets better. Located “up island”, this is a perfect spot to get away from the hustle and hassle of the other more populated parts of the island during the summer. You are walking distance to the water and several choices of restaurants. Of course you can always cook at home if you prefer. This is a wonderful, spacious cottage overlooking the Vineyard Sound. It’s positioned in such a way that you get breezes from any and all locations, making every day and night extremely comfortable. There are a tremendous amount of birds and other wildlife that call the surrounding trees home. We even had deer come directly up to the cottage and pose for photos! Andrew is a gracious host and does exactly what you want from a VRBO landlord – he has your accommodations fully ready for you and never meddles in your vacation at any time, yet he is always available for any questions. The cottage is clean and everything works perfectly. We have never encountered such an enchanted place that can really help you forget about the “outside world” while you are there, and even weeks later the calming effects are still with us. Looking for a quiet place to get away from it all, be a part of the island that isn’t over developed and enjoy unparalleled scenery? Then this is the place for you. Could go on and on, but it’s something you’d have to experience yourself.

Wonderful private property with amazing views

Wonderful private property with amazing views

This is a great property for those trying to have a truly relaxing vacation. The location is very private and beautiful, with incredible panoramic views of the Vineyard Sound and access to an essentially private beach. Our family of four stayed in the house and entertained guests through the week - we were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment, though the electric stove top was a little temperamental. Porch was incredible to just sit and watch the ship traffic, and the main living room of the house offered the same incredible views through the vast number of windows lining the walls. The house had a great cottage feel, perfect for doing puzzles or just enjoying time together with family. A few ants and bugs popped up from time to time, but was no big deal. Also, being the Vineyard, there were some ticks as well, but the property owner promptly had the grass mowed and path to the beach weed whacked when this was brought to his attention and it really helped. Overall, the property and property owner were great and we would definitely rent here again.

Exactly as described--perfect!

Exactly as described--perfect!

Just returned from 3 days at Andrew's cottage and we're already thinking about our return trip. While the summer weather is warmer on the vineyard, we like to take advantage of the empty beaches and roads. The cottage was exactly as we pictured it, and more. Very short walk to the beach, so no extra driving. The ocean views from the living room, kitchen and deck made it so easy to relax. Well appointed with everything you need and extremely clean. Thank you!
