About this house rental
Our cozy, post and beam Vineyard home was built in 1984 by a renowned architect who designed several homes in Nat's Farm. The peaceful, wooded setting is a refreshing option from the busy townships. There is a large first-floor Master Suite, plus two bedrooms upstairs (1 queen, 1 w/twin bunks plus a trundle). The downstairs bathroom has a walk-in shower and there is a spacious private outdoor shower easily accessible from the master bedroom. The upstairs bathroom contains a tub/shower. All bedrooms are private from the main living space. The fully stocked kitchen/living area is open with vaulted ceilings, large fireplace and comfortable furniture.
Outdoor amenities include a large deck with gas grill for outdoor dining, outdoor shower, and lots of lawn for games or relaxation. The property is adjacent to the state forest and bike paths that connects you to much of the island. It is very convenient to many of the Vineyard's beautiful beaches and towns for shopping, galleries, and dining. Several wonderful hiking trails, through much of the island's conservation land, are within four miles of our home.
FERRY PASSES: If you book prior to the start of the Steamship Authority’s Headstart reservation window (generally beginning of January), you will receive the form to reserve tickets prior to ticket release to the general public.

We spent two blissful weeks at this beautiful house this summer. Its proximity to Ned’s Farm, a serene wild meadow surrounded by a walking path, inspired many morning walks. The bike path through the State Forest is accessible about a minute away, through a wooded trail. The house itself is sunny and airy, and in addition to the lovely, open spaces around the dining room/living room, the kitchen is nicely equipped for cooking and baking. The location, off the beaten path but minutes from West Tisbury, is a perfect spot for exploring the island, and for hiding out and relaxing. And the host was responsive and helpful whenever we needed anything. We look forward to returning.

We really enjoyed the location. (- beautiful meadow and access to bike trails). We decided to pay for beach access to Lamberts Cove and were so happy we were eligible to do so because the house was in West Tisbury! We enjoyed the house, but we also stayed the week of the heat wave so no AC was s little rough but we all survived! Would definitely stay there again!

Loved the architecture, location, comfort. Thin doors between rooms - bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

Perfect for families with one adult couple and children. Less ideal for two couple share because of one generous first floor bedroom - one with queen bed upstairs was cramped.

This was the second time we stayed at this house for a week and it was just as good as the first time! The location is perfect - removed from the busier towns but right on the bike path and a short drive to surrounding towns. The house is comfortable and has everything you'd need. Thanks for opening up your home for others to enjoy!

Property was very clean when we arrived and had everything our family of 5 needed for the week. Great space - thoughtfully designed. Location is beautiful with access to the bike trails. Can’t wait to go back!

The property and the town the home is located in is a serene, peaceful setting with walking/running/biking trails. On a 56 acre farm. Very beautiful! A nature lovers dream. Very much enjoyed this..
Don’t like to be negative.. however, the negative aspect of the home is the cleanliness.. the master bath had an unpleasant odor. Bathroom floor was dirty and old. I cleaned the toilet quite a few times myself.
I would recommend having home thoroughly cleaned before next renter arrives.
Overall, did enjoy our stay!

We stayed for a week at this house and it was just perfect! If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful place this is it. Its proximity to the bike trails and to the Farmers Market make it great. The owners were super helpful and we really enjoyed our stay. Already hoping to make another trip next summer!

My family absolutely loved our stay in this incredibly designed architectural treasure. It was well equipped with everything we needed. YES it is in the middle of the vineyard, but it is literally less than a 15 minute drive to absolutely everything! Lamberts cove is a must do for sure…. Its soo special and only renters and owners in West Tisbury have access. Don’t miss this opportunity!! The master and upstairs bedroom both had a mattress topper which was a pleasant surprise!! Important: for people who are worried about there being no Air conditioning, we were there the 3rd week of July during a New England heatwave and had absolutely NO issues with it being hot in the house. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!!!

The home is beautiful and in a gorgeous location with views out to a idyllic field. Situated in a hidden location backing protected lands - we felt like we were truly away from the hustle and bustle. We brought our dogs and chose the location because Lamberts Cove has leash free beach time every a.m. where I swam while my dogs ran and played. There is also a shady and large fenced in dog run nearby across from the Black Dog cafe. We took a day trip out to Chappy to the Mytoi garden. We took a guided meditation labyrinth walk at Felix Neck Sancuary. And spent many happy hours in the waves at Aquinna. We bought rolls and made our own lobster rolls / purchasing at John’s fish market - avg lob roll is $30 - but we bought a lb for $75 and made our own! Yummmm! Crowning gem to our vacation was a ride n a huge catamaran called Mad Max in Edgar Town at sunset. What a sail! We hiked with the dogs - and avoided the poison ivy! Poison ivy is everywhere - but we learned that it’s berries provide essential fats to the birds in the fall to survive winter! The home was cool and comfortable at night - so quiet and a cool breeze wafted through. The out door shower was perfect for all bathing needs! Loved every minute we were here! Thank you to Cindy who is a fast responder to all questions- a true hostess! Thanks!!

We had a great stay. Much biking. Daily beaching and swimming. A very summer week right at summer’s beginning. Thank you!

This house is the place for relaxation and unwinding. High ceilings, exposed wood beams and an open floor plan are quintessential Martha's Vinyard. Great location - private yet close to the bike path. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed really staying in this house and had a very relaxing two weeks. The open barn-like space was both familiar and comfortable. The kitchen is simply laid out but had everything we needed (pots, pans, and other cookware). Cindy is very quick to respond to questions and is very knowledgable about the island. They have done some renovations recently that were well appreciated, especially the updated master bath. The house is literally 50 feet for a bike path that you can use to bike to Edgartown or around the airport. There are many places to rent a bike if you don’t bring one.
A couple of points about the Vineyard that are worth noting, especially if you haven’t been there before. Making reservations for the ferry can be a trail, especially in high season. Book as soon as you can and if you don’t get the times or dates that you want make sure to put your name on the wait list. The Vineyard is not the most dog friendly place and finding places to walk takes some investigation. Access to the ocean side beaches is vey limited, you can go to the nearby Long Point beach that is run by the Trustees of Reservations, but you’ll need to reserve when you go, or you can drive down to Chappaquiddick. The town of West Tisbury does have a beach at Lambert’s Cove for residents and renters but it’s on the bay side of the island. Lastly, the Vineyard is expensive, we brought as much food as we could fit in our car.
If you’re looking for an uncomplicated and comfortable place to read and cook, I suggest book here.

Great location being mid island and proximity to bike trail. Comfortable and as described in listing. Everything we needed for an enjoyable family vacation.

The house and area were perfect for our dogs; There was plenty of room and privacy at the house. Cindy was very responsive and communication was very good with her as a host. However, the house needs a lot of work. Having no AC would not have been a problem, but only one ceiling fan worked, at least half the windows were broken and would not open. The dishwasher leaked on the floor both times that we attempted to use it and most of the wall switches did not work. The post and beam property could be beautiful but the owners do not seem to be making the necessary repairs. I wouldnt recommend the property.

Beautiful post and beam home, bathed in wood with an open, spacious feel that brings one close to nature. Great location!

The house was clean, perfect location, and well stocked for cooking. Being right on the bike path is very convenient and a short car ride from many attractions. Very easy communication with the owner and I would definitely rent this property again.

We loved this place! Awesome location right off the bike trails, near Alley's Market and very central. While not a big house, the high, wood-beamed ceiling made it feel spacious. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, and we treasured the access to the calm, clean and beautiful beach at Lambert's Cove. We plan to be back!
5.0
We had a wonderful and very relaxing 2 week vacation. Cindy was great, answered all our questions clearly and accurately. The house is close to everything (Lambert's Cove, Long Point, Alley's, Chilmark, bike path...etc), well equipped, comfortable and clean. We couldn't have chosen a better place. We would rent again without any hesitation!
