About this house rental

This immaculate vacation rental is situated in the exclusive Oyster Pond enclave with boat access to its private beach. The property's seven acres afford a serene privacy that’s difficult to match, yet is conveniently located for easy access to downtown Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, and Vineyard Haven - and for heading up island.

Aptly called the “Dream House” by Architectural Digest, the home is graced by cathedral ceilings and a central cupola. Its flow and energy transport one to a space where time is measured by the arcs of the sun and moon.

This is an "upside down house" with the living and dining areas, kitchen and primary bedroom suite located on the top floor. On the first floor - encircling the stunning custom curved staircase - are three more bedrooms, a library, a laundry room and a bathroom with its double vanity sink separate from the bath and toilet.

Two large decks — perfect for morning coffee, sunning, grilling, cocktails and dining — flank the house and overlook the surrounding huckleberry fields and lively forest. The dining area and fully-appointed kitchen also provide a lovely view to the sprawling lawn below for watching playful kids.

Flat panel TVs grace all rooms including the library, which is perfect for an evening children's movie, or as an office (with monitor and wireless printer/copier/fax). There is also a kids' corner upstairs with toys, games, puzzles, art supplies, play tent, and a telescope to explore the night sky. A high chair, booster seats, safety gate for kids and dogs, and Pack 'n Play are available in addition to kids’ plates, utensils, bibs, and bowls for pets.

The house is stocked with necessities so you can leave room in your car for personal items: luxuriant linens & bath towels, beach towels & blankets, and kitchen and bath products. We also provide a picnic basket, portable cooler w/wheels, cold packs and beach-appropriate dining gear.

Six bikes and helmets of varying sizes are provided to tour the island. Additional bikes can be rented and delivered. A bike path is accessible at the head of Oyster Pond Road. Also provided are two standup paddle boards, three kayaks, lawn games (bocce, crochet, corn hole, frisbee golf, Kubb, badminton), hammocks, shellfish catching tools, beach toys, umbrella, life preservers, and a collapsible, large-wheeled beach carry all. A Siemens 30A EV charger is ready to replenish your EV.

Only 150 yards from the house is the boat ramp to the pond. You may use our motor boat (from mid April to Thanksgiving, pond levels permitting), kayaks and standup paddle boards to explore the beauty of the pond and to reach the private association South Shore barrier beach: shallow and calm, warmer waters on the pond side, with surf and the occasional harbor seals on the ocean side. An adjacent beach is accessible by car only a few minutes away at Long Point Wildlife Refuge, owned by the Trustees of Reservations. Upon your return, a warm outdoor shower beckons. And a firepit, with kindling and split wood awaits with skewers for s’mores to finish a perfect Vineyard day.

We had a great week at the house. Dawn was very helpful with all logistical planning and proactive in communicating that the house was ready as we were already on island. It’s the best stocked house we’ve rented. Beach chairs, bikes, lawn games, kids games for inside, and everything was incredibly easy to find. Kitchen is great, all you need to do is show up. Thank you for the hospitality!

The property is even more stunning than the pictures. This is the perfect place for a family getaway. We had 3 generations with us and the layout of the house was so comfortable for everyone. When the host says they have everything, believe them! We VRBO all the time, and this was, by far, the best appointed house we have ever been in. They thought of everything you could need for a Vineyard vacation, for all ages, and provided it. We only needed to bring our clothes! The location on the island is great. Close to all of the towns, Morning Glory Farms, the creamery, and it's very easy to get Up Island. All the directions for the use of equipment, beach, boat etc. were clear and complete. The communication prior to arriving was very helpful. The beach was lovely and private. The owners answered any of our questions quickly if we had them. They made our stay special and delightful. If I had one complaint it would be that we had to go home!

We had a wonderful stay at this property for a family of 7. Plenty of room, great a/c for keeping us comfortable during the heat wave and great hosts! This is a well cared for and updated property, located just minutes away from the restaurants and beaches. You won’t be disappointed!

We had the most amazing family vacation at this perfect retreat. The home was impeccably clean and had everything we needed. It was private, beautiful, and incredibly relaxing. The location was perfect—quiet yet conveniently close to everything. The condition of the home and the decor were flawless; we couldn't have asked for better. We all felt at home during our weeklong stay and wished we had stayed longer! The owners were incredible—so kind, helpful, and always available for recommendations if needed. We highly recommend this place and hope to return soon!

The pictures do not do this house justice. You couldnt ask for a better host than Dawn. She helped me with figuring out traveling to the island. She provides everything you could possibly think of needing. The island is beautiful. People are very friendly. We used the boat several times to go to the beach and saw two sea lions!! The bikes were great way to sightsee. I couldn't recommend this place more!
