The home itself was fine overall, but there were significant issues with management/service from Vacasa. First, we were given the wrong code and the code system never worked to lock/unlock the house for the entirety of our stay. We luckily found a key in an unlocked lockbox to the front door, but it was difficult to use - you could barely get the key out of the door. In addition, when trying to set up an account with Vacasa, I kept getting an error message -- and the fact that I could not talk to a human about the issues we encountered was extremely disappointing. Getting bot generated responses to my multiple inquiries was more than frustrating! Also, the lawn was horribly overgrown with long 2 ft grass/weeds. This was not what was depicted in the photos. Luckily our children are teens, it would be very disappointing to have small children and be unable to use the yard, that's why we rent in West Tisbury! We brought some lawn games like corn hole and spikeball that we were not able to use. Even using the grill was gross with weeds everywhere -- given the tick situation on the island this was a huge miss! Other things such as running out of propane after grilling twice and having the backup tank be empty is additional evidence of sloppy and lazy management. The outside umbrella was broken and unusable and half of the chairs on the patio were missing cushions. This whole situation felt like a money grab. Stay away from Vacasa!!

This home was located in a peaceful, quiet setting. It was incredibly clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. We had everything we needed and would love to return.

What a wonderful week with my college-age children at this lovely, clean and comfortable home! The home is ideally situated to easily explore all parts of the Vineyard (though the house is so peaceful we often delayed our outings to enjoy a little more time together on the back deck). From a well-outfitted kitchen (including a full assortment of cooking spices) to comfortable bedrooms to a full set of beach chairs, the homeowners added so many "extras" you don't find in other rentals. We'll be back!

As much as we tried, this property ended up being a big disappointment. First it was small things like the oven light and fan didn't work, the front door automatic PIN lock was broken (so they gave us a manual key that almost didn't work either, and the HDMI cable was almost broken off behind the TV so the TV barely worked. But then it became bigger things like the heat didn't work at all in at least two rooms. Never came on during the night. And then in two other rooms the heat never shut off. Also, the outside shower wasn't fully put together nor were the towel holders in the bathroom. And the last straw was while on my vacation I got admitted to the hospital and was checking out the morning our stay was over. I asked for a couple of hours extension to give us time to get all of our stuff out since I was just getting out and they said they had to charge me. If I were you, I would stay away from Vacasa, owner or renter. They don't take care of the properties or people very well.

Great house with lots of amenities. Good location and access to Lamberts Cove. Makes a great place to feel really immersed in the Vineyard

We travelled as a family with 2 small children. I love that the house has all the amenities we could ever need during our stay. It is located in such a nice and quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed watching the gorgeous sunset right in the living room. In the early morning, we saw a doe and her baby. Oh how whimsical! The weather is still a little chilly in late April but I feel like the large deck and yard would be a really nice hang out place in the warmer months. It’s only about 20 minutes drive to all the attractions and ferry in the island. I would highly recommend this place for families.
4.5
The house was perfect. The kitchen was stocked with the necessary cooking utensils/pots/etc. The decor was very relaxing and comforting. The furniture was stylish and useful (nice sectional couch and extra chairs).
We loved and were able to use the spacious back deck with the table and chairs.
We would 100% rent again.
4.5
The house is very homey and comfortable, complete with children's books in the bookcase, including the Penderwicks. In fact the house reminded my daughter and me of a summer retreat just like in the Penderwicks series.

Great time a little far away from the good beaches about a 20 min drive everywhere can’t really go to lamberts cove it’s private.
Needs new couch . Screen door didn’t work on deck and we fixed it. But nice decorations had all ammemities

Somewhat centered in the island makes it easy to get to the more populated areas. Beautiful wooded location with a great deck to hang out in the morning or later in the evening.

House was very nice house and yard. An outdoor fire pit would have been nice in the cool nights. The only minor issues was that the light switches didn’t make sense.

This was a lovely home just off State Road in West Tisbury, near the supermarket and several smaller stores. The home had an umbrella and beach chairs for the beach, and walk-on and a parking pass for gorgeous Lambert's Cove Beach which was great as that beach is private. The beds are comfortable and the house was very clean.
The only small minor (and they are minor) inconveniences were the AC systems were finicky. The return/thermostat is in the hallway, which made it very hard not to freeze out the bedrooms when the doors are closed at night. Also, don't expect a stocked kitchen. We left some basics (paper filters for the coffee maker, olive oil, soy sauce, sugar) but there was none of that stuff there to use when we arrived. They have pots/pans, but no real cooking supplies.
However, the house was comfortable, well located, and very clean and livable. Communication from Vacasa was very good. All in all, a very good experience.

This was a very nice property and met the majority of my expectations. Everything was well-furnished and it was very comfortable (although a little tricky to figure out the heating). The setting was beautiful, but be prepared for very bumpy, dirt roads to get there! And the key box is very tricky to open and the front door is even trickier to open! I had inquired before our visit as to the type of coffee maker and if the grill would be available. Unfortunately the responses I received did not match what was there on arrival. We were able to remedy things ourselves and get reimbursed, but it was just a pain that you shouldn't have to deal with things like that when you are vacationing AND you thought ahead to inquire. Also, it may have been noted, but I did not realize that the only full bathroom connected to the master and to the opposite hallway. Not a lot of privacy. All in all, this was a nice VRBO property, had no real problems, and was a very private getaway during Covid. Our family of 3 enjoyed the Christmas week there, especially the quick access the forest trails. If we hadn't encountered some minor problems, I would definitely give this property five stars.

We loved our stay at this beautiful home in West Tisbury. The home was very clean and recently updated with beautiful furnishings and decor. It was very comfortable for our family of four. The kitchen was well equipped, and the outdoor shower and deck was nice to come home to after a day at the beach. There were many special touches like beach chairs, umbrella, and totes to make our beach days more comfortable. The location was perfect. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with walking and biking trails that lead to beautiful pastures. Not to mention one of the nicest beaches on the island is right down the street! Another bonus is having central air. Not many houses we’ve rented on the island have it! We’d definitely stay here again!

I would rate this house in West Tisbury as one of the nicest, best located, and accommodating of all the places I have stayed on Martha's Vineyard. The house was exceptionally clean, modern, and had everything we needed, from beach chairs and an umbrella to yard games and an outdoor shower.
The setting of this house strikes the perfect balance of serenity to accessibility. You are very close to lovely hiking trails and beaches, perfect for a day full of activities but are also peacefully tucked away with quiet neighbors which makes for a nice end to each adventure.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and cannot recommend it enough!

The Island Retreat home is the perfect getaway for those looking to experience all the Vineyard has to offer. The ideal location from/to the ferry as well as all the enjoyable Vineyard towns makes for a fun filled vacation. The quiet, private neighborhood and back deck provide a great setting to enjoy a morning coffee or an afternoon/evening cocktail. Lambert's Cove (5 min drive) and its beautiful, private beach make for hours of sun-filled relaxation. The house has all the comforts of home while still always feeling like you're "away". We highly recommend the Island Retreat home!

Outdoor shower head did not work. Two chandeliers were on the dining room table when we arrived, fixed the next day. Getting gas for the grill was like pulling teeth. Phone contact with VACASA was more than frustrating especially in getting responses.
