About this house rental
This exquisite and secluded waterfront property on 4.5 acres is minutes from the historic Gay Head cliffs and lighthouse and features a private path to a quiet beach. The house is spacious and modern, with 4 bedrooms opening onto large decks overlooking the water with a full view of the Elizabeth Islands, Vineyard Sound and spectacular sunsets, and a fifth bedroom with one full bed. You may decide to spend most of your time lounging on the comfortable outdoor furniture on the deck, drinking a glass of wine (or your preferred drink) and watching the sun set into the water.
The large kitchen is fully equipped and the dining area comfortably seats 12. The house is close to the beautiful Philbin Beach and the unique clay cliffs, and to Menemsha Pond, which is ideal for clamming, sailing, and is safe for toddlers and small children who delight in exploring its warm shallow water.

couldn't have been better!
This trip was a girls trip for myself and my best friend of 35 years, and my 25 year old daughter and her best friend.
This being our first trip to MV we really just guessed where to stay. Aquinnah was the perfect choice for a quiet and restful vacation.
This home was absolutely LOVELY! The photos shown... like trying to capture a photo of a magnificent sunset... do not do this home justice. The view is unbeatable. The home beautiful , comfortable and perfectly designed to provide shared as well as private space.
It was a wonderful and peaceful home base after exploring more populated and tourist parts of the island .
None of us wanted to leave! And... We are already talking about making it an annual get together!

There are so many amazing things I can say about this home- it is so spacious and comfortable- an amazing place to make memories. Every bedroom but one has an amazing ocean front view. Judy is a lovely host, the home has everything you need for a decadent vacation. My absolute favorite part was waking up every morning after sleeping under the most comfortable sheets to an ocean front view complete with seals and sandpipers. I highly recommend this home.

Fantastic home and an incredible outdoor living space / deck overlooking the Elizabeth Islands
The house exceeded all expectations. If you are looking to unplug and relax you will not be disappointed. Extremely well equipped, comfortable beds, tremendous water views and the sounds of the waves putting you to sleep this fits the bill.

Loved this home: light-filled, beach-front, quiet, comfortable, gorgeous location!
Our family loved our stay at this beach-front, quiet home. The house was light-filled and comfortable with beautiful bedrooms, a spacious family room, vaulted ceilings, multiple decks, and gorgeous views from every room. We loved the peaceful Aquinnah location. We walked and fished along the beach and even enjoyed the scenic drive to Edgartown every day. We saw lots of birds, deer, rabbits and even a seal and some turkeys nearby. We were walking distance to the tennis court across the road. Fantastic family vacation location for all ages. The owners were wonderful and accessible and provided lots of helpful information. Dogs are allowed so we will definitely bring them with us next time. We hope to return again soon!

FANTASTIC!!
Probably one of the finest houses in Aquinnah.
Location is just great.
The owner was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed.
In every part of the house you can see directly the sea!!!
The beach is close, with a beautiful staircase that descends on the beach exactly halfway between the rocky shore of Gay Head and the sandy beach of Dog Fish Bar.
The house is spacious and comfortable, equipped with everything you need.
I will definitely return !!

Amazing Sunsets
The house was great and had everything we needed. We walked the beach in both directions each day. The sunsets were to die for and Judy was a dream to work with. All and all a great place to call home on vacation!

Truly Magical! Private Gem on the Water!
Wonderful property! We spent 10 days here in Oct & shared the house with several couples. We picked this spot because it is on the remote end of the island with less crowds & traffic. The house is clean & the bedrooms are very spacious. The kitchen is completely functional & has everything you need. Bring/buy your food , grill/cook & take in the amazing views from the large dining room table. Lots of space in this house! We made occasional runs to the Menemsha fish markets for fresh fare (about a 15 minute drive from the house). The house location is very secluded, private & dramatic. A wide back deck affords glorious views the Vineyard Sound & Elizabeth Islands. Step off the deck, walk 30 seconds down a path & arrive at the beach staircase. Below the stairs is a beautiful rocky beach & prime, outstanding fishing. We caught stripers & bluefish directly below the house, especially around sunset. If you want to swim, walk a few minutes right to Dog Fish Bar where it is very sandy. This location showcases nature at its best! From both the deck & the beach, we spotted large seals swimming parallel to shore about 75 yards away - a special treat! The seals were curious & looking at us when they came up for air. Great bird watching too. We hiked along the beach, turning left from the stairs, past the dramatic Aquinnah cliffs to Aquinnah beach, up the paths & back home along the road. This is a wonderful 4-ish mile loop that you won't want to miss - best to walk it at low tide. We absolutely LOVED our stay & can't wait to plan a return visit!
