About this apartment rental
Walk to the beach!
Featuring a wraparound porch, ocean views from every room, outdoor (and indoor) shower, grill, and outdoor dining space.
**Please Note: Sheets and towels are not provided.**
This comfortable two bedroom condo is very close to the GayHead Lighthouse and only slightly further to its local shops, which include a small grocery store, souvenir places, snacks, coffee shop, and restaurant. Walk to the most beautiful beach on Martha's Vineyard — 11 minutes door to ocean — or bike to secluded Lobsterville Beach. Take the bike ferry to Menemsha, where you will find fresh fish markets, more locally owned shops, kayaking, restaurants, and world-famous (for real) sunsets.
Enjoy easy access by car or bus to all the lovely small towns Martha's Vineyard is known for, and then come back to the loveliest of all for a quiet evening at your home away from home.
Truly the place for those who love the beach, treasure quiet time, and want to experience all the joy Martha’s Vineyard offers without the hustle or hassle (no crowds, no traffic) of down island towns.
We offer a simple place, hopefully lovely in your eyes. Not fancy but we have everything.

Stayed here for a long weekend and we loved its proximity to the Aquinnah Cliffs Overlook where we watched a beautiful sunset over the Atlantic. It was less than a 10 minute walk to the Overlook and a 15 minute walk to Moshup Beach. However, this location is a 40 minute drive each way to Edgartown or Oak Bluffs. You will need a car if you stay in this location.
With regards to the unit itself, it's a great size for 3 people. The room with a twin bed and trundle is quite small, probably tight for 2 adults but perfect for kids. The kitchen is well equipped. If you like watching TV, the one they have in the living room is very small and pretty old without streaming capability. The biggest negative for us is the fact that linens and towels are not provided. You will have to pack your own bed sheets, pillow case, and towels for the bathroom and kitchen. Considering the rental fee is on the high side, this really should have been included.

Aquinnah was beautiful, the cliffs were magnificent the restaurants were incredible! Everyone on the island was very lovely and accommodating. The only downfall was no AC in condo

Lovely 2 BR unit directly next to the lighthouse. Easy walk to the beach. Very comfortable with everything needed for a short or extended stay. Easy communication with host. Definitely recommended.

My husband, son (9years old) and I had a lovely time at this well-equiped, clean, cozy condo. The description is accurate and it is fully equipped with everything you need. Aquinnah is so special and you can feel the peacefulness of this area and the people. It is a drive (35 mins) to main restaurants in Edgartown and Oak Bluffs but we made the trip a few times for dinners out and shopping. Menemsha and Chilmark are both nice areas closer by where we explored as well. The beaches are beautiful and within walking distance. We highly recommend this lovely place. We hope to return again!

What a well maintained and fun property that offered exactly what we needed! The views, the well maintained out of doors and all that was needed to feel comfortable, made our stay great. We are looking forward to returning next year.

Property was amazing!!!!!

Rent on Lighthouse Road and needed additional space for a few nights, and proximity was primary consideration.
Space worked well, as was quiet and close to beaches too and very convenient as an addition to house rented nearby. As advertised, and very well equipped.

We enjoyed staying at this nice condominium.
It was very clean very bright and airy,
very well supplied inside and out with all the necessary supplies in the kitchen that you would need to enjoy your stay.
It was also very well decorated, quiet and clean.
Overall we had a very pleasant week and we would stay there again
Joan the owner was very pleasent and responsive to all questions.
There are distant ocean views from the front and back decks.
I recommend vacationing at this condo.
Happy summer!

We loved our stay. The location was beautiful and very private. We loved being able to see Gay Head Lighthouse so well. The walk to the lighthouse and Moshup beach were very sort. We were also within close walking distance of a bus stop which made traveling around the island very convenient. The property owner was quick to respond to any questions we had.

This property is exactly as it’s advertised! Joan, the property manager could not be more incredible to work with! She went above and beyond answering questions for us and giving us recommendations to beaches, food places, things to do etc… truly such a delight to work with! It’s a cute homey, cozy condo about 100 feet from cute little stores with absolutely breathtaking views of the cliffs/lighthouse. A beautiful part of the island we had not visited.. much quieter then downtown- we loved it! Joan had everything we needed! Our kids want to rerun every summer! We had such a nice time together! Thank you Joan.

We have stayed at this property for a long weekend and we absolutely loved it! The location is perfect, the size is great for a couple (or even a family of 3). It is right next to the beach and beautiful scenery. Communication with property manger was quick and efficient and we had no issues with the condo. It is away from stores, restaurants and any other establishments, but to us this was the upside as opposed to downside. Little trips to nearby stores were not a problem and we drove to restaurants in Edgartown for either takeouts or dinners. We are already looking forward to coming back!

Away from the busy-ness of Edgartown/Oak Bluffs, this was an awesome getaway. Gorgeous views, easy access to lighthouse and beach made for a wonderful stay. Beach wasn’t crowded at all.
Not a criticism, but I’d emphasize for future guests is the stores close by are pretty pricey and small/close early; half hour drive to full grocery, so pays to go when you get off the ferry on the way to the property. Remote/beautiful location otherwise a perk!

We were very comfortable at the property . It was very clean and well appointed. Stunning views of the cliffs and Lighthouse nearby made morning walks to the beach very pleasurable. We loved the quiet nights and being able to see the ocean from every room.

Nice views from both front and back windows. Has everything you need (except linens). Joan is a very responsive host. Ideal location for those who enjoy the quiet end of MV. Walking distance to the overlooks and Aquinnah beach. Ideal for 3 adults or couple with 2 kids.

The location is lovely, and there is a great cross-breeze. Many people would find the condo decoration charming. We would have appreciated if sheets and towels had been provided, or at a minimum, paper kitchen towels. The lovely porch would have been enhanced with a couple of cushioned lounge chairs. The indoor shower pressure was a bit low, but the outside shower was fine. We would have preferred that soap and shampoo be provided. We recommend this property more for a long-term stay than a weekend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and enjoyed the peacefulness of being up-island. It was more of a walk to the beach than we expected, but well worth the walk when we got there. The views from this area are breathtaking. It was a wonderful stay!

Great location especially if you want solitude giving you a chance to unwind, take in the uniqueness of the beach with its cliffs and rock formations. It seemed like all the rocks on the beach were in the shape of a heart! Joan supplied us with passes for other beaches but we were spoiled and chose only to go to Moshup Beach.
The condo was just perfect for the three of us, parking was available in front of our unit but a little tight for my F-150. I had originally thought that we would leave the truck inland and only use our bicycles. I was glad that I had read previous reviews to know that I would need to bring my own bedding, my other two friends were flying in and this might have been a little more inconvenient, if I was not driving.
I feel fortunate that Joan was willing to share her little bit of heaven with us.

It's difficult to write this review because this place is so magical that I don't want everyone to discover it. Aquinnah is the exact opposite of Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. If you are looking for peace, quiet, and serene landscapes this is the spot for you. Joan's condo is the perfect beach escape with water views on two sides and a historic lighthouse on the other. The porch on the property wraps around all three sides and the ocean air whips in off the sea. Joan is a fantastic host that this easy to communicate with and if you have a problem she responds very quickly. We highly recommend this property and hope to return for several years.

Spotless accommodation, beautiful setting, gracious host!
This was our second time staying here and we absolutely loved it and didn’t want to leave! This is a beautiful condo that feels like your own private cottage with a gorgeous deck right next to the lighthouse and ocean views from every room. It is absolutely spotless and beautifully decorated, with a beachy feel. We loved having our morning coffee out on the deck, taking in the views of the ocean and green hills. The beautiful Moshup beach with its red clay cliffs is only a short walk from the house, down a dirt path that is relaxing to stroll down, with the dunes and wildflowers at both sides. We also loved walking down to the beach late in the evening with the red and white strobes from the lighthouse casting a magical glow around us. Joan is also a fabulous host who is very responsive and accommodating. We hope to return next summer!

My family and I had a wonderful time, The condo was perfect!
The condo was immaculate and so charming. I loved all the “beach” decorations. Joan was great! She gave us good advice on places to go and where to eat. Hopefully, I’ll get the opportunity to go back next year. It was a truly memorable vacation with my family.

Fabulous location
Aquinnah is our favorite part of the island due to its natural beauty. The best thing about staying at Joan's charming place is that you can walk to a beautiful beach in 10 mins. A rare occurrence on MV. Joan was extremely kind and patient with our complex travel schedule, and couldn't have been more accommodating. The cottage has a view of the sea from all windows, and is light and airy...Very comfortable indeed. Our children enjoyed running up to the lighthouse to watch magical sunsets, and digging for treasures in the local gift shops. We highly recommend Joan's cottage, it's a secret treasure!

Relaxing and gorgeous property and location!
We stayed with our 4 year old son and had the best time. The house has everything you need and the 2 bedrooms were really comfortable for the 3 of us. We couldn't get over how close we were to the lighthouse and the views from both sides are stunning. It's about about 12-15 min walk to the beach (maybe faster if without a child) but we ended up driving to drop off our gear and then my husband dropped the car back at the house and walked over. We also drove over to the beach in Lobsterville for a change in scenery. Such a cute area! Joan was so responsive and a pleasure to book with. She definitely went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable. Thank you! We hope to be back next year!

This Condo is in the perfect location if you love the ocean and spectacular sunsets!
The condo was just right for me and my adult children. Perfect balance of coziness & space to ensure privacy for us all, clean, bright and comfortable. Only thing that was not pleasant was the water. Very high mineral content, smells like sulphur. Difficult to stomach when brushing your teeth or showering indoors. But the outdoor shower was great, so that made up for it!

Clean and great atmosphere, near lighthouse.
Be aware: host did not provide any sheets, towels (kitchen OR BATH) washcloths or beach towels. Told me about this only the night before my visit. I was traveling by plane from another state so did not get this email until I was at airport. When I responded they offered to provide them for $25.00. I agreed since I had no choice. When I arrived there were sheets but the towels were not there. Apparently the cleaning service had forgotten them and since it was nighttime the host asked if I could wait until 9:30 the next morning. Again I had no choice but to agree. The next morning they didn't arrive until 11:00 and there were only 2 beach towels. No wash cloths, no bath towels, no kitchen towels. Very odd to not provide these. Host apologized and waived the $25.00 fee but I won't be staying there again.

Perfect island getaway...
Sweeping views of the ocean, watching the sunset on the ocean fromthe lighthouse nearby, and one of the most serene areas of the island. Joan was great to work with and accommodating.
