We had a perfect week at Amy's beautiful house in Aquinnah. Yes, the weather was absolutely perfect, but even if it had rained all week, it still would have been a perfect week. Walking to the beach everyday to enjoy the quiet beach and wonderful ocean swims. Riding bikes up to Gay Head light and all around Aquinnah. Afternoon trips to Menemsha, Chilmark and down island. Pastry and great breads from Organge Peel bakery (only a mile from the house); cooking dinner in using local produce. It was a great week for us all before one of girls heads back to college and our other daughter starts her next adventure post college. Oh and our chocolate lab, Slater, was just happy to be with us (and to swim everyday). We hope to be back again.

This area of Aquinnah is wonderful and we've been coming here since 2007 so we know the area very well & have many friends in the neighborhood. Location is perfect - close to bike ferry and Menemsha plus beautiful Moshup beaches like Philbin. We love the natural beauty.
However, despite great locale the house was a disappointment. The interior was dirty. The floors were sticky, the bathrooms were old and did not smell good The living room rug and furniture were full of dog hair. In fact the house smelled like my vets waiting room! The bedrooms were musty. I rewashed sheets we used because they did not smell clean. Ditto for towels. There was garbage on the lawn when we arrived and baby toys. Even weirder was a space listed for our use had the owners car parked in it which was an overstep ...as if the owner made no true attempt to prep her home for paying guests and I felt like I was borrowing the house for free. We were not of course. They are carpenter bees everywhere and the home needs handy work and painting. The laundry is not usable for clothing due to iron in water staining.
I would not stay here again and it would be thoughtless for me to recommend.

This house is just lovely. It is steps from the beach, it is comfortable and inviting and has cute decorating touches throughout the home.
It is in beautiful Aquinnah near the Aquinnah Cliffs. My husband and I, and are dogs, were all relaxed and rested after our trip to this home. After having stayed in various VRBO homes, we would recommend this property.

This house in Aquinnah was the perfect family friendly home for our long weekend at the vineyard! Clean, quaint with island charm, with plenty of room and privacy for two families and two dogs. Short walk to the beach and a big back yard for some after beach bbqs & lawn games!
Amy was a fantastic host! Super responsive and extremely hospitable! Highly recommend for your next trip out to the other side of the vineyard. Will stay again!

We stayed in Aquinnah for the proximity to my cousins house for a family reunion. The spot proved to be perfect with a beautiful home, gorgeous beach, and responsive owners who answered several questions during our stay.
We look forward to rebooking next year!

Everything about this house and property was amazing. The views and beach were spectacular! Loved being in a more remote area where it was quiet and one could relax and take in the ocean breeze and sunset. Highly recommended!!

We had an amazing Christmas in Aquinnah.
Many thanks to Amy for being a gracious host.
The location, the house, and all the nice touches for the guests - both humans and canines - were great. Highly recommend for family getaways.

Every part of this spacious house was well decorated and designed for comfort. The house was steps away from a beautiful beach and in a quiet secluded area. It was stocked with everything you’d need for a perfect vacation.

This is a wonderful house in a secluded and private Aquinnah location. We loved watching the sunrise and listening to the waves. The house has everything you need to stay with family or friends and cook and have fun.

This was a wonderful home for any purpose but especially for ours - a weekend of wedding events at a nearby inn and lots of adults sharing a space. The house was charming, equipped as if for a private second home and not a rental- comfortable, homey and everything we needed and wanted. Everything works. Bathrooms are new and clean. Kitchen completely functional and we used it a lot! Furniture is comfortable. Location is amazing if remote - but exactly what I wanted because of its proximity to the inn. Sunny and bright and wonderful porches to sit on. Most importantly, the owner, Amy, is amazing. She sends an email in advance reminding you of things that you should know and was instantly available for the few questions we had. She is incredibly friendly and helpful but also anxious that you enjoy the home to its fullest. Little points: parking is slightly tricky - you can get three cars in front and back total - but don’t pull into the gravel “yard” in front of the house or you will get stuck in a twenty point turn to get out. Just use the two spots in the front as described in the listing and the one spot in the back as described. Also, lots of supplies are in the basement, which Amy (owner) reminds you in her email - so don’t forget to look there first before you buy paper towels and hand soap and such. Finally - look in the armoires and drawers for towels and linens - there are plenty but they aren’t in a specific linen closet. Anyway, fabulous stay- five stars!!

Our second summer staying in this house with friends and our 2 dogs. The house is perfectly set up with anything you or your pets could need or want! The yard is lovely and the beach access is amazing! The hosts are extremely accommodating and made sure we were safe with an approaching hurricane. The house is clean, safe and perfect for all!!

This four bedroom, two bath house located between the street and the beach had everything we needed for five colleagues staying in Aquinnah for the annual bird count. It is nicely and simply decorated, sunny and open downstairs with a dining room that seats eight easily. It was warm enough for us to eat lunch out on the deck. Amy is a great host, easy to reach and relaxed. We had three cars, which meant we squeezed to park in the driveway. We hope to be able to return next year.

This was our first time to the Vineyard and we couldn't have been happier with the accommodations and location. It is a little farther to stores and some other tourist sites but that was a bonus for us. Amy was great to work with and I highly recommend the property.

We could not have asked for a better stay at this beautiful home! It had everything we could possibly need and more. The location was perfect for our family. We loved how quiet and peaceful it is, and the views are stunning no matter where you look. Amy is such a kind, attentive, generous, and gracious host. This is by far the most well-stocked home we have stayed in to date. We can't wait to return. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

We truly enjoyed our time in Aquinnah. House was walking distance to Lobsterville beach but also a ten minute ride to Philbin beach which is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Gayhead is right in between both which was also fun visiting and provided opportunities to take beautiful pictures by the lighthouse.

Our mother/daughter trip to MV was nothing short of spectacular! The location of the house and access to the dog beach as well as all of the amenities the house offered made this week on MV magical! We’ve been coming to MV for 17+ years and this house and experience including proximity to the amazing restaurant, the Outermost Inn, was fabulous. The house had everything you could need and more for both the human and dog guests. The bike ferry to Menemsha is a must as well as sunsets on the beach. Thanks for an amazing stay Amy! We will most certainly be back!!

We would have been happy with just about any pet-friendly vacation rental that would accommodate our large extended family, but this must be the best one on the island! Yes, it has spectacular ocean views. Yes, it has inviting gathering spaces, comfortable bedrooms, and a renovated kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Yes, pets are welcome and expected and not just tolerated. Yes, the relaxed, up-island location is the perfect setting for a fun-filled family vacation. The house checks all those boxes admirably. What really sets this place apart is how the host has anticipated her guests' every need. Need a spice or ingredient for your favorite recipe? You'll probably find a little of it in the pantry. Forgot laundry detergent? There's plenty of it by the washing machine. Running out of poop bags for your dogs? There's a stash in cabinet. Left the car door open and ran down your battery? Take the bikes to Menemsha or the lighthouse (yes, that happened). Thanks so much for sharing your home with us. We have a new set of happy memories that will last us a lifetime!

We will be back!!
What a wonderful experience we had at this property! So wonderful that we extended our stay and hated to leave.
Although it was only the 2 of us renting, we had extended family who were staying nearby come for a fabulous dinner. It was roomy enough to all cook together and then serve dinner for 11 in the roomy dining room. On another day our family came over and we all walked the path to the beach and spent the day there.
This property is a comfortable and lovely place to make memories!

Wonderful house, close to the beach!
We loved the house! There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids. We never felt on top of each other. The house is bright, airy, beautifully decorated, and the back porch and 2 decks were amazing. The walk to the beach was about 60 seconds, literally! We were the only ones on it the whole week. It’s a good 20-30 minutes to get to most places but we were ok with that given hours private and quiet this area is. Would definitely stay again!

Off-season beach getaway
The house had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, and we felt right at home. Our dog loved the lease-free beach, and as it was off-season, we had it all to ourselves. We enjoyed biking around the island, and, when the weather was too windy for that, we spent time exploring other beaches and walking the trails which run throughout the island. Thank you, Amy, for being a superb host!

Wonderful and Relaxing Escape
We had a wonderful time visiting Martha's Vineyard and staying in Aquinnah at this lovely home. The home was very inviting and comfortable from the moment we arrived. We were a short walk from the beach (empty other than us most of the time) and a very short drive to the Lighthouse (which was also mostly empty in early April). We felt that we had most of Aquinnah to ourselves which allowed for greater exploration. The home itself was great with plenty of room for all of us to relax after seashell collecting, walks on the beach, or further excursions around the island (we are big fans of the Glassworks).
Thank you for opening your home to us.

Perfect family get together in perfect location!
Amy was an amazing host who made sure we had everything we needed. We absolutely loved the location so close to the beach and had many walks together. We were there for Easter-and we were able to create new memories with family we hadn’t seen in a long time. (6 of us).Everyone had privacy in the house when needed-just a lovely, enjoyable home!

Lovely home in a spectacular location. Up-island living at its finest!
We loved the house, and the peace & quiet of the lowest of the low season (February) makes for an unhurried, peaceful place to relax.

Lovely home/fabulous host
We had a bit of a troubled start because of weather and unavoidable issues, but Amy managed all of the glitches from afar with graciousness and generosity.
The house was perfect for our family and its proximity to and views of the ocean were a bonus. Great fireplace too...
Lovely place to stay. Thanks Amy

Fall in Aquinnah
We enjoyed our two weeks at this unique and wonderful place, especially the sea views from the second floor balconies. Loved the beautiful up-island shore and beaches and the old-island vibe of Menemsha.
