Our group of 8 rented this house for a week and it was just what we needed to relax and unplug. There is plenty of room for both privacy and group gatherings, stunning ocean and sunset views from multiple decks, and a great location in Aquinnah. Our host Elise made the stay easy and comfortable and had great advice for walks, beaches, and wildlife. We hope to return!

Our large family had a wonderful stay at the Duck Inn. Wonderful location and a big house. Elise is a gracious host.

The Duck Inn in Aquinnah on Martha's Vineyard is such a sublime vacation rental that I'm a bit apprehensive to share my secret! Alas, it's too much of a treat to be missed. Having traveled extensively on the spectrum of budgets, this property is definitely as good as it gets. I've been blessed to have rented the old sea captain's house on numerous occasions and have stayed in all of the rooms over time. Given that each space has it's own ambience and perks, I have no preference -- knowing wherever I stay offers unique amenities. The common space is generous of both view and function. Dinner prepared in an authentic antique farm kitchen and served on the long table becomes an event, and the local farmer's market and seafood purveyors offer excellent quality. Ocean view sunsets from the rocking chairs on the deck are not to be missed, and a great location from which to Bar-B-Que in the Summer months. In the cooler months, your group can gather 'round the grand piano or hunker down in front of the old stone fireplace in the comfort of a cushy sofa and still see the show on the horizon through the expanse of glass doors and windows. The house is a bucolic walk to one of the planet's most amazing beaches. A slice of sand is punctuated by quintessential New England boulders and anchored by the most gorgeous background of striated clay cliffs in soothing tones of terra cotta, rose, dove and warm greys. Whatever adventures or quietude you take during the day, an evening in the hot tub beneath the stars with the lull of the ocean's surf, and you'll be sure to have sweet dreams. The owner, Elise LeBovit, is knowledgeable and gracious. The accommodations are friendly to all ages. The experience is extraordinary.
