We loved Victoria's sweet home, and the lovely spot in Aquinnah. Everything was perfect in this comfortable, well-supplies home. We loved the house and love Aquinnah. Victoria was great, and we hope to come back again.

10 out of 10! Thank you Victoria and family for an outstanding vacation! Their beautiful home is well situated, close to multiple bodies of water. You can reach Menemsha pond in a 4-5 minute walk, you can drive or bike 5-10 minutes to the ocean, you can kayak, or you can take a short drive to the public beach or the Aquinnah-resident beach. The first few days of our vacation, it was quite rainy and cold. However the Brown family’s well-appointed and beautifully designed house made it a delight to simply enjoy the home. I cannot say enough about how well-stocked, comfortable and beautiful this house is. I kept up my yoga practice in the screened-off front room while facing bucolic greenery ahead of the pond. When the rain ceased, a charm of hummingbirds flocked to the hibiscus bush beside the entrance. On a warmer day during our stay, I noticed 5 distinct types of butterflies and colorful moths delighting in the many pollinator flowers behind the house. Since my sister is very allergic to mosquitoes, yet loves the outdoors, we all brought plenty of protection that we never even needed to use. The nature-forward treatment of the grounds somehow repelled mosquitoes yet invited pollinating butterflies. Every kitchen tool I could imagine, was already stocked, from a rolling pin, baking dishes, pots and pans and the like. The cross breeze regulated the temperature so well, on our hottest day there, we didn’t break a sweat. I cannot wait to return. Thank you!

Loved this house and the location. It's wonderfully private but close to everything we wanted to do. The owner was extremely helpful and accommodating. We had an absolutely fabulous vacation in Martha's Vineyard!

This home was perfect for our long weekend stay to celebrate Father's Day. It is well appointed, clean, and the kitchen was great to prepare family dinners together. The roof deck has gorgeous views and amazing breezes. We took advantage of all the special perks that came with the house, including a lovely stroll down to Menemsha Pond, a swim at Key Beach, and kayaking at Red Beach. Victoria was very quick to respond and extremely helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely recommend this home and we hope to return for another family gathering!

Victoria's home was just right for our family of five, with kids aged 1, 5, and 7. Tucked away in a private spot, it felt very secluded. It was a short walk to a pond and quick drive to a private beach, both of which we had all to ourselves. The kids had a blast at the pond, even on rainy days. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch, playing games and lounging in the rocking chairs. My husband and I are thinking of returning for a quieter getaway, just the two of us. Victoria and Mara were both a pleasure.

This home is very comfortable. We visited in the off season so some of its amenities were unavailable to us but the setting and location on the island did not disappoint. Victoria was a very responsive host and kept us informed before and during our stay.
