We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend stay at Blue Barque. Luncinda greeted us warmly and told us everything we needed to know about the property. Hancock Beach access was the icing on the cake!

Wonderful stay with grandparents and cousins, plenty of space and well equipped for family meals! Short drive to the best beach, and just down the road from the Grey Barn for fresh bread every morning. Thank you Lucinda and for being such great hosts!

we had an uncle, 2 grandparents, plus a family unit of 4 (kids 10 & 11) and the house had spots for everyone to hide if needed and to connect and have FUN! plenty of room for family meals, an EPIC outdoor shower (my favorite), the beds were super comfy, just about everything you need to enjoy the beach, PLUS a GORGEOUS BEACH!!!!! the location felt convenient to everything! lucinda was a DREAM! so responsive and so detailed in her responses which made everything so much easier - and the flowers she greeted us with were gorgeous!! we brought a badminton net and it worked perfectly in the yard - everyone got involved! we put together puzzles. we flew kites on the beach and they were awesome! we even made it for a sunrise on the beach - it felt like it was our own private beach! ohh and the art throughout the house was amazing! THANK YOU!!!!! highly recommend this home!

We had the most wonderful week in Chilmark at this beautiful home. It was our second stay and it was just as amazing as the first! The house and outdoor spaces are stunning and so livable and Lucinda and Dan made everything so welcoming. The access to Hancock beach is unreal! Thanks for everything!

We had a wonderful 5 days at Blue Barque! Next time will be longer! From the fresh flowers upon arrival, the lovely tour inside and outside, the key to Hancock Beach (truly amazing!), to the abundance of towels and anything else we needed - we could have not enjoyed our stay any more! Thank you Lucinda and Dan.

Overall excellent

When celebrating a special birthday in Chilmark with family and friends, we enjoyed the Blue Barque house immensely. Centrally located up-island, between Gayhead and West Tisbury, the house is spacious and lovely. Decorated with flair, the Blue Barque house provided us with a comfortable, but very stylish gathering place with a grill for outdoor eating and watching the stars. Hancock Beach is breathtaking; we spent the day walking and sitting and talking and had the beach mostly to ourselves. The house is well-stocked, and Lucinda, who left me white roses for my birthday, is a welcoming and responsive host. I would highly recommend.

House was charming, clean, and had all of the necessary amenities.

Our family of six adults thoroughly enjoyed our week at Blue Barque. It is an antique farmhouse with much charm and all the modern amenities as well as lovely outdoor living spaces. There is adequate interior space for guests to spread out and the wifi is excellent. The private Hancock beach is secluded and beautiful. Lucinda, the property manager, was professional and responsive. Highly recommend.

Turkeys greeted us as we arrived onto the property. A little bunny grazing in the grass. Lucinda met us upon arrival . She walked us through the house, our own little guided tour. She left us with keys to a private beach just over a mile off the beaten path. What a wonderful beach it was, sand as far as the eye could see and water that glistened in the sun. Her recommendations for dining was spot on. When we needed Lucinda’s help, she was readily available and sweet as can be. All in all a wonderful, relaxing and adventurous time at Martha’s Vineyard. Would definitely travel there again.

This was our third (or fourth!) stay at Blue Barque and we enjoy it so much every time we go. The house is terrific and well equipped with anything you could imagine - very generous of the owners to keep it so well stocked. And the location and beach access couldn't be better. We love the quiet that Chilmark offers with access to MV's most spectacular beach - can't wait to plan our next trip!

Our family had the most incredible time in Chilmark at this gorgeous updated house with all of its original charm. The property manager Lucinda and owner Dan were so welcoming and wonderful and the house itself exceeded all expectations. It was so clean and stocked with lots of things like beach supplies and games to facilitate a great time. The access to Hancock Beach was amazing - what an ideal beach! Thanks for everything. We hope to be back next year!

Lovely property, beautiful fa garden, and the private beach is sensation.

Staying at the Blue Barque was quite a retreat. This historic home has been impressively restored. The interior details showcase the home's history with an artistic flair and thoughtfully placed "treasures" that make each corner intriguing. Bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. The yard is restful, private with stands of mature trees. The access to the private beach is the icing on the cake.

We came to the Vineyard for a memorial and a wedding, both on the Island. Several members of my family joined us, and we all stayed together at Blue Barque. The accomodations were not only beautiful and comfortable, but the house was well-supplied with everything we could possibly need. Obviously, well-planned and thought-out! The house sleeps 12 - we were only 5, but there are so many cozy places, inside and out, that even more people could comfortably have their space, if they want it. The private beach, across the street, was spectacular and we lucked out with sunny and warm weather! Chilmark beaches are my favorite on the Island. Blue Barque was perfect for us and we hope to visit again in the future!

House is dreamy with access to one of the best beaches on the Vineyard. Lucinda was warm and prompt with her responses. Hoping to rent again.

Perfect for our stay on Martha’s Vineyard.

Beautiful Chilmark property with bonus access to the beautiful Hancock beach. Stocked kitchen and coffee bar!

We had such a wonderful stay in this charming and well-appointed home. The property manager made sure we had everything we needed during check in and our visit. There were so many nice touches that made our stay special, like the products in the bathrooms and the incredible coffee bar with tons of options. The grounds are beautiful and the private beach is absolutely gorgeous. Can't recommend this special house enough. We already want to go back!

The house is lovely and very comfortable. Absolutely everything a guest could need or want has been thoughtfully considered and is included. The beach is beautiful, secluded and easily accessible. The host and property manager are great. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderfully restored property with nice modern touches. One of our favorite rental stays on the Island! Great part of Chilmark, not too far from Alley's / 7a or Lucy Vincent Beach. We will definitely seek to rent again!

We had a lovely week in September in Dan's home. The home was an interesting mix of old bones and character and new updates and furnishings. It was very clean and no issues at all. with any appliances. The outdoor shower was huge! The access to Hancock Beach was a nice addition, even though it was a little farther from the house (1.6 miles) than we had thought. We would definitely consider returning and recommend the home 100%.

We had a perfect stay at the property for 5 days. Everything was just terrific. Thank you.

Wonderful experience throughout the process.

We had a fabulous week at Blue Barque! The house is super comfortable for families - well appointed with everything you will need. Hancock beach is a treasure. My kiddos fished at Menemsha nightly. Looking forward to our next visit.

My extended family had a reunion on Martha's Vineyard at Blue Barque. My husband and I lived in Chilmark for 35 years, so we came to this rental knowing a lot about the Vineyard and Chilmark. It is a beautifully restored historic farmhouse with great charm. There are many places in the house and outdoors to be together or alone. The long dining table works well for 10-12 people and saw many wonderful meals with our family and friends. The large kitchen works well, with up to date appliances. The two pull-out sofas on the first floor serve as beds in addition to the regular beds upstairs, and they are configured with a measure of privacy. The house is located on the main road not far from the centers of Chilmark and West Tisbury, Lucy Vincent Beach and of course magnificent Hancock Beach with the key that comes with the rental. I cannot end this review without mentioning Lucinda, who was instantly available to attend to anything and everything. She is knowledgeable, kind and generous. The owner, who lives unobtrusively on the property, was also helpful as a back-up to Lucinda. Our family left with a feeling of warmth and comfort after our time in the wonderful world of Blue Barque!

Great house, clean and relaxing. The best location for a family vacation. Sitting in the hammock with a IPA while the golden Chilmark sun warmed me up wasn’t bad either !!!!

My family and I rented this property to celebrate my mother’s 70th birthday and it could not have been more perfect. This updated farmhouse is absolutely beautiful and pristine. It was well stocked with everything you could ever need. The home was more than spacious for our group of nine and our family felt very much at home during our stay. The expansive yard was great for the children to play and we took full advantage of the lovely patio area as well. Of course, the plus is having access to a gorgeous private beach just down the road. We created some wonderful memories in this lovely home and hope to return again soon.

We stayed at Blue Barque for a week over the 4th of July. The house itself is perfect - incredibly well stocked with everything you could need and plenty of space to stretch out. We loved the outdoor showers for when the kids came back from the beach and the yard was perfect for dinners outside and playing games. The best part of the rental, though, is the private beach access. The beach is never crowded and we made the best memories there. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

This home is absolutely amazing. We stayed here for my sister's wedding and there was plenty of room for all of our immediate family. The kitchen is awesome, all the tools and utensils we needed were there. We also cooked hotdogs on the grill and it made for a perfect evening on the porch. My sister got ready for her wedding in the master suite upstairs. It was so beautiful and perfect for the occasion. We had kids with us and they enjoyed the backyard and the hammock. It was just a dreamy, wonderful property that made for an absolutely unforgettable family vacation. We would highly recommend this home to anyone traveling to Martha's Vineyard.

The Blue Barque is a most comfortable and inviting rental home with all of the creature comforts designed to please even the most discerning guest. Located in lovely Chilmark with access to a stunning private beach, this home is suitable for a family vacation, reunion or the gathering of a group of friends. It features generous common areas downstairs, a modern well-equipped kitchen, WiFi, a large wall-mounted TV, books, games, and DVDs to enjoy while relaxing at the property. The upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms are nicely appointed and private. It is very apparent from the many personal touches and handwritten notes with helpful instructions placed throughout the home that the owners take great pride in the Blue Barque and truly want their guests to feel welcome. Highly recommend this unique home that combines the best of modern convenience with historical charm. Don’t delay - book while you can because this one is sure to be snapped up quickly!

The property was maintained in an impeccable way. Could not have asked for a more cleaner property. Peaceful, secluded neighborhood close to the famous aquinnah cliffs. Will highly recommend this property especially if with a larger grouo of 8 or more people
