Had a nice time at Lovey’s Cottage in Chilmark. The property was beautiful with a spectacular view of Menemsha pond. Unique historical home although could use some maintenance/upgrades to make it a 5 star property. Stairs are very steep and take some getting used to. Private beach access was an awesome perk. Hosts provided lots of useful information. Kitchen was well equipped and plenty of linens, towels, and other supplies.

My family and I spent a fantastic week in this beautiful cottage, and as a result had a much-needed, very relaxing first time on Martha’s Vineyard. We loved the peaceful water views and the cottage’s coziness, especially on those windy, foggy, rainy up-island days, but also spent many wonderful hours on the two(!) gorgeous private beaches getting away from it all. Bob and Kim, thank you so much for your warm hospitality and for making our first visit such a memorable one!

We have been vacationing at MV for a few decades. Lovely’s Cottage is located in one of our favorite spots on the island! The close proximity to Menemsha and the beautiful sunsets coupled with being up island away from the hustle and bustle is our idea of a great vacation! The cottage was absolutely perfect with everything we needed! The owners were very responsive when I found myself accidentally locked out! We highly recommend Lovey’s Cottage and would definitely stay here again!

This is the perfect Vineyard cottage! It has fabulous views, a well stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and very nicely furnished living spaces. The deck is all you need. The owners were gracious and take very good care of the property. Can’t wait to return!

We stayed in the cottage for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The sunsets from the property and from the nearby beach in Aquinnah were spectacular! The owner is so very responsive, always answering any questions within a few minutes. Great experience overall.

Lovely views, well situated

Very clean which is extremely important. Description accurate. Lovely home with incredible views! Would rent again!

The location and views cannot be beat and the cottage truly is laid out perfectly for a family of 4. We spent most beach days at Squibnocket given the proximity but loved the private beach access to Hancock. There isn't any A/C which mostly didn't present an issue since there's a really nice cross breeze but we had some hot nights. The owner was super responsive and attentive. Only constructive feedback is for the clean up crew: there was a decent amount of evidence of the prior guests that hadn't been addressed when we arrived.

I am reluctant to tell you this was a perfect experience bc I fear it will be biookwd up for next year before I get a chance to pick my time slot. But the truth is: we loved it. No complaints at all. If I had to be super picky... I wish there was a place on property to dispose of recyclables. But... if that’s my ONLY issue, you can imagine how great it was.

Loved this spot in Chilmark. The whole family really enjoyed themselves. Bob the owner was fantastic. The realtor also jumped in to assist on minor set backs. Beach was gorgeous and the views everywhere were just spectacular. Overall it was a fabulous family vacation. Hope to make it an annual trip!

Our family of five had a great stay at this little cottage. During Covid, alot was closed but we were still able to get takeout from the fish markets and grill on the deck overlooking the beautiful views every night. Loved watching the deer in the meadow below. Access to the private beach was great as most days we were the only people there. We have been renting on the island for years and always stay in the Chilmark or Aquinnah neighborhood as we prefer it to the busier side of the island. This little cottage was one of our favorite rentals and we would love to come back again! The only complaint we had was the Wi-Fi was not working at all. Sometimes we could sporadically connect to the house next-door but this was difficult with two adults working remotely and three children doing schoolwork. We had called the real estate office but they were unable to resolve our issue. Also the patio furniture is a bit weathered and broken and needs to be replaced. These things did not stop us from having a most fantastic stay at this lovely little cottage!!

Pure heaven. And Bob and Kim truly could not have been any nicer. It was an amazing experience.

Great getaway, would go again in a heartbeat! The cottage was prepared and waiting for us, the management couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Fantastic views out over Menemsha pond and Vineyard Sound, close to some great beaches. Good kitchen, living room, deck, grill. Nice bedrooms, and the hot water in the shower came up really fast. Away from the madding crowd, but not remote. Fantastic place for a restorative vacation.

Stayed with my husband and our 2 year old daughter. Historical charming cottage on immaculate breathtaking property. Curated art, furniture, and decor added to the vibe of the cottage, the library wall and game cabinets gave us plenty to do during leisurely evenings. Private beach around the corner was empty and perfectly shallow for our daughter to splash in. Location is relaxed with plenty of trails and farms nearby. We got a tour of the historical property next door which was a treat! Loved drinking coffee and grilling on the deck overlooking the ocean. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Had a splendid week at Lovey’s Cottage with family this June. What’s not to love about Lovey’s? A warm, intimate and inviting retreat nestled on several acres of privacy with views across golden fields and salt ponds to Menensha and the ocean. Found this to be the perfect setting for everything we were seeking......quiet, the time to reconnect, biking, hiking, kayaking, and the beach. Lovey’s is very well appointed and quite exquisite without being overly fussy, with several comfortable bedrooms and very comfy beds, up to date bathrooms, and a living room and porch that proved to be the perfect place to gather with family and friends while reliving the day’s events. The thing we particularly appreciated is that Lovey’s is the quintessential Vineyard we’ve known for decades. A true sanctuary among the growing busyness of the island where one can easily slip into the simple elegance of the past while enjoying all comforts of home and the present. Can assure you that dollar for dollar Lovey’s Cottage and its’ responsive owners won’t disappoint. Our whole hearted thanks for a wonderful stay.

We were so excited to stay on Martha's Vineyard for the first time. Both of our daughters had recently graduated college and we decided this would be a wonderful graduation gift/family vacation. We searched the internet for the perfect place to stay. So we thought. When we arrived we ended up at the wrong driveway because the house before is called Lovey's. So we were very confused. We finally figured it out and arrived at the house after a 12 hr drive. The house was very musty smelling. The upstairs bathroom left a lot to be desired. There was hair in the bathtub (my husband cleaned it before anyone used it). And the shower curtains were moldy. I'm sorry, if you are charging someone that much money a night the place should be spotless and a $10 shower curtain can be changed. The toilet seat is gross. The beds are very uncomfortable. Linens were not clean. We slept on top of the bed. The steps are not easy to maneuver. My dogs could not even get up and down them. They need to update the pictures outside. There is a house right outside the deck blocking a lot of the ocean view. One positive was the landscaping. It was very nice. Also, they say they have the private beach. It was infested with ticks! I have never seen ticks on a beach before. It is also a nude beach. Whether they are allowed or not, people do it. Needless to say, it was not the ideal vacation we were hoping to have.

Our experience renting this cottage was nothing short of perfect. The views from this property are truly gorgeous, and we spent so much time simply sitting on the deck enjoying coffee and breakfast (from the General Store!) or reading in the afternoon. The beautiful landscaping, wildlife (deer, birds, butterfly, etc), water views, and serenity can not be beat. The cottage was very comfortable for our group of 5. I am 8 months pregnant here with my husband, my older parents, and our 12 year old son. The downstairs is handicap accessible, complete with roll in shower/bathroom. One caveat: the stairs to the second floor are steep; I would consider bringing a baby gate and watching closely if traveling with small children. The house was FULLY equipped with everything we might need; in fact, it was better stocked than most rentals we have encountered. Trash bags, toilet paper, every kitchen appliance you might need, games, books, abundance of towels, hand soap...you name it, they have thoughtfully provided it. There is a small TV in the living room and a DVD player which we enjoyed in the evening watching a family movie. There is wifi throughout the house, though I am not sure about streaming speed - we didn't really test it, and brought DVDs with us. The house had fans in the rooms, but the open windows caught wonderful breezes in the evening and we were comfortable without AC. The house was spotlessly clean; no beachy mildew smells here! The location is not to be beat. Very close to the General Store, Lucy Vincent, Squibnocket, Menemsha, etc. We also had access to an incredible private beach accessible by key a little further down from LV. We were the only people there when we went, and it was spectacular. The cottage is next to the main house, and the family who owns it is incredibly kind and generous. We felt lucky to rent their home. They were very responsive to my (numerous!!!) questions and made us feel so welcome in renting their home. We just learned it is booked up for all of next August and are devastated as we would return in a heartbeat. We feel so fortunate to have spent a week at Lovey's!

Our Sweet Spot. Here’s what we enjoy about Lovey’s Cottage, specifically: - Its open plan first-floor rooms: so the small house reads big. And upstairs, it sleeps up to six. - It’s always kept clean, neat, and very comfortably furnished. Linens, towels are all stocked too. - Its kitchen is well-equipped. Its library holds good books/games for kids (of many ages). - The view is amazing: all the way across the pond to Menemsha fishing village, and out over the Sound. - The sunny deck is where we spend a lot of time, hanging out, and enjoying the fabulous view. - The 2 private beaches are a big deal for us… Lovey’s beach (fantastic for small kids), and Hancock beach (bliss, no crowds!). - Plus 3 other public beaches only minutes from the house: Squibnocket, Lucy Vincent, and Aquinnah. - Wonderful restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive: Outermost, Chilmark Tavern, HomePort, Beach Plum. - A lot of nice island walking trails within close range of the house. - Grocery stores, gas, library, community center (with kids’ programs), farm stands and fish markets all in Chilmark and nearby Menemsha. Lovey’s Cottage is perfect for our smaller family units, and our guests, but with privacy from the Tower House, on the same property. Coming back here year after year – these are some of the best weeks of every summer for us!

A small gem of a house, with the open plan main floor and the comfortable bedrooms upstairs. The porch is the perfect spot to entertain, with a view over the pond and a barbecue to grill the delicious fresh fish from the fish shop in Menemsha. There are lots of books and games for those days that are too foggy or rainy to go to the beach. There are nearby restaurants in Chilmark and Menemsha, and lots of local activities to check out, including the Artisan and Flea Market twice a week. The restaurant at the cliffs in Aquinnah is a great place to sit on the deck and watch the sun go down into the sea. We always look forward to coming back every summer.

We love this cottage. Our family of four has come here for the past two years to celebrate the 4th of July. If you love the quiet solitude of Chilmark with easy access to both a pond and gated beach, you will love this rental. We may look at renting the Tower House with is the adjacent larger home. Highly recommend this property!

This cottage is simply gorgeous. Set away from noise, you can enjoy your own personal and extremely private vacation at Loveys Cottage. We enjoyed this stay very much and hope to come back next year. Our most savored moments, were in the late afternoon / early evening, when we would BBQ on the veranda, sip on wine and relax with the most stunning views. The house came equipped with everything that we could think of, and we felt very catered for (e.g. beach towels, hand soap, hair dryer etc.) Our favorite day trip was to the private beach that is included in this cottage. The beach was huge ... and went as far as we could see in either direction! .. Lovely soft sand, not very busy, and having access to this, really made us feel that it was our own private vacation. If you stay at Lovey's cottage, you also must visit Larsen's fish market ... WOW is all I can say! We ate a lot of freshly shucked oysters, mussels and lobster here. Fantastic! This was really the best vacation that we have had in years. Very relaxing, fun, interesting, romantic, all with stunning ocean views!! WE LOVED IT.

Recently spent a fantastic fall weekend at Lovey's Cottage. The spectacular setting is perfectly complimented by this cozy, nicely decorated, well maintained home. Particularly liked the incredible views, privacy, and easy access to several beaches. The cottage is on the quiet side of the island, a comfortable distance from the crowds, but within easy reach of the Vineyard's charming towns, villages, restaurants and shopping. We found the cottage to be incredibly clean, quite comfortable, and well equipped, and the owner very responsive, helpful, and pleasant to deal with. The location of the cottage is perfect for kayaking, sailing, hiking and biking with ready access to rural roads, walking trails, and the waterfront. We found Lovey's to be an excellent value for our vacation dollar and look forward to the opportunity to stay there again.
