Our stay was wonderful. The property is just as advertised and exactly what we wanted. The location is secluded and quiet and the view is lovely.

The house was clean, comfortable and more spacious than expected. The location and views were spectacular.

Andrew and Ann were wonderful hosts - they provided helpful tips for the cottage and even brought us a new BBQ grill during our stay because the prior one had rusted. Their cottage is a tranquil oasis overlooking the Sound. The kitchen is modern and well-stocked and the deck was a perfect place to enjoy our meals. We loved the private access to the beaches in Aquinnah, including being able to walk to the beach right in front of the house. We really cannot recommend this cottage highly enough! We hope to be back.

Property owner very kind & helpful. Perfect quiet getaway. Enjoyed the walk on the trail to the beach w/ my dog. Thank you!

We loved the early morning sunrises while we enjoyed coffee and breakfast! Our toddler loved the large living space to play in. We enjoyed biking to the beaches!

Everything we hoped for. Beautiful view, comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, good internet, excellent communication with Andrew. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great secluded location and access to the beach.

Our small family (2 adults, 1 3 year old) had a wonderful stay in the cottage. The description and photos are very accurate and was exactly what we were looking for - well appointed, functional, and clean. The gated access to Moshup beach is amazing - we tried a few other beaches, and kept coming back because there was no place more pristine or beautiful. The kitchen was surprisingly well stocked with pots/pans/utensils (there is even a blender and a food processor). The view is truly phenomenal - our favorite activity was to watch the water and the stars. As other reviewers have noted, the house is 35+ minutes from the towns (restaurants, stores, etc.), which was fine for us, but potential renters should make sure that is what you are looking for.

Our family stayed here for a week in late May. The house is very clean and well maintained. Access to the beach under the cliffs is extremely easy and close, perfect sunset views every night. The "key beach" at Moshup is outstanding, an extremely unique and rare experience to be able to spend a day there. Owner Andrew is fantastic - very communicative, prompt, and helpful . We can't wait to come back!

clean, well appointed, great view of ocean. short walk to beach, parking pass to nearby beaches, helpful host are highlights

Great get away on the Vineyard.. rest, relax and enjoy

It was hard to tear ourselves away from this perfect beach cottage with expansive views of Vineyard Sound, the Elizabeth Islands and beyond. Very clean, quiet, comfortable and well-stocked. We walked from the private beach around Gay Head to Moshup Beach. Fantastic to see the cliffs from a different vantage point. We would love to visit again.

Situated right at the edge of Vineyard Sound, this property is perfect for a long-term stay and remote work. The WiFi is fast, the kitchen well-equipped, and the vistas from the sunroom are perfect to begin and close the day. We enjoyed strolling along the beach and being further out from some of the major towns. Andrew was incredibly responsive to all questions and concerns throughout our stay. Would highly recommend staying here, and would love to return!

Our stay was to visit family who lives on the island and this was the perfect home away from home for our small family of 4. It is secluded and if you've not been to the island, it is about 30 minutes from the main areas. We knew this and we were looking for a spot secluded to relax. The views of the water from the property are amazing. The house was clean and we'll stocked. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful property and owner. Quiet getaway for New Years Eve. Excellent location and amenities.

We loved it here. Everything was perfect, from the coziness of the house to its proximity to the water. How lovely to be able to walk to the beach.

We loved the views and privacy. Fun to watch the sou d change with the weather. Beach access is so unique!

Ideal cottage rental for small family seeking peaceful natural setting of Aquinnah.

Can’t say enough of this place. Magical magical magical. Andrew was very accommodating. We hope we are invited back one day!

We have now come here two consecutive years and it only gets better. Located “up island”, this is a perfect spot to get away from the hustle and hassle of the other more populated parts of the island during the summer. You are walking distance to the water and several choices of restaurants. Of course you can always cook at home if you prefer. This is a wonderful, spacious cottage overlooking the Vineyard Sound. It’s positioned in such a way that you get breezes from any and all locations, making every day and night extremely comfortable. There are a tremendous amount of birds and other wildlife that call the surrounding trees home. We even had deer come directly up to the cottage and pose for photos! Andrew is a gracious host and does exactly what you want from a VRBO landlord – he has your accommodations fully ready for you and never meddles in your vacation at any time, yet he is always available for any questions. The cottage is clean and everything works perfectly. We have never encountered such an enchanted place that can really help you forget about the “outside world” while you are there, and even weeks later the calming effects are still with us. Looking for a quiet place to get away from it all, be a part of the island that isn’t over developed and enjoy unparalleled scenery? Then this is the place for you. Could go on and on, but it’s something you’d have to experience yourself.

we truly enjoyed our stay here. great spot to relax and truly be away from it all. easy access to beach and fishing. good contact with the owner. everything you want in a vacation spot.

We had such a relaxing stay in Andrew’s home. The location was perfect for a quiet get away. The home was clean and well stocked. Andrew was great and easily reachable. The home is comfortable to hang out in on rainy days too.

This is a great property for those trying to have a truly relaxing vacation. The location is very private and beautiful, with incredible panoramic views of the Vineyard Sound and access to an essentially private beach. Our family of four stayed in the house and entertained guests through the week - we were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment, though the electric stove top was a little temperamental. Porch was incredible to just sit and watch the ship traffic, and the main living room of the house offered the same incredible views through the vast number of windows lining the walls. The house had a great cottage feel, perfect for doing puzzles or just enjoying time together with family. A few ants and bugs popped up from time to time, but was no big deal. Also, being the Vineyard, there were some ticks as well, but the property owner promptly had the grass mowed and path to the beach weed whacked when this was brought to his attention and it really helped. Overall, the property and property owner were great and we would definitely rent here again.

Just returned from 3 days at Andrew's cottage and we're already thinking about our return trip. While the summer weather is warmer on the vineyard, we like to take advantage of the empty beaches and roads. The cottage was exactly as we pictured it, and more. Very short walk to the beach, so no extra driving. The ocean views from the living room, kitchen and deck made it so easy to relax. Well appointed with everything you need and extremely clean. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at the Aquinnah cottage! The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a week rental, it was comfortable, cozy and offers incredible views over vineyard sound. The short stroll down to the private beach is secluded and peaceful and you cannot beat a walk down to the cliffs. Andrew was helpful with details and recommendations ahead of time and checked in once we were there to make sure our stay was pleasant, there were no issues and we had everything we needed. We hope to stay again in the future and would recommend to anyone looking to rent this cottage!

If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is your ideal rental. The only visitors we saw were deer in the front yard. It’s an easy walk to a great beach where we were often the only ones there. I would be happy to stay here again.

If getting away from it all is your top priority, you will certainly be pleased. Our stay was the perfect respite from a busy summer schedule from start to finish. Upon arrival we were taken away by the view from the house. After getting settled we walked down the short path to a beautiful beach below. This house offers privacy and seclusion and encourages you to unwind and take it all in. The house arrived clean and inviting and Andrew, the owner, was informative about the property and the surrounding area. Looking forward to visiting again in the future.

We were so excited for our vacation to Aquinnah, dreaming about it for months and months, and our trip exceeded our expectations on every level! We arrived and were greeted with a short drive along winding, lush roads with ocean views and quaint shops and were delighted as the road led us to the "end of the island" as our kids remarked. The cottage, which was so inviting and clean, was tucked away down unpaved roads hidden on a bluff. We felt as though we were the only ones on the island. The cottage is perfectly furnished and equipped for a family, not missing a detail for a dreamy ocean retreat. Breath taking views from the kitchen and living room/sunroom with windows providing near panoramic views. The deck.... well I would have been happy sitting there all day and night. The short walk to the calm "sound" beach was magical, almost meandering and secretive until the water comes into view. A short walk down the beach and you find the clay cliffs and pure awesome views. The sunsets over this beach can be enjoyed from the house or beach, and we were delighted by each one. A very short drive to the private ocean beach and we again felt that we were the only ones on the island. A breathtaking walk up through the dunes then drops you onto a beach that we found near deserted. Picture perfect, there is no other way to describe the pristine water, sand and views from this beach. Anne and Andrew were so welcoming and lovely. They provided us just the right amount of direction and history about the island, answering our kid's incessant questions with smiles and welcoming our young golden retriever without reservation. We have traveled a great deal and we can not say enough about our magical trip to this VERY special spot, one that we hope to return to again and again.

This is one of those very special places that you're hesitant to write about because you don't want the secret to get out. Aquinnah is a beautiful part of Martha's Vineyard, and Anne and Andy's spot is truly magical. It's located on a dirt road, near the Western tip of the island, surrounded by trees, with a commanding view of the Sound - I can't imagine a better location. The house itself is simple in the best possible meaning of that word. It has a classic beach house feel, and is more spacious than the pictures imply. I could go on about the lovely house, the spectacular location and the gracious owners, but you get the idea. Just go, and be prepared to feel sorry for everyone in the world who isn't you.

We spent a magical week on Martha's vineyard mid September. Our first time to the island. By chance we chose to stay in Aquinnah which is the most untouched and (in our mind) the most beautiful part of the island. The house with private beach access is a hidden gem. From the porch and the living room all you see is vegetation, the ocean and the sky. No other house, no street. A little foot path leads down the hill to the beach in less than 5 min. From the beach in front of "our" house, one can walk around the cliffs and then continue along the south west shore of the island for miles (tide permitting). The interior of the house welcomes you with tasteful simplicity and is equipped as if the owners themselves intended to live in it. When we arrived there were flowers on the table… The rental comes with the privilege to use another private parking lot that gives you access to a beautiful beach off of Moshup trail on the south west shore of the island. Yet, we only went there once because you can reach the most beautiful spots by walking along the shore right from your house. The owners Andy and Ann were always available to answer questions and share insider tips about the island. Were have already looked at the calendar when we can come back...
