We had an amazing two week stay in Aquinnah at this old school beach home. Away from the hustle and bustle, the large open home and vast property was a perfect locale for our family to convene for some island fun and relaxation. The home is vintage in style with space to spread out and it comfortably accommodated our multi-generational group and family dog. The 1.5 bathrooms are updated and the outdoor shower was key after a day at the beach. Much of the kitchen is in original form and more rustic in style but met our needs along with the grill which got much use. The location of this home cannot of be beat: a large yard for corn hole, football, and dog romping; a welcoming deck for relaxing and dining with sweeping ocean views and stunning sun rises and sunsets; Gay Head Lighthouse visible from the property and a quick walk down the street; a winding wooded path to a beach on site great for fishing, walks and fire pits and Lobsterville Beach five minutes away by car and easily accessed with owner provided beach pass for swimming, shell hunting or just relaxing on miles of sandy beach. The well known Outermost Inn a few doors down which we enjoyed on our final evening for dinner. Some trip highlights were a clam bake to go from Bill Smith’s, daily fishing at our private beach, s’mores in a beachside fire pit, croissants and cheese from the Grey Barn Farm, and quality family time and fun at this quintessential Island home. Thanks for sharing your family home with us!

We had a wonderful time with the whole family. The house is wonderful, the location is quiet, the yard is large, the beach is beautiful and the view is spectacular. A place we will surely return to.

The most beautiful views on the island. House was comfortable and the space was great for a large group. We would love to stay here again

Amazing location high on a hill overlooking the ocean. A bit windier than we expected. Our dogs loved the very large, private yard - lots of room to run without fear of getting too close to the road or invading the neighbors' yards. Great porch!

What a treat to wake up every morning to a sweeping ocean view and to be steps from a quiet beach. We hope to be back.

We had a lovely time on vacation. House was very comfortable and beach and property were gorgeous. Would definitely rent again!

My family and I stayed here for a week in July and we all agreed it was one of our favorite vacations to date. Seated high on a hill overlooking the ocean, the property is absolutely gorgeous! The large deck was perfect for summer evenings. It is a little bit of a hike to the private beach (we had a two and four year old with us and the stairs are pretty steep) but it was well worth it. Lobsterville beach was close by and easier for us to bring the little kids. The expansive yard was great for our dog to run around (her first time off leash). In hindsight the only thing I would do differently is bring a fishing pole. It was a great vacation and the house was well worth the money. I would love to come back again.

A great time was had by all. No complaints from anyone in our party. Would like to rebook if you will have us.

We couldn't believe our eyes when we arrived for our holiday - the children jumped out of the car in their excitement before we'd even parked up! The photos can't quite convey how wonderful this place is. The house is positioned in the most spectacular, idyllic location, literally surrounded by views of the ocean spread out below. Spacious wildflower gardens and orchards give the impression you are on your own country estate - an impression enhanced by the pretty winding path down to the private beach. We all loved the atmosphere of the house - it's cosy, comfortable and is both stylishly decorated and full of history - it feels well-loved by its generations of owners. The bedrooms are all fresh and bright and you just can't get over waking up to that view each morning! We explored the beaches, biked to the mouth-watering 'Orange Peel Bakery', walked into Aquinnah, went swimming and fishing, barbecued on the beach - we just didn't feel like getting into the car, and hardly needed to (although towns like Mememsha were certainly worth the short drive). In short, it was a simply magical holiday away from it all, with something for everyone. The children are pestering us to return - we don't need any persuading!

This was a wonderful family home with amazing views and very comfortable. The family who owns this house is obviously very proud of their house. It was perfect for our needs and I would love to go back. I absolutely do not have any complaints and the family was so helpful and easy to work with. It is also a great location in the most beautiful part of the world.
