Martha’s Vineyard Vacation Rental: Vineyard Haven country cottage

This country-style cottage sits right on the edge of the quaint hustle and bustle of Vineyard Haven. You’ll be close to everything you’ll need – from groceries to the movie rental store to the hardware store to great restaurants and the charm of Main Street. But, you’ll also be steps away from beautiful conservation lands maintained by the Land Bank commission. Wonderful trails loop for miles and miles through huckleberry and oak forests.

Meanwhile, the inside of the house is cozy and beautiful. Dark wood, beamed and sometimes slanted ceilings accent quilts, a brick fireplace and comfy furnishings. Also, unlike many of the houses that I showcase here that accommodate 8, 10 or even 12 people, this house is made for six with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Don’t forget about the beach! When you stay here, ‘your’ beach is Lambert’s Cove. You’ll get a West Tisbury sticker that gives you access, and you’ll follow a windy sand-filled path up over a dune and onto this stunning beach that overlooks Martha’s Vineyard Sound. Being on the Sound/North side, the waves are usually calm, not really ocean surf, and coca-cola creek (a constant inlet) offers a fantastic place for kids to play, dig and explore.

The beach is 3.5 miles from the house, but it’s one of the most beautiful (though there are so many!) stretches of road on the island – Lambert’s Cove Road. So beautiful, that the short drive to the beach will feel just as pleasurable as the beach itself! Well, close to it anyway!

West Chop: Martha’s Vineyard Vacation Rental

I’m not sure this West Chop house could be in a better location! You’ll find it all the way down Main Street in Tisbury. I love that you can drive out of the artistic and charming bustle of Vineyard Haven’s main drag and then it gets quieter and more serene until you come upon the magical loveliness that is West Chop.

Jutting out into the Sound, West Chop is like an old neighborhood – that revolves around the West Chop Club with it’s golf course, tennis courts, manicured lawns and wrap around porches and around the playground and general store. Of course, don’t forget the gorgeous beaches that wrap around the Chop!

And this rental, like I mentioned has the best of both worlds since it’s located on Main Street in between downtown Vineyard Haven and the community of West Chop. So you have quiet and privacy, but also total and close access to two great and people-ful places.

The house is big and spacious with 8 bedrooms, room for 12 and 3.5 bathrooms! I love that it has a third floor (and luckily that top floor has air conditioning for those toasty Vineyard days!) But, don’t worry if it gets crowded – your beach is 30 yards out the back door. And there’s plenty of room to spread out on the porch and the deck.
