The view is spectacular. It's a quiet, peaceful setting and great for taking walks to the water/beach in Menemsha. The furnishings are comfortable and the kitchen is stocked extremely well! We made 2 simple meals, and had exactly what we needed. The beds are comfortable and the porch is lovely for sitting/lounging/dining. I hope to come back some time... even in the off-season again!

It’s better than what you see in the listing. The overall layout of the property is beautiful and comfortable! Communication with the host was easy and responses were prompt. The bedrooms are small but the beds are very comfortable. And the view is spectacular! I can’t think of one thing I would suggest the host to change.

Heart of Menemsha

We loved our stay in Menemsha! We were within walking distance to the beach, fish markets, restaurants, shops and galleries in this small village in Chilmark. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. It had a great deck overlooking Menemsha Pond and Vineyard Sound. The owner was very responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Peaceful Oceanview Retreat

Very clean, well supplied, and a huge beautiful deck overlooking the harbor and ocean. So peaceful, and as an avid birdwatcher and nature-lover, I almost didn't want to leave the deck each morning. Christian was a great host, very accessible, and we had no complaints at all. Hope to go back every year. Our dogs loved daily walks and lounging on the deck with us!

dreamy getaway

This house was perfect for us -- two couples and one pup -- for an off-season getaway. The location is quintessential "Up-Island" with sweeping views of Menemsha Pond, easy access to walks and hikes, nature galore, and several modest 1950's midcentury homes in the area. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook two great dinners at home, and the new Beetlebung Farm stand is super close for fresh bread, veggies, and more. We can't wait to come back! (Only caution is to take tick checks very seriously this time of year...)

This is exactly as advertised. Everything was very clean and well apportioned with all the essentials. The communication was very clear and the house is in an absolutely stunning location. These hosts know what they are doing and provide an amazing B&B experience. I went with my mother and it was perfect for the two of us. I've been coming to MV for over 40 years and used to have a home here and this felt like an absolutely authentic Vineyard experience. This home would also be perfect for a couple and could definitely accommodate two couples, although the bathrooms are quite small and the walls are a little thin so noise carries. But these are quibbles, all in all everything was excellent.

Thanks Josh for your honest review. Bathrooms are smaller but we are thrilled to offer 2 full baths with modern tiled shower stalls & glass doors. The house was built in the 60's in a Japanese Mid-Century style so you are right, the walls are thin between bedrooms. Glad you appreciated the incredible setting in Menemsha.

Beautiful modern house with strong relationship to the landscape and views. Stunning daylight. Private and quiet, it secluded off of a dirt road. Views of pond and ocean with stunning sunsets. Very comfortable open kitchen/living space, private and comfortable bedrooms, well-designed bathrooms. Would have loved to be able to use the fireplace or a fire pit on cool nights, but overall a fantastic stay.

Wonderful stay in Chilmark

Christian was a wonderful and responsive host and his home was perfect for my stay. Modern mid century vibe and very comfortable beds/linens (also including many luxury amenities - nothing spared here - bathroom showers are fantastic fyi). Spectacular views of Menemsha Pond and beyond at sunset. So peaceful in Chilmark and thrilled I chose this area of the island for my stay. I especially enjoyed listening to the birds each morning. Just a few short minutes to some gorgeous beaches, (Lucy Vincent was my favorite!) fresh seafood markets and small grocery stores/markets to grab some local fresh veggies/supplies and even prepared meals/pizzas to bring home. I hope to return next year!

Sunny two bedroom small house

The spacious deck looks out toward Menemsha Pond and the Atlantic. We ate every meal the weather allowed at the table there, and the sunsets were spectacular. Despite the crummy weather for the first part of our week’s stay, we enjoyed the walk to Dutcher Dock and the subsequent delicious fresh fish we had for dinner. Walks on Lucy Vincent beach, fishing off the Menemsha jetty, and a very good meal in Edgartown kept us as busy as we wanted to be. The beds are comfy, the host is easy to reach, and if you don’t need a huge indoor space, you’ll find this house accommodating. The bathrooms are small, but there are two of them! Our dog was happy to be with us and liked rambling around the big yard. Looking out at the trees and water, it was easy to think there were no other houses anywhere nearby.
