Beautiful quiet location

The house is in a beautiful setting close to stores and beach. A bit small for 3 adults but spotless and tasteful. The kitchen was very clean which I especially appreciated (particularly after a few "sticky" kitchens in expensive rentals). The picnic table outside allows to extend the eating space to the garden. Our hosts were responsive and discreet,

A perfect escape

This beautiful little cottage with a view of the harbor was a perfect escape from our City life. The space is smartly laid out and the living room with glass walls on three sides is the perfect spot to relax with a book -- it was equally beautiful to watch a storm approach as it was to watch the sun set.

Richard, so glad you had a great time. I agree storms are fun to watch from the house.

About the host

Hosted by Christian Iantosca

Host profile image
We are from Boston and have been coming to the island since I was born. Bought this home in 2022 and its been a dream. I love the great feedback we get on this house and the setting.

Why they chose this property

This location has such a relaxing nature driven vibe. We love Menemsha and the sunsets from the deck can be breathtaking. No noise or distractions. Total relaxation. A bit off the grid in feel but really mins away from a beach, restaurant. We love all the hiking trails nearby that are usually deserted.

What makes this property unique

The views, ocean and pond. Amazing sunsets and the large yard is great for dogs. We are on conservation land so there is a brook & small pond on the property.
