Perfect for us!

We felt the need to come ‘home’ to the island to reconnect with friends and the island we were missing…so we happened on this sweet Vineyard home! It’s nestled in a great neighborhood with easy access to the town of Vineyard Haven. The screened in porch off the kitchen is perfect for relaxing and the outdoor shower was a huge treat! The house has a funky vibe which we loved and there were some house essentials that allowed us a bit of time before having to hit the Stop and Shop. We already have our August/September getaway booked and are looking forward to returning to our happy place and this cute house!

If you want a perfect vacation, stay here!

My family and I made our first visit to the vineyard, and this place made all the difference! It was a 15 min walk to the ferry terminal and bus station. At the time we visited, the busses were free so this gave us access to the whole island! The place was clean and decorated in an eclectic island style that perfectly fit the vineyard theme! The property was located on a quiet lot/street and was close to the beach and any restaurant we wanted in Vineyard Haven. The a/c units worked great. We also saw lots of wildlife on the property/neighborhood including rabbits, deer, turkeys, and a wide variety of other birds. We even got to see fireflies for the first time sitting on the enclosed back porch! The outdoor shower was lovely! There was a guest book that included anything we needed to know about the property and everything under the sun that we could see or do in the area. Both the host and the property manager were very communicative and we felt welcome! Thanks for letting us stay!

Hidden Gem

We had a great long weekend at this rental. The house is set back, private, very clean and had everything we needed. The owner and agent were so attentive and helpful, probably the best we have ever dealt when renting. We definitely will look to rent here again!!!

Spotless and comfortable

This was the most peaceful place! Lovely, joyful gardens, comfortable porch and outdoor seating, easily accessed outdoor shower off the porch. All tastefully decorated and appointed; bright and inviting. Walkable or rideable to town and the ferry. We only stayed a few days but hoping to return in the future. Excellent for a couple or a family.

Great cottage in Tisbury

Wonderful, quaint home with tons of Vineyard charm. Love how the place is walking distance to VH so it was easy and fun to grab a coffee and roll from Black Dog Cafe and then enjoy the boats in the harbor each day. Though close to town and easy to get around, the property is very private with a huge backyard amazing sun porch and outdoor space that made it very easy for relaxing. Thanks!

First and foremost, if you're reading this review you should know that Annette will email you after your visit, with a quid-pro-quo style review request; offering you a 5 star review, but only if you leave one first. Secondly, she as well as the owner will offer you to re rent "privately" in the future, which is a violation of VRBO policies. The property fit our needs decently well. However, Anette, the person who played the property manager role in leasing the home, was overbearing. Annette's over the top communication style which, often times, included full caps lock, bold and underlined fonts was unprofessional.Communication was too much for us - before, during and after. We just wanted to be on vacation. Instead it was nearly a text or call every day asking if we checked in, if the trash was taken this day or that day, etc. All that back and forth and yet the landscaper showed up unannounced. I understand the need for communication, but the check in instructions are emailed, posted and resent before check in. At some point it starts to feel like we're being parented rather than what we are - paying visitors. The "lease" process is a bit of a joke. First, you won't get the lease, yet you will be asked to pay the remaining sum. That's right; you're expected to pay in full before even reviewing a "legally binding" contract. "Legally binding" because no one is actually required to sign this contract. They just type names in a cursive font within a word document. Cont...

Serenity on the Vineyard

We absolutely loved our stay at the Barile Cottage. Our first day, there was a soft rain but it was magical being out on the screened in porch looking out onto that beautiful back yard! In fact, we spent the majority of our time at the cottage out on that porch. The house is adorable, immaculate and tucked away for privacy. We loved our walks downtown looking at all the pretty houses and bushes and trees in full bloom. Communication with Annette the property manager and Matthew the owner was top notch. He even called us on our first day to make sure check in went smoothly and to please call him if we needed anything. We definitely would book this cottage again in a heartbeat next time we come to the Vineyard.

Return to the Island

5 night stay for 4 of us. Home was as expected and worked fine for the 4 of us. The sleeping situation was a bit tough with 2 teenagers, father, and grandfather. we brought an air mattress for one to use in the living room while two slept upstairs on small, twin beds in tight quarters. The bedroom downstairs worked well for one person with a full bed. The furniture needs some updating but was as advertised. Nice, quiet spot close to downtown VH.

The property is very well appointed. The screen porch is probably the best feature as you can use it brain or shine. It’s an easy walk into Vineyard Haven, and an easy car ride to Edgar town and Oak Bluffs. The owner and property manager were very attentive and easy to deal with. We definitely will be coming back to stay here again.

Mixed Review -

The house was in a nice location: walkable to town, quiet street, secluded back yard. The outdoor shower was nice, as well as the screened in porch. I was pleased with the cleanliness of the house upon our arrival. The kitchen was stocked with necessary dishes and such. The upstairs beds did have new comfortable mattresses (we saw older reviews said the mattresses were bad).As other people have noted, the house is basic. The other furniture could use some updating, as the living room furniture was uncomfortable. The porch furniture was very worn and one of the kitchen chair backs was broken. One should note that the house is down a small hill at the bottom of a dirt driveway. As someone who has visited the vineyard many times, this did not surprise me. However, the initial condition of the driveway was poor and my car was bottoming out. Matthew did send someone over to fill in the driveway during our stay. The PROBLEM: The upstairs bedroom was difficult to air condition. The photos of the bedroom and stairs leading up to the bedroom OMIT the triangular section of the wall MISSING above the door where the roof peaks. It was difficult to AC that room as air continually escaped. We contacted the owner. He suggested we sleep downstairs OR leave both ACs on all night to cool the house. Both ACs are very tiny, and that solution did not work. We also chose to sleep in twin beds since a double bed is not comfortable for the two of us. (and what if there were fo

Peaceful Cottage Just Outside Downtown Vineyard Haven

Very relaxing cottage just outside of downtown Vineyard Haven. This properly was everything we were looking for. We brought our 2 dogs so the big yard and screen porch were great. The house was cozy and had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. Only critique would be on the bed in the main bedroom as it was a bit hard but otherwise everything was great including the host who gave us some great restaurant recommendations. We would definitely rent here again.
