We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful, pet friendly property in Aquinnah. The house is very welcoming and comfortable, and the property is beautifully landscaped. It’s a great getaway, both from everyday life and crowded parts of Martha’s Vineyard. Thank you Kelly and Don for sharing you lovely home with us.

Our stay at the Silva's was everything we were looking for and more for a short getaway to Martha's Vineyard. The house looked better than the pictures! Check in was easy with the door code and the binder about the house was very helpful. We travelled with our two dogs who had a blast playing in the yard. The house was super close to Lobsterville beach, which we took the dogs to for morning walks. Aquinnah was beautiful, quiet and peaceful, especially compared to some of the more touristy parts of the island. It was the perfect location for us and our dogs to relax. Highly recommend!!!

A perfect retreat in Aquinnah

This was a highly comfortable vacation home for our family in a gorgeous more isolated part of the island. The property was beautifully maintained, house with all needed amenities and more, and owners responsive and welcoming. We’ll be back!

Great spot to get away

We enjoyed all that the area had to offer. The house is set in a lovely wooded area with a pond. We really enjoyed being outside and visiting the nearby beaches and hiking trails. We also enjoyed having coffee on the deck and observing the various wildlife. Would highly recommend this property if you enjoy outdoor adventures.

The most wonderful few days

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Silva property. It was the perfect R&R we all needed. The backyard is private yet close to the beach, lighthouse, and fun things to do in chilmark. It was also perfect for our black lab who enjoyed playing fetch on the lawn and relaxing by the hammock. We can’t wait to come back next summer!

So Peaceful!

We’ve been coming every summer to stay on the vineyard for years, and this was our fav rental. Plenty of space for the family, clean, had everything we needed. The yard was soo peaceful and beautifully manicured, and the little pond in the yard was fun to check out some frogs, turtles, & dragonflies. I would definitely recommend!

Up island treasure

Our family of 4 stayed at the cozy getaway and it was everything we wanted and more! Great amenities like the fire pit and outdoor shower. Very comfortable inside space and all the kitchen we needed for a few home cooked meals. The Silva’s were excellent and responsive hosts. I’d give it more than 5 stars if able!

We loved playing fetch in the yard with Gus, bike rides to the beach down the road, and relaxing at lobsterville beach. Kelly was quick to respond to all our needs and she even let us check in early. We cannot wait to come back!

Beautiful Property

My family had an incredible time staying at this house. My two kids (ages 3 and 1.5) loved looking for frogs in the pond and my dog loved running around the large yard. During the day, we went to the beach right down the road and at night, we went out to dinner in a nearby town or ate at home and made s’mores by the fire. I highly recommend if you want to have a perfect vacation.

Aquinnah gem

This was a wonderful place to stay in Aquinnah...we've stayed in multiple homes and this stands out for its location, serenity, and family (and pet) friendly layout. Kelly and Don were terrific communicators, and responsive to any question we had. Kelly even hustled to get us beach towels on day 1 when I let her know that we couldn't find them. I gave the cleanliness 4 stars (which is still great!) only because the house was a little dusty and sandy...I think we were the first renters of the season and it just seemed like it needed a refresh.

About the host

Hosted by KELLY SILVA

Host profile image
We are the Silva family from Taunton, MA. We have two children and a dog. Since 2013, my husband had been working in Martha's Vineyard, and he heard about the property for sale in Aquinnah. Of course, we fell in love with the land right away. That is when we decided to build a home there, and with a few hiccups along the way, we managed to finish our dream house on the island.

Why they chose this property

We always wanted to own a summer home on Martha's Vineyard where we could escape to with our family. Aquinnah's ties to the Wampanoag tribe was a big draw for my husband, and Philbin Beach was what captured my heart. The location is serene, private, and picturesque.
