About this property

Historic Waterfront Home in Downtown Vineyard Haven

Incredibly convenient, gracious home, perfect for large families. Spend days relaxing on the wraparound porch watching the boats sway in the harbor. Five minute walk to downtown, restaurants, ferry, grocery store, and library. Private path down to private section of the beach with plenty of room to pull up kayaks and other small boats.
The downstairs consists of dining room (seats 10-12), kitchen, living room (divided into a sitting area overlooking the harbor and TV watching area with large plasma TV), glassed-in sunroom with dining table, and a laundry room with half bath. Also downstairs, with full harbor views, is a bedroom suite with private deck and entrance. The first room has a queen bed, the second has a double bed. Accessible through the first bedroom is a full bath. There is an outdoor shower (summer months only) off of the kitchen.
The second floor has four more bedrooms (three of which face the harbor) and two bathrooms.

This house is in the best location!
This is our 2nd time renting this home, and we will be back. The house sits at the edge of the water, and you can watch the ferries go by from the porch. We love how big the house is, and it’s old enough to be charming but has everything you’ll need. Don is a great property manager and always make sure we’re well taken care of. Thank you for our stay!

Awesome location
Wonderful historic house in a prime location. Really enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching all the activities in the harbor. It is a historic house with quirks but we loved that and we will be back!

Great for the family!
This large house with fabulous views was perfect for our family of 12. It can be a struggle to find a home in our budget but this had everything we needed. Lots of bedrooms and space, and room for 3 cars. Just a short walk to town, and even the ferry! Laura, the property owner, was also really accommodating and easy to get ahold of. We’ll certainly be staying again next year if the property is available!

The best location on the island
We had two families, 5 children, and we loved being within walking distance of Vineyard Haven for shopping, dining, and ice cream every night! Vineyard Haven is a cute, smaller town so not as crowded as some other towns. Having a private beach was ideal so individual family members could come and go from the beach to the house. The view from the house was unbeatable and the adults spent a lot of time on the porch with a coffee or glass of wine, watching the boats come and go! The house is older, but all the appliances were updated and functional. Having a large number of bathrooms plus the outdoor shower was critical for us!
