Wow! The views from the cottage of the ocean and lighthouse were amazing. The yard was huge. We used the beach chairs provided when visiting the beaches. We really enjoyed hanging out on both decks for dinner and drinks.I'd rent again. We thoroughly enjoyed are time there. The host was very responsive when we had an issue.

Beautiful and charming home in a great Aquinnah location. Colin was a wonderful host—responsive and communicative throughout our stay. The house was cozy and generally well-kept, though, for a late season stay, it’s primarily heated by a fireplace, which can be a bit tricky to keep going overnight. Convenient if you’re staying in Aquinnah, about a 35-minute drive to Edgartown.

This was our second time staying at this amazing cottage - and we cannot wait to return! The cottage was very clean, has everything you need and is in the perfect location. Its quiet simplicity let's you enjoy your incredible surroundings and be free of 'modern' distractions. Colin is a great host and communicator. 5 stars all around!

Quiet Aquinnah

My husband and I were looking for a comfortable and secluded location for a quiet, relaxing week and we found it in this property. Clean, well-equipped, great customer service from the owner and plenty of room in the house, on the decks and in the yard. This place can be enjoyed by a couple, a family and a group of friends.

Amazing MV retreat!

Our stay at this home was magical. All the quaint charm of a cottage on Martha's Vineyard with an awesome deck with amazing views of the ocean and sunset. Perfect for our crew of 6, reunion over the 4th of July. Our host was super helpful and accommodating. We've stayed at a number of places in the Aquinnah area and this is our favorite for sure. Could not recommend highly enough.
