Beautifully renovated and superbly decorated, this home balances tasteful elegance and modern comfort. Exquisite stone patio opens to terraced steps leading to 130 feet of private, sandy beach on the Lagoon.

Beach Access! Extraordinary 137 feet of private, sandy beach on the Lagoon Pond just steps (48 steps to be precise) from your door. The Lagoon is warmer and calmer than the ocean, making it perfect for swimming (especially for little ones). Spending a day at South Beach, the Inkwell or Jaws Bridge is certainly not to be missed or minimized. But with a sandy beach and beautiful water just steps away, you can add in a morning dip or an afternoon paddle to your everyday routine. House includes two stand-up paddle boards, two single and one double kayak, boogie board, towable tube, clamming rake, beach chairs, umbrella and beach toys. Additional kayaks, paddle boards, small sailboats, windsurfing are rentable—delivered to the house or across the Lagoon.

Peaceful Lagoon View! Relax on the patio with a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. Enjoy glorious sunsets on the Lagoon with the Vineyard Sound in the distance while you listen to the sounds of the beach (seagulls and ferries) and breathe fresh sea air. Watch the local osprey and cormorants dive for meals or read a novel in the sun-filled living room or on the second story deck. The Master Bedroom faces the Lagoon, allowing you to relax in bed as you watch the morning ferry sail out of Vineyard Haven.

Main House. The main house hosts a second-story master bedroom (King) with master bath and second floor deck with spectacular views. There is a small room off the master bedroom with a daybed and armoire—perfect for a Pack-n-Play or just to spread out.

The main floor offers two additional Queen bedrooms; a second full bathroom; a chef’s kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances and gorgeous island that opens to the chic, yet comfortable great room; and a dining room with wine fridge. The main floor opens to a beautiful blue-stone patio for outdoor relaxing, grilling and dining. An outdoor shower (unenclosed) is tucked around the corner.

Guest House. A separate guest house hosts one bedroom (two twins), full bath, kitchenette and living room (with pull out sleeper-sofa), plus an enclosed, light-drenched porch.

Great set-up for extended family or two-family vacation. The home has A/C, parking for 4 cars, washer and dryer, gas grills, cable TV (with flat screens in the living room, master bedroom and Guest House), beach toys and high speed WiFi. Linens (sheets and towels) are included.

Beautiful home in an ideal location

We came as a party of 10 with 4 kids under 4 and this home was amazing for our group. The kids loved the easy access to the water as well as all the beach supplies provided (made packing much easier!) and the views of the water made me feel like I was on vacation every minute I was there. It’s easily accessible to oak bluffs Centre by car (or maybe bike if we weren’t so kid laden!) but feels very tucked away and private. Wayne and Barbara are incredibly communicative and helpful and check in was very easy. My husband and I have been coming to MV for years and it’s our favorite place we have stayed and it was a wonderful introduction to the island for our friends who were first timers. Thank you again for a lovely vacation!

Helped us reconnect!

We had a wonderful stay here and everyone in our family kept saying it was “magical.” Even with less than stellar weather during the week, we enjoyed the location and the setup of the house that allowed us to gather and reconnect as a family. Lots of attention to detail at the home including the water sport toys, grill, fire table (s’mores every night!) and more. Would highly recommend.

Amazing stay on Martha's vineyard!

We stayed here for our wedding weekend with the family and couldn't be happier. Wayne and Barbara worked with us on booking accomodations and kept in contact up until before our time there. The property truly is as gorgeous as the listing! Our family couldn't stop raving about the house, amenities, and views. It's close to everything in Oaks Bluff and still super private. I would stay here again every time and recommend to all!

About the host

Hosted by Wayne

We have been visiting Martha’s Vineyard every summer since our son was a toddler (he’s now a freshman in college; well, he’s home distance learning now due to the pandemic, but this too will pass). We have stayed in every town down island, each year or two finding a home that is a little bit more perfect than the last. Eventually we landed at a rental on Lagoon Pond, nestled between Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven. Once we experienced the glory of mornings and sunsets on the Lagoon, we knew we had found our perfect spot.

Why they chose this property

As we toyed with the idea of purchasing a home on the Vineyard, we knew we had to be on the Oak Bluffs side of the Lagoon, but there are only so many homes on the stretch of Lagoon that we preferred. Truthfully, the idea of owning a home on the Lagoon felt like a dream a little too good to ever become true. When we learned that the home at 82 Springfield Avenue might be for sale, we knew: THIS is what we have been waiting for.

We feel lucky and honored to have been fortunate to purchase 82 Springfield from its prior owners. The prior owners renovated the home, which is 100 years old, with an unbelievable eye to detail, to elegance balanced by comfort, to an amazing fit with its unique location on the Lagoon. Sometimes you just know when something feels right – and to us, we knew from the first minute that 82 Springfield felt like home.

What makes this property unique

We hope that 82 Springfield feels like home to you too, if only for a stretch of time. But if you are like us, you will realize what a special piece of Earth you have found on the Oak Bluffs side of Lagoon Pond and you will want to return to enjoy this terrific place year after year.
