About this property

Best deal in Chilmark (Open Memorial Day weekend-Nov. 15)

"Chilmark is quiet, laid back and much less congested than down-island counterparts. If you want to spread out and relax, this is an excellent part of the Island to visit. Alley's General Store and the Chilmark Tavern are nearby if you need provisions or a nice dinner. The rental itself is set back, very private, and has a massive grass yard for kids to play in. The house comes with a hidden gem...access to the nearby and private beach which is huge, pristine, and uncrowded...the nicest beach the Vineyard has to offer in our opinion. Beach can be accessed by car or via short bike ride down some nice trails through the woods. All-in, a great stay!"

Perfect family beach escape
My family and I absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home in quiet Chilmark. The bucolic grounds were lush, green, and peaceful with cute natural neighbors (rabbits, which delighted my young children). We rode our bikes to the beach which was a highlight of our stay. The wrap-around deck with lounge chairs on one side and a large table with patio chairs and an umbrella on the other. There was also a grill that we didn't end up using but was great to have as an option. The open kitchen had plenty of utensils and a dishwasher. The dining room table was large with drawers that held lobster forks. I cannot stop raving about this amazing home, location and wonderful host. Thank you for an amazing 3 weeks!

Great Location
Unfortunately, Hurricane Lee shortened our stay at this location.The grounds are beautiful, the beach is breathtaking and we love Chilmark. The house itself needs some attention. We were disappointed as the pictures looked as if everything was in good shape. The outside deck is where we spent most of our time, at least when it wasn't raining.

Chilmark Home 8/27
We loved this stay so much. The pictures do not do it any justice. The property itself is stunning. Huge lawn and beautiful tree to hang out on. We spent every afternoon playing ladder ball after the beach. Then we would either cook or drive to Menemsha for dinner. The fact that there is a fantastic market and wine market just 15 minutes down the road make it SO much easier than it used to be. Especially if you are used to staying far up island. The keyed beaches are so lovely. I can’t believe that there were so few of us on it, especially considering that there was a giant music festival while we were there. Communication with Carolyn was swift and kind and helpful. We are already planning on coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Milazzo Murphy

Host profile image
The Chilmark House has been in my husband's family since 1974. Owned by four children of a Vineyard native, the house has always been a family retreat. My mother-in-law always greeted us with heaping plates of fresh pasta after getting in on late ferries in the 1980s, and fresh swordfish from Menemsha was often sizzling on the grill. Just a mile from the beach, the house is a great place to unwind after a day of body-surfing or beach combing. This year marks our 10th year of renting out the house through VRBO. Over the years, we have made significant upgrades to enhance your stay. Last year, we painted the exterior of the house. This year, we freshened up some living room furniture and added mini split air conditioners throughout the house. The house features mini splits in every room, allowing guests to tailor their room temperature to individual preferences. Over the years, the Vineyard has become increasingly hot and humid, so we believe the mini splits are a necessary game changer. At the same time, we have tried to keep our rates reasonable, making our home one of the best bargains on the Vineyard.

Why they chose this property

Experience the secluded paradise and serenity of Martha’s Vineyard this summer at our immaculate Chilmark house, which features a key of a private Chilmark beach.The 1,300-square-foot split-level house has been in the family for 40 years, but is relatively new to the rental market. It sits on 5 acres down a private dirt road off South Road about 1 mile from Alley’s General Store and the beach. The house features high ceilings, a master bedroom with an adjoining bathroom upstairs and three bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs. It also features a Queen sleeper sofa in the sun-drenched living room. The home has new floors, appliances, furniture and linens. The wrap-around deck is being refinished this year and is the perfect spot for cocktails or early morning reading. Most of the time, you can hear the surf crashing in the distance. The house also features an outdoor shower. The Hancock Beach key will give you access to one of the Island’s most pristine exclusive beaches.
