About this property

Luminous rural retreat with spectacular ocean views.

Tucked into the woods, this elegant house offers a panoramic view of the full sweep of the Vineyard Sound from Woods Hole to Cuttyhunk -- by day, sailboats and the Elizabeth Islands and beyond, followed by magnificent sunsets and then the mainland coast sparkling with lights at night. A short walk brings you to one of the island’s most beautiful private beaches, the historic Brickyard where the original kiln chimney-tower stands as a landmark. One can drive part way down or walk (10-15 minutes).
The house overlooks and provides easy access to the extensive trails on the 200 acre Menemsha Hills Reservation, including resplendent views from the top of Prospect Hill (the highest point on the island), which affords a glorious vista of the western end of the Vineyard.
With your lease you are able to purchase beach stickers to both private town beaches - Lucy Vincent and Squibnocket.

Our wedding week
My family stayed at Susanna's beautiful home the week my son got married on Martha's Vineyard. This is a spectacular house, light-filled, art-filled, and with a view of the water. It is very peaceful and everywhere you look there is beauty. We walked to the Brickyard and bought a pass to Lucy Vincent Beach. We ate lobster rolls in Menemsha. We were a party of 7 and there was more than enough room. The house is very spacious. And the kitchen is enormous and has anything you could want. Susanna has toys and books for children and a very substantial high chair that a young visitor enjoyed. We have already asked to stay next summer. We loved it here.

Lovely vacation home with perks
We stayed here as a four-generation group of seven. The house accommodated us very nicely (more on that below). The location provides quick access to Menemsha and the Chilmark store (bonus!) The house itself is endlessly fascinating: the design, the art . . . and the artifacts! Beach stones, shells, bones and fossils on display; the house feels like it is the result of a lifetime of collecting precious things. The house was laid out perfectly for us. The master is at one end of the house, while the other two bedrooms and bath on the first level are at the opposite side of the house with a pocket door to add privacy. The additional bedrooms downstairs were perfect for our grandkids (10 and 13). The opposing decks provide a sunny ocean view on one side and a more shaded, garden space on the other. Plantings and water lilies in bloom add to the sense of tranquility on this side. The kitchen is beyond well stocked. It has everything you could possibly need for utensils, equipment, dishes and serveware. And the owner does a great job with written information for renters, not only for general house topics, but also where to find things in the house. The younger generations loved the access to the private beach with parking. They frequented it daily, if only for an after-dinner swim on days that they traveled further afield. Please note that the road to the beach requires something more than a family sedan; your SUV and attentive driving will get you there without a problem. We were given local numbers for both the owner and the caretaker in case we needed anything, but the need didn't arise.

private stay in a beautiful area
Lovely and private home with access to beautiful, long walks and gorgeous sunsets. Would recommend for anyone who appreciates peace and quiet and doesn't mind being a bit if a drive away from stores and the like.
