Martha’s Vineyard Great Summer Rental or Ideal Winter Getaway.

This secluded 2700 sq ft red oak post and beam home is situated on four acres of beetlebung groves, maple trees and miles of country roads. Only minutes from some of Americas finest beaches including the famed Gay Head cliffs. Aquinnah, formally the town of Gay Head of Moby Dick fame, is one of Martha’s Vineyards last truly rural escapes. The house is a marvel of modern conveniences melded to traditional farmhouse eloquence: three bedrooms, a semi private loft with a bed, a great room with a fireplace and a modern kitchen. In addition it has a finished walkout basement for family, guests or help. The Master bedroom has a sunk in cast iron whirlpool tub resting in a platform of sea stones for one of the most relaxing experiences you will ever enjoy. French doors off the master bedroom lead to a private balcony in the trees.

A large deck off the great room overlooks woods of native island trees, an ideal spot for outdoor dining. The Kitchen has all the modern conveniences with the extra touch of a wood-fired bread oven. The kitchen was designed with function in mind. Lots of counter space for preparing quick meals or elaborate dinners. You can sleep 9 comfortably with two queens (one with a memory foam mattress), one double, three twins and a futon. In addition to three bedrooms there is a semi private loft not considered a bedroom but a perfect place to sleep anyway. Three and a half baths plus an outdoor shower.

 

The house is wired for broadband and wifi for those that simply must stay connected. For those looking to completely escape, the night sky in Aquinnah is truly amazing. Situated on the tip of the Island, the Milky Way is visible on any clear night. Besides being the ideal summer retreat, the radiant floor heating and fireplaces make for a magical winter getaway.

Just a mile and a half from Philbin beach, one of the few places on the east coast you can see the sun set over water.

As for fishing, well, there is no finer location on the Island.
