Whether a family of four, or three couples, or a family reunion, this contemporary house and attached guest house offer an expansive and serene retreat. Large decks, oak-shaded lawns, private dock, fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, comfortable furniture and lots of windows ensure and enjoyable escape from a hectic world. Keeping in touch, however, is easy with 2 phone lines and a fax line, WiFi and Ethernet connections, and good cell phone coverage.

Contemporary on the water 4 acres: Martha's Vineyard is a magical place. Experience a secret part of the Vineyard that few will ever see.

Down a wooded country road, you will find a beautiful contemporary house, with guest house, situated on four acres fronting the Edgartown Great Pond, a coastal sanctuary.

This body of warm water, surrounded by miles of pristine shoreline, is home to swans, geese, terns, gulls, plovers, osprey, horseshoe and blue crabs, and even a playful otter. A narrow strip of sand separates the Pond from a restricted access Atlantic beach that is ten minutes by boat from your own private dock. Access is only available to owners and guests/renters. You can picnic by the dunes, or walk for miles along the beach and, often, see only your own footprints. Guests are encouraged to explore the Pond by sea kayak, windsurfer, sunfish or motorboat. Children will love swimming at the beach or playing on the extensive oak-shaded lawns.

Privacy and accessibility: The house has a comfortable elegance that allows for both impressive entertaining and casual family gatherings. Cathedral ceilings, white oak paneling, oak floors, expansive decks and picture windows throughout compliment the surrounding natural beauty.

Additional amenities include fireplaces, cable television, unlimited long distance calling, WiFi and Ethernet connections, two phone lines and a fax line.

Yet, this beautiful and well-equipped house is an eight-minute drive from the picturesque and historic whaling village of Edgartown, with world-class shopping and restaurants.

This fabulous spot is accessible by airline from New York, Providence, and Boston; and by car from Wood’s Hole via the ferry. A no vehicle fast ferry is also available from New Bedford. Automobiles, scooters, bicycles, watercraft are easily rented on the island.

Enjoy private tranquility or exciting entertaining and adventure.

Notes: This contemporary house is fully outfitted to make the most of your stay. Most appliances are 1-3 years old, and kitchen is set up for gourmet cooking. For guests staying one week, linen and towel change, cleaning and laundry will be done on the day of departure and charged to guests. The house will, of course, be clean upon your arrival. Guests may, however, have housekeeping services as frequently as desired (at guests' cost). For guests staying longer than one week, we request that our housekeeping staff change towels, bed linens and do light cleaning at least every 4-5 days, in addition to the cleaning at departure. It is highly recommended that guests rent a outboard motor boat from ' Wendy's Book-A-Boat'. A boat will be delivered to the house's dock when desired, and picked up when no longer needed. This is a great way to access the private Atlantic beach and to see the unspoiled sanctuary.

A perfect vacation haven of elegance, chic, tranquility, and relaxation. All amenities were perfectly appointed, maintained and impeccable. The open floor plan afforded us the feeling of space we sought, with light flowing in. The decks are great for entertaining and relaxing. It was so nice to have our own private dock providing privacy and practicality. The serenity of Great Pond is wonderful and yet we were so close to the old whaling village. The children enjoyed the big shaded lawn. In short it is an idyllic vacation home on a remarkable island ; all descriptions accurate, owners helpful and kind, 100% recommendation.

The Perfect Blend

5 of 5
Submitted: September 22, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We really enjoyed staying at this house because it is the perfect blend of relaxed yet stylish, functional yet flowing, peaceful and serene yet near enough to the quaint old whaling village with all its shops and restaurants. The children loved the big lawn and swimming off the point in the lagoon. We rented a boat to go to the beach which was so private. It was really nice to have the air conditioning, especially for sleeping. All the beds, linens and towels looked new. There were plenty of glasses and dishes for when we had friends the family all together for a anniversary dinner. We'd definitely come back again.

A marvelous house - perfect in every way!

5 of 5
Submitted: August 3, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
We rented the house to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday, so this was a big occasion. After much research, we were not disappointed. The houses are a perfect setting for a get together with family/friends. The layout gives plenty of space for people to spread out. The house is incredibly well-equipped for dinner parties, and even wine tastings. The living space is roomy, comfortable and stylish. The kitchen has more than you would ever need.
The location is fantastic for those who plan to spend more time hanging out and enjoying the pond and private beach. It is easy enough to get into Edgartown and around the island, but if you want to go out every night, you may prefer to be closer. But why would you with such a gorgeous home away from home.
The bedrooms in the main house are actually much nicer than they appear from the pictures. The bedrooms in the guest house are not quite as nice as they have not been as recently renovated, but are perfectly fine. The guest house living area is quite cute in a Scandinavian style. The 2 outdoor showers are a treat.
All in all, I would recommend this house to anyone. Tom, the owner, is an absolute gentleman and very much wants you to have a wonderful experience. You will have a wonderful stay.

Owner's Response: Thank you for the glowing and frank comments. Every year, we refresh parts our house so that it feels comfotable, clean and upbeat. So, glad you enjoyed your stay - come again!

Beautiful Home/Wonderful Location

5 of 5
Submitted: May 15, 2011 Stayed: October 2010
We absolutely loved the open/airiness of the home, with so many options inside and outside for relaxing and spending time together. The decor is perfect - elegant yet comfortable. We loved the fire place on cool nights. All the conveniences are there. The kitchen
is fully stocked and very fun for cooking.
The location is also wonderful, quiet, peaceful, with gorgeous water views. A short bike ride or walk to the bike path into town, the location affords both quiet countryside living and convenience to all the fun activities in Edgartown. Be sure to ask the helpful and friendly owners where to find the best seafood, oysters, and chocolate on the island.
We look forward to being back this year.
