Historic Sea Captains House in the Heart of West Tisbury

We love this house! The property is every bit as beautiful as the pictures. The rooms are spacious and the furnishings are lovely. The large, well-furnished, screened-in porch which has a large table for dining was a great spot for meals and hanging out. We were a party of 6 adults; we love to cook and the kitchen was extremely well equipped, better than we have found in any of the many rentals where we've stayed in the past. We also loved the West Tisbury location. We usually stay in Vineyard Haven, but found West Tisbury to be more centrally located and a bit closer to our favorite beach at Long Point. To note: the town of West Tisbury (like many on the island) is a 'dry town' so you'll need to travel to Edgartown or Oak Bluffs for wine, beer, etc. so one needs to plan around that. We'll be back to this lovely, tranquil spot.

This wonderful home in the center of West Tisbury was everything we were seeking this summer and more. The house is so spacious, we spent different times of the day in different rooms. The kitchen, with washer and dryer included, is a perfectly working kitchen to whip up any meal, and then enjoy it on the totally awesome screened in porch. As a family we spent most mornings and evenings sitting on this porch. A private back yard garden provided a place for us to play, and the outdoor shower was perfect when returning from the beach. Sitting in the center of West Tisbury we were a direct shot to all of our favorite destinations - Edgartown, South Beach and Menemsha. The street is walkable and bikeable, and the offerings of the various daily markets across the street made life even better. Alley's General Store and the bakery 7a behind us, as well as the library and art galleries, playground and an island bus stop and gas station, provided for everything we needed. The buzz of this local town was so fun to be a part of on a daily basis. Wonderful yoga studios are near by, as well as some relaxing drives to pick up some local honey, produce or totally delicious sandwiches and pizzas. The house was clean, airy, private and safe. It had all the amenities needed for daily life. The owner was 100% available at all times. We totally appreciated our month of July at this house. We would highly recommend this house for a lovely vacation of rest, relaxation, fun and adventure.
