We are writing this review and we are still here but had to post this now. We could not ask for anything better than what we found with Alice's West Tisbury studio. It is immaculate, provides more than adequate living space, well equipped and is listed 100% accurately regarding description and amenities.
After touring the entire Island and other towns, this "is" the place to be to experience what the Vineyard is all about. Alice's home is located in the woods, away from all the touristy stuff yet close enough when you want to go to those places. Staying here gives you the feel of being a resident of the Island. And West Tisbury is by far the most quaint of all the towns on the Island. We would never stay anywhere else when we return.
We did make one mistake. We assumed that because we needed to bring our own linens that we needed to bring a lot of other stuff. So we bought staples (salt, pepper, oil, etc.) and supplies (foil, wrap, paper towels, etc.) before we came onto the Island. WRONG! All that and more is already provided. So just bring your sheets and towels. Also, so nice to have a washing machine right in the studio as we assumed it would be downstairs in the garage.
The kitchen is fully equipped and more than adequate to prepare even an extensive meal. Just be aware that there is no stove or oven. There is a hot plate, toaster oven and microwave which turned out to be just fine. Even though the amenities did not list a range, we figured there would be one but quickly learned that it is no big deal. Plus, we used the outdoor grille a lot.
We don't need to go anywhere the rest of our stay to enjoy the Vineyard. Staying here in the studio, laying in the hammock, having cocktails in Alice's lovely grounds, or walking to the pond or beach is more than adequate.
Alice, thank you for being such a gracious hostess from the time we first contacted you and for providing this spot of Vineyard "heaven" for our enjoyment. We love it so much that it inspired us to make our 25 year partnership legal, at least here in Massachusetts, so got married in West Tisbury by a Justice of the Peace on Friday at the Field Gallery.

Owner's Response: It is always a joy to introduce our guests to the beauty and charm of this less traveled part if the Island. There are so many hidden gems in West Tisbury and it's a great pleasure to have guests who appreciate this spot as much as we do. It's so wonderful to hear that you found such peace and contentment staying at our Studio that you were inspired to get married during your visit!! Congratulations Bill and Martin--you are a delightful couple and it was our pleasure to host you!
Best wishes and much happiness,
Alice
