Photos and Description of the West Tisbury vacation studio rental
studio loft with full bath, sleeps 2 +

Spacious, sunny, secluded Studio Loft with lots of windows and private deck overlooking wooded setting. Walk 15 minutes and you'll be at the ocean on beautiful Lambert's Cove beach. Walk 10 minutes and enjoy the tranquility of swimming in a secluded freshwater nature preserve. The property includes an enclosed outdoor shower (roomy enough for two!) as well as a perennial garden. If you love to bike, having a car is optional. Fine dining, casual eats, bakeries, groceries, farmer's market, art galleries, hiking trails, and nature preserves are all close by, as is a public bus route which takes guests (and their bikes) all over the Island for a nominal cost..

Tranquility: This part of the Island is an oasis of peacefulness and natural beauty. While daytrippers pour into Oak Bluffs and Edgartown, West Tisbury is a hidden gem--no crowds, no stress. Lambert's Cove beach is accessible only to West Tisbury residents and their guests which makes it an exclusive and serene destination.

About Alice

We have had a vacation home on the island for 30 years and recently renovated our property to add the separate studio guesthouse which we maintain not just as a rental but also as a guesthouse for our family and friends. As hands-on owners who use this property ourselves, we take meticulous care of both the interior and the grounds. I think you'll find from reading our reviews that the attention and care we devote to ensuring that our guests have a good experience is much appreciated.We take great pride in sharing the Island, and especially the timeless charm of West Tisbury with all our guests.

Alice purchased this studio in 2006
Why Alice chose West Tisbury

Our location is rare--it's centrally located on the Island yet very secluded. It's one of the few properties where you are a few minutes walk from both an exclusive ocean beach and a conservation freshwater swimming preserve.

On even the busiest day of the summer, eg July 4, you will be far away from the tourists and the traffic.

What makes this studio unique

You'll be a short walk from one of the most beautiful beaches on the Island--Lambert's Cove--which is exclusive only to residents and tenants of West Tisbury as well as to the Island's only freshwater beach on Uncle Seth's pond.

it's easy biking to numerous conservation areas, hiking trails, galleries, restaurants, bakeries, the twice weekly West Tisbury Farmer's Market, and the Vineyard's weekly Artisan's Fair.

A lovely hideaway!

We loved our stay last summer at this wonderful little hideaway. I was a bit concerned about the size - there were three of us - me, my husband and our 3 year old daughter. But, the space is layed out beautifully and we were all very comfortable. There is a lot of great stuff packed into this studio - a bathroom with a tub/shower, comfy bed, extra twin bed, adorable kitchen with a full fridge, and storage space in the garage to boot! We were even able to find adequate space for our daughter's pack and play without it getting in the way. And we were thrilled that there was a washing machine (cleverly tucked under the bathroom counter). There isn't a dryer, but it was fun hanging our clothes out to dry on the clothesline with my daughter.

Staying here allowed us access to the glorious Lambert's Cove Beach ~ what a treat. And although the studio is on the same property as the main house, we had our own driveway lots of privacy . Alice and her husband are warm and friendly, and we look forward to seeing them again when we return this summer. Happily, we can pack a bit lighter because Alice has thought of everything!

"I loved your studio. It was immaculate and stocked with any and every amenity I could hope for as a renter from paper towels, laundry soap and such staples to lovely furniture, cookware, and such a comfortable bed! Your generosity in giving us half of the garage for storage, umbrella and beach chairs and an amazing outdoor shower was just icing on the cake! Nothing could have been better than this perfect "treehouse" surrounded by light and such a short walk to the most beautiful beach on the island!"
Owner's Response: Deb,
We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your stay.We're even more thrilled that you've decided to come back next summer. We take pride in having so many guests who come back on a yearly basis. See you in July!

"Once you enter, you feel like you've always been here. The place is
spacious, bright, and tastefully decorated (even with some original art). It's
spotless and immediately welcoming. The bathroom and all the appliances
are new. It has its own deck and the property even has an outdoor shower!
The location is private and very quiet, yet within walking distance to the
beach. You will feel like this is really your own special place on The
Vineyard."
Owner's Response: "Welcoming" is exactly our goal so we are gratified that was your experience. This is not only a summer rental but also our personal guesthouse for our family and friends. As a result, we pay particular attention to decor and maintenance (more so I think than properties that are exclusively rentals). It was a pleasure having you visit.

My boyfriend and I would recommend this rental to any couple who likes to be away from the touristy crowd yet still be close to everything. First of all, the studio is airy, comfortable, nicely decorated, immaculate, and extremely private. It's located in a quiet, natural setting that is walking distance to the beach and 2 ponds. Since we live in the suburbs, we really appreciated not being tied down to the car. Also, West Tisbury has such a laid-back vibe (much different from Oak Bluffs and Edgartown).
We look forward to coming back.
Owner's Response: We really like introducing people to the Vineyard--and the charm of West Tisbury. And it's gratifying to hear how others love this area as much as we do. You were wonderful tenants. We feel very lucky on our end to meet so many warm and gracious people who stay with us. Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it!

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

May husband and I wanted to get away for a week and just relax. The apartment is set back in a "country like" setting and was extremly comfortable. The owners were very helpful in letting us know how to navigate the island and the best places to go and see. It was great to have a washer/dryer in the apartment and the outside shower is a "must" to try!! We are renting another week this year and look forward to another time to kick back and have fun.

My husband and I have rented this property 2 years in a row--it's ideal for a couple and very charming. The location is so special--we loved the freedom to walk to the beach whenever we felt like it (it's so close, we could go and come back leisurely as many times a day as we wanted) Also, the conservation swimming spot, literally a few minutes walk, is out of this world. West Tisbury is such a peaceful, uncrowded part of the island. This is a great value for anyone on a budget!

Owner's Response: Thanks. We really try to keep our rental affordable. It's one of the very few properties in the budget range in this area. We find that our Guests are pleased to be able to visit the Vineyard,have a nice place to stay, and not overspend doing so. Alice

This property was truly charming, private and peaceful. It's in a lovely area with a short walk to the beach. It is also a short walk, following a lovely trail, to a pristine lake.

The property itself was very comfy and inviting. It was meticulously maintained. I would recommend it to family and friends without hesitation.
Owner's Response: Thanks for your kind words. We agree that being able to walk to the ocean, the pond, and the conservation swimming preserve make this a very relaxing spot. Since the studio is also our guesthouse for friends and family, we want our rental guests to feel as comfortable as our personal guests. We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay.
