We'd love to welcome you into our lovely 500 sq. ft. guest cottage on the outskirts of the historic town of Vineyard Haven. It's located on a peaceful, residential hilltop and features its own fenced in yard w a bbq grill, seating area, outdoor shower (an Island must-have!) and a brand new fire pit with Adirondack chairs. Relax with a book, or a meal and a bottle of wine - you can even work out there - the fast internet has great reach. When you first walk into the cottage you are in the charming, tastefully decorated main part of the cottage, which features a living room with open kitchen, and also a bathroom off to your left. The wonderfully designed kitchen has everything you'll need for cooking all of your meals (unless you hit some of the wonderful Island restaurants!) including coffee maker (with re-washable gold filter), a full array of pots and pans, and even some pantry items like oil/vinegar, salt/pepper, and some other spices. The living room area has a brand new Crate and Barrel sofa (with queen sofa bed), a lovely comfie chair, and a large wall-mounted flat screen TV with cable and streaming channels. Through the living room is the cozy master bedroom, which has a very comfortable full sized bed, dresser, end table, roomy closet and has a range of all brand new pillows of different feels, to suit your needs. When you walk into that bedroom, there is a door on your left that goes to the twin room. It is a clever little room that overlooks the yard, with a built-in single daybed, shelving, desk and small stacked washer and dryer. * Please note: This twin room can only be accessed through the bedroom. The cottage is situated high on a hilltop behind the main house, and is close proximity to everything- town, shops & restaurants, playground, sports fields, beaches. *On the property is an additional 4BR home, that is also for rent. Ask us about it! I will be available to you throughout your stay. That is what I am here for - to make sure you have a beautiful vacation with us. This beautiful hilltop cottage is on a lovely residential street a short walk to town (Main Street in Vineyard Haven). You can walk either through a park and playground or along the lagoon to go into town, to restaurants or shops, or to the ferry. A 7 minute walk down the hill to the Lagoon and boat rentals where you can rent kayaks, and another 10 min farther to learn to windsurf! Only 1 mile to Owen Little Park Beach, and 1 1/2 miles to Eastville Beach. A true pleasure. The newest addition is the amazing Martha's Vineyard Museum, which is literally a 3 minute walk. For children, walk to Veterans's Memorial Park and play ball, swing or fly a kite. For the adults, walk to the lagoon and kayak, or walk downtown to great shops and restaurants and stroll the historic homes. Martha's Vineyard is a beautiful island off of Cape Cod, in Massachusetts. Vineyard Haven is the primary port, with historic homes, lovely beaches, fabulous shopping and delicious restaurants. Our cottage is just outside the center of Vineyard Haven and the ferry. This home is a short walk to town, water, restaurants, shops, movie theaters, ferry, and right off a bike path. However, you can also take a short walk to the buses in town - they are great and will take you all over the island if you prefer to leave your car at home. PUPS One more thing for you dog owners!
