Commanding Lagoon Waterfront, Private Beach: 180° View
Vineyard Haven Vacation Rental - ID 33283

We are in our last days here and we are listening to the water and reading our books. There is nothing like it! Close enough to walk to town but secluded enough to enjoy peacefulness. Barbara is always easy to work with and we love staying here. This is our second year here. I highly recommend a stay here if you are in MV!

family stayed for a week…and boy do we wish we could have stayed longer! The house had everything our family needed and offered outstanding views from every room. I had to pinch myself every morning that we were staying here. The house is so beautifully decorated. The decor feels so crisp and clean. The owner had laundry supplies available which was very helpful for our active family. We enjoyed sitting on the deck to enjoy meals. We felt like we had plenty of room for our family.

Will definitely come back to visit again! Don't hesitate to book! Barbara was amazing to work with during the whole visit.

Fantastic property and superb landlord!
Barbara's home is amazing. Incredibly beautiful views of the lagoon. Barbara keeps an immaculate home fully supplied with everything one could need on a vacation. And Barbara is a tremendous host….offering to help with terrific ideas about all the Vineyard has to offer. I look forward to returning soon!

It was one of the nicest properties we have been to. It is right on the lake and the kids loved canoeing at all times of the day. The home is isolated so it's very peaceful with an amazing view of the water. But it's only five minutes from all the action and restaurants. Barbara our host was extremely hospitable and flexible. Was truly an amazing experience and would highly recommend to anyone. We would love to come back and do it again.

We could tell from the photos that this house would be special. But my husband and I were unprepared for what we walked into. This is a beautiful, absolutely immaculate, joy-filled sanctuary. Barbara's love and warmth and generosity of spirit — evident from her first word of communication — are in every stitch and inch and cup and towel and hanger and pillow and corner. At every turn, the answer she gives is: yes. Generosity. Quality. Luxury. Simple and pure beauty in every corner of design. One week was not nearly enough. We could not tear ourselves away from the deck. We sat for hours, having morning coffee, reading, talking, sharing meals, gazing at the stars. Even the deck furniture is perfect, beautiful, comfortable, providing the perfect perch for listening to water lap the shores of our private beach, watching the birds fly overhead, watching the light change. Getting away to the Vineyard and landing in this treasure of a home was by far the best thing we've done this year and such a respite in these dark times. It was the first time we felt truly normal, filled with happiness. Each day we were lifted us and reminded us of all we have to be grateful for in our lives and in our glorious world. We only wished our two children had been with us, and we hope to be back soon. Thank you, Barbara, for everything!

Everything was truly wonderful! Gorgeous views, incredibly clean and tastefully appointed. Away from the crowds and so serene. Great spot for a quiet, romantic getaway. Thank you, Barbara - you're a terrific host!

Last Min Summer Escape
We booked this property a week in advance (with many properties on the island already booked) for a last minute vacation before school started. We had no idea how perfect of a fit for our family of five it would be! This property is SO special with the private beach and the isolated wooded area of town (especially during COVID concerns). We were still able to be close to everything we needed in Vineyard Haven (by bike) or Oak Bluffs and Edgartown (by car). The home was charming and clean. The owner was welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend this property for a small family (only 1.5 baths), especially a family with younger kids bc the lagoon water is so calm!

Enjoy finding crabs!

Great views and location
Great location - very peaceful yet so close to town and amenities and good for generally getting around the island. The view of the lagoon from the home and decks is fabulous. Barbara was a wonderful host - super responsive and promptly met all of our needs. We had a lovely time and would definitely return!

What a sweet little house! I loved every minute of our stay. Barbara was attentive and brought fresh flowers when she came to check on things. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was fresh and new. Make sure to wake up early to enjoy the amazing sunrise over the water. A beautiful place to relax and work.
