Charming Lagoon Pond Cottage with Water View & Private Beach
Vineyard Haven Vacation Rental - ID 7366

We've vacationed on the Vineyard for each of the past 28 years and never returned to the same rental twice - that is, until we stayed here. We discovered this wonderful cottage in 2022, returned in 2023 and 2024! It's rustic, charming, and is stocked with everything we ever needed. We considered flying here direct with only carry-on luggage but the island's car rental costs are exorbitant. August has become a particularly popular time to visit and this property is a respite from the maddening crowds! Privacy, quiet, spectacular views of the water, our own little beach for morning meditations and a quick swim. The reviews of the home are all completely accurate. It's a gem.

Great place ! Quiet surroundings, having your own little compound looking out to the lagoon.
Walk down the front yard to your private beach. Short drive or bike or even walk to downtown
Vineyard Haven for dining, shopping etc. Checks all the boxes !

We were a family of 5 (2 adult kids plus one friend) and this cottage was perfect. It was in a relatively quieter part of Martha's Vineyard but an easy walk to the ferry, grocery store, center of town. Waking up to the view of the lagoon every morning was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The owner was also incredibly helpful with travel recommendations and advice (this was the first visit to MV for any of us).

This cottage does not disappoint. It is so quiet, private and peaceful. Great location. Outstanding water view from the living room and outdoor seating area. We saw some beautiful sunsets. We loved that we had a small private beach - the water there is shallow and warm. The cottage was very well stocked with lots of towels, beach towels, extra bed linens, paper products, etc. It was very clean and we had no issues the whole week. Although it does not have a/c, we never needed it - an amazing ocean breeze flows through the house.

The homeowner was great to work with - honest and thorough in his explanation of the property - helpful with suggestions of things to do the week we were there. We would absolutely recommend this property and would love to stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming Vineyard Haven cottage. The location on a quiet end of the lagoon and just 1 mile from town is absolutely ideal! Access to the lagoon is easy using a private staircase and this provides a perfect entrance to enjoy water sports such as paddle boarding, sailing, and kayaking.

The cottage is loaded with character and the large picture window offers incredible sunsets each evening. Thank you for a wonderful vacation on Martha's Vineyard. We will absolutely be returning!

We found this "slice of heaven" last year. Now that 2020 is here, we are booked for this coming September. This is a cozy, rustic and charming cottage-in-a-little-barn. The location to everything Martha's Vineyard is perfect. View of the lagoon pond so relaxing. If we owned a property here, this would be our first choice. House is prepared for guests with everything but ones clothing and fishing gear. Importantly, owners understand the need for good rest, which means awesome mattresses!!!! We are so ready for next stay here!!

We have stayed in this house for the past 6 years.
The home is on a lovely quiet street. We love that it is right on the water. We love that is just a mile into the town of Vineyard Haven. We enjoy sitting and staring at the water, swimming and kayaking, and walking and biking into town.
Michael is responsive to any and all of our needs.
We will be returning!

This peaceful cottage has provided our family an amazingly relaxing vacation for the past several years. The cottage itself is rustic but comfortable. We tie our boat to the mooring and swim with our small children at the little beach and look for critters in the lagoon. Vineyard Haven has become our favorite part of the island because of our memories of this little place and we look forward to going back!

We spent a relaxing and very enjoyable week at this cottage on the Vineyard Haven shoreline. We loved the views and access to the water- we kayaked and paddle boarded from the beach. Sunsets were fabulous. The cottage is very clean and had all that we needed. While more rustic than other places we have rented, we really loved our time at the cottage and would love to return.

We have been enjoying this special place for years and thought it couldn't get any better. But it has because now we are getting to share the charm and beauty of Hines Point with our grand kids. A truly wonderful place to create memories!

We had a great family vacation at this very clean, rustic cottage! It was extremely private, which is something we always look for in a rental. The neighborhood was truly convenient. We loved the fact that we could let our two oldest daughters (armed with many rules of course) bike into town. We also rented a kayak for the week which was wonderful and made for some memorable family time. Loved it so much, we are returning this summer......

A rustic cottage in an ideal setting over looking the lagoon, birds and much wildlife. Plenty of privacy and seclusion. Cottage was well stocked with all amenities. My young kids would've appreciated a bigger TV with full cable, but we were there to enjoy the sights not watch the Disney channel!

What a wonderful spot to get away from it all and be surrounded by the beauty of the Vineyard! Our family has been enjoying vacations here for over three decades, and this charming cottage seems to get better each year. We treasure the spacious lawn and meadow, beautiful views of the water and town beyond, sunsets from the patio, the woods and the privacy, our many feathered visitors, the stairs to the beach, wading in the lagoon and lazing in the sun, beachcombing, swimming, kayaking, fishing -- and much more. We love being here, and often during the cold New England winters we dream about our next visit!

This summer will be the 27th year I have vacationed with my family at this cottage. The setting is idyllic. We enjoy sunning on the expansive lawn and beachcombing along the lagoon shore. I have many wonderful Vineyard memories at this cottage.

We have been enjoying your cottage nearly every year for the past fifteen years and I must say that it has become a very special place for us. Everything one could desire is here, all you have to do is wake up each morning and let your spirit of adventure take you away. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place with us.

I would definitely recommend this house. My wife and I have been coming to the Vineyard for more than a decade now and this is the first time we've loved a place so much that we've wanted to return. We have two young children and the meadow and the little beach on the quiet lagoon were just perfect for us. It's not far from Vineyard Haven and the trip to Oak Bluffs makes a good bike ride. The house is very comfortable and has enough space that we were fine even on the rainy days. My personal favorite aspect to the house is the wonderful view. Any time of day in any weather, the view through the windows over the lagoon is just idyllic; perfect from a chair with coffee, tea, a beer or a glass of wine. Though my wife and I had already quietly made up our minds to return this year, my five year old daughter came up to me one morning near the end of November and asked, "Daddy, can we go back to the summer house we stayed at this year?" Needless to say, we're booked again for this summer - can't wait.

The house is right on the water. We brought our small boat and tied it up to their mooring right out front, just off their beach. Their little beach is wonderful, with calm, warm, shallow water for the kids. We enjoyed their lovely water view, early in the morning with lots of birds around and at sunset watching the sail boats in the lagoon with a glass of wine. The cottage was comfortable, with a cozy living/dining room with warm paneling of the original barn. The loft was great, with its two beds and skylight. The Hines Point neighborhood is lovely -- surrounded by water, it seems far from town, but still we could walk into town for an evening ice cream.
