Charming Cottage/Humble Abode
West Tisbury Vacation Rental - ID 30994

After a few decades of renting in Cape Cod, we decided to try a week in Martha's Vineyard - and we were blown away. The Humble Abode house is great, so comfortable and with plenty of room to spread out. Especially liked the upper deck off the master for a morning coffee or evening cocktail. The kitchen had everything we needed and the artwork is amazing as well. Pantry had extra supplies and laundry was easy, so it just made our stay a breeze.

The location is also perfect. Remote enough for peace and quiet but 15 minutes away from anywhere you'd want to go. Long Point Beach is definitely walkable, but we opted to drive. It's worth buying the Trustees membership for the discount if you plan on going every day, but we went to a few different beaches so we didn't mind paying for a day pass. The neighborhood is also great for walks and bike riding - and the bike path is right across the road if you want to go farther.

The homeowners were very responsive and kind. They were a pleasure to speak with.

I would definitely come back to Humble Abode and will be recommending it to friends.

We stayed at Humble Abode for our annual trip to the vineyard this summer and it did not disappoint! We have stayed at many homes in this neighborhood and I would certainly count this among some of the best. The house is well kept and nicely furnished with comfortable beds, couches and places to relax. The master retreat is a fabulous space to spread out and take a break. Robin was easy to contact if we needed her as we had a small issue with trash pick up. She quickly had her handyman resolve the issue for us. Would stay here again!

We had such a lovely time at Humble Abode and Robin could not have been more welcoming and accommodating! The house is just beautiful and so perfectly appointed to make you feel right at home. We especially loved the master bedroom terrace, which was fantastic for stargazing! This is exactly what we needed after a long Summer with no breaks. Thank you Robin!

We had a fabulous stay here! This Humble Abode is anything but! The house is very charming, quiet, peaceful, and private, a beautiful place to relax while on the island. My group was on the island working events all week, and it was wonderful to have this home base to come back to each night and wake up in and sip our coffee in the mornings. The owners were responsive, helpful and kind, and I would recommend this vacation rental highly!

We enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing week at this beautiful home. The house is spacious and clean and was the perfect home base for our many excursions around the island. It was very easy to get into Edgartown for shopping or dinner, as well as to other points of interest around the Vineyard. We enjoyed coffee and cocktails on the deck and grilled dinner a couple of evenings as well.

Robin was very responsive to all of our questions and offered helpful suggestions for what to see, eat and do during our stay. The Humble Abode truly felt like a home away from home for us! When we next return to the Vineyard we would love to once again stay at this amazing property.

Very comfortable and clean house, as described. Communication with Robin was seamless.
We love this kid-friendly neighborhood and have been coming back for years. Easy access to Long Point beach, which is by far our favorite beach.

Highly recommended!

Our week in Robin's house couldn't have been nicer. The house is warm, welcoming, and has everything you need, without ever feeling like you're staying in someone else's space. It feels like your own, or like it belongs to a good stylish friend who has made sure you are taken care of. It's perfectly clean, the kitchen had everything we might need, and the beds are comfortable. The location is perfect, you could happily spend a week without traveling more than a few minutes away - to the beach and pond at Long Point Wildlife Refuge and the gourmet markets at the other end of the road - but it also never feels like you're too far away from anything else on the island. Great stars at night, and great roads for little kids to ride their bikes on. We hope to return!

Nothing short of idyllic! I vacationed with my husband, 3 kids and mother. We had plenty of space appreciated the fresh, clean vineyard vibe and private location with access to gorgeous beaches. We were cautious because of Covid and cooked all of our meals at home- Robin has everything we needed and more.

Overall great experience! Some of the special touches include the out door shower, bikes and kites for little kids and Robin's island tips.

House is perfect for large families with loft style suite upstairs and two bedrooms on main level. Nicely decorated...true MV style. Surrounded by nature and can jog to Long Point Beach. Best part was gorgeous Lambert's Cove beach access! I will never stay anywhere but W. Tisbury again. Close to everything and avoids traffic jams (huge plus!) Robin was very responsive and checked in when needed.

We had a fantastic stay at Humble Abode. The hosts offer every convenience from air conditioning to an outside shower and grills. The house is impeccable and the decor is lovely and comfortable. Humble Abode is perfectly located mid island and close to gorgeous beaches. We would definitely come back again!

We had a great week. The house is perfect for us, very comfortable. We had coffee on the large main floor deck and cocktails on the smaller second floor deck. The master bath with its double shower is actually something we are thinking of doing in our own home. The house is in a great location, just a short drive to the main towns. The neighborhood is good for walking on paved streets or the Long Point trails. We hope the house is available for us next year!

I was hesitant to write this review because I'm kind of feeling like I don't want to give up the location of a hidden gem. This is an awesome property. It's centrally located so any place on the island is easily accessible but, it's off the beaten path enough to provide a lot of privacy. The house is actually nicer than the pictures indicate. Everything that you would need is provided for, and then some. Also, the property owners, Robin and Larry, could not have been more accommodating. They made us feel more like family than renters. We are hoping to rent it again next year.

Our family of 4 had an amazing stay. Robin, the owner, was very accommodating and responsive. Home is well appointed and had everything we needed. Loved the outside shower and wraparound deck!
