2 Bedroom House in Vineyard Haven, West Tisbury

Built in 1846 and meticulously renovated in 2009, this historic property – once the oldest Methodist Church on Martha’s Vineyard – is now a stunning vacation home, capturing the ambiance of the Romantic Era through the elegance of exceptional contemporary design.
Set on ¾ of an acre on Lambert’s Cove Road and comprising 2,714 square feet of open-plan living space, the property provides accommodation for up to six people and includes two residential buildings, offering an ideal balance of community and privacy among guests.
The Parsonage is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom house with full kitchen. French doors open out from the living & dining areas onto a rustic granite patio, complete with outdoor lounge seating, barbeque grill, and fire pit.
The Church is a master suite with king-sized bed, kitchenette, and full bath with soaking tub and shower. Historic details have been preserved throughout, including the pressed tin ceiling, wide plank wood floors, and original lighting fixtures. Even the bell in the tower can be rung! (Its tone is C#.)
The Church & Parsonage share an outdoor shower.
Each building has its own wood-burning stove (in addition to radiant heat and air conditioning).
Washer & drier are located in the basement of the Parsonage.
Nestled against the woods in pastoral West Tisbury, a ten-minute drive in either direction will take you into town. To the east: Vineyard Haven – home of the iconic Black Dog Tavern, Martha’s Vineyard Film Center, Cronig’s Market, and Bunch of Grapes Bookstore, as well as the island’s only year-round ferry terminal. To the West: West Tisbury town center – site of the treasured Alley’s General Store, West Tisbury Library, and Grange Hall, where during the season you’ll find the West Tisbury Farmer’s Market and the Vineyard Artisans Festival.
The property is walking-distance to Lambert’s Cove Beach, Ice House Pond, and Uncle Seth's Pond, and is conveniently located to numerous Land Bank and Trustees of Reservations properties, as well as to the gem-of-a-find Polly Hill Arboretum and (in August) the annual Agricultural Fair!

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Martha’s Vineyard. The church and parsonage property is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed grilling and the luxurious soaking tub. My only complaint is that the bed in the church is a little uncomfortable, seems like the mattress maybe needs replacing. But everything else about the property was perfect.

Summary: This property is so well done... I can't imagine what it took to turn a church and the associated parsonage into a luxurious, chic mini compound. The layout of the parsonage is perfect, well appointed, with everything you could want. The finishes are and fixtures are top of the line. Impeccably clean. Just wonderful. The church took my breath away. The listing photos are great but don't convey the impressive volume of space. The unique repurposed oil chandelier, amazing sound system, comfortable TV area, bathroom (with water pressure we could only dream about in the city!) right out of Architectural Digest, and more fluffy towels than anyone could possibly use, and so much more!! We loved this place. Thank you

Summary: We and extended family stayed at the Church & Parsonage for a week and we couldn't have been happier. Both properties are beautifully and uniquely decorated, everything was impeccably clean and in working order, and there were so many thoughtful touches (the Aesop arrival boxes, well equipped kitchens, coffee in the Church, comfortable beach chairs, beach wagons). The owner was very friendly and responsive and so was the property manager, who helped us organize a midweek clean between guests and helped with ferry logistics. The property is located a short walk from the beautiful Lambert's Cove beach (on a somewhat busy and narrow road so be careful walking) and near many island attractions and restaurants. Thank you for an awesome week and I hope we can come back again.

Summary: The Church and Parsonage did not disappoint! Truly a perfect - centrally located property - :10 minute walk to a pristine beach at Lamberts Cove - short drive to your choice of town centers... Oak Bluff, VH or Edgartown. Propertly provides a unique and terrific layout and is furnished tastefully and comfortably. Owner and team made the booking and process seamless and were available when needed - but it's such perfection and so well equipped - we did not need to contact them once we were settled. DEFINATELY would book again!

Summary: We had an incredible time at Sarah and David’s exquisite home. The property, design, layout and decor were all exceptional. Even though it was rainy weather we had a magical time because their home is so special. We can’t say enough good things and will be remembering the trip fondly with hopes to return!
