Aquinnah House | Magical House in the Trees with Water View - Secluded Area

3 Bedroom House in Aquinnah

Our home is a simple, quaint beach house on a quiet dirt road. We are the first house on the right so no long, bumpy dirt road to navigate. Windows everywhere looking over the treetops. Sun filled great room with open kitchen, living room, and dining area. Kitchen features a Bertazonni stove where the gourmet cook can continue chatting with the guests or family while whipping up dinner. Living room/ dining room areas flow in spacious style perfect for family hanging out or entertaining guests. Screened porch extends the main floor to allow meals or lounging in the shade - bug free!
Two upstairs bedrooms connect to a sunny deck with views of the Vineyard Sound when leaves are sparse. Private sunbathing way above the treetops. Primary bedroom has it's own small deck for private moments in the sun and an attached master bath. Outdoor shower with changing area plus shower. Large fenced yard with a fire pit ready and waiting for Smores at night.
We are not pet friendly in general but we are open to discussing some exceptions for extremely conscientious dog owners. Please talk with us about this.
This Sandcastle is just off Lighthouse Road - quiet and private, yet just minutes away from three beautiful beaches, the Gay Head Cliffs with shops and food stands, nationally known Orange Peel Bakery (Wednesday night make-your-own pizza nights are popular with islanders and summer folks alike). Quick access to Philbin Ocean Beach: one of the most beautiful ocean beaches on the island. Town permit will allow parking at all Aquinnah beaches.
Or bike down to Lobsterville pond for a kayak or sailing lesson, and then take your bike across the tiny bike ferry to Menemsha, the Vineyard's one of a kind fishing village. Quaintness on steroids. Eat fried clams at The Galley, or buy a hot lobster-to-go at The Homeport and feast on the beach.
The Sandcastle is a magical retreat but has easy access to the many delights of up-island living. Fifteen minute drive will take you to Chilmark's General Store (groceries, the best pizza on the island, a front porch full of rockers that are filled from 6AM to dusk with folks eating, reading, chatting, and people-watching.) In Chilmark you can also find the gorgeous Chilmark Library, the Community Center for kids and family events, with basketball and tennis courts available to the public. The Chilmark Tavern is a top island restaurant but with a relaxed atmosphere. BYOB - Chilmark is dry.
Aquinnah is 30 minutes away from the bustle and traffic of down island towns - but still close enough to head in for fine dining, movies, shopping and exploration of other island beaches.
WIFI IS AVAILABLE. (Note: There is no TV. But great wifi for watching stuff on your laptops!)
The house also has a state-of-the-art Bluetooth speaker called a Phantom. (See www.en.deviolet.com/phantom/discover). Link your device to the Phantom and play your music (Pandora, Spotify, your itune selections) with an amazing sound. (Just please don't blast out the neighbors! The Phantom can get LOUD - with no distortion.)
The house is stocked with baby-toddler equipment - a travel crib, high chair, toddler booster seat to strap onto a chair at the dining table, baby gate to block the stairs, and toddler plates, cups and utensils. Also a couple of toy wagons and large push trucks stored in the basement.
Come have a vacation you will remember. Fall in love with a house as we did. Sandcastle is a really special spot.

Summary: Lisa’s home truly is unique. Located in a very beautiful part of the island. It’s far from the ferry (and the crowds :)) so it would be best to stay here if you have a car on island. Ubering could be difficult and expensive. The privacy and fenced in back yard are unbeatable. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, close to gay head and lobsterville beaches. We had such an amazing stay!!

Summary: Great house, great area. Rent bikes for easier beach access and access to the absolute gem that is the menemsha bike ferry. Easy bike access to the lighthouse shops, menemsha and beaches. You can walk too but beaches are a longer walk if bringing a lot of stuff. House main living area is a nice room for eating together. Sleeping rooms are comfortable and clean. Upstairs decks provide excellent views especially during sunset. A bit buggy since it was so wet and humid when we were there. No AC but a nice breeze blows through the windows so even for someone who prefers sleeping in ice cold environment, fans and windows open did the trick.

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay. It was the perfect home base for our family vacation with our young daughters. The house was beautiful and private. Access to the nearby town beaches was included which was amazing because the beaches weren’t crowded at all and the kids had a blast. We hope to come back soon!

Summary: We were there for a family wedding. House was relaxed and plenty of different spaces (it was raining and windy) when we were inside. Loved the kitchen and large table to gather around. Beautiful screened in porch. Good mattresses on all the beds. Everything worked . Loved using the outdoor shower, though the others went for the regular type.

Summary: We always enjoy staying at Lisa’s peaceful home up island with the perfect location for biking, walking to either the lighthouse, Lobsterville beach, Red Beach or West Basin. We also enjoy the views from rooftop deck.

Summary: This was maybe our 5th stay here and just as relaxing as always. I love the early sunrise, birds, and the overall treehouse vibe you get here! It’s so nice being able to walk the dog down to swim early at Lobsterville Beach, or ride bikes to Philbin or West Basin then take a dip at Red Beach. Don’t forget to visit Chilmark Flea Market and the Farmers Markets!

Summary: This is the perfect place for a peaceful, relaxing vacation! The main floor is nestled in the tress with plenty of windows. The upper floor is light and airy with views over the treetops and out to Vineyard Sound! Plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy and very comfortable inside. Our dog was especially happy to be able to join us. Would definitely return to this delightful retreat!

Summary: Perfect place for our family of four. The house is so we’ll stocked for a stay in Aquinnah. Kid’s toys, beach toys, beach chairs. Great location. Quick access to Lobsterville, west Basin with kayaks! and the lovely Philbin. The screened in porch was a delight. Especially during the couple of t-storms that rolled through. Awesome place.
