This house is ideal in too many ways to describe. From the outside in: great, quiet location off South Road (1.5 miles from West Tisbury Center, 3.5 mi. from Chilmark Store, 5 + miles from Menemsha); lovely grounds with flowers, butterflies and birds galore (the owners supplied enough bird seed to keep the feeders occupied throughout our visit); spacious deck with comfortable3 chairs/loungers and a nice combo of sun and shade; terrific kitchen with modern appliances, plenty of counter space, and great cooking tools, utensils, etc.; comfortable chairs around the kitchen table and in the LR; a well-stocked summer book library; plenty of storage space; excellent, firm beds; great outdoor shower; and so on. We arrived at the beginning of a hot spell but the ceiling fans and cross ventilation kept the house comfortable.
A flat, easy walk (1.5 mi.) takes you to a gated ocean beach and Lucy Vincent, the public Chilmark beach, is a short drive away.
The owners were great, easy to interact with, and gave us a few helpful suggestions that eased the transition. They spend time in the house and treat it as a "home," not a "vacation rental" - it is very well-cared for.
My wife and I have traveled and rented homes across the USA and in Europe. It's fair to say that this house ranks among the best vacation homes we have ever enjoyed.
