Private West Tisbury Retreat Near Long Point Beach
About this house rental
Abundant space and privacy await your family and friends in this centrally located West Tisbury home on Martha's Vineyard. The well maintained property is only minutes from The Long Point Wildlife Refuge Beach on the south side of the island. In addition, the home's central island location provides the perfect opportunity to explore all of Martha's Vineyard with a short drive or bike ride along the island's paths that cross nearby. This 2300 square foot home sits at the end of a long driveway on 2.7 acres. Visitors are met with a well landscaped circle drive and welcoming front porch complete with a swing and rocking chairs. In addition to the circle drive, an attached two car garage and parking area provide plenty of space for storage and family activities. The most exciting surprise will be the 9000 square foot lawn that wraps around the rear and side of the home. This space is perfect for family games, sports, or just absorbing copious sunshine. The full back deck and outdoor shower also provide the opportunity to regroup and relax after a day at the beach. The back deck is complete with a gas grill, lobster pot, and dining table. The home is situated far back from the road providing an ample buffer for children to play without concern over people or traffic. The home's interior is built and designed with large families in mind. The first floor consists of a large master bedroom complete with a king bed, walk-in closet (large enough to sleep your baby or toddler in a pack and play provided) and separate patio out the french doors. The master's on suite bathroom contains a walk-in shower and large jacuzzi bathtub. Another first floor bedroom with a queen bed awaits additional guests down the hall alongside a half bath and separate laundry room. Your family and friends will enjoy the first floor common area which consists of a spacious kitchen that opens up to a bar area and large dining table that can accommodate 6-8 people for meals or nightly games and puzzles. The kitchen is complete with all modern amenities. A living room seating area and cable TV offer the option of winding down with a movie or one of the many books you can borrow from the home's book cabinet. With four young children of their own, the homeowners have designed the 2nd floor as a retreat for kids and adults alike. The newly carpeted stairs open up immediately to a reading nook and fold out sleeper sofa. The long hallway leads past a full bathroom, bedroom with two twin beds, and a 2nd bedroom with a king bed. At the end of the hallway is a large play room with TV and play area complete with two double beds. The home is an 8 minute drive down gravel roads to the 600 acre Long Point Wildlife Refuge Beach. This is a wonderfully maintained natural habitat that provides access to both a seaside beach and quiet pond for swimmers. In addition to Long Point Beach, guests will be a short drive to other beaches including South Beach and Lambert's Cove. The home is centrally located to make travel to any point on the island relatively short. This includes 10-15 minute drives to Edgartown, Menemsha, Aquinnah, Oak Bluffs, and Vineyard Haven. In addition to the privacy at home, you can enjoy the many wonderful local restaurants on the island. We've included our favorites in a binder you will find on the kitchen counter.

We just returned from our stay at the Merry Martha, which was absolutely fabulous. The house had everything we could possibly need while on the Vineyard. The rooms were clean and lovely, the sheets were comfortable, and the location was central to all of our favorite activities.
The hosts were always quick to respond to our questions. Everything went perfectly and the whole family enjoyed it! I can't recommend this property more highly.

Everything was wonderful about our stay! Meredith, our host provided details in advance that were helpful and checked in on us during our stay to answer any questions we may have had to insure we made the most of our visit to MV. Thank you Meredith!!!

Beautiful house in a quiet location but near all activities
This is a wonderful house - spacious, clean, charming, well appointed kitchen, lots of seating. The yard is particularly great for children. The location is great - quiet and private though a short drive to lovely beaches, a wildlife preserve, fish markets and Edgartown. We had a wonderful stay and the owners are excellent communicators, efficient, helpful and very friendly. I highly recommend this property.

This property far out matches any other property on MV. The fastidious attention to detail, the fully appointed kitchen and splendor of a well kept property is unparalleled. The owners, Meredith and Aaron, could not have been more accommodating for our large family’s week long vacation stay. They truly are the best! We look forward to returning to this slice of heaven!

Mr. & Mrs. Dunn property is by far the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed in. Not only is it meticulously clean and well maintained, it is artfully designed and decorated. The kitchen is generously equipped with pots, pans, dishes, utensils, high-end appliances, and seasonings, etc. Meredith, has thought of everything for her guests' comfort and convenience as you would know the house was decorated/equipped with love and care. All the beds were comfortable and feature lovely fresh linens. Laundry facilities are available on site as well as bikes and everything you would need for outdoor entertainment. The home is conveniently located in a charming and quiet neighborhood, near the beach and access to other towns nearby such as Oak Bluffs, Edgartown and more where the shops and attractions are a MUST see.
Meredith, communicated with us before and during our stay to make sure we had everything we need. I must share our thoughtful welcome gift and greeting card was a beautiful touch.
Our only regret is that we did not book the home long enough. A four-day three-night stay was a tease, yet a beautiful dream!! We did not want to return home back to the reality that awaits!
We are definitely planning to stay here again!
Signed with Blessings, Love and Good Fortune 😊

Perfect "socially distanced" family reunion vacation spot
This house was just perfect in every way! It is in a safe/tucked away location, yet it is close and easy to get to the beaches and more touristy areas. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for meals at home daily. The backyard is perfect for running around & playing, cookouts, and adult socializing on the deck once the kids went to bed. Since it is on a private street with a large driveway, we didn't have to worry about the littles running in the road. We were also able to utilize bicycles from the garage - even one with a cart for small children. They loved bike rides down the dirt road to look for turkeys! The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and they answered all questions within minutes. Cannot say enough good things... we will definitely use this space again!

We had a magical week in Martha's Vineyard--the island always delivers, but in the year of canceled plans, no time with friends, and continued shifting conditions, it was the perfect getaway. Meredith & family have a beautiful home--well appointed, a great location, and a total killer yard. We had daily beach days followed by lovely relaxed evenings on the deck. We were two families, and the house was excellent to give us together time and space to take a minute. We can't wait to go back!

We have visited MV several times each year and this is our favorite rental home by far! Plenty of space for family and friends. Very comfortable beds! Private area. Highly recommend and we will stay here again. Thank you Meredith for a great weekend getaway where we enjoyed home away from home. 😀

A home away from home
We were able to thoroughly enjoy our stay because of the comfort of the home. The layout and design of the home and yard was conducive to our group of 10. The home is well cared for and the owners were available and accommodating throughout our stay.

Private, spacious and welcoming
We were instantly impressed with this house. It is very private yet in a great location. We were easily able to get to beaches and shopping. The house itself was spacious and very clean. We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the evenings and relaxing. We would definitely recommend this house to others!

Can't wait to return!
The house was spacious, the yard impeccable, location convenient and weather absolutely perfect. The house had everything you could possibly need for your MV vacation. We have been coming to the island for many years and the house we rented for 15 years is now permanently occupied by the owners so we've been looking for a new island home to call our own for a week every summer. We definitely found it here and cannot wait to come back next year and every year!

Nice, private home with lots of space
My family planned to visit for a wedding on Martha's Vineyard. Unfortunately, our visit was marred by Hurricane Jose, which parked off MV for 2 days, cancelling the ferries and preventing a lot of my family from making the trip. So the weather was bad and we were unable to take advantage of the huge backyard, nice deck, bike trails, beaches, etc. Meredith was very proactive in dealing with all the issues she could control -- she had all the outdoor furniture moved to safety before we arrived and she checked in regularly to make sure I had arrived and that everyone was safe. While we did not need to call on her caretaker for help, it was comforting to know that someone was available if necessary.
So my trip was not all that it could have been; however, the house and its owner were not the problem! I would not hesitate to book again, and I am sure all 8 members of my family would enjoy the property, assuming they didn't visit during a hurricane. Note to others: think twice about scheduling your wedding on an island during hurricane season....

Perfect home
Our family spent two weeks in this lovely home. We have a 15 and 25 y/o daughters. We've been coming to MV for about 10 years and it's the best so far. There is a lot of space and we had friends and family visit off and on - at one point we had 4 cars and the large driveway/parking meant it was no hassle. The two king beds make things very easy for adults and every room/area seems to have another bed. The large dining table and easy access to the front and back porches made our family never want to leave. It's very easy to be together, but have your own space. The kitchen is well-appointed, there's a big laundry room and the outdoor shower is great (but like most of MV, not big city water pressure). Being in West Tisbury allows sticker access to Lambert's Cove (favorite) and being so close to Long Beach meant we didn't have to wake up early to get a parking spot there. The location is central to all parts of the island and if you like to do Edgartown, go up island and visit Vineyard Haven, each will only take about 15 min. You can access the bike/walking path that runs along Edgartown Road by walking a block or two. Did I mention air conditioning? I didn't think we'd want/need it, but it makes things so much easier. The landlords are extremely helpful and accommodating - really went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable.

Private Oasis Close to It All
We stayed at this house for a long weekend with our three kids and another family. It has plenty of space for two families and more, and the layout of the bedrooms was perfect for each family to have their own space. The yard is very private, the front porch swing and rocking chairs were a peaceful place to relax with a glass of wine and the backyard is perfect for a cookout. In the summer, the access to Long Point beach would be perfect and the location is also a quick drive over to Edgartown or Chilmark depending on which direction you want to go. Thank you for a lovely stay, we hope to return soon!

What a lovely stay my husband and I enjoyed with c
What a lovely stay my husband and I enjoyed with close friends. We love the Vineyard, but had never visited in the fall. It was just beautiful! The house has several quiet areas to retreat and curl up with a good book. We loved spending time on the deck and appreciated the large back yard. Luckily our 2 young grandchildren visited us a couple days while we were on the island and went crazy over the kids books and games. They didn't want to leave!
The homeowners were most helpful in making sure we had everything lined up for our trip. We loved catching the glorious sunset at Menemsha and delicious meals at restaurants recommended. The house sits at a very central location on the south shore so we were able to take many afternoon trips around the island every day. What a nice bonus having the bike path just 5 minutes from the house! We are thankful we found this home to rent and hope to return in the near future! Thank you, Meredith!
