Molly’s house reminded me of some of my favorite vacation houses I stayed in as a kid. The house feels bigger than it appears in photos because of the layout and many different spots to sit and relax in. A rarity on Martha’s Vineyard - the house smells good, has beautiful old hardwood floors, and the decor is modern, personal, and eclectic - with many cute/cool vintage pieces and elements. It was cool and comfy in the day time, even without AC, and the yard offered nice places to sit or have dinner. Molly & her partner are welcoming, accommodating, and thoughtful hosts - but keep to themselves during the stay. One related note on that: the photos do make it seem like the house is by itself, surrounded by private yard space, whereas in reality it’s pretty close to 2 other houses. Despite that fact, you don’t feel encroached on by the hosts or neighbors, especially if you’re used to living in more densely populated areas. But, be mindful it wouldn’t be a great fit if you’re looking for more personal outdoor space/privacy and want the freedom to play loud music, have loud conversations, let loose outdoors, etc. Overall, a lovely house and super convenient to great local spots: 7 mins to Lambert’s Cove beach.

We had a very pleasant stay at this up-island home. It is eclectically furnished with many antiques and lots of gorgeous art. There are several inviting lounging spaces inside and out. The kitchen is very tiny but well appointed. No dishwasher and a tiny fridge in the kitchen, but a larger one on the porch. We were grateful for the outdoor shower after beach runs. The location is away from the touristy parts of the island, but within minutes from beautiful beaches and hiking trails. There is a great little posh market minutes away. Molly was easy to communicate with. She lives next door to the cottage, but we didn't need to reach out.

Quaint home in a private area. We felt right at home. Although the kitchen is rather small, the outside grill is in excellent condition. The stereo(set on MVY) and many speakers completed the ambience.

This is our second summer visiting at this property and it felt like coming home. Perfect amount of space for myself, husband and our 2 boys. We love the mix of modern amenities (AC for one! ) and the historic, simple charm of this house. The location is set back, so relaxing and surrounded by nature and birds galore. Molly & Steve have been wonderful hosts! Communicative, friendly and accommodating. We enjoy being in centrally located west tisbury as you can easily venture to menemsha and aquinnah or go to vineyard haven and oak bluffs.
We will certainly return in the future!

Great Time on the Island
My wife and I and her parents stayed for a 5 nights at this property in mid July. House was great!! Very comfortable queen bed upstairs and a small bathroom us there as well. Washing machine in bathroom and dryer is located a few steps away near the barn where the hosts stay. The downstairs bedroom had 2 twin beds and were comfortable. The downstairs bathroom had a great shower with great water pressure and was good and hot!
The kitchen was well equipped and very quaint! We made dinner 3 of the 5 nights (lobster, spaghetti, and stuffed clams and bagel sandwiches) and had all the equipment we needed! Different types of coffee makers as well. We used the percolator. Nice tv room and a great sitting room with a couch and two chairs near the dining room. A small fridge in the kitchen and a larger one on the enclosed back porch next to dining room.
Kind of in the middle of the island so there was a 20 minute drive to each end of the island. We used south beach, which is free and loved it there. We used their beach chairs and they also had boogie boards and a beach umbrella. Loved our time there in the very nice and quaint home!!

My husband and I were very appreciative of the loan of Molly’s house – a lovely antique, in a quiet setting, lightly renovated and only modernized as much as necessary: ie a comfortable indoor shower room, hand crafted stairs to a second floor, plenty of lighting. Furnished throughout with nice rugs and old and antique furnishings.
Actually, I think we both loved it – particularly outdoor space to read under a spacious sheltering shad tree was a treat & one of the nicest, flower draped, outside showers I have ever had the pleasure of. We experienced comfortable temperatures without ever having to turn to heat or ac – though had we needed air conditioning – it was reassuring to see the large array of solar panels behind the house. House is well set up with den and living rooms: in the evenings – people can do different projects in two separate living areas. Think it is a more comfortable space for a couple or a single person, though there is bed space enough for four. May those lucky enough to stay there appreciate this charming just-the-right-size house.

Charming Perfection
One of our best experiences ever; this little house is full of eclectic charm yet with all of the
modern conveniences that one could ask for. The location was prime, as it lies in a quiet forested area not far from either end of the island. Great experience!

Lovely
Very homey and comfortable. Owners were reached very easily and were very helpful. We enjoyed the yard space, and the outdoor shower to get rid of sand after the beach. The beach was gorgeous and a quick drive from this location.

Relaxing getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable and charming. The nearest beach and town were within a 10 minute drive. We travelled with our 22 year old daughter and her boyfriend and there was enough privacy and space for all of us. The owner was friendly and readily available. We highly recommend this house if your looking for a getaway.

This spot was absolutely perfect for our little group of 4 plus a baby! The house is so cute and quaint plus the location is great, as it is very central on the island. We had a wonderful time here and would be grateful for the chance to stay here again sometime!

Very cute and cozy space
It was very nice to stay there over the July 4th weekend. The house is very cute and retro and well maintained: the kitchen inspired us to cook more! We enjoyed the bath tub upstairs as well as the outdoor showering:) A quiet neighborhood, a few min drive to Lambert Cove beach, very easy to communicate with the friendly owners, Molly and Steve. We would come back again.

Charming and cozy
100% enjoyable stay in this well equipped cottage. Owners are very responsive and helpful. Setting is peaceful, and convenient to VH while well off the main road. We felt welcomed and very much at home during our four night stay. I would definitely return to this property for a future (maybe longer) stay.

Wonderful, charming home!
I had a wonderful stay at this home in MV and can't wait to come back in August! Molly was incredibly communicative and helpful and the house was cozy, charming, and stocked with much more than I needed. It was also a bonus to have the modern conveniences of AC, wifi, and a washer/dryer. Highly recommend and can't wait to be back!

Perfect Location / Beautiful Home
My wife and I were looking for peace and quiet for a week. We found it here, The place was clean and well kept, Molly and Steven were excellent hosts. They were always available if you needed them. It was a hot week and the AC worked perfectly. They have put a lot of care and taste into the reconstruction of this lovely home. Private kitchen, Two baths and two bedrooms, two floors, perfect Island location. The house is located about in the middle of the island so, all destinations on the island were easy to get to. No traffic or noise yet nightlife was minutes away. We would definitely stay here again. I would highly recommend this vacation home.
