(BR1 Queen, BR2 Queen, BR3 (2) bunk beds) - Sleeps 8 (+2 in Studio) - The Studio, 1 Bedroom, no bath (BR4 - Queen) - Sleeps 2 - Access to Lucy Vincent Beach and Squibnocket Beaches - Access to Menemsha Pond (via Cove Rd, deeded access) - WiFi / Internet - Available throughout the house - Chef's kitchen with 5 burner stove (all new appliances) - Dishwasher, Drawer Microwave, Oven; BBQ on deck - Coffee Maker & Kreurig - Direct TV / Flat Panel TV - Sonus - Audio System - Amazing outside shower FAQ - Privacy in a Glass House - Although the house is 100% glass, 100% privacy can be achieved as all the walls have curtains which can be closed for complete privacy. We typically recommend having the curtains open to enjoy the floor to ceiling views of the natural surroundings, and achieve the intended feeling of the living space's integration into the nature surroundings, but all rooms (bathrooms, bedrooms, etc) can be 100% private as you would need and expect.

We so enjoyed our week at the Glasshouse! The open-air layout was unique and gave the wonderful feeling of practically living outdoors, which was wonderful on breezy days and cool nights and harder on full-sun days and humid nights, though the house is well-supplied with fans. We felt like we were living in a treehouse, in the best way. Outdoor shower was a treat, house well-equipped with a modern, well-appointed kitchen. Nice linens, bathrobes, towels.... everything you need. (Roku TV was an added bonus, so we could watch Wimbledon with our Fubo!) Joe was a communicative and friendly host, making our stay relaxing as can be.

It might be difficult to explain to someone who has not had a prior "glass house" experience, but trust me, this is truly something which must be experienced, first hand. From the real, obvious and purposeful integrations with the surrounding space and environment, to the dramatic beauty one experiences on a continual basis, to the very peaceful and serene location, it's truly a one-of-a-kind experience - as well as one that I fully endorse and recommend, hands down!

My family had a lovely stay at the glass house. We had six adults and one infant and with the new guest house on the property, we had plenty of space. The house itself is a masterpiece and the kitchen had everything we needed to make some delicious home cooked meals with fresh seafood from Larsens fish market. We all loved the outdoor shower as well. Joe was very helpful and communicative leading up to our stay. Thank you Joe !

This house is amazing. It mixes architectural history, a modern kitchen, and nature in a lovely way. It is a bit "rustic" - in so far that the only traditional shower is outside, and you must go into the courtyard to transition between rooms, but this really made the experience and what's better than taking a nice breath of fall weather as soon as you wake up. The check in process was easy. The grounds were lovely. And I look forward to staying here again. The wood stove was perfect and easy to use, and the space heaters were a helpful amenity.

We booked the glasshouse because we were intrigued. Staying there satisfied our curiosity and afforded us a unique experience. The house is all glass with all off the rooms off the interior courtyard. There are many sliding doors to open and close and curtains to slide across. The kitchen is very well and eclectedly equipped. Joe is very responsive and his caretaker is there when you need him. The setting is beautiful.
