Chilmark Guest House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Tucked away in a private glen on three secluded acres, this light-filled home in Chilmark is Martha's Vineyard at its most peaceful. It's the perfect escape for beach-goers, as it sits within minutes of Menemsha (three miles), Lucy Vincent Beach (four miles), and Squibnocket Beach (five miles). Beach passes are easily accessed.

The house enjoys a beautiful, natural setting, with thickets of woods surrounding the grassy lawn. On summer mornings, ride your bikes or walk less than two miles to the tranquil expanse of Great Rock Bight Preserve. Upon your return, linger outside on the deck and sip a steaming cup of coffee in a rocking chair.

It's a joy to come home after a day at the beach, as you light the gas grill, set the outdoor table for a sunset dinner, and watch the kids release any lingering energy on the outdoor play structure. Back inside, lofty ceilings, exposed cross beams, and large panes of glass bring in an abundance of light and nature. As a result, you'll feel surrounded by the island's beauty as you cook in the kitchen, play board games at the table, and stream movies in the living room.

Both bedrooms open to the deck, one of which is a charming children's room with bunks and a selection of toys and books. A private washer/dryer and complimentary WiFi are provided for your comfort and convenience as well.

Great, quiet, pup friendly house
Had a lovely stay for a week in September with our dog! House is clean, well stocked and in a very private location. The house is perfect for a couple or small family. We could not have asked for a better stay! Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay in Chilmark
We had such a lovely time staying at this house. It was absolutely immaculate inside and appointed with everything we could need and more. The house is light and airy inside, which helped when we had a few days of rain. The location is secluded in the woods (be careful, we did find ticks on us) but a short drive away from the beaches. We will definitely be back

Could have been nice if it had hot water
This is a nice small place. The neighbor yelled at me for walking my dog on the road that you are told to drive in on. There was NO hot water and requests to fix it were met with lots and lots of text messages from vacasa who after 8 hours on day 2 sent a local vacasa person (not a plumber or electrician or hvac person) to the property who accessed the locked cellar and the water heater to learn that it was unplugged. After plugging it in and checking the pilot he was very polite but left. I was told it would take an hour but it was never restored and there was no way to check or get someone to fix. It also begs two questions- did you not clean with hot water? And how would the dishes have gotten clean? Gross. And why would it be unplugged? The vineyard in early June with no hot water is rough when you go to fish in a fishing tournament. Or to the beach. Or want to be clean. The house was unlocked when I arrived and the slider door was wide open and so a bird had taken up residence and we know what birds do… so that was unsafe and also gross. I spent some time getting the bird to leave. Over all I didn’t spend my time the way I had planned. Vacasa now dominates the management market on the vineyard. After having rented homes there for 20 years it is now very challenging to find one not managed by this company that clearly has nice people on island trying to manage but they can’t actually get it done. Requests for a refund have been met with more text messages no action.

Wonderful stay!
Close to Menemsha, and not too far from the Lucy Vincent and Squibnocket beaches. Nice yard and deck with privacy. North Tabor Farm was just down the street where we found great food to stock our kitchen. Kids loved their room and the play structure. We had a great family vacation and would definitely return.

So comfortable, great location.
This was an amazing house to stay in. The kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom has no issues, the kids' bedroom has a few toys, our bedroom had a huge comfortable bed, and the living area offers a fantastic view. The BBQ is working well—it is brand new. The swing and slide outside were a great hit. I wish to come again. The location worked perfectly for us.
