About this property

Walk to the beach!
Featuring a wraparound porch, ocean views from every room, outdoor (and indoor) shower, grill, and outdoor dining space.

**Please Note: Sheets and towels are not provided.**

This comfortable two bedroom condo is very close to the GayHead Lighthouse and only slightly further to its local shops, which include a small grocery store, souvenir places, snacks, coffee shop, and restaurant. Walk to the most beautiful beach on Martha's Vineyard — 11 minutes door to ocean — or bike to secluded Lobsterville Beach. Take the bike ferry to Menemsha, where you will find fresh fish markets, more locally owned shops, kayaking, restaurants, and world-famous (for real) sunsets.

Enjoy easy access by car or bus to all the lovely small towns Martha's Vineyard is known for, and then come back to the loveliest of all for a quiet evening at your home away from home.

Truly the place for those who love the beach, treasure quiet time, and want to experience all the joy Martha’s Vineyard offers without the hustle or hassle (no crowds, no traffic) of down island towns.

We offer a simple place, hopefully lovely in your eyes. Not fancy but we have everything.

Cozy and comfortable cortage

Our stay was wonderful. The cottage was just perfect for two. We loved the outdoor shower and never used the inside one, even in the wind and rain. The cottage is very well equipped with lots of pretty dishes and silverware, as well as just about anything you would need for cooking. We will be back! .

Sweet little condo, lovely location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and enjoyed the peacefulness of being up-island. It was more of a walk to the beach than we expected, but well worth the walk when we got there. The views from this area are breathtaking. It was a wonderful stay!

Very convenient for addition to larger family rental.

Rent on Lighthouse Road and needed additional space for a few nights, and proximity was primary consideration. Space worked well, as was quiet and close to beaches too and very convenient as an addition to house rented nearby. As advertised, and very well equipped.

Perfect View

We loved our stay. The location was beautiful and very private. We loved being able to see Gay Head Lighthouse so well. The walk to the lighthouse and Moshup beach were very sort. We were also within close walking distance of a bus stop which made traveling around the island very convenient. The property owner was quick to respond to any questions we had.

Lovely, quiet, peaceful spot!

My husband, son (9years old) and I had a lovely time at this well-equiped, clean, cozy condo. The description is accurate and it is fully equipped with everything you need. Aquinnah is so special and you can feel the peacefulness of this area and the people. It is a drive (35 mins) to main restaurants in Edgartown and Oak Bluffs but we made the trip a few times for dinners out and shopping. Menemsha and Chilmark are both nice areas closer by where we explored as well. The beaches are beautiful and within walking distance. We highly recommend this lovely place. We hope to return again!

Nice views from both front and back windows. Has everything you need (except linens). Joan is a very responsive host. Ideal location for those who enjoy the quiet end of MV. Walking distance to the overlooks and Aquinnah beach. Ideal for 3 adults or couple with 2 kids.

clean with beautiful views

Away from the busy-ness of Edgartown/Oak Bluffs, this was an awesome getaway. Gorgeous views, easy access to lighthouse and beach made for a wonderful stay. Beach wasn’t crowded at all. Not a criticism, but I’d emphasize for future guests is the stores close by are pretty pricey and small/close early; half hour drive to full grocery, so pays to go when you get off the ferry on the way to the property. Remote/beautiful location otherwise a perk!

Summer vacation 2023

We enjoyed staying at this nice condominium. It was very clean very bright and airy, very well supplied inside and out with all the necessary supplies in the kitchen that you would need to enjoy your stay. It was also very well decorated, quiet and clean. Overall we had a very pleasant week and we would stay there again Joan the owner was very pleasent and responsive to all questions. There are distant ocean views from the front and back decks. I recommend vacationing at this condo. Happy summer!

Absolutely amazing time with our Family

This property is exactly as it’s advertised! Joan, the property manager could not be more incredible to work with! She went above and beyond answering questions for us and giving us recommendations to beaches, food places, things to do etc… truly such a delight to work with! It’s a cute homey, cozy condo about 100 feet from cute little stores with absolutely breathtaking views of the cliffs/lighthouse. A beautiful part of the island we had not visited.. much quieter then downtown- we loved it! Joan had everything we needed! Our kids want to rerun every summer! We had such a nice time together! Thank you Joan.

Beautiful location in Aquinnah

Stayed here for a long weekend and we loved its proximity to the Aquinnah Cliffs Overlook where we watched a beautiful sunset over the Atlantic. It was less than a 10 minute walk to the Overlook and a 15 minute walk to Moshup Beach. However, this location is a 40 minute drive each way to Edgartown or Oak Bluffs. You will need a car if you stay in this location. With regards to the unit itself, it's a great size for 3 people. The room with a twin bed and trundle is quite small, probably tight for 2 adults but perfect for kids. The kitchen is well equipped. If you like watching TV, the one they have in the living room is very small and pretty old without streaming capability. The biggest negative for us is the fact that linens and towels are not provided. You will have to pack your own bed sheets, pillow case, and towels for the bathroom and kitchen. Considering the rental fee is on the high side, this really should have been included.

Perfect little getaway

We have stayed at this property for a long weekend and we absolutely loved it! The location is perfect, the size is great for a couple (or even a family of 3). It is right next to the beach and beautiful scenery. Communication with property manger was quick and efficient and we had no issues with the condo. It is away from stores, restaurants and any other establishments, but to us this was the upside as opposed to downside. Little trips to nearby stores were not a problem and we drove to restaurants in Edgartown for either takeouts or dinners. We are already looking forward to coming back!

Great location!

The location is lovely, and there is a great cross-breeze. Many people would find the condo decoration charming. We would have appreciated if sheets and towels had been provided, or at a minimum, paper kitchen towels. The lovely porch would have been enhanced with a couple of cushioned lounge chairs. The indoor shower pressure was a bit low, but the outside shower was fine. We would have preferred that soap and shampoo be provided. We recommend this property more for a long-term stay than a weekend.

Spoiled by Beaches and a Little Bit of Heaven

Great location especially if you want solitude giving you a chance to unwind, take in the uniqueness of the beach with its cliffs and rock formations. It seemed like all the rocks on the beach were in the shape of a heart! Joan supplied us with passes for other beaches but we were spoiled and chose only to go to Moshup Beach. The condo was just perfect for the three of us, parking was available in front of our unit but a little tight for my F-150. I had originally thought that we would leave the truck inland and only use our bicycles. I was glad that I had read previous reviews to know that I would need to bring my own bedding, my other two friends were flying in and this might have been a little more inconvenient, if I was not driving. I feel fortunate that Joan was willing to share her little bit of heaven with us.

Paradise in New England

It's difficult to write this review because this place is so magical that I don't want everyone to discover it. Aquinnah is the exact opposite of Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. If you are looking for peace, quiet, and serene landscapes this is the spot for you. Joan's condo is the perfect beach escape with water views on two sides and a historic lighthouse on the other. The porch on the property wraps around all three sides and the ocean air whips in off the sea. Joan is a fantastic host that this easy to communicate with and if you have a problem she responds very quickly. We highly recommend this property and hope to return for several years.

Spotless accommodation, beautiful setting, gracious host!

This was our second time staying here and we absolutely loved it and didn’t want to leave! This is a beautiful condo that feels like your own private cottage with a gorgeous deck right next to the lighthouse and ocean views from every room. It is absolutely spotless and beautifully decorated, with a beachy feel. We loved having our morning coffee out on the deck, taking in the views of the ocean and green hills. The beautiful Moshup beach with its red clay cliffs is only a short walk from the house, down a dirt path that is relaxing to stroll down, with the dunes and wildflowers at both sides. We also loved walking down to the beach late in the evening with the red and white strobes from the lighthouse casting a magical glow around us. Joan is also a fabulous host who is very responsive and accommodating. We hope to return next summer!

About the host

Hosted by Joan Goodman

We've been coming to the Vineyard since 1983 and it was love at first sight. When we questioned why we kept returning to the same beach (the same spot on the same beach!) year after year, we answered our own question with -- when you've found the BEST, why change? We hope you will feel the same way.

Why they chose this property

This property is particularly wonderful if you are beach lovers. The accommodations are simple, the views are beautiful and the beach is spectacular. The path to the beach is two minutes from the property. Then another 8 minutes down the beach path and you are ON THE BEACH. No hassle with having to park a car. Come and go all day, easily. Wake up and be the first one leaving your footprints in the sand. Stay and watch the sunset over the Elizabeth Islands. Easy ten minute walk back to your property. Outdoor shower, quick seafood dinner available at the nearby shops (2 minute walk), or two minute walk in the other direction for a more "formal" dinner at a restaurant. Repeat the next day!

What makes this property unique

Martha's Vineyard is a unique vacation destination for many reasons over many years. James Taylor, Carly Simon, Jackie O, and many US presidents have found it both welcoming and peaceful. Our location allows you access to all the towns and the fun and activity they provide - day and night, for all ages - as well as a private refuge from it all.
