About this property

This exquisite and secluded waterfront property on 4.5 acres is minutes from the historic Gay Head cliffs and lighthouse and features a private path to a quiet beach. The house is spacious and modern, with 4 bedrooms opening onto large decks overlooking the water with a full view of the Elizabeth Islands, Vineyard Sound and spectacular sunsets, and a fifth bedroom with one full bed. You may decide to spend most of your time lounging on the comfortable outdoor furniture on the deck, drinking a glass of wine (or your preferred drink) and watching the sun set into the water.

The large kitchen is fully equipped and the dining area comfortably seats 12. The house is close to the beautiful Philbin Beach and the unique clay cliffs, and to Menemsha Pond, which is ideal for clamming, sailing, and is safe for toddlers and small children who delight in exploring its warm shallow water.

couldn't have been better!

This trip was a girls trip for myself and my best friend of 35 years, and my 25 year old daughter and her best friend. This being our first trip to MV we really just guessed where to stay. Aquinnah was the perfect choice for a quiet and restful vacation. This home was absolutely LOVELY! The photos shown... like trying to capture a photo of a magnificent sunset... do not do this home justice. The view is unbeatable. The home beautiful , comfortable and perfectly designed to provide shared as well as private space. It was a wonderful and peaceful home base after exploring more populated and tourist parts of the island . None of us wanted to leave! And... We are already talking about making it an annual get together!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Weiss

Why they chose this property

After spending their honeymoon on Martha's Vineyard in 1956 and falling in love with the island (in addition to each other), my parents rented various homes in Chilmark for many years. In 1968, they bought land in Aquinnah (known as Gay Head back then) and built the house. It has been renovated and updated a number of times since then, and is a very special place.

What makes this property unique

There is nothing better than sitting on the deck in the early evening, watching the sun set over the water - especially after a day at the beach, a bike ride to Menemsha via the bike ferry, a walk around the cliffs to the ocean side, or a trip to town. It could not be more relaxing and rejuvenating.
