Amazing place. Location close to all the beaches of Aquinnah. Very private which is what we wanted. Design is very well set up. Three separate bedrooms includes private Master on it's own floor. Wonderful rooftop deck. And all communications with the owner were great!

The Vineyard in September

We had a wonderful stay in Aquinnah in September 2024! We loved the house, and its design and setting gave us a great base to explore the island. With access to six plus beaches and the use of kayaks, there’s lots to see if you want to, but also lots of great places just to sit and relax. The deck at the house is a wonderful place to watch sunrises, sunsets, and moon rises too! We will be back!

Spacious Slice of Paradise

10 out of 10! Thank you Victoria and family for an outstanding vacation! Their beautiful home is well situated, close to multiple bodies of water. You can reach Menemsha pond in a 4-5 minute walk, you can drive or bike 5-10 minutes to the ocean, you can kayak, or you can take a short drive to the public beach or the Aquinnah-resident beach. The first few days of our vacation, it was quite rainy and cold. However the Brown family’s well-appointed and beautifully designed house made it a delight to simply enjoy the home. I cannot say enough about how well-stocked, comfortable and beautiful this house is. I kept up my yoga practice in the screened-off front room while facing bucolic greenery ahead of the pond. When the rain ceased, a charm of hummingbirds flocked to the hibiscus bush beside the entrance. On a warmer day during our stay, I noticed 5 distinct types of butterflies and colorful moths delighting in the many pollinator flowers behind the house. Since my sister is very allergic to mosquitoes, yet loves the outdoors, we all brought plenty of protection that we never even needed to use. The nature-forward treatment of the grounds somehow repelled mosquitoes yet invited pollinating butterflies. Every kitchen tool I could imagine, was already stocked, from a rolling pin, baking dishes, pots and pans and the like. The cross breeze regulated the temperature so well, on our hottest day there, we didn’t break a sweat. I cannot wait to return. Thank you!

Beautiful home in peaceful setting

This home was perfect for our long weekend stay to celebrate Father's Day. It is well appointed, clean, and the kitchen was great to prepare family dinners together. The roof deck has gorgeous views and amazing breezes. We took advantage of all the special perks that came with the house, including a lovely stroll down to Menemsha Pond, a swim at Key Beach, and kayaking at Red Beach. Victoria was very quick to respond and extremely helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely recommend this home and we hope to return for another family gathering!

Perfect for our family of 5

Victoria's home was just right for our family of five, with kids aged 1, 5, and 7. Tucked away in a private spot, it felt very secluded. It was a short walk to a pond and quick drive to a private beach, both of which we had all to ourselves. The kids had a blast at the pond, even on rainy days. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch, playing games and lounging in the rocking chairs. My husband and I are thinking of returning for a quieter getaway, just the two of us. Victoria and Mara were both a pleasure.

Aquinnah

This home is very comfortable. We visited in the off season so some of its amenities were unavailable to us but the setting and location on the island did not disappoint. Victoria was a very responsive host and kept us informed before and during our stay.

Up Island Paradise

We have visited MV for over 30 years and almost always stay in Chilmark. We decided to venture further up island and I’m so glad we did! The property is so beautiful and the house is very well equipped. It was the perfect set up for myself, husband, and sister and her 18 month old (parents: there is a tub!) Victoria provides a binder with a lot of helpful tips about the house and the area. We took advantage of the beach access and the kayaks - highly recommend! There are two balconies which is just lovely! Also a gas grill. If you’re looking to disconnect (don’t worry, there’s still wifi) and relax, this is the place for you. You definitely need a car so make sure to book a ferry reservation.

We wanted to stay longer!

Our party of eight included 2 seniors, 4 millennials and 1 toddler and 1 baby, and everyone loved their stay. When asked, folks gave high rankings to the screened in porch (fun playing with toys and eating), the upstairs porch (quiet place for reading and talking and star gazing), the kitchen (plenty of space and everything needed for cooking), a clean house, a beach within walking distance with a shallow area for small children, and a parking pass to beautiful local beaches. And a very responsive landlady!

Beautiful and Quiet

This is indeed a "calm and charming" home, and we enjoyed our stay! Aquinnah itself is beautiful (loved the ride to the house from Vineyard Haven), although if you're bringing along teens, you might want to emphasize ahead of time the quiet (and the beauty of the beaches and other natural areas) as opposed to anything they might experience in town. That being said, the wifi worked perfectly, so nobody felt too isolated. ; ) My only suggestions are: making sure to update the binder of information in the house so access to the private beach and kayaks is accurate, and maybe adding a broom and dustpan to the (otherwise well appointed!) kitchen just to make daily clean-ups easier. That being said, the owner was extraordinarily responsive, so these little "issues" weren't really problems at all. Bottom line: If you enjoy the beauty of the ocean and the wooded areas of MV, as well as peace and quiet, this is the spot for you!

Comfortable up-island cottage

House is a nice rural vineyard house up island in Aquinnah for four adults. Location is relaxing and private beach wonderful. Upper deck enjoyable for star gazing. It is a bit of a drive to other towns if that is where you intend to spend your time. Beds are on the smaller size but main living/kitchen area is comfortable. Outdoor shower has noteworthy high water pressure. Perhaps once weekly garbage pick up with overflow stored in basement not ideal for avoiding wildlife in the house.
