WATERFRONT Downtown Cottage w/ Beach

This is one of the most unique properties on Martha's Vineyard. Located directly on the bustling Vineyard Haven harbor & right across the street from the famous Black Dog Tavern, this cottage offers a truly immersive waterfront Vineyard experience - right in the thick of everything. Everything you could need - from public transportation, to groceries, to restaurants, beaches and so much more - is literally just steps outside the front door. The house was just remodeled and outfitted with all new furniture and appliances. The house is comprised of a fully equipped kitchen, living room, small dining area, 2 outdoor decks, 2nd floor master bedroom with full bath, and a downstairs 1/2 bath. Off-street parking for up to 2 vehicles - which is like GOLD in that area! If you’re arriving by way of your own boat, dock space can be reserved in advance at The Black Dog Wharf, Vineyard Haven Marina and Tisbury Wharf Company.

A great weekend getaway

This is a beautiful property located just seconds away from the ferry. The house has an incredible loft area for sleeping, with ample pillows and blankets to adorn the king size bed. The newly updated shower has many amazing features and the kitchen is stocked for easy use. Mike communicated exceptionally with us upon arrival to ensure our stay started well. We would absolutely recommend this beautiful house to any couple traveling for a nice get away! We would easily 100% book again in the future.

A Vineyard Oasis

A true Vineyard oasis! I have been coming to the Vineyard for a few years and this by far was the best house and in the best location. Mike was very accommodating, attentive and the residence was spotless. This was our first time lodging in Vineyard Haven as we’ve only lodged in Oak Bluffs, we’ve found our new home away from home. Thank you, from your friends in Washington, DC.

Perfect Martha’s Vineyard Getaway

Mike was a great host. He communicated very well for the check in and check out process. The house itself is amazing. Perfect for two adults. It is beautifully decorated and appointed well. The location on the harbor could not be better. Close to the Ferry. Plenty to do near by. We did not bring a vehicle and used our bikes to traverse the island.We loved relaxing on the porches and watching all the harbor activity. Every window framed the spectacular view. We can’t wait to return!

Wow! Amazing house with incredible view!

We were so thrilled with this house!! This home was more beautiful and well appointed than we had hoped and the location is outstanding. Wonderful views of the harbor, ferries and right in the heart of downtown Vineyard Haven. Just a perfect location! No car necessary, shopping and restaurants all within short walking distance. The property manager, Mike was great, he responded to our questions immediately with detailed, informative answers. The house was exceptionally clean and extremely well decorated and stocked!!! The kitchen, bedroom and porch views were amazing. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Another excellent stay

This is our second visit to Mikes' beachfront cottage and we have nothing but great things to say. If you are looking for a place to unwind and relax while taking in the views of the harbor, this is the place for you. All modern amenities are available at your disposal. The bath towels are plush, thick, and high quality. The bed is comfortable, the bedding is soft, and the pillows will have you dreaming in no time. We rented a jeep during our stay and loved the ease of coming and going with our own parking spot. We didn't cook at all because there are so many great restaurants to explore on the island including the one directly next door, The Black Dog Tavern. I highly recommend a stay at this cottage.

Nice long weekend at Martha’s Vineyard

We just came back from a 3 night stay at Martha Vineyard and had an amazing time. The host allowed us to check in a couple hours earlier than checkin time because the house was ready for us and he was accommodating the whole trip if we needed anything. He also gave us several good restaurant suggestions. The house itself is clean and right on the water. The views of the harbor are beautiful. It was a very easy walk from the ferry to get to the house. We did not bring a car on the ferry or rent a car but just used the bikes we rented the whole time. I would suggest if you want to explore the island more and are not very active to bring/rent a car. The home comes with an available space to park.
