An Inviting Escape

This immaculate vacation rental is situated in the exclusive Oyster Pond enclave on Martha’s Vineyard that has been called “one of the most serene spots in the state” by The Boston Globe. Its seven acres that border MA Conservation Forest afford a serene privacy that is difficult to match, yet is conveniently located a mile off Edgartown-West Tisbury Road for easy access to downtown Edgartown, and for heading up island.

The custom-built “Dream House” per Architectural Digest, comfortably sleeps eight. It is an upside down house, with the living room, kitchen and master suite & bath located on the spacious second floor. Soaring with high ceilings and a cupola, its flow and energy transport one to a space where time is measured by the arcs of the sun and moon.

Two large decks — perfect for morning coffee, sunning, grilling, cocktails, dining, and star-gazing— flank the house and overlook the surrounding pine forest, massive oaks, cedars, a stand of spruces, and huckleberry fields. A fully-appointed kitchen also provides a lovely view to the sprawling lawn below for watching playful kids or graceful deer.

The first floor spreads out from a custom, curved staircase to three additional bedrooms, a library, a laundry room, and a bathroom with separate double-sink vanity. Enjoy the healthy pH-balanced soft-water system that tastes delicious and leaves your hair salon-luxurious.

Flat panel TVs grace all rooms including the library, which is perfect for an evening children's movie, or as an office (with wireless printer/copier/fax). A kids’ corner upstairs is stocked with games, puzzles, art supplies, “stuff to build”, and a telescope to explore the night sky. A high chair, booster seats, safety gate for kids and dogs, and new Pack 'n Play are available. There’s no need to pack the car with the essentials, because included with your stay are fresh linens & towels (for the beach too!), and kitchen & bath mainstays.

Five bikes of varying sizes are provided to tour the island on its extensive network of dedicated paths. Other toys include: kayaks and stand up paddleboards (SUPs), lawn games, beach toys, beach umbrella, beach chairs and blankets, a collapsible, large-wheeled beach carry all, and a portable cooler with cold packs. An enticing, two mile walking/running loop that starts from the property, and from which you can access secluded trails in the MA Conservation Forest, also awaits. A 30-amp electric vehicle charger is on site.

Oyster Pond is only~150 yards away, by which you can access and explore the beauty of the pond and reach the beach. Upon your return (and even better at night under the stars!), a warm outdoor shower beckons. A firepit, with kindling and split wood also awaits with skewers for s’mores to finish a perfect Vineyard day.
