We are the first house on the right so no long, bumpy dirt road to navigate. Windows everywhere looking over the treetops. Sun filled great room with open kitchen, living room, and dining area. Kitchen features a Bertazonni stove where the gourmet cook can continue chatting with the guests or family while whipping up dinner. Living room/ dining room areas flow in spacious style perfect for family hanging out or entertaining guests. Screened porch extends the main floor to allow meals or lounging in the shade - bug free! Two upstairs bedrooms connect to a sunny deck with views of the Vineyard Sound when leaves are sparse. Private sunbathing way above the treetops. Primary bedroom has it's own small deck for private moments in the sun and an attached master bath. Outdoor shower with changing area plus shower. Large fenced yard with a fire pit ready and waiting for Smores at night. We are not pet friendly in general but we are open to discussing some exceptions for extremely conscientious dog owners. Please talk with us about this. This Sandcastle is just off Lighthouse Road - quiet and private, yet just minutes away from three beautiful beaches, the Gay Head Cliffs with shops and food stands, nationally known Orange Peel Bakery (Wednesday night make-your-own pizza nights are popular with islanders and summer folks alike). Quick access to Philbin Ocean Beach: one of the most beautiful ocean beaches on the island. Town permit will allow parking at all Aquinnah beaches. Or bike down to Lobsterville pond for a kayak or sailing lesson, and then take your bike across the tiny bike ferry to Menemsha, the Vineyard's one of a kind fishing village. Quaintness on steroids. Eat fried clams at The Galley, or buy a hot lobster-to-go at The Homeport and feast on the beach. The Sandcastle is a magical retreat but has easy access to the many delights of up-island living. Fifteen minute drive will take you to Chilmark's General Store (groceries, the best pizza on the island, a front porch full of rockers that are filled from 6AM to dusk with folks eating, reading, chatting, and people-watching.) In Chilmark you can also find the gorgeous Chilmark Library, the Community Center for kids and family events, with basketball and tennis courts available to the public. The Chilmark Tavern is a top island restaurant but with a relaxed atmosphere. BYOB - Chilmark is dry. Aquinnah is 30 minutes away from the bustle and traffic of down island towns - but still close enough to head in for fine dining, movies, shopping and exploration of other island beaches. WIFI IS AVAILABLE. (Note: There is no TV. But great wifi for watching stuff on your laptops!) The house also has a state-of-the-art Bluetooth speaker called a Phantom. (See www.en.deviolet.com/phantom/discover). Link your device to the Phantom and play your music (Pandora, Spotify, your itune selections) with an amazing sound. (Just please don't blast out the neighbors! The Phantom can get LOUD - with no distortion.) The house is stocked with baby-toddler equipment - a travel crib, high chair, toddler booster seat to strap onto a chair at the dining table, baby gate to block the stairs, and toddler plates, cups and utensils. Also a couple of toy wagons and large push trucks stored in the basement. Come have a vacation you will remember. Fall in love with a house as we did. Sandcastle is a really special spot. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Cobblestone flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Kayak - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,450 square feet ## Similar properties ![Sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18650000/18647100/18647082/w1910h1076x0y0-908abcdc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Martha's Vineyard Cozy Getaway Near Picturesque Philbin Beach Aquinnah - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 87 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=18647082&PinnedHotelID=18647082&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![3 bedrooms, desk, iron/ironing board, travel crib](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39230000/39222900/39222869/07ca4ccb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Amazing Views!!!
