Five blocks from the heart of downtown Vineyard Haven and the island's main ferry terminal, this house resides in a quiet island neighborhood near the new public library. A classic Cape Cod style home, it has been thoughtfully renovated, resulting in guests who come again and again. Four bedrooms accommodate 7 guests with 1 bedroom on the first floor and 3 bedrooms upstairs. There are 2 bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a combo shower and tub. Travelers can park two cars in the driveway and leisurely stroll into town for a morning cup of coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, shopping or to catch a bus at the ferry terminal to visit other parts of the Island. Bike rentals are available in downtown Vineyard Haven or Oak Bluffs.
On the first floor is a spacious living room with fireplace, game table and cable TV. The dining room connects to a renovated kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar. For outdoor eating, the kitchen conveniently opens onto a private and nicely landscaped, bluestone patio with table/chairs/umbrella and BBQ grill. Around the corner is a private outdoor enclosed shower for a quick rinse after a sandy day at the beach.
Sleeping arrangements offer three bedrooms and full bath/shower on the second floor. On the main floor is a fourth bedroom with an adjacent bathroom and ample-sized shower... great for Grandma and Grandpa or guests who may need quiet space.
Other features include hardwood floors; washer/dryer on the main floor; central air conditioning and WiFi.
One block away is the public library, renovated in 2026, with a children's section and programs for rainy days. Computers and seating areas for quiet reading are also available.
For the sports-minded traveler, Mink Meadow Golf Course is up the road, and the VH Yacht Club is a few blocks away. Beautiful Farm Neck Country Club, offering public golf and tennis play in the afternoon to non-members, is 6 miles away. In downtown Vineyard Haven, car, bike and moped rentals are available as well as access to the Island-wide bus system. Call ahead for bike and equipment rentals.
The island is waiting ... Come enjoy a week you'll never forget!
