My family and I had the wonderful pleasure of staying at this amazing property. Property: Wow...where do I start?!! The home is spectacular and rivals any you'd find in the top interior design magazines. It is a new property and the attention to detail the owners have put into it is exceptional. As soon as you enter the home, you are immediately transported to another...a better...more peaceful, relaxing and lighter world. The house features crisp white paint and huge windows that bathe you in sunlight all day. The open concept kitchen has every feature and amenity you would want (hi-tech range, convection, blender, coffee maker, dishwater, utensils, etc.). The living room has a double sofa design with a modern fireplace that encouraged gathering, conversation and a few game nights during our stay. The 3 bedrooms (ensuite king in main; queen in 2nd and two double beds in 3rd which share a jack-and-jill bathroom) were spacious and the nautical-themed decor throughout were inspirational design choices. The main house also had a well-equipped laundry room with brand new washer and dryer and all of the supplies we needed for our week's stay. There is a powder room off the spacious foyer that was also beautifully decorated. The home could have doubled as an art gallery as it featured some really awesome pieces including works by local artists. But the piéce de resistance was the garden and salt water pool. The landscaping was reminiscent of an English garden and had so many colorful flowering plants including blossoming hydrangeas. We spent each morning having coffee by the pool and most afternoons and every evening in the pool. The water was the perfect temperature, even late in the evening. And for our late night swims, the kids loved that the pool's changing lights. The owners also provided a great assortment of pool toys (pool noodles, volleyball, and floats). The saltwater made swimming so luxurious and sting-free without the chlorine. For those with little ones, the home is equipped with automatic pool alarms that trigger when a door to the pool area opens to keep your little ones safe. (If you don't have little ones, be sure to ask the owner how to deactivate the alarms, so that they don't drive you crazy!) Next to the pool was the most incredible freestanding pool house. It featured massive windows, wine frig and wet bar, a sleek fan to keep air flowing, a 3-piece bathroom and separate den with TV and comfortable sofa that can be converted into a very comfortable queen bed. This extra space was great for the teenagers to hang out in during the day. The home is situated on Watcha Pond and guests are encouraged to take advantage of it by using the 2 paddle boards (with paddles and life vests) provided by the owners, which we did. We had so much fun exploring the pond on the boards. We were able to row to a very nice nearby beach that way. Just make sure you remember which way you paddled because the lake is huge! Communications: Prior to arriving on Martha's Vineyard, I was able to discuss the property and our stay with host Zoe who was extremely responsive, very helpful and was really great to work with. She provided us with detailed information about the home before we arrived so that we had everything we needed before arriving, including a house manual, directions from ferry, and restaurant recommendations. I didn't need to speak to her during our stay because everything was perfect. The only thing you should bear in mind with the property is the long dirt road to get there. Factor about 10-15 mins to reach the main road. We knew this beforehand and it didn't distract from our stay very much. In fact, after driving the dirt road, staying in this incredible oasis was worth it. I almost don't want to tell anyone about this property so that I can keep it to myself! But it really is amazing and I highly recommend it. We are already confirming dates together for summer 2023 so that we can book it again next year.
