This sweet Marthas Vineyard vacation rental home has the maximum of natural light and useful space you can expect in a 1-1/2 story 800-sq. ft. Tisbury vacation house. White pickled wood cathedral ceilings and natural slate tile work accented by skylights and lots of windows, give the feeling of being outside in the surrounding forest, while enjoying the privacy of the Vineyard Haven vacation rental home.

The living room has a glass window wood stove that can also function as an open fireplace for romantic ambiance. A full kitchen with a gas stove, a double door refrigerator with icemaker, a dishwasher, a butcher-block peninsula and state of the art microwave oven, suits gastronomes as well as the basic food preparer.

The kitchen is open to the living room and is showered with light through the many windows over the tumbled marble counters. A 12'x28' deck to the west, overlooking a pleasant fishpond, allows outdoor dining to view the sunset.

There are two equal sized bedrooms with generous mirror-door closets. One room features a queen-sized bed, the other has two twin beds. Both bedrooms have double glass doors opening up to the rising sun in the East so you can start to enjoy the day, even before you get out of bed.

A stairway to the upstairs loft and newly added bonus room, offer a place for your guests, or extended family.

The floors in all downstairs rooms are maple hardwood that abuts an Indian slate tile at the entrance and around the wood stove.

The Vineyard Haven vacation Cottage has a full bathroom with a shower/tub. A beautiful outdoor shower on the north wall is still our favorite way to shower off the sand after a long day at the beach.

Beautiful Tashmoo Pond Beach is only a mile and a half, from the front porch. You can easily walk or bike through the forest on a pleasant dirt road leading to the secluded Land Bank Beach, or to the end of the sand peninsula where there is a perfect shellfish and crab exploratory shallow on one side, and a life guard posted to the deeper ocean side (during the summer.) It's a perfect mile for a morning jog to either beach.

The Tashmoo Cottage would fit best for one or two mature couples or a couple with two to four children. The neighborhood has a quiet end of the road character, but is close to Vineyard Haven shops and restaurants. Our Tisbury vacation home is only a little more than one mile away from the ferry dock.
