Our stay at The Guest House

Perfect location. Clean and cozy. Private yard. A bit small, but was great for two adults and our dog! Christian was always available for any questions. He's a great host. Beautiful sunsets looking west across Menemsha pond, and a short walk to beach.

Great week on MV !!

Beautiful spot for a couple, quiet except for songbirds and the Menemsha Harbor bell a mile or so distant. Big beautiful view, including Gay Head Lighthouse light. Private and peaceful.

Wonderful secluded spot to appreciate nature

The cottage has been very thoughtfully updated without losing its simple beach charm. Wonderful walls of windows flow into the open landscape and water on the horizon. It’s a cozy space perfect for a couple or a small young family - although we visited in the fall, can imagine it would feel like true indoor/outdoor living during the summer months when the weather allows. A quiet dirt road on the sleepy side of the island was perfect for long walks with the dog each morning with our coffee. Would very happily stay again.

Up Island Vacation

This spot was wonderful- even better than we anticipated from the online advertising. The yard is very private, with a spectacular view and walkable go various spots. Everything is clean and the kitchen essentials are well stocked. The host is very organized, great communication and everything went smoothly.

A perfect escape

This beautiful little cottage with a view of the harbor was a perfect escape from our City life. The space is smartly laid out and the living room with glass walls on three sides is the perfect spot to relax with a book -- it was equally beautiful to watch a storm approach as it was to watch the sun set.

Peaceful Escape

Menemsha is our favorite location on the island and this charming guest house was simply perfect in every regard. We enjoyed the sunsets from the deck, watching the 4 bunnies enjoy the lush grass on the sweeping lawn, long walks on backroads, and quick trips to Larsen's for fresh seafood. The house is well equipped with everything we needed, and the owners have paid attention to every detail to make our stay very comfortable and easy.

Beautiful & peaceful nature preserve cottage

This could not be more of a relaxing spot, located in a nature preserve area on the quiet side of MV. We were welcomed by many types of birds and a family of bunnies during our stay. It is very quiet and peaceful, with a few great spots for dining and access to resident only beaches which are never crowded. The deck is huge and the wrap around windows in the living room were really special. My only suggestion to other vacationers is to be aware the cottage is small, and the main bedroom is tight with only a full size matress, so it is a bit challenging if you’re used to a larger bed & bedroom. Overall my wife and I had a really nice & relaxing time.

This particular road is our favorite on MV - it's an exceptional location on an island that is stunning to begin with. The sunsets were dramatic. The little cottage was *extremely* clean and well- supplied. The owner made sure we were all set when we arrived.

We had a great vacation! Communication with Christian was clear, fast and he was always available. Place was clean, updated, very well equipped and accurately described in the listing. Abundant natural light! Great location, a little removed from the hustle and bustle which we loved. Very pet friendly. Beach umbrella and chairs were in great condition. All of the outdoor furniture was of nice quality. Would definitely come back!

Little Oasis

Property was clean, comfortable, and the spot where it was located was it just outstanding. We did have our two labrador retrievers with us and found it to be a very safe area for them. The views out the window were pretty special though some of the sliders were a little tricky because they’re old. They was a couple glitches with the water in the outside shower, but the owner assured us he would repair the issue. It’s out of t huddle and bustle & very peaceful!

Quiet escape

Spotless and chic modern guesthouse. Views of the pond and surrounding countryside are lovely. Tiny but efficient - good for a couple. Needs better lighting for reading and new blinds. Would replace washer/dryer combo machine which was hard to operate and so loud it shook the house. Otherwise everything was perfect! Loved it.
