Beautiful Estate with Large Lawn Made for Socializing and Kids' Playroom

The CAVU Mansion on Bellevue

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

With a spacious interior ranging from formal to casual, a separate play room for the kids, and a large lawn, this Martha's Vineyard vacation home is a great choice for your next family trip.

Located in the town of Tisbury, this home is just a short distance away from the shores of Lagoon Pond, where guests may launch boats from various docks, or bring beach chairs and towels for a day in the sun. This home is in a residential part of town, giving it a quiet local feel.

This home is warm and cabin-like on the outside, yet vast and welcoming on the inside. Multiple sitting rooms - including an enclosed sun porch - two dining rooms, a large kitchen, and a playroom offer a venue for every kind of socializing from sipping wine and chatting in your Sunday best to watching movies or a sports game in sweat pants.

This home comes fully equipped to entertain guests of all ages with WiFi, cable, a Blu-ray DVD player and VCR, a CD player, and several age-appropriate board games and books.

Pick your sitting spot and curl up with your personal device or a novel while a meal is prepared in the large kitchen, or out on the patio with the updated grill. Enjoy a formal family dinner at the banquet table, a casual cup of coffee and a muffin before the bay windows, or a barbecue out on the deck.

The kids are taken care of here as well, with a playroom complete with their own TV and movie players, stuffed animals, puzzles, and children's books. Make sure to bring coloring books and your kid's favorite movies. While the adults chat on the deck, set the kids up in the yard with kiddie badminton, frisbee, or catch on the lawn.

This five-bedroom, five-bathroom home can sleep 10 guests comfortably (eight adults at most, please), and the master wing has brand new hardwood floors for you to enjoy. With two king beds, a queen bed, two single twins, a twin bunk bed set, it can accommodate a wide range of vacationers, from multi-generational families to groups of friends.

This is a great base for your island adventures, including hikes and tours of historic lighthouses, and days spent at Norton Point Beach clamming, bird watching, or strolling the sand. Go sailing, or (if you're here in August) take a walk through the Agricultural Fair.

For a trip to one of the East Coast's classic retreats, check out this beautiful home on the shores of Martha's Vineyard.

The Perfect Size
The house was large enough for our group. 5 bathrooms with plenty of beds. The kitchen needs a major update. The appliances are out dated, including the microwave and coffee maker, the plates etc., we felt we could not use plates for our meals. There were not enough towels, so I washed them every other day. The outside furniture was not cleaned and it was nice enough to be outside. Was the outdoor furniture forgotten? We had a good week, but will choose another house next year that more fits our lifestyle.

Good for a Large group
I like that there was a bathroom for every bedroom. Not all ensuites. It is good for a large group. However, cleanliness was not their strong point. Dirty towels, broken toilet seat (that was also noted previously by others guest), constantly running toilet, very poorly draining bathtub and sink (would fill up while taking a shower), very dated furniture that need replacing, and hard outdated mattresses that had very unclean mattresses pads on them. Management???

Disappointed
Very spacious and private. We were able to check in early without additional fee. Easy booking. Disappointed in the cleanliness, especially when charged a pretty large cleaning fee, mold on downstairs bathroom ceiling, floors in downstairs rooms had not been cleaned and had visible dirt/dust, stains on towels and linens dishes in cabinets dusty, raccoons got into the trash left by previous people and trash was scattered around entry way. Mattresses were rock hard and very old.

Electrical problems
Although it was difficult to find (it is actually in Tisbury) the house was old but looked great. THere were five sleeping locations. After settling in on Tuesday we had to call the service immediately bc there was no electric in part of the house and we could not entertain the wedding party in our living area as there was no electric. Downstairs rooms were moldy bc the dehumidifier had no electric which triggered asthma attacks. Fire department had to come on day 3 and 4 bc the carbon monoxide and then smoke alarm were going off. That is just a brief summary.

Nice House, but a little misleading
Overall, it was a nice stay, but if you plan to stay during the summer and want to spend most of your time at the house, this may not be the place for you unless you are okay with it being warm in the house. The house only has window units, but there isn't one in the living area where you and your family/guests might want to hangout. This was not disclosed and when it got very warm without a/c, I was called and told that there was only central heating in the living room and no a/c. I asked for fans or something and was told that they couldn't provide them. I found a small fan in another room that did not have a/c and put that fan in the living room. It helped a little and fortunately for us, we didn't stay together in the living area much. Some of my guests also found medicine left by a previous guest and even a dead bug. There was an issue with the downstairs bath lights, but I wasn't made aware of it until the evening before we left so I did not report it.

Lovely and charming
The CAVU Mansion was a sprawling house with many "wings," and it was great that each bedroom had its own bath (very convenient). It's located on a dirt road that is a little hard to navigate, but GPS helped us find the place. But it has four *mostly* comfortable bedrooms (more on that in a bit), sitting and living rooms, a nice patio, two dining rooms, and a playroom (which we didn't use). The kitchen looked nice too, but we didn't really use that either. The one thing that I would note is that one of the bedrooms (the one I slept in) has a lattice door and a partial latticework wall. That meant that light got in if all the lights in the house weren't off, and made the air conditioning less efficient. In addition, the thermostat in that room was set to 80 degrees (when the outside temperature was more than 90 degrees), so the room got very hot (even though the air conditioning was also on--wasteful) and took quite a while to cool down that first night. I thought maybe the cleaning crew had mistakenly turned it up, but then I saw that the checkout instructions said to leave the thermostat at 80 degrees when leaving. That didn't make sense in a summer house location, and we suspected that those instructions are just boilerplate for the many properties managed by Vacasa. At any rate, that should be changed. But all in all, it was a nice place to spend a weekend on the Vineyard.

Very nice house and setting. The only down side is the partial A/C in the house. Central air conditioning would be a great investment. The rooms are comfortable the kitchen is fantastic and the grounds are beautiful. Me & my friends really enjoyed our stay there.

Potential, but needs updating
Needs serious updating. The property was musty and smelled like mildew. The description said AC, but they were window units in a couple of the bedrooms and did not work well. Also, beach chairs had holes in them and were rusted. We would not return unless the property was majorly updated.

A poorly maintained house. Do not stay here.
The toilet in the master bathroom broke the first day of our stay and was never fixed. The hot water in the master bathroom was barely hot and took an extremely long time to even get to that tepid temperature. The mattresses were either rock hard or lumpy— they need to be replaced. There were small issues such as window cranks that fell off so we couldn’t open those windows, door screens falling off, ceiling fans that didn’t work (that was fixed.) the house is dark, with little airflow. The location is great for kids--a large and lovely yard on a dirt road, the house is poorly supplied and badly maintained--the mattresses are unfit. Of lesser concern, though still irritating, we were supplied with one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, 1 tiny bottle of dishwashing soap, the smallest bars of soap imaginable. This house was misleadingly represented.

Beautiful house but dusty and moldy- needs TLC
The check in process and communication with owner was easy. When we arrived, the outside garbage was overflowing. Once inside, the house has a very strong musty odor. A guest attempted to use the first bathroom near the kitchen and got stuck inside because the track of the pocket door was competed rotted and no longer worked properly. We needed two other people to get her out of there. Most of the bedrooms we great, however, the lower two bedrooms in the house are kind of in a basement level where the humidity is read 80% on their dehumidifier. It’s great they have a dehumidifier, however, it fills up every couple of hours and had clearly Stopped running way before we got there (because it was full), making the entire area damp and musty. I recommend having the dehumidifier drain somewhere so it can run continuously. In the bathroom on this same level there is clearly black mold growing on the ceiling. In the bedroom there were fake plants on the nightstand that were COVERED in a thick layer of dust- I had to put them on the floor, as I am highly allergic. Overall, the place on the surface was clean, but it was dusty, musty, and moldy and I did not feel comfortable walking around without shoes nor sitting on a lot of the furniture in the living room. I had an infant with me, so the mold and dust were very concerning and completely grossed me out. In addition, there was no laundry detergent in the house, which, typically, there is enough for a load or two at other places I have stayed (especially since they usually ask you to start a load before you leave). It’s really a shame because the house is beautiful and could really be amazing if it was taken care of properly. Would not rent here again unless some improvements were made.

Property and location was okay
The yard and size of the house served our family, but the house is extremely dated, superficially cleaned, but attention to detail was missing like cleaning the base of the window so you could open the windows and not have dirt blow in, the kitchen is disorganized and not well equipped for cooking, and sadly, the must and mold were not good for our family who suffers from allergies. Were grateful for many things such as the management company and their communication, adequate supply of beach towels, and some toys for the kids, however these things didn't counterbalance the challenges and we would probably not stay here again.

Great location but house definitely needs updating
Location is perfect, but one of the double bunk bed is not so much a room, there is no ac or fan in that room. All the Window AC unit needs updating. Toilet by the entrance is broken, I’m surprised it’s not being fixed after the last reviewer’s comment. My friends daughter got stuck inside. House is relatively clean but there’s leftover food on the floor, spiders throughout the house. Owner definitely needs to look into these few things to refresh the house.

Fell slightly short
There were a lot of things to love about this place and a few minor inconveniences that were bothersome enough to write about them. Firstly, the main positive is that Gianna from Vacasa was super responsive and I am very happy about that. That level of customer service will definitely keep me booking with Vacasa. Now the not so good things: 1) Flies, flies and more flies! These things entered the house through every crack and crevice(by the a/c units I am assuming) in droves. I don't think we would have been able to tolerate another day of it 2) My sister got stuck in the downstairs bathroom. The door track completely fell apart and at one point, we thought we were going to have to contact the fire department. We spent over 30 minutes trying to get her out. All of that to say, there are a quite a few things within the home that need to be updated The home is a beautiful older home and the more antique feel of it all was to be expected; again, with a few minor tweaks, the potential is endless.

Just got back from our weekend in the Vineyard and it was AMAZING. We had 10 adults stay comfortably in this home with everything we needed! There were 5 full baths and plenty of room! The kitchen had everything we needed in it and it was perfectly located close to all the activities of the island! Would 100% recommend and hope to return!
