Menemsha Fishing Village and Beach is just around the corner ,with interesting shops, fish markets and eateries.

A thoughtful renovation and reimagining includes, a gourmet's kitchen ,screened porch and sunny living room, two large living rooms in total, outdoor deck and patio, central AC and every amenity. There are large, comfortable spaces indoors and out for relaxation and fun. The location is conveniently situated between two nearby villages.

Quintessential MVY

Incredible property, beautiful home, incredible appoitments at the crossroads of up island living. Will never get over being across the street from a private beach, 5 minutes from Menemsha, and 15 minutes from EVERYWHERE else. This is one of those homes that is a doorway into the classic age Vineyard lifestyle.

Lovely and peaceful

This was our second stay at Blue Barque. It’s an historic but thoroughly and tastefully updated 19th century farm house in magical Chilmark. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of indoor and outdoor space for our party of six adults and one child to gather. There are two living rooms so that a guest can find a quiet place to read while others chat or watch TV. The yard is private and was perfect for our pups. Hancock beach is beautiful and uncrowded. Lucinda, the property manager, is always responsive. Highly recommend.
