About this property

Glorious Water View, private beach

This spectacular beach house with stunning water views is located 20 feet from the edge of a grassy cliff overlooking Vineyard Sound. It was designed by the visionary architect Andrew Geller and is comfortable, convenient and remains modern in every way. The kitchen is well-equipped and the house can accommodate up to 10 people, with 4 private bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and an upstairs sleeping alcove.

The path to the private beach is easily accessible about 30 feet from the house and even the beautiful outdoor shower offers great water views. The house is extraordinarily efficient: The master bedroom and full bath are on the second floor, along with a spacious living room (equipped with TV/DVD, comast cable) and very functional study. The latter area also contains a futon and can be closed off from the living room for privacy. A beautiful upstairs deck has a table and lounge chairs to enjoy the sunset views, unobstructed, over the water. Wireless Internet is available throughout.

The house is so unique it was featured on the cover of 'Beach Houses,' by Alastair Gordon, and published in 2003 by Princeton Architectural Press. Check out the Princeton Architectural Press website for ordering information or contact the owners for further information about this wonderful book which chronicles the career of architect Andrew Geller and his visionary work.

3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are located on the ground floor; 1 bath contains a toilet and sink, the other includes a shower. One of the downstairs bedrooms has a full bed, while the two others contain a total of four twin beds: two single built-in bunk beds in each room. The living room downstairs is very open and well-lit and opens into a beautiful dining room overlooking the water. The dining room table can accommodate 12 people or 6-8 when closed.

The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric stove, dishwasher, mixer, blender, food processor, toaster, coffee maker and lots of pots, pans and dishes. This house is often used by the owner's family, so everything is well maintained. Lawn care is provided.

Levitas clifftop property in Aquinnah

Oh my, where to start. House is just amazing with sunset views from porch. After day of touring or the beach, this home provided a respite for reflection & a peaceful atmosphere. My first trip to MV & found staying in Aquinnah (at this home) so lovely. Danny was a great host. Checked in to make sure all was well...which it was! Thanks, Danny!

A beautiful stay in a picturesque place

What an incredibly unusual house, and such a beautiful place to stay. One of our favorite trips to the Vineyard where we have been coming annually for over a decade. The house is an art piece. Architecture summer camp. It is funky but the location and views are Unparalleled. Daniel was a responsive and fantastic host! We had a wonderful family experience that everyone will remember forever. Thank you Daniel!!!
