Location was very nice. The house worked well for our group. Road to the house was a bit challenging as not paved and had some severe divits in the surface.

Amazing stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home. We spent mornings and evenings enjoying meals and board games on the porch. It’s a quiet oasis with easy access to Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, and Edgartown by car (5-15 mins). Would recommend bringing a car if you’re planning to stay here. We can’t wait to come back!

Heavenly

The cottage sits in the trees right above the water on the bay. It is quiet, peaceful and a wonderful cottage with history, games, books, kayaks, a canoe, paddles and life vests. We were on the water both days and saw a herd of baby jelly fish on the second. It was paradise to someone from the mountains. And Ray, our host, was more than accommodating when our ferry was cancelled. Wonderful cottage in the woods on the water.

We loved this place. The view was beautiful and relaxing. The way the cottage was set up and decorated was perfect. I was perfectly content to just stay there when not visiting or enjoying the island. I hope to have the opportunity to stay there again!

Visiting Martha’s Vineyard

The views are great on a nice day! We did have some rain but it didn’t stop us from visiting the various towns. Border road is a bit rough if you don’t have an SUV. Would definitely recommend!

Serenity

We had a lovely time at Ray’s house. We thoroughly enjoyed the views on the morning from the deck, bird watching, etc. The house was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, Jess the caretaker who lives downstairs was very friendly too. The location was great! Close to town but still private. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Ray Culin

My wife and I manage the woodworking operation of Zepsa Industries in Mamaroneck, NY. We love spending long weekends on the Vineyard where we play golf, kayak, swim, windsurf and enjoy the great restaurants.

Why they chose this property

My Architect father designed the house which is heated by solar energy in the winter with a hot air system he fabricated with off the shelf parts. After my father retired at 65, my mother and father built most of the house themselves, with reclaimed material found on the Island and tree trunks from the property. They mixed and poured the unique concrete floor structure themselves. My mother recently passed away at 96. I've been managing the property for the last 7 years and am constantly improving it. I replaced the roof and converted the hot air system to photo voltaic collectors. My father would be proud. We are renting the house to keep it as a family retreat for years to come.

My mother had an wonderful organic garden where she grew blue ribbon vegetables she entered at the Ag Fair. I am endeavoring to gradually restore that garden and her 'Berry Barn'.

We have a caretaker who uses a basement apartment with a private entrance that maintains the grounds and property. She is voluntarily involved in the garden restoration project. She is also there to assist guests with all our water sports equipment and has local knowledge.

What makes this property unique

The house has a great deck with a beautiful view of the lagoon which is 2 miles long and is perfect for the Sunfish or Kayak/Canoe and Kayaks that are available to renters.
