About this house rental
A unique opportunity to spend your vacation in peaceful Abel’s Hill in Chilmark. This lovely cottage is located in the highly sought-after Abel’s Hill neighborhood - a peaceful enclave with coveted access to an association beach and tennis courts. Charming, comfortable, and well-maintained, with central AC throughout, this family-friendly vacation home is located in one of the most desirable areas of Chilmark with Lucy Vincent Beach just a short drive away. Enjoy the best that the Vineyard has to offer with access to the Abel's Hill Association's private sandy south shore beach; boating, paddleboarding, and kayaking on Chilmark Pond; and tennis on three association courts.
Built in 2005, this home comfortably sleeps 8 and is furnished in a chic coastal style with wood floors, open beams, high ceilings, and fantastic natural light. The bright and open first floor boasts a great room with cathedral ceilings and a stone fireplace. The screened-in porch is adjacent to the living room and offers a peaceful retreat to read a book or enjoy the views of the surrounding landscape, comprised of a spacious lawn with blueberry bushes for baking in-season pies and muffins. Completing the peaceful outdoor oasis is a patio for outdoor dining, and an outdoor shower where you can rinse off after a day well spent surrounded by nature. The well-equipped kitchen offers everything you need to prepare gourmet meals at home using local farmer’s market bounty and the day’s catch. The kitchen is open to both a bar and dining area, the perfect layout for entertaining family and friends. The spacious primary bedroom is located on the first level and features a private bath with soaking tub, shower and double vanity. On the second level, two loft-style bedrooms share a hallway bath a work-from-home space, and a sitting area. The garage carriage house offers additional living space, with a loft providing extra sleeping space, a private office, or a space for children to play.
Land bank trails are abundant and within easy walking distance. Ideally located for an up-island getaway, the home is convenient to the Chilmark General Store, Menemsha fishing village, Alley’s General Store, Farmer's Market, the Vineyard Artisan Festival, Chilmark Film Festival, Martha's Vineyard Book Festival, fine dining at Chilmark Tavern, State Road, Outermost Inn, and so much more.

Superlative. We have rented many homes on the Cape and MV over the years, expect comfort and high quality!!! and give this home our highest recommendation. Chilmark is a gorgeous area and Abel's Hill is THE BEST, with access to a glorious private beach (very hard to come by on MV since there are few public beaches and parking is tough) 3 private tennis courts a 5 minute walk and walking trails with views just up the way. The house is extremely comfortable, traditional style furnishing (in very good taste - not at all kitchy or cluttered ) extremely well appointed (kitchen is terrific and equipped with everything you can possibly think of! nice linens, comfortable seating for meals and also in living room for hanging out, lovely outdoor shower. Everything in the house is in extremely good shape and CLEAN (very well maintained.. nothing is in the slightest bit grotty!) which is important to us. Excellent internet. Lovely enclosed porch with rocking chairs and wicker, outdoor table and serene lawn with beautiful old plantings. There are homes in vicinity but we never heard anything but quiet in nature- bunnies, birds and stars at night. Rubber floor gym space in basement with hand weights for workouts is really handy. The owner is OUTSTANDING. Immediately responsive, kind and thoughtful. He cares about your holiday and satisfaction. First rate. Ben-thank you for sharing your home with us. We will certainly come again.

We had THE MOST MAGICAL stay in Chilmark. The house was charming, tidy and accommodated our family of 5 perfectly. We loved cozying up by the fireplace in the evenings and playing croquet in the yard while our youngest napped.Most spectacularly was the private beach down the road. Boating across the pond to the beach will absolutely become a core memory for our children (8, 6 and 3). They couldn’t get enough. Also our host Benjamin was very prompt whenever we had a question. A lovely stay. We can’t wait to come back.

Easiest check in I have ever done in a house rental, the owner was easy to reach and communicated all the details prompt & clearly. Fully stocked kitchen, great for making home cooked meals if that is your desire.

The location of the home is truly perfect, close to the busier parts of the island, and yet so peaceful and private. The kitchen has every amenity, and the private beach is amazing. The host is so communicative, and gave us great recommendations for activities and restaurants. We can’t wait to visit again!
