Perfect for a family or group of friends who are looking for less than a 2-minute walk to the beach and kayak from the backyard dock. This 4-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home, sleeps 8.
Our home has an open living area that brings the stunning vistas inside, features gorgeous water views of the beach that you can walk to from every room, and includes keyed access to a private beach right down the road. We installed AC in September 2024 to make your stay even more comfortable. The dining area and master bedroom open onto the spacious deck. The fully equipped kitchen faces the ocean and is adjacent to the dining area, which has seating for 8.
The indoor and outdoor areas are wonderful for entertaining or just relaxing in a magnificent, yet peaceful setting. Spacious yard for games and running around when you get back from the beach or town. Once you've experienced the breathtaking water views and sunsets from our 3-acre property, you'll want to come back year after year.
Unique beach options include access to:
• Squibnocket Beach (less than a 2-minute walk)
• Our association's private beach at Zack's Cliff (6 minutes by car, key to gated beach is provided)
• Chilmark's renowned Lucy Vincent Beach (7 minutes by car)
Squinocket Pond access:
• Right in our backyard, you have access to Squibnocket Pond
• Three kayaks (two singles and a tandem), canoe, and rowboat
• Paddles/oars, lifejackets, cushions, and gear are available in our paddle house steps
The brand-new dock on Squibnocket Pond is just steps from the house and has three kayaks (two singles and a tandem), a canoe, and a rowboat for a brief paddle or more extensive exploration on the Pond. Paddles/oars, life jackets, cushions, and gear are available in the boat house close to the dock.
Walk or run the neighborhood country lanes past stone walls, meadows and picturesque Vineyard homes, or follow the path to a private association dock on Quitsa Pond. The natural setting provides a wonderful opportunity to view more than 40 species of birds, including a swan family, ospreys, egrets and herons, as well as other abundant wildlife.
Sleeping options:
• Master bedroom with queen bed and ensuite bath
• Queen bedroom with beach and pond views
• Two bedrooms with two twin beds
The master bedroom has its own stunning views with an ensuite bath, a queen bed, and direct access to the deck. The other three bedrooms are on the opposite side of the open living area and all have ocean views (one queen and two with two twin beds). A full bath and a 1/2 bath are easily accessible from these three rooms.
While this family home is the perfect place to unplug, our high-speed Wi-Fi makes remote work or finding a recipe to go with the fish you picked up from Menemsha painless. The walkout basement has full washer and dryer to make laundry easy during your stay. Plus, we have plenty of room for rainy day activities. At the end of the day, there are tons of games for you to play or lounge on two large couches to watch a movie with a Roku TV and HDMI.
Added Bonus:
• Private Association Dock on Quista Pond
o Access to Menemsha Pond
• Private Keyed Beach Access at Zacks Cliffs
o Few miles down the road in Acquinnah

Truly a special spot on the Island. I grew up having a house in MV and have vacationed here on and off most of my adult life. The views and location are incredible. The house itself had everything we needed and more.

We had the pleasure of spending three weeks at the Stork's Nest. The home was clean and comfortable with an incredible view. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and an abundance of linens and towels was available. A short drive takes you to Menemsha for lobster and clams on the half shell or to Lobsterville Beach for a long peaceful walk. This is the perfect spot for people who are looking to get away from it all!

Fantastic property with absolutely beautiful views. Highly recommend!!!!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2016
I have been to Storks Nest twice and did not think, the second time could be better than the first, but it was. It's difficult to pin down why. It could be the sound of the ocean as we go to sleep, or waking up and showering outdoors in the early morning sun, or kayaking virtually from our door; it could be the wildlife all around, or the boogie boarding at the beach down the hill, or perhaps even the moonlit walks we enjoyed on the private beach. The home is a mix of charm and practicality with everything we could need, but the magic is where it is located, by a stunning pond and the sea, that you experience throughout the home. It is a place for romance, and a place for family and friends. I am counting down to the next visit.
