About this property

Experience the unique beauty of Martha’s Vineyard with pastoral farm views on one side and views of the Vineyard Sound and Elizabeth Islands on the other…all from the same home. Sanctuary House is a newly renovated farm house which highlights the iconic architecture of Martha’s Vineyard.
Water and sunset views, chef’s kitchen and hot tub make this property a gem.
Sanctuary House is the perfect retreat for couples, families and friends who are looking to experience the magic of Martha’s Vineyard.

Sanctuary House offers a first floor primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom, cast iron soaking tub, washer/dryer and hot tub right outside the bedroom door. The upstairs offers 3 sun-filled cozy bedrooms, 2 of them with stunning water views.

The house has a brand new, beautifully renovated kitchen with views of the Vineyard Sound. Prepare your meals while watching the boats go by in the day and dramatic sunsets in the evening. The kitchen has a chef’s grade induction stove, refrigerator with ice and filtered water, double-drawer dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and many other kitchen amenities. Also enjoy fresh farm eggs from our flock!

The open living room and dining area is full of windows and light with doors that connect to the outside patio and expansive yard. The outdoor dining area is a wonderful place to enjoy al fresco meals and relax around the fire pit while looking at the water and taking in a sunset.

There is an indoor wood burning fireplace as well as an outdoor Solo smokeless fire pit. The outdoor shower is a must after a long, sandy day at the beach.

Sanctuary House is located steps from the Cedar Tree Neck Sanctuary- the most beloved walking and hiking trails on the island. The trails wind through the forest and along the coastline offering spectacular ocean vista views along the way. Sanctuary House comes with a pass to Lambert’s Cove Beach- one of the most beautiful beaches on the island.

The truly unique experience while staying at Sanctuary House is the opportunity to enjoy the farm beauty- our 3 horses, flock of chickens and the iconic Martha’s Vineyard antique barn. Wake up to farm fresh eggs from our ladies and watch the horses grazing in the field while sipping your morning coffee or enjoying your evening cocktail.

Experience the ocean and farm magic of Martha's Vineyard at beautiful Sanctuary House.

It truly is a sanctuary. Our family was thrilled to be back and can’t wait to plan our next trip! Haven and Dan are the most wonderful hosts, the house is perfect and has everything you could want. And the location can’t be beat - ocean views, quiet, and miles of gorgeous walking trails right out the door! It’s a truly special place.

Amazing peaceful space

This is such a special place on the island. Peaceful, private, quiet and charming. Haven made sure our stay was memorable; we even had the freshest eggs imaginable in a basket awaiting our arrival. Haven spent some of her busy morning telling us about her farm and the chickens; we got a great education and got to meet “the girls”! I highly recommend this space. Was perfect for four adults.

Sanctuary Farm - lived up to our expectations

My recent stay at the charming rental property on the island was an absolute delight. When we arrived, it felt like stepping into a peaceful oasis where nature and tranquility embraced us. The Sanctuary Farm property's location was simply perfect. It offered easy access to various parts of the island, allowing us to explore the area effortlessly. Everything was within reach, whether we wanted to bask in the sun on Katama or Menemsha beach or venture into the various towns for local shopping and dining. What truly made our stay extraordinary was the incredible wildlife encounters we experienced right at the property. The sight of deer gracefully roaming the lower field, turkeys showcasing their majestic presence, and even catching a glimpse of a skunk hopping across the yard added an unexpected touch of excitement to our vacation. It felt like being in harmony with nature, immersing ourselves in its beauty and charm. The views of the horses and chickens were a fantastic distraction. The horses exuded grace and elegance, while the chickens provided a whimsical atmosphere with their lively presence. The daily interactions with these animals added a unique charm to our stay. The rental property itself was a haven of comfort and relaxation. We left with hearts full of cherished memories and a strong desire to return. If you're seeking a serene getaway that encapsulates the essence of the island, this property is undoubtedly the perfect choice.

Truly a sanctuary

Looking for relaxation and privacy? The sanctuary farm is for you. Lovely and kind hosts, all the little things thought of, enough decor to be very appealing but not cluttered so you have nowhere to put your things. Modern appliances but a rustic feel. Our fourth rental home in as many years, and by far our favorite! We’ll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Haven and Dan

Hello from our beautiful island! We're your hosts- Haven and Dan! We fell in love with Martha's Vineyard many years ago and finally moved to the island as year round residents in 2020. We live in Chilmark and offer our Sanctuary Farm home as a guest property. We adore Martha’s Vineyard and are thrilled to host people on this beautiful island. We live on the island so don't hesitate to reach out for anything you need. We will give you peace and quiet but contact us via text and we will take care of your needs and requests quickly!

Why they chose this property

Martha's Vineyard is known for spectacular summers and warm, sparkly falls but Sanctuary Farm and House are absolutely gorgeous any time of the year! Enjoy roaring fires in the fireplace and cook up meals from local meats, dairies and produce in the well appointed kitchen. Enjoy the slower pace of life, soaks in the hot tub, hikes in Cedar Tree Neck Sanctuary and watching the horses graze in their fields. It's a magical property that we are thrilled to be able to share.

What makes this property unique

Sanctuary House is located at the top of one of the most scenic roads on Martha's Vineyard and directly next to Cedar Tree Neck Sanctuary. The neighborhood is very quaint and quiet and the property is set on 2 private acres. While the house feels very remote, it's centrally located and a quick drive to grocery stores, town villages, beaches and restaurants.
