Islander's Retreat - Vineyard Haven, MA

Beautiful and spacious, this Vineyard Haven vacation rental is a great place to escape with the entire family. With a tranquil atmosphere and gorgeous decks that give you the chance to watch the sunrise on one side, and watch it set on the other, there's nowhere better to hole up with your clan.

Located on the north side of the island, it's only two miles to the beach either heading north or east. Just a half-mile east are some adorable shops, like the Black Dog Cafe or the Heath Head Yarn & Quilt shop.

The inside of this home is absolutely stunning! Enormous picture windows allow light to stream into the living room, making it a pleasant place to spend the afternoon. Watch cable or a DVD, or use the WiFi to catch up on emails from home. Put some music on the stereo and grab a book off the shelf or relax with your loved ones, engage in a rousing game of pool or Ping-Pong, or play one of the children's games provided. When you get hungry, head to the kitchen to experiment with a new recipe.

In addition to all the usual cooking implements, the well-stocked kitchen has a bunch of fun tools to play with. Whip up your favorite morning beverage with the blender or coffeemaker, then toss some ingredients into the slow cooker for an easy and flavorful dinner that night. If you want to make an elaborate Sunday brunch, there's a mixer and waffle iron available. When you're done preparing your meal, use the dishwasher for an easy cleanup and have a seat at the breakfast bar or dining table. For younger guests, we have a high chair and booster seat. If you prefer to eat outside in the fresh air, there's patio furniture out there, as well as a gas grill for barbecues!

The bedrooms are impeccably decorated and sumptuous. Each of the three bedrooms have cohesive and individual color schemes and boast a queen bed, and one has a crib for the littlest of the children along. If you need a bit more space, the living room has twin Murphy beds where two more guests can sleep. In total, nine guests can comfortably enjoy this lovely house.

A private washer/dryer means that there's no need to overpack for longer stays. Don't stress over scheduling shower time - with three and a half bathrooms, you're unlikely to have a line.

There's plenty for everyone to enjoy in this adorable Northeastern town. There are two adult-size bikes in the garage, in case a couple of you want to visit Tisbury Town Beach or other local attractions via bicycle. Take a hike through Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary (but make sure to bring bug spray), enjoy the stunning view from the West Chop Lifehouse, and close out an eventful day with a movie at Martha's Vineyard Film Center.

While you're on the island, you'll want to spend a lot of time on the water! Schedule a boat tour so you can see the sea creatures up close, search for shellfish along the water, build an elaborate sandcastle, or just read a book on the beach and bask in the sun.
