Yet, it offers a quiet retreat, close to all the town's amenities without being in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Noteworthy is the involvement of Island architect Jaime Weisman in the addition, ensuring thoughtful design and execution.

It represents a rare opportunity to continue a legacy of creating memories in a setting that combines the best of Martha's Vineyard's natural beauty and cultural richness.
