The Birdhouses

Three clean, well-maintained cottages furnished in crisp blue & white. A good choice if you want the privacy and convenience of staying in your own small home. It's unusual to find furnished houses to rent for less than a week — but visitors willing to do some housekeeping keeps rates affordable, eliminating extra cleaning fees and maid service.

Come to the Vineyard for the glorious, clean, free beaches, fishing from shore or charter boats in unpolluted waters, sailing, wind-surfing, bicycling, hiking, kayaking, museums, restaurants, art galleries, shopping, and exploring the 3 lovely down-island towns, Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. Martha's Vineyard still remains an old-fashioned, authentic place, much of it still rural (no neon, fast-food, strip malls, billboards, highways, or traffic lights) where active days spent on walking trails, at the beach, or on the water, end with dinner and a stroll around town with an ice-cream.
