We loved our stay at the Sanctuary House. The house itself was so beautiful - it had the farmhouse feel with modern touches and appliances. The view off the back deck was amazing and we enjoyed a lot of our time out there. We loved having the horses and chickens out front to say hi to as we came and left! We hope to come back and enjoy another stay at this lovely property!

This property is an absolute gem ! The house is very well equipped, and in perfect condition. The view of the sunset is beautiful and the place is very quiet. The host are very responsive and helpful (we had an issue with the grill, they got it replaced with a brand new one... within 1 hour !!). Will definitely come back !

Tranquil and restorative location. Ac in all rooms. Modern kitchen. Entire interior appears recently updated. Nicely isolated property giving you lots of privacy. The only other companions on the property are two horses, a pony, and chickens!I’d go back without question.

Thoughtful in every detail and spotlessly clean, this is a lovely place to spend time with family (or friends). Whether hanging out in front of a fire in the livingroom, watching movies, using the hottub, or gathering on the terrace with views of the ocean, every space was easy and comfortable for a group. THANK YOU for sharing this beautiful home!

House was in a great location with everything you could possibly want/need. Our kids had a blast walking over to see the horses and the ability to get a parking pass to the beach was a great perk. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Haven and Dan’s home is amazing ! The patio is set up beautifully and overlooking fields and the ocean. The sunsets were spectacular. I would like to have cooked more often as the kitchen was all state of the art appliances with all cookware available and ocean view . The house itself is just perfect , wide pine floors throughout , wonderful living room with such a comfortable sofa and large tv. My family mostly sat outside but also enjoyed the dining room . To have horses and chickens right there on the property made us all so happy , especially my horse rider daughter . The hot tub was our every night ritual and we could watch the light after the sunset and then the fireflies appear . So many beautiful houses don’t allow pets but Haven and Dan do . Our golden retriever absolutely loved it ! Even though it’s down a long road and so perfectly quiet everything you could want is nearby . We can’t wait to return .

We loved our stay at Sanctuary Farm! The house is so cozy with amazing views and beautiful touches. Haven and Dan were very responsive, kind and even left us goodies from the farm, wine and wood for the fireplace. I highly recommend staying there if you get the chance. We'd love to come back one day!

The property is very beautiful, with a lovely ocean view. Everything was extremely clean. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. There is a lovely patio with a view of the ocean, which can also be seen from the dining area. The house is an antique farmhouse which is very aesthetic. The horses and chickens are charming.Guests should be aware of a few things:- The primary bedroom has a ceiling skylight with no shade, so it's very bright in the morning.- The primary bedroom is very large, but the other 3 bedrooms are very small.- The upstairs 3 bedrooms have sloping ceilings so feel even smaller.- The only bathroom on the 1st floor is through the kitchen and through the primary bedroom, so anyone wanting to use the 1st floor bathroom has to travel through the primary bedroom.- The owners are on-site at the barn twice a day to take care of the horses. Although they are very quiet and discreet, if you want complete privacy this is not a good choice.

We had an amazing trip to the Sanctuary House this Spring just before tourist season on Martha's Vineyard. Its location in West Tisbury was a welcome change from the vibes of Oak Bluffs or Edgartown, and it is nestled amongst a few beautiful farms and overlooks the water in the distance. The island was still very quiet, but there were great amenities for cooking and enjoying family meals on the property such that we were not at all reliant on restaurants being open. The bedrooms were very comfortable, particularly the master suite on the first floor. Can't recommend staying here enough!

This place and the hosts could not have been better for our white Christmas stay on the Vineyard. From the welcoming Xmas decorations to the farm fresh eggs, local chocolates and wine waiting for us, this place also has great views and vibes. The owners worked with us as ferry schedules changed due to a winter storm and were responsive during our stay but left us alone to enjoy the beautiful property and nearby walking trails that our dog especially enjoyed. We hope to be back during the summer but winter here was super relaxing and highly recommended.

We had the best possible stay at Sanctuary Farm with our three kids. Dan and Haven are the kindest, warmest hosts, and the house is beautiful. Our kids loved seeing the animals every day and riding bikes down the quiet roads. The location next to hiking trails and with water views can't be beat. An absolute gem, and we will be back!

Tranquil and restorative location. Ac in all rooms. Modern kitchen. Entire interior appears recently updated. Nicely isolated property giving you lots of privacy. The only other companions on the property are two horses, a pony, and chickens!I’d go back without question.

Cannot say enough things about this property! We absolutely loved our stay. The house is beautiful and so cozy. The property is gorgeous - from the views to the horses! It's right next to wonderful hiking trails, including some that take you right to the ocean. Haven and Dan could not have been more gracious hosts - so warm and welcoming and Haven was especially kind to introduce my son to the horses and chickens - the highlight of his trip. This house lives up to it's name as a sanctuary!

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.

Haven and Dan’s home is amazing ! The patio is set up beautifully and overlooking fields and the ocean. The sunsets were spectacular. I would like to have cooked more often as the kitchen was all state of the art appliances with all cookware available and ocean view . The house itself is just perfect , wide pine floors throughout , wonderful living room with such a comfortable sofa and large tv. My family mostly sat outside but also enjoyed the dining room . To have horses and chickens right there on the property made us all so happy , especially my horse rider daughter . The hot tub was our every night ritual and we could watch the light after the sunset and then the fireflies appear . So many beautiful houses don’t allow pets but Haven and Dan do . Our golden retriever absolutely loved it ! Even though it’s down a long road and so perfectly quiet everything you could want is nearby . We can’t wait to return .

We had an amazing trip to the Sanctuary House this Spring just before tourist season on Martha's Vineyard. Its location in West Tisbury was a welcome change from the vibes of Oak Bluffs or Edgartown, and it is nestled amongst a few beautiful farms and overlooks the water in the distance. The island was still very quiet, but there were great amenities for cooking and enjoying family meals on the property such that we were not at all reliant on restaurants being open. The bedrooms were very comfortable, particularly the master suite on the first floor. Can't recommend staying here enough!

We had an amazing time at the Sanctuary! The view to the ocean is out of this world. Saw an amazing sunset over the ocean. Loved the fresh eggs and the wine that Dan and Haven left us. Very sweet touch. Would highly recommend this house.

This place and the hosts could not have been better for our white Christmas stay on the Vineyard. From the welcoming Xmas decorations to the farm fresh eggs, local chocolates and wine waiting for us, this place also has great views and vibes. The owners worked with us as ferry schedules changed due to a winter storm and were responsive during our stay but left us alone to enjoy the beautiful property and nearby walking trails that our dog especially enjoyed. We hope to be back during the summer but winter here was super relaxing and highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Sanctuary Farm! The house is so cozy with amazing views and beautiful touches. Haven and Dan were very responsive, kind and even left us goodies from the farm, wine and wood for the fireplace. I highly recommend staying there if you get the chance. We'd love to come back one day!

The property is very beautiful, with a lovely ocean view. Everything was extremely clean. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. There is a lovely patio with a view of the ocean, which can also be seen from the dining area. The house is an antique farmhouse which is very aesthetic. The horses and chickens are charming.Guests should be aware of a few things:- The primary bedroom has a ceiling skylight with no shade, so it's very bright in the morning.- The primary bedroom is very large, but the other 3 bedrooms are very small.- The upstairs 3 bedrooms have sloping ceilings so feel even smaller.- The only bathroom on the 1st floor is through the kitchen and through the primary bedroom, so anyone wanting to use the 1st floor bathroom has to travel through the primary bedroom.- The owners are on-site at the barn twice a day to take care of the horses. Although they are very quiet and discreet, if you want complete privacy this is not a good choice.

This pet-friendly farm was ideal for our family vacation! The hot tub was a hit, and you can’t beat the view from almost every room in the house. We loved visiting the horses and chickens, taking hikes along the trails right near the house and playing in the large yard. The beds were comfy and the hosts were helpful and quick to respond. We would absolutely stay here again!
