9 Airbnbs in Martha's Vineyard You Can Still Rent for Summer

Reported by Vogue.

Martha's Vineyard has always operated on its own frequency — quieter, more considered, less performative than its Hamptons counterpart. The island has long attracted a certain caliber of visitor, from Ted Danson to the Obamas, all of whom have called it home at one point or another. The draw is obvious: dramatic coastal landscapes, legendary raw bars, and those candy-colored gingerbread cottages in Oak Bluffs that look like a Nancy Meyers set designer went rogue. Yes, you'll need a flight or a ferry from Cape Cod to get there. That friction is, arguably, the point.

According to Vogue, the island's Airbnb market is quietly one of its best-kept secrets — and there are still listings available for this summer. The range is genuinely impressive. Nana's Treehouse in West Tisbury ($842/night) sits near Lambert's Cove Beach and Long Point Wildlife Refuge, with a bunkroom that'll make your kids forget screens exist. For the other end of the spectrum, a Waterfront Estate also in West Tisbury sleeps up to 10 across 5.5 acres, with a pool, hot tub, game room, farmhouse kitchen, and a separate guest house — ideal for the group trip that requires diplomatic sleeping arrangements.

For Every Vacation Personality

Couples should look hard at The Blueberry House in Chilmark ($774/night), a forested retreat tucked between Great Rock Bight Preserve and Menemsha Beach, complete with a deck built for a bottle of wine and zero interruptions. Design obsessives will gravitate toward a 1964 mid-century bungalow in Chilmark, built by architect Eliot Noyes, where low-slung furniture and deliberate pops of color replace every predictable piece of driftwood décor you've ever suffered through. Meanwhile, the Classic Vineyard Cottage in Tisbury ($762/night) pulls double duty for remote workers — dedicated office, long communal table, and walking distance to both the beach and the island's downtown Vineyard Haven.

If views are your non-negotiable, an eight-bedroom home perched on a bluff at the tip of West Chop delivers unobstructed panoramas of Vineyard Sound, with 500 feet of private beach exactly 50 steps from the front door — umbrellas and chairs included. For something with year-round range, Evelyn's House (circa 1909) in Chilmark comes with a wood-burning fireplace, complimentary kayak, and a fire pit that earns its keep well into October. Off-peak Martha's Vineyard is a genuinely underrated proposition, and this property makes the case beautifully.

The Vineyard has never needed to sell itself, and neither do these rentals — but if your summer still has an open slot, this is where to put it.
