I've been playing around with the new iPhone app Vine (now part of Twitter).  Here's a six second clip from a beautiful spring day on Dutcher Dock in Menemsha:

Cottage at Quitsa Pond - Martha's Vineyard Summer Rental

“It was fortunate that they did not get out to the open sea where grave dangers would have met them,” reports the Vineyard Gazettte. Late one afternoon in June, 1913 this cottage was placed on a scow and floated across Menemsha Pond by members of the Mayhew family. The sailors/movers lost their way in the darkness and fog but somehow managed to make land. And now nearly 100 years later this charming summer home captures stunning views of Quitsa and Menemsha Ponds. Three bedrooms, one bath, viewing decks.

Antique Farmhouse on Martha's Vineyard

Oceanfront Homes on Martha's Vineyard

Strange as it may seem, there aren't very many oceanfront homes on the island of Martha's Vineyard. Building and development along the coastline is regulated and rare...which goes a long way in keeping this island the paradise that it is. Three oceanfront homes in Chilmark are new to market this summer. All sited on three plus acres of land with spectacular views:

Squibnocket Farm Road - 12+ Acres - 4BR/3BA - details here:

Day's End...Gay Head (Aquinnah) Martha's Vineyard

Fairfield County Carpenter / Contractor / Caretaker

I recently purchased an older home in Westport, Connecticut.  The original structure dates back to 1929 and there have been a number of renovations over the years.  Lucky for me I know Andrew Lee a carpenter that I had met over a dozen years ago when I owned a home in the neighboring town of Weston.  Andrew excels at both big and small projects, is reasonably priced and, above all, honest.  Do you have a project that needs attention in Fairfield County?  Andrew is your man.  Call me or write for details.
