Scenic Martha's Vineyard is a top travel destination for so many reasons. The six stunning towns that make up the island are filled with beautiful beaches, fantastic restaurants, and lots of fun activities. But where is the best place to stay on the Vineyard? While there are lots of wonderful hotels and rentals on the island, I personally enjoy vacationing at a place with a bit of history. If you are looking for a rental property in West Tisbury, I have found a gorgeous historic Airbnb that is actually a former church! The Lambert Cove Church is the perfect spot for a relaxing seaside getaway.
The Lambert Cove Church is an amazing rental that sleeps up to six guests. The historic church was built in 1846. It was one of the island’s oldest Methodist churches and welcomed worshipers for over 150 years. It has since been preserved and renovated and is now a unique Airbnb that offers guests the perfect mix of modern amenities and historic charm.
When you book a stay at the Lambert Cove Church, you will have access to both the church and the parsonage. The church portion of the rental is an open-concept space that includes a king-sized bed, a dining area, a comfortable living space, and a kitchenette. The owners have preserved the church’s antique tin ceiling and original light fixtures. You can even ring the church bell!
And check out this modern bathroom. Talk about luxurious! It also has a soaking tub where you can relax after a day at the beach.
Wander over to the parsonage and you will find two more bedrooms and two bathrooms.
This two-story building also has a cozy living room, a full kitchen, and a dining area.
A Vineyard rental wouldn’t be complete without a beautiful outdoor space. The Lambert Cove Church has a spacious patio, fire pit, and BBQ. It is a great spot for enjoying your morning coffee or relaxing with cocktails at the end of the day.
You will also find plenty to keep you busy during your stay on the Vineyard. The Airbnb is stocked with lots of toys, books, and games. It also includes the use of beach essentials and bicycles. Popular Lambert's Cove Beach is just a short walk from the property.
While you are in West Tisbury, be sure to visit Alley’s General Store and the
