One of Chilmark's most stately and classic farmhouses,which has been thoughtfully and fashionably edited and updated with every modern comfort. The house is in a central location on South Road, behind stone walls and amidst large acreage. One can enjoy a brief walk or ride to a private beach on Chilmark's South shore. There is also easy access to Chilmark's famous Lucy Vincent Beach and Squibnocket Beach, with the purchase of a car or walk-on pass at the Chilmark Town Hall. Menemsha Fishing Village and Beach is just around the corner ,with interesting shops, fish markets and eateries.
There are four comfortable bedrooms, updated with antiques, paintings ,a bright color palette,and comfortable furnishings. A thoughtful renovation and reimagining includes, a gourmet's kitchen ,screened porch and sunny living room, two large living rooms in total,outdoor deck and patio, central AC and every amenity. There are large, comfortable spaces indoors and out for relaxation and fun. The location is conveniently situated between two nearby villages.

Further down South Road ,is Middleton Village with an Apothecary, Beauty Salon, offices, the popular State Road Restaurant, West Tisbury Post Office and Cronig's Up Island Market.
A short distance away, in the other direction, is Chilmark Center, Lucy Vincent Beach and Chilmark Community Center, Chilmark Store, Chilmark Chocolates and eateries, and a charming New England seaside village, called Menemsha, with fresh fish markets, shops,restaurants, food stands and a legendary sunset. A gate key provides access to private Hancock Beach on the South shore, and is only a few moments from the house, 8/10 mile down a sandy lane. It is definitely the icing on the cake! Blue Barque is a wonderful destination house for family and friends.A stunning , relaxing and fun place to enjoy your vacation.

Fantastic Family Vacation
We stayed at Blue Barque for a week over the 4th of July. The house itself is perfect - incredibly well stocked with everything you could need and plenty of space to stretch out. We loved the outdoor showers for when the kids came back from the beach and the yard was perfect for dinners outside and playing games. The best part of the rental, though, is the private beach access. The beach is never crowded and we made the best memories there. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Best vacation ever
Great house, clean and relaxing. The best location for a family vacation. Sitting in the hammock with a IPA while the golden Chilmark sun warmed me up wasn’t bad either

Win all around
We had a fabulous week at Blue Barque! The house is super comfortable for families - well appointed with everything you will need. Hancock beach is a treasure. My kiddos fished at Menemsha nightly. Looking forward to our next visit.
