The house was exactly what we want in a Vineyard rental— a lovely nod to how vacation homes used to be before private equity took over the market and filled everything with Amazon furnishings. Wayside is absolutely charming and in a spectacular location. It was a special visit and we are also so grateful we could bring our dog along too. Will rent again!
Great spot, walkable to Memensha beach and beautiful sunsets. House was spacious and had everything needed, but for fridge that wasn’t working and washing machine that we couldn’t figure out how to work. Great food options all within a few minutes walk from the house. Overall, a great place that made for a fun week.
This place is a nightmare!
This small house provided a big relief in our trip. Located steps from the best lobster roll in town and about a block from the water, this is a FANTASTIC spot for getting away.
We loved our time at the Wayside Camp. It’s like a step back in time. It’s a classic Cineyard cottage in the heart of Menemsha. In cooler days we kept the windows open for a great breeze. On the hotter days we had to use the box ACs.
Great outdoor area. Close to beach and fish markets. Quaint, simply, rustic. We enjoyed out stay. If you are looking for a no frills place to stay in a great area and close to the beach then this is for you. It was perfectly suitable for us. Only negatives is that the second floor becomes extremely hot and the bathroom light did not work despite changing the bulb.
