The Inkwell Beach House is a lovely place for a weekend getaway.
This was my first time to the Island and I knew I wanted to stay at a Black owned property if possible. My expectations were certainly exceeded.
Colleen (I think she is the House Manager) was absolutely amazing. She makes you feel at home. She was there to welcome me and offer suggestions on restaurants and activities in the area as well as surrounding towns.
The Owner of the Property ( who owns Narragansett House, Dunmere by the Sea, and the artistic boutique Jubilee MV on Circuit Ave) was very welcoming also. She was kind enough to open her private home so we could watch the Knicks win the Championship. Talk about community.
The other staff was so sweet and helpful. They prepared a delicious breakfast for us daily. The porch was certainly the highlight for me where guests could gather and interact with one another. The view to the ocean and the location to Circuit is unbeatable.
This is a historic 12 room home. If you are looking for modern, updated amenities, this isn't the place for you. If you want feel connected to the cottage life then this is for you. If you are looking for community but still able to have some solo time- this is for you.
I highly recommend checking out the African American Heritage tour, the free bus rides around to other towns, and the taking advantage of riding the bikes. The property has beach towels and yoga mats also (Yoga and the Polar Plunge are activities you can inquire about also).
I felt safe and cared for and I know this isn't my last time to Martha's Vineyard. read more
