Owners’ Note

We have been visiting Martha’s Vineyard every summer since our son was a toddler (he’s now in college). We have stayed in every town down island, each year or two finding a home that is a little bit more perfect than the last. Eventually we landed at a rental on Lagoon Pond, nestled between Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven. Once we experienced the glory of mornings and sunsets on the Lagoon, we knew we had found our perfect spot. 

As we considered purchasing a house on the Vineyard, we knew we had to be on the Oak Bluffs side of the Lagoon, but there are only so many homes on the stretch of Lagoon that we preferred. Truthfully, the idea of owning a house on the Lagoon felt like a dream—a little too good to ever become true. When we learned that 82 Springfield Avenue might be for sale, we knew THIS is what we have been waiting for.

We feel lucky and honored to have been fortunate to purchase 82 Springfield from its prior owners. The prior owners had beautifully renovated the 100 year-old house—turning a careful eye to detail, to elegance balanced by comfort, to an amazing fit with its unique location on the Lagoon. Sometimes you just know when something feels right. We knew from the first minute that 82 Springfield felt like home.

We hope that 82 Springfield feels like home to you too, if only for a stretch of time. But if you are like us, you will realize what a special piece of earth you have found on the Oak Bluffs side of Lagoon Pond and you will want to return to enjoy this terrific place year after year.

Enjoy,

Barb and Wayne (and Julian)
