We built the original house in 1971…

And we have lived here, year-round, ever since.

In 1989 we fully renovated the house and added on to make it a bright, clean and airy seven-room inn. The building has always had an a enormous wrap-around covered porch on the east and north side that, along with the other common areas and lawns, gives proper space for us and our guests to enjoy a leisurely atmosphere for a relaxed breakfast, an afternoon drink, or a snooze in the hammocks.

Our name speaks to our location.

At the western tip of the Island, a quiet, private place, considered to be the best the Vineyard can offer. A place where our guests have direct access to the Vineyard’s best beaches and landscapes. All our rooms enjoy great views, private baths, full phone service and color television if desired. Seasonally, the Vineyard offers a diverse choice of sights and activities that include great walking trails, sportfishing (both beach and boat), windsurfing, excellent biking (on and off road), birding, beaches for waves, beaches for wading, and while these things are available all over the Vineyard, most can be enjoyed right on or from our property.

Our kitchen serves spectacular food in an intimate setting.

Enjoy it in our dining room or on the porch overlooking the property. Glorious herb and vegetable gardens supply the restaurant. We have built a home and life here in Aquinnah that we are proud to share and the Outermost Inn gives us the opportunity to show our guests what we believe to be the best of Martha’s Vineyard, a bit of her real quality of life.
