    We were very pleased with this property. Our stay was truly enhanced by the interesting and helpful Abby and her associate. They served a good continenttal breakfast and even kept the dining room open 30 minutes after breakfast was officially over. The rooms are comfortable and well decorated and the location is perfectly located near the town and beach. It's cozy in the fall and the public areas are great to sit in and speak with the other guests. It is a wonderful place for small family reunion

    A very Pleased Guest

    If it were Valentine's Day I'd send flowers as a thank you for a wonderful stay. Four days are not enough. They found us interesting places to go, were kind and gracious to us and made us feel really welcome.

    A GREAT FIND

    I spent 5 days at The 1720 House and loved being there. The owner and her staff are all so willing to do everything to make guests happy and comfortable. The continental breakfast is delicious. The property has great charm.The 1720 House attracts a very interesting and intelligent group of people. One night the owner invited me to join a few of her friends for drinks and wonderful food. They were able to tell me about the "inside" things to do on the island. I can't wit to go again. Lots to do in the Fall.

    Great charm, good deal

    Abby Hirsch's B&B 1720 House, is a fantastic, charming deal, with a great garden, an unbelievably beautiful giant tree, porch and good natured service. The place is immaculate, with great tips on what's doing, where to eat, shop and laze. I stayed for a week, just to get away and I could not have been more cared for, left to my own devices when appropriate and helped out over and above standard service. Plus, I came without a car, walked from the ferry, walked to town (5 minutes), bus (great island-wide service) and used a cab a couple of times in the evening. The price was right, with a nice rate based on the length of my stay.

    Perfect place for Vineyard stay. Cozy, quiet and still very close to Main St.

    Jill and Abby were fantastic hosts. They went above and beyond, out of their way to make our comfort. We couldn't have asked for a better location! Seems like fantastic spot to hold a wedding or have a lovely family gathering up on the Vineyard.
