Makonikey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Makonikey is a rural neighborhood on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, that lies on the border of Tisbury (also known as Vineyard Haven) and West Tisbury. The Tisbury section is called Lower Makonikey, and the West Tisbury section is called Upper Makonikey. The neighborhood lies between Lambert's Cove Road and the Vineyard Sound, near Makonikey Point. It is a 7-10 minute drive from the center of Vineyard Haven.
The area is semi-rural, with houses located on lots of greater than 3 acres. The general feeling is that of "Up Island" even though the location is right on the edge of "Down Island". The winding dirt roads through the woods can be quite confusing, so most residents have affixed signs to direct visitors and delivery people to their houses. These signs are usually in the form of some local animal or object.
