Spectacular waterfront, private dock and beach, A/C
Edgartown Vacation Rental - ID 15893

We just want you to know that we had an amazing time enjoying this house and it's surroundings. Oh my gosh: the beauty!! It's startling at first. And every time we returned from an adventure else where, that sensation came back: "How can we be this lucky?"

We spent 90% of our waking hours outside…how could you not? Our 2 1/2 year old grandson, got one of us down to the dock most morning by 6:30 to look at birds, listen to early morning sounds and throw rocks into the water. His day always ended with an evening walk/trot back down to throw more rocks and say goodnight to the moon, which became full and hazy orange at the end of our stay. He became a much more confident swimmer there ( with his floatation vests) and loved every bit of the natural world he encountered including the cattails, marsh land and birds in tidal pools on the way down. When the toddler is happy on vacation….. everyone's happy!

I could go on and on. But the point is we are ever so grateful for the opportunity to rent this home. We've been coming to the Vineyard for 60 some years, renting most of my childhood and then renting again after we had to sell the home in West Tisbury where my parents retired from DC. In all of those years, I've never stayed at a place that made me feel so much a part of the wilds, the marine ecosystem, on the Island. I left feeling renewed and more at peace…..which is no small miracle in our world these days. And we were so glad our kids, grandkid and my siblings got a chance to experience this beauty as well.

This was our fifth summer spending time at Cindy's home, and it truly gets better every year. We love all that the home has to offer, including the house itself, the views, the plentiful beach gear and the kitchen that is well-stocked. Every year when we arrive, we start with a nice meal cooked on the grill and enjoy the views from the amazing screened-in porch, where we eat practically every meal. We also keep discovering more and more ways to enjoy the home and its access to Sengekontacket Pond and State Beach. We always rent kayaks (and bring SUPs), and just enjoy paddling around the pond, under the bridge, and into the open water. This year we also took full advantage of the proximity to some amazing local biking trails and had daily lawn games in the large backyard. This place is simply the best and we can't wait for next summer!

We enjoyed another amazing vacation at Cindy's home! The location is beautiful with our own private dock and picnic area on the water.
The house is modern and beautifully maintained as well as the grounds and the large back yard.
We especially love the screened in porch for our big family dinners!
It is a slice of heaven and we look forward to renting this property for many years to come!

This house could not have provided a better experience. The house was comfortable and had plenty of space for everyone. The location was centrally located so we could do all of our favorite things and visit all our favorite places. Owner was great to work with. Our family will never forget this exceptional summer vacation!

This home was perfection - just what we were looking for in a summer getaway with our kids. The home was comfortable, spacious, well appointed and every need provided for. The backyard is sensational. Gorgeous porch (outdoor and screened), huge yard, and then a magical maze through trees, across a bridge, over the water on the dock... its just incredible. We couldn't have imagined anything better, and Cindy made sure we knew everything we needed to about coming to MV well in advance, and was available to answer questions all along the way,

Our family loved everything about this beautiful home and property. Just walking in, I caught my breath. The art pieces in every room are stunning. The furnishings are extremely comfortable and everything we could possible need was on hand. We played croquet on the lawn, did puzzles, and played games when we weren't exploring or kayaking on the pond. Rental kayaks were the perfect addition. The owner was incredibly helpful and conscientious, and we will definitely return for another relaxing vacation.

The home is everything we would have hoped for, and more. The property is fantastic, with huge yard for the kids and the access to water (kids were fishing off the dock, and we brought a SUP). The home is so well maintained, with a kitchen stocked with everything you could want. The screened in porch was a lovely perk, to enjoy the beautiful evenings bug free. The home was exceptionally clean as well! A special home, and one we hope to return to!

My husband and I are yearly visitors to MV but this year had to be one of our favorite trips yet, all thanks to Cindy's incredible home. Trips look a little different than years' past as we now have two young children and travel with "The Grandmas" and extended family (with more kids) for extra support and this was THE perfect house to accommodate us all. First off, the location is prime. Smack dab in the middle of Edgartown and Oak Bluffs, it's an easy, quick drive to either town (without the usual Island traffic). The house itself was not only beautifully decorated and spacious (and clean!) but we all kept saying "this is the ultimate house for entertaining". Anything you could've needed during your MV vacation, the house already had it! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the back deck overlooking the water, watching the kids play in the backyard with endless toys that Cindy and her family graciously provided, and ending our days/nights grilling and playing games in the screened in porch off the back deck. The private island with the little beach was a hit with the kids and we loved taking the floaties out there to just drift around in the water. It was hard to leave this house after the week was over but Cindy made the whole experience so easy and pleasant and we can't thank her and her family enough for sharing their home with us!

We had a lovely time on the Vineyard at Cindy's home. Lots for space for all of us to spread out and enjoy the views of Jaws bridge and lots of wildlife. The bedroom situation was a little wonky. The children's twin bedroom is in between two queen sized rooms. Meaning the kids had to walk thru the adult rooms to get to theirs. Probably fine for younger kids but it was weird for our teens. The waterfront was great! The walkway to the dock and the clear waters were lovely. FYI the property is directly next to an active gun club.

The access of the property to the Pond was a big selling point. We rented paddle boards and kayaks to take full advantage of the location. We kept going to the dock at all times of the day to sit and soak in the changing moods of the Pond. Saw some beautiful sunrises! The house was everything Cindy promised it would be. It was a pleasure to gather in the kitchen, the Great Room, on the deck and in the screened-in porch. We had visited MV several times to stay with my brother in the Katama area and always said: "We should rent a house and have our whole smallish family come". We finally did it! My brother's family came over for group meals and we went to his house for the same. Much more fun than going to a restaurant and we were free too laugh loudly and continuously. The house had everything we needed! We left with many great memories of seeing our relatives from Virginia, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, New York and New Jersey! We appreciated that a wonderful place was being shared with us!

This was our second time renting Cindy and Ken's home, and it seemed even better than before, as it was so nice to return to a place that we had loved so much the prior summer. Our second vacation here was just as perfect!

Starting with the (very necessary!) pre-arrival reminder in the spring to make our ferry reservation, the pre-arrival guide to their home and the Vineyard, the well stocked pantry, and all the toys and supplies for beach adventures and lawn games, one feels well prepared to simply relax and enjoy all the natural beauty that surrounds you.

We are a paddling family, so with a few rented kayaks and SUPs, we practically never felt the need to leave. When we did venture out by bike (there are so many places easily and enjoyably accessed by bike) or by car, returning back for a swim in the warm waters was the highlight of everyone's trip.

We are already looking forward to next year!

We had a fantastic week at Cindy's home in Edgartown. The pictures do not do this home justice - every single room is stunning and beautifully decorated. Even on Day 7 I was noticing things in the home that I hadn't noticed before - everything was unique and really well done.

Cindy was a fantastic host - from the day we booked her home right up until we left. She checked in, answered any questions, and really made sure that our time in her home was perfect.

We rented kayaks and paddle boards for the week, and I would highly encourage any future renters to do the same. It's a perfect spot for these activities and a wonderful way to spend some time every morning or afternoon. This home is conveniently located between Edgartown and Oak Bluffs, and we spent plenty of time in both towns. We did more cooking this vacation than usual, and that's because the kitchen was so well appointed, and there were so many gorgeous places that the family could gather for a meal (the screened porch area, the back patio, the beautiful dining room).

I can honestly say that this was the best rental experience I have ever had - I hope to return to Cindy's home again in the future!

Our family has been coming to Martha's Vineyard for years and this was the first time staying at Cindy and Ken's home. The home is perfect for multigenerational family gatherings - there is a huge back yard with plenty of space for kids to run around, and easy access to the water.

We rented kayaks and paddle boards for the week and a lot of the time we didn't even want to leave the house because of the great swimming there is right in the back yard. The home is beautifully kept, plenty of space, bathrooms attached to every bedroom and the screened in porch for outdoor meals was so useful. If you're an early riser, waking up to see the sunrise over the water was incredible. Thank you Cindy and Ken for such a great week.

If you are looking for a place to stay that has something for everyone in your family this is the home for your next family vacation. If a day at the beach is where you are headed both State Beach and South Beach are a 5-10 minute car ride, or better yet, hop on the bike paths up the road to either beach. Want something different? Walk down their dock on Sengekontacket Pond for a swim, paddle boarding, kayaking or just to take in the beautiful view. And unlike most vacation homes this one has an expansive back yard perfect for playing any yard game you can imagine.

The house itself is elegant but with a laid back vibe. The kitchen is stocked with every utensil and gadget you could want. The back patio has plenty of seating and looks out onto the back yard and pond. One of our favorite rooms is their large outdoor screened-in dining area with an expansive table and chairs and the perfect place to catch up on everyone's adventures.

We cannot say enough about our experience and comfort at this beautiful Edgartown home! After renting for 13 years elsewhere, this was the best appointed (and cleanest) house we have ever set foot. The owners have outdone themselves with details that guests might need: Q-tips, first-aide kits, large dishes for entertaining, cloth placements/napkins, toys/games, beach equipment, beach bags and the like. For our family, we love to cook and used to have to transport knives, cheese graters, a food processor to other homes - not in this home. You will have everything you need to whip up a gourmet meal, including Al-Clad pots and pans. The bathrooms are large, new and modern - plenty of room to have your own space. The master bedroom is gigantic with two closets, dressers, hamper and a large master bath plus a deck overlooking the pond. There are two good-size bedrooms with queen beds and one small bedroom with two twin beds. All beautifully decorated and spotless. Laundry is in the basement.

First floor has a full bathrooms, a den/TV room that has doors so kids or adults can have their own space while the larger living room off the kitchen has another TV or sounds system where we streamed music while we cooked. A huge deck is off the back of the home with plenty of seating plus a screened in porch with more seating for evening when the bugs are out. The yard is huge in both the front and back of the house and it's a quick 2 min walk over the dock to the "island" where we rented kayaks for access to the pond. We did swim in the pond but also kayaked over to the state beach (it took less than 10 minutes to do this) and enjoyed the beach over there as well.

The house is very quiet, situated between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. We brought our bikes and accessed the bike path many times just a few blocks from the home. I highly recommend this place for families who want privacy, quick access via driving or biking to two town, and love water sports.

This home is pristine, well appointed and beautifully decorated with all mediums of "Island" artwork! We are a family of four, so the three suites upstairs worked out perfectly. There is also an additional room upstairs with two twin beds and a full bath downstairs that guests can use. Its location worked out perfectly for biking, kayaking,a morning walk, a beach trip, or entertaining. Thanks for making our family vacation relaxing and memorable!

We loved every minute of our vacation at Cindy and Ken's home, and truly felt like special guests. From the pre-arrival reminder in the spring to make our ferry reservation to the pre-arrival guide to their home and the Vineyard, we felt very prepared to enjoy every minute of our trip.

The stocked pantry (we cooked almost every meal to enjoy on the beautiful screened in porch and had everything we could need) and the stocked shed with all the necessary gear for beach adventures and lawn games both allowed us to just relax and enjoy their lovely home. There were also a plethora of towels, which was very nice with all of our water adventures. We rented canoes, kayaks, and a sail boat that we enjoyed launching from the dock, and even got in some good fishing too.

Traveling across the pond to State Beach was a daily paddle that we loved, and the nice in the warm water of the pond made it even more enjoyable. We enjoyed venturing out to see other parts of the Vineyard, but always felt a tinge of regret that we we could have been spending more time in the hammock (of course, the waves at South Beach are awesome and so much fun for the kids and adults!).

I literally couldn't have asked for anything more and we hope to be back again!

Great house with everything you might need!

This is such a beautiful home! The location with it being on the water and a kayaks trip to jaws bridge is super delightful. The house is completely stocked from top to bottom… more utensils ..blankets ..pillows.. towels… than one ever needs!! It's truly a home … And very well cultivated.

Beautiful location. This is our second year there and we definitely will be coming back… the owner is marvelous reaching out within hours of arrival… & hours of departure.. ..And returned text messages almost immediately if any questions asked. We loved our stay!

I can not thank Cindy and Ken enough for sharing their beautiful home on the water with us. This house truly has it all! The kitchen is well equipped with anything and everything you could want. We have toddler twins who enjoyed the shallow beach on the pond and our older girls loved finding crabs, oysters and mussels.

The barn had plenty of outdoor toys, games, floats, etc to use. It's an easy bike ride into town if you ever want to venture out. We rented kayaks and paddle boards to be delivered and they were delivered right to the beach!

Every single room in this house is beautifully decorated and the sheets and towels are just like at home. This rental is the most luxurious home we have ever spent the week in. Cindy supplied us with everything we needed for an amazing vacation on Martha's Vineyard!

This is the perfect house to spend your vacation in! Enjoy!!!! Honestly I don't know how we could stay anywhere else on the vineyard when we return!

Cindy and her house delivered again! The house was perfect as usual - clean upon arrival, well stocked, and updated with new sheets, etc.

Cindy gets a gold star for her upkeep and communication. Renting kayaks, a stand up paddle, and sunfish from WindsUp was super easy - all delivered before arrival and picked up after we left. We cooked most of the time, and Cindy's kitchen had more than enough supplies!

We will be back!

We recently stayed at Cindy's and are so happy to have found this retreat. The house is accurately described, and Cindy was very helpful before and during our stay. The property is large and provides places for guests to relax individually, while the open floor plan downstairs provides a great place for gathering. We rented all sorts of water equipment from Winds Up and kept ourselves busy on the pond all day (the beach is also a short kayak ride away). We cooked every night and Cindy's kitchen is well stocked with everything. The house appliances are high end - it feels more like a "home" than a rental. The location near Edgartown and the grocery store is great, but the property feels very secluded, providing a nice mix of town and relaxation. We will be back, and we highly recommend this rental!

This house was perfect in every way and Cindy is a superb host who provides meticulous instructions and lots of valuable information. We were two families of 4 people and we spent a glorious week at the house. It is ideally situated in a secluded location in the woods and on the water, but still a short drive or bike ride to Edgartown. The house is beautiful, very comfortable and impeccably maintained, with views of the water from most of the rooms and a range of outdoor spaces to enjoy, including expansive decks, a spacious screened-in porch, and Adirondack chairs around the property. The kitchen is very well stocked and has everything you could possibly need for cooking.  If you like boating, having the pond with ocean access in your backyard is wonderful. We were on the pond every day in the boats that we rented for the week. Even if you don't spend time in the water, the views from the dock are breathtaking. You will never tire of them.

If you want to escape to an idyllic, serene refuge, this is the place for you. Thank you Cindy for a vacation that exceeded
our expectations.

This is a fantastic rental property. The house is well stocked, clean, and very comfortable. You can't beat the screened in porch for outdoor dining, and the beautiful views from both decks. The yard is spacious and great for lawn games. The dock is so much fun for crabbing, clamming, and kayaking. We rented a boat so we could ferry kids to the beach and do some serious fishing. The house is close to stores, beaches, town, and the bike path. Cindy is very responsive and does a great job communicating. We will be back!

This was our 3rd year staying at this gorgeous home and this year didn't disappoint! The house is elegant yet comfortable. Everything is in pristine shape inside and out. We have a growing family and the house comfortably accommodates three adult couples and two children.

We woke up to beautiful ocean views and enjoyed great family dinners out on the spacious screen porch. This spot is magical....a wonderful retreat!

This property has something for everyone. Our family ranges in age from 12 to 80 and one with four legs and everyone was extremely happy with this property. Its proximity to Edgertown allowed for quick trips to shopping and dining options. For those of us not comfortable with being in public (because of Covid) the house offered the perfect retreat to just sit back and relax. The kids made numerous trips across the pond to hit and beach and jump off of Jaws Bridge. The house was well appointed and we really appreciated the access to small things thing spices, paper goods, and cleaning supplies (usually things you have to schlep along with you or buy when renting a house). The owners were also extremely thorough in their communications and made the overall renting process very easy. Overall, a 10/10.

This was our first stay at Cindy and Ken's home and hopefully not our last. We are a family of five with three adult children. The property itself is stunning and unique. We spent much of our time on the dock and pond, boating, swimming and enjoying the sunsets. The location is centrally located with easy access to all parts of the island. The interior of the home was just as impressive. The finishings and fixtures are all top notch as were the quality of the linens and towels. It was very humid our week and the air conditioning provided a welcome relief.

We ate at home most evenings on the wonderful screened in porch and appreciated the well stocked kitchen and clean grill. Our son needed to work remotely for a few days and the internet connection worked flawlessly. Cindy and Ken's attention to detail and thoughtfulness towards their guest's experience truly shows, and is the reason we highly recommend this rental.

My family was so looking forward to getting away and relaxing for a week during the pandemic. We felt fortunate to come across Cindy and Ken's home in Edgartown. It was the perfect place to unwind. We had 6 adults and needed a roomy house to spread out. A few of us needed to spend a few hours working and were able to find great wi-fi and plenty of quiet space. We spent almost every evening cooking dinner together and the well-equipped kitchen met all of our needs. During the day, we often spent time reading or sleeping in the shade outside. Dinners in the screened-in porch were one of the highlights of our stay. The home was exactly as advertised. Everything was spotlessly clean. Cindy was incredibly helpful and responsive whenever we had questions. My family would be very happy to stay here again in the future.

This is the second time (and hopefully not the last) that we have rented this beautiful house! The location is great and the property can't be beat! We have traveled to many places but the sunset off the dock at Cindy's house is one of the best we have ever seen. The house is very well maintained and equipped with everything you will need. The screened in porch is the perfect place to have dinner with water views. If you are looking for a private retreat in a tranquil setting this is the place.

The property is absolutely amazing with access to a private beach and dock. The house is in immaculate condition; each bedroom have its own bathroom. For those who love birds, you will have never ending watching from the comfort of the living room or on the dock right at the water. All in all this is a great vacation home right on the water.

Our family stayed at Cindy and Ken's home this past June 2020. Great Hosts. We all had an excellent time, with zero complaints from my 8 and 10 yr olds who are highly critical of vacation stays. The property was excellent, well cared for and exceptionally clean. We had fabulous vacation stay and look forward to a return visit next year.
Thank you, Cindy and Ken.

This was our third visit to Cindy and Ken’s home on the Vineyard. The house Is ideally located on Sengecontacket Pond with an amazing view. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped, there are fresh herbs available in the yard and the new screened in porch was ideal for our 8 person dinner. The home is very well maintained and is an ideal choice for a Martha’s Vineyard vacation.

My family has been vacationing on the Vineyard for the past 20 years and this was by far the best place we have stayed. It is a gorgeous home inside and out with amazing views of the water from the house. We enjoyed walking across the footbridge to the Island and pond with daily kayak trips over to State Beach. The property is beautifully maintained and the decor inside is modern and upscale. Also we really appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was with everything a big family needs! It is truly a slice of heaven! We have already planned our vacation at this house next year.

This particular rental is exceptional. Our family consisted of 6 adults and 2 children, There was plenty of room and plenty of privacy as well. Each couple had their own bathroom. That was critical for us. Some of us slept late. Some got up early. The 'pirate' themed kid's bedroom was a delight! The main floor had a yellow-ducky themed bathroom with a large, tiled, walk-in shower. The outdoor shower was a real convenience as well. We ate 'in' 4 days out of 7. The beautiful, screened in porch made family style dinners a pleasure.

The grounds were well maintained and beautifully landscaped. But, the height of fun was walking that long dock and finding a sloping, sandy beach. Easy to put in the kayaks and terrific for the kids. I would mention though, that neoprene water shoes are essential. There are clams and mussels one could get cut on. Just an aside; my husband uses a small scooter if there's any long distances to walk. Much to our delight, he was able to go right down the dock on the scooter! Once there at the beach, there's a picnic table and 2 comfortable Adirondack chairs. We spent a quiet day down there while the rest of the clan went exploring. I highly recommend this rental. The home is beautifully decorated while allowing for real living with a large family with kids. It's well supplied with beach towels, beach chairs, coolers and toys. One could happily stay at this rental and not go anywhere else!

The owner was a pleasure to deal with too. She had a list of favorite restaurants, ice cream stands, and places to rent bikes, boats and kayaks. She also helped with navigating the Port Authority as well. It was a wonderful vacation!

We would highly recommend this property. Cindy is a very hands on owner and is available to answer any questions that might come up. The home is extremely comfortable and clean. Everything you could want for a fun family beach vacation is available. As others have stated, the gun club is next door and you will hear the shooting. It is not a constant by any means. The pros of this property greatly outweigh that con.

This is our third stay at this property and as always it was a treat. The location is excellent for touring the island or simply staying home to enjoy the beautiful big yard, or deck, or dock!
Our favorite place is the screened in porch where we have big family dinners. With bed/bath suites for each couple (us and our two adult children) and an extra full bath on the first floor, not to mention the outdoor shower, no one is underfoot. The kitchen is well-equipped and the family room has a wonderful couch and TV for down time or Wimbledon or World Cup Soccer for us, or whatever the kids like. Outdoor and beach toys are abundant and the owners are wonderful to work with.

Beautiful home, amazing property: perfect!

This is our home away from home on Martha's Vineyard. The view is amazing but you still have privacy. The location is perfect - right between Vineyard Haven and Edgartown so you are minutes away from everything! And the home itself is actually LIKE home! The linens are nice, the furnishings are nice, and the kitchen is actually made for people who cook! So many Vineyard rentals are nothing but white walls with one garage-sale picture on the wall, linens from 1995, four spoons, and maybe a fry pan or two - but not this one. This one is just like being at home. And if you're a cook, you will not be disappointed. The kitchen is truly well-stocked with quality cookware and every tool you could use! The décor is superbly well-thought out - beachy and relaxing. It's upscale but not overly formal. The layout is also wonderful for a family with enough bathrooms (NICE, updated bathrooms with fluffy towels!) for everyone. The outside space is our favorite place. It's large and has both an open porch plus a screened in porch, and a spacious yard where the whole family plays corn-hole non-stop. We've been coming to the Vineyard for about 20 years, and we've stayed in this home for a few years now. This is truly the best home and location of anywhere, and we'll be coming here from now on. Finally, Cindy and Ken are wonderful, amazing owners who truly care about their home and their guests. We've been so lucky to find them and their property.

Fantastic!

What a great rental property! The home is immaculate, with everything you need for a stress free vacation. The location is beautiful. We especially enjoyed the dock for fishing and boating. The owners are extremely accommodating and helpful. We highly recommend this beautiful property!

Spectacular Summer Retreat

Our family has been vacationing on MV for 13 years, always renting a home in or near Edgartown. The entire family agreed that this was by far our best experience. This wonderful home on an absolutely stunning piece of property was a perfect setting for a great trip. Every detail to ensure comfort and convenience was carefully attended to. Cindy was an ideal host, promptly answering questions and doing everything she could to make our stay enjoyable. We have already rebooked next years trip here!

Wonderful property for active families

Our family has been returning to The Johnson's home for almost a decade, As our grandchildren get older, they continue to enjoy all this beautiful property has to offer.

The house is always spotless when we arrive. There have been numerous renovations over the years, each thoughtfully expanding the use of indoor and outdoor spaces. The back yard is large enough to have games of Corn Hole, Scatter, and maybe even croquet all going at once. Scavenger hunts all around the grounds are another hit. Some of them sit on the deck and paint, or on a rainy day there's the screened porch for board games. But it's the dock and pond that are the main attractions. They can swim there or paddle board and kayak under the "jumping bridge" and around to State Beach.

The location is perfect for biking in any direction -- into Oak Bluffs or or out to South Beach. You can catch a Vineyaders baseball game just down the road.

Cindy and Ken are very gracious hosts, always attending to any problem immediately, and then asking for suggestions to improve your stay.

We feel lucky to have found their property all those years ago!

Slice of Paradise!

The house is beautiful, bright and well maintained. All the comforts of home and then some! Traveling with a large family, there was plenty of room for everyone to eat, sleep, play games, and still have quiet time when necessary!

Great house. Beautiful setting.

Wonderful house with lovely grounds and a great view. The house was very well equipped and the owners were very eager to make everything perfect for us. The house was large enough for each member of our entire family to have their own privacy yet be together comfortably for group "togetherness."

Great property, great location!

This property is perfect for our family get-away. The kitchen is fully stocked - I mean FULLY! We cooked lobster - they had butter warmers! I mean, if you like to cook this is the place. We clammed right off the dock - got probably 100 of them! Yum. The décor is upscale while still warm and inviting. Linens are included - can't tell you how annoying renting on the Vineyard is when they tell you to wash all your sheets and towels - or even bring your own! I mean, WHAT is it you are renting?! These owners truly understand the needs of families on vacation - they have not missed a single thing. There is a gun range next door but they don't shoot often and seemed to maintain reasonable hours so it really isn't bothersome at all - most of the time you'll forget it's there. The location is convenient to everything, the view cannot be beat, and the home is amazing. If you have discriminating taste this is your relaxation destination.

The perfect getaway

My husband and I joked that it felt like home away from home, only better! The house is lovely and contains all of the comfort and conveniences you should need. There is no need to bring bed linens or kitchen supplies. They provide beach towels, bags, chairs, and toys for the kids. The views from the home are gorgeous and serene, and there are many places to relax outdoors, whether it is their first or second floor decks, the hammock, or the screened in porch. I could go on and on, but we just suggest you take a vacation there yourself- we hope you enjoy as much as we did :)

Another great stay on the Boulevard!

The first thing my grandchildren ask when we get home from the Johnson's is if we'll be returning next year. And we always do go back, as it's so much fun for everyone.

The pond and dock were especially appreciated this summer as it was very hot in New England. Lots of swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking, with jaunts across the water to State Beach. Biking on Chappaquiddick and the surf at serene Wasque Reservation were a welcome retreat as well. In the late afternoon, the lawn games get into full swing, then the deck and screened porch are perfect for dinner. There's a fire pit in the sand for roasting marshmallows. And when you want to go to town for the evening, Edgartown, Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs are all close by. For baseball, the summer league plays right down the road.

Cindy and Ken have done many renovations since we've been going to their home, each time enhancing the space, light and comfort. The house and grounds are very well kept, The view out back and over the marsh is always beautiful, even more so from the new deck off the master bedroom. It's a wonderful vacation spot.

The home was perfect for our family.

We loved the home, and how the owners thought of almost every detail. There were suggested things to do, places to eat, sights to see. We enjoyed our visit tremendously. The view of the sunrise was spectacular and we all enjoyed our dinners on the screened in porch followed by s'mores over the fire pit!

Stellar property with breathtaking view

Our two weeks flew by with gorgeous weather and so much to do! The house is spotless, lovely, completely stocked and comfortable; the linens are top quality and the bathrooms luxurious. We ate in the large screened porch every night; the large table easily accommodated our extra family and friends for lobster dinner! Rosewater and Edgartown Meat & Fish as well as Larsen's Edgartown location were a hit; also enjoyed a fabulous wine dinner at Atria. If you get up early, leave by 7:30 a.m. and run Up Island to Black Dog on State Road and shop at Cronig's...no crowds, no fuss, everything done and no hassle! Our adult kids biked into Edgartown to Rosewater each morning and biked out to Morning Glory for produce for us! Cindy is wonderful to work with. Barn stocked with every beach toy/wading pool/umbrella/chair, etc and more than a dozen beach towels are provided for use. Our kids enjoyed the large yard for games. And if you have a rainy day and want to watch the Olympics (for us, Wimbledon), the TV in the family room is incredible! Did I mention the view?

A wonderful place for our family to gather!

Since arriving home -- anytime life gets hectic, I just close my eyes and picture the view you see on the right. I was up for each incredible sunrise. We enjoyed the dock for fishing, playing in the water with kids, kayaking, cycling (both rentals) around the island. This home was recently redone and it is beautiful, everything you need. There is a skeet shooting range nearby, but the beauty of this home, yard, water, views far outweighed occasional noise.

This is a beautiful, exceptionally comfortable vacation home. We rented this property to celebrate my 40th with a few members of my family. There were six adults and one baby and a small dog and it could not have worked better for us. Everyone had their own space and bathrooms but the common areas were spacious and comfortable for gathering, cooking, playing games, etc. The property is absolutely beautiful and very private. Unfortunately it was quite cool and windy when we were there so we weren't able to take advantage of the outdoors and water as much as we hoped but I can see how it would be a perfect spot for swimming and paddling on warmer days. Every detail in the house has been thought through - there was nothing missing and everything from kitchenware to sheets and towels were of excellent quality. Cindy was a dream to deal with - friendly, helpful and professional. It was a very smooth booking process from start to finish. One word of caution - it is right next to a rod and gun club and while, for the most part, you would never know it, there is the occasional shooting session. As well there was a wedding going on one night we were there, which meant music into the night. I was not particularly bothered by either thing but a couple of people in my party were. Just an fyi. Overall we had a magical vacation and would definitely recommend the property.

Idyllic summer retreat

We booked this property this particular week as our West Coast children, one with a toddler in tow, were coming East for a wedding in NYC. Being Vineyard regulars, I worried about the traffic and the President being on island. All my worries were for nothing! This is a wonderful location, near to Edgartown & Morning Glory farm for shopping, which my daughter and fiance did on bikes (which they rented on a morning jog), and easily accessible to go Up Island too. But why would anyone want to leave? The home and property are exactly as illustrated: new, clean, attractive, comfortable with views, a large yard for fun and access to the warm water of Sengey for swimming and kayaking (just around or over to State Beach) complete with picnic table for lunch, a wonderful new screened porch for dining and a large deck and a great outdoor shower! Communication with the owner was excellent and helpful! Next year we will leave behind the sand toys and extra beach towels as the house was well stocked. There were indoor toys and games too. We were 8 adults and a toddler; one couple used the downstairs den as a bedroom: the pullout queen was most comfortable and the large full bath had plenty of storage. The kitchen is indeed well stocked as described, with excellent pots and pans, dishes, even Tervis tumblers. We brought in cooked lobsters from Larsen's one night and there were stainless butter cups, bowls for shells and crackers and pics for all. How much did we love staying here? We have already booked for next year!

Places we used? Soigne for a special order for dinner; they and the food are fantastic. Rosewater Cafe/Market, new this year was a morning favorite for the bicyclers.

One last note: The Rod & Gun club is indeed next door. We did hear some target practice around noon a few of the days. It didn't bother our toddler and did not last very long and was easy to ignore. Not an issue for us!

IDEAL FAMILY VACATION

This was our first visit to Martha's Vineyard in over 15 years and we could not have found a more perfect location and house! The house and the property had everything we needed and even our teenagers had a great time!! We rented a small boat to get to the beach across the pond so we could enjoy the beautiful Sylvia State beach. We rode bikes every morning and easily took the Vineyard bus into downtown Edgartown for dinner at night. Thank you, Cindy and Ken, for a most memorable vacation!!

Love it!

We have had many years of family vacations at this gorgeous rental. The house is clean and more than well-maintained. Every time we come the owners have improved the house--and this last summer Cindy and Ken did a fantastic new renovation. I can only say nice things--they are the sweetest couple, the house is in a great location-right on the water, it is comfortable and beautiful.

Spacious house, gourmet kitchen, beautiful views

We have rented this great house for 3 years. The large, gourmet kitchen is great for entertaining and is very well equipped. The property and views overlook Sengikontacket Pond - beautiful and private. We love that there are 2 ensuite bathrooms, making it perfect for renting with friends. The house is very clean, well maintained and well furnished. I highly recommend this house for a great Vineyard vacation.

I found this listing five years ago on your website and we have returned every year since. It has been the perfect spot on MV for our extended family.

The house is casual and comfortable -- very well equipped and maintained. The owners are attentive to any concerns and continue to improve the property. We've enjoyed the deck for morning coffee, reading in the afternoon, and barbecues in the evening. The large back yard is great for lawn games.

But the magic begins for our grandchildren when they leave the grass to cross the walkway over the marsh, enter the woods, and come out on the sand to put a kayak or paddle board in the water. They love jumping off the dock and having swimming races to the buoys. We can kayak across the pond and under the bridge to State Beach. The location is also close to the bike path, so we can ride into Edgartown or go the other way to Vineyard Haven. Rain or shine, there's always been something to do. We will be back again.

What a perfect family vacation home - the right mix of elegance and casual living. There is something for everyone. The back yard was a hit - volley ball, golf and jarts.

An amazing vacation house and what can I say about the location. Beautiful views, a swinging hammock, great yard and deck. We had an amazing time from running around outside with the kids, to kayaking or just sitting and admiring the view.

“We have been here for two weeks and had an amazing time. Our children really enjoyed fishing and swimming off the dock. This is a very nice, quiet, beautiful retreat.”

“What a beautiful spot you have on MV. It is a perfect spot for kayaking, relaxing in the hammock and watching the sunset. Your home is beautiful and it has made for a wonderful retreat for us for the week. The view from the backyard is stunning. The kids really loved exploring the little island.”

“Another delightful stay has unfortunately ended. Every year we and our grandchildren love coming here more and more. It’s been a wonderful vacation home for our family”

We had a wonderful time at the house as expected! Thanks so much! Everything was great. June 2010 I just wanted to let you know we had a great time at the house. I feel like the more we go there, the more we appreciate all the little details of the house. I love how you've decorated each and every room! June 2011

We had a fantastic time at your house in Martha's vineyard. and the weather even cooperated in the end.

The house was lovely and we appreciated all your little touches. The herbs were a big hit! The view from your house is incredible. We loved our stay and you have made it a very comfortable environment.

The layout of the house worked out great for us. We do enjoy being on the deck etc and spending lots of time outside. The views are great and we loved the layout, especially having the two family areas. Your home is lovely and we had a wonderful vacation.
