Amazing Cottage in Terrific Edgartown Village Location!
Edgartown Vacation Rental - ID 27072

We just completed our third extended-family vacation at this beautiful property. We are a family of six adults (three couples) and four grandchildren (ages 3 months to 10 years). This year we rented the home for one week, last year we rented for two weeks, and in our first year we rented it for one week. We have been vacationing on the Vineyard for seven years now and this is the third different property we have rented.

For our seven years we have rented in Edgartown because we love the walking access to the village (dinner, drinks, shopping, entertainment), the proximity to State Beach (great for children) and South Beach/Katama but most especially because of the access to Black Point Beach which is unparalleled and is the way MV used to be.

We have loved the dining room which we understand was once a boathouse and we share our family meals there. We have also loved the spacious living room where we can all gather to talk, share a beverage, or work on a jigsaw puzzle. The patio is a wonderful place to gather as well; private (abuts Sheriff Meadow), and provided with grill, picnic table and comfortable seating. There's usually a bocce game underway on the lawn. The kitchen is well equipped if a bit small for a large group (but we managed). The outdoor shower extremely useful; in fact, we rarely use the bathroom showers. The beds comfortable and the bedrooms of ample size. The master bedroom with its large bath, bed, TV and deck is especially nice.

For our family, we found the guest house only useable for adults. Its proximity to the street and distance from the house made us uncomfortable to use it for young children alone. We also found the stairs leading to the "dorm" bedroom (3 twins) above the dining room a bit challenging for children the age of our children. The stairs, however have hand rails, are well-lit, and there's a half bath in the bedroom so no one has to wander at night.

Our host has been tremendous. His communication is outstanding and he's always interested in learning how he might improve the experience. He's made changes over the years we've rented here so we know he's listening to people he shares his home with. show more show less

For the past six years now, my family has been vacationing on Martha's Vineyard. Three or so years ago we were looking for a new location to house our growing family and some friends for a summer week. We came upon this home and were blown away. Not only is it well maintained but it's extremely well-situated in the heart of Edgartown and only a brief walk to main street as well as the local beach. My kids have been making some wonderful memories in the backyard playing ball and running around. The home has ample space and as you can tell from the picture(s), really has that MV charm! The landlord Rick, is a VERY reasonable and kind person who makes himself available and is always asking for ways he can help to improve the experience. The vacation we take staying at this home will be times my family will never forget. Looking forward to doing it again next year! show more show less

This home is a talented blending of old and new architecture, with picturesque island glimpses from each and every window. The location combines the peace and quiet of being away from it all, along with easy access to the hub of Edgartown's Main Street and lovely adjacent lanes. Those in-the-know about Edgartown will find this a perfect spot. The house borders the many paths of Sheriff's Meadow, which provide fabulous walks and easy access to the Yacht Club's tennis facilities and fabulous views of Eel Pond and Nantucket Sound.

The house is fully and beautifully furnished and does not lack a thing. Three ensuite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy to all who visit. Entertaining is a breeze, with a cleverly-designed kitchen, historic dining room, great living room with an adjacent bar, and a grill deck, too. In addition, there is a stone patio as well as a new outdoor shower.

The master bedroom provides a wonderful retreat with a lovely water view deck, spa-like master bath and is furnished with lovely mahogany antiques. The house is air-conditioned and has paddle fans in the living room and master bedroom.

Another amenity is that of having a key to Black Point Beach in Chilmark. It's an incredible place to visit and the vast beach takes you back decades to what all Vineyard beaches were once like. It's a great way to explore up-island, too.

The home's owner is very friendly and anxious to please his tenants. He is a long-time Vineyard visitor and knows everything about the island. You'll find lots of suggestions for dining out and other activities at the house. It would be difficult to imagine not having a perfect visit to Martha's Vineyard, should you ever stay at this home. show more show less
