Award-Winning-Design Home with Pool, near Long Point Beach
Edgartown Vacation Rental - ID 27182

The perfect summer getaway was the term my own 7-year-old daughter used to refer to our stay here at the end of June/beginning of July. The house is beautiful and combines the best of the charm of Martha's Vineyard with the advantages of a home built relatively recently so that it has modern and high-end conveniences along with an open design with high ceilings more typical of newer homes. This makes it perfect for a large family or an extended family since there is an amazing Great Room at the center of the home (one that I will definitely keep in mind if I ever build my own house).

Our daily routine here consisted of spending some morning time with the kids at the house being lazy (and there are many spots to be comfortably lazy, the porch was my favorite), then making our way to the nearby Long Point Reserve for some beach time (it's very close by), then coming back for some afternoon time in the pool, using the grill and patio area for some dinner, and a soak in the hot tub.

The location is quiet, and our kids loved watching the bunnies and wild turkeys that would occasionally make their way across the yard. The pool is solar heated and was quite warm which was a pleasant surprise, warmer than many of the other outdoor heated pools that I have experienced. The owners are great, friendly, and easy to talk to if anything is needed, and their home is on the other side of the pool, but everything is spread out enough to provide privacy and isolation. This home and the property overall have been a labor of love for them and it shows. It's a fairly short drive into the center of Edgartown so it's easy to get groceries or go out for ice cream with the kids. Morning Glory Farm is even closer for some fresh produce and baked goods. We definitely hope to go back again. show more show less

My husband and I have been staying in the smaller home on this property for several years for four weeks every July. Our adult children always join us for about a week. When our son and daughter-in-law had a baby two years ago, we realized we needed more room, and so have been staying at the "big house" ever since. The house is immaculate, well equipped with amenities, roomy and is so nicely decorated, it could easily be featured in any house and home magazine. It is so homey and lends itself to easy family living. Betty Jean even supplies sand and pool toys for our grandson!! We feel so comfortable here that, as stated in the review title, we consider this to be our second home. Highly, highly recommended. show more show less

We had a wonderful week staying in this beautiful home. We were fortunate to have great weather, so we were able to do a lot of fun activities. We enjoyed going to Long Point Beach, paddling across Tiah's Cove to the big beach, and biking around the forest trail. The owners of this property are very friendly and helpful with lots of great tips and ideas. The property is meticulously maintained inside and out. The landscaping is beautiful - sitting on the front porch and enjoying the meadow view with a cup of coffee was so peaceful. The back patio is perfect for outdoor dinners. We hope to return again! show more show less

My family of 6 stayed in the larger house and my sister's family of 4 and Dad stayed in the smaller house. We had 3 teenagers and 3 adults in the larger house and we were very comfortable with the ample space. Very nice to have en-suite baths for three rooms. We loved the ease of passing back and forth between each house, and the shared pool was wonderful on days that we did not make it to the beach. We also enjoyed both hot tubs. The kitchens were fully stocked with any tools you may need for a week's stay; we cooked most nights at home. It was helpful that beach towels, chairs, and linens were provided so that we didn't have to pack those ourselves. We very much enjoyed our stay and would love to come back for another family vacation! show more show less

From the minute we arrived at this home, we knew we had made a good choice. The property is impeccably maintained and attractive, with a beautiful yard and a swimming pool. The house that we stayed in could not have been more lovely. Tastefully decorated, comfortable and clean. The kitchen is a gourmet style that allowed us to cook for ourselves on the nights that we just wanted to stay at home and enjoy a quiet evening. Plenty of sleeping arrangements, and the beds were like being at a luxury hotel.

Bill and Betty Jean were more that willing to tell us about the sites we should see and were available to give us a ride to the ferry on a day that a family member had to return home. The days that we stayed at the house were enjoyed at the pool and in the hot tub. It was a wonderful vacation from beginning to end. What made it so great was the place we stayed!! 5 star rating for sure! show more show less

My husband and I spent a wonderful week at this delightful rental. The house is so comfortable, lots of space, well equipped and has all the amenities of home. Our grandchildren visited for four days and loved the pool and outdoor jacuzzi. The owners, Bill and Betty Jean, are great people and live on the property. They are very accommodating and suggested lots of places for us to check out. If you're looking for a quiet place with all the comforts of home, then this is for you! We highly recommend this rental and will definitely return! show more show less

The pictures do not come close to beauty and tranquility of this property. The location was perfect, just 10 minutes to everything. When you pull up the driveway it's like your own private estate. Wild flower fields, green lawn and beautiful saltwater pool.

We rented this house for a family vacation with our grown children and grandchildren. It was perfect. Large, open, completely stocked kitchen, dining table for 10+. The house was tastefully decorated and immaculate with plenty of space for everyone to retreat to their own space. There was nothing missing. We wondered about hearing planes overhead being close to the airport, but never heard one. The owners are lovely people who were responsive and helpful in everything from the property to the best beaches for small children.

We had a wonderful week and would highly recommend this property. Denise and Roger P show more show less
