This is the fourth house we've rented on Martha's Vineyard (always Edgartown) and the best one so far. It is in the perfect location - just a few blocks from the shops, art galleries and restaurants of Edgartown but tucked away on a very quiet side street. You don't even need a car or bike because everything is so close (including the bus stop) but there is a place to park 2-3 cars. The house itself is spacious, bright, well-stocked, and nicely decorated, with loads of books everywhere. We were six people and the three main house bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were more than adequate for our needs. The bedrooms were a good size, reading nooks were present in the upper two bedrooms, and the beds themselves were quite comfortable. There was also a living room and a separate family room so we were able to spread out. The family room was bright and airy and had games and puzzles to keep the kids occupied. We also had everything we needed in the kitchen and laundry area and very much appreciated that there were beach towels and beach chairs to use. There is a pleasant back/side yard as well, which could be made more useable with a slightly different outdoor furniture configuration. The owner was also excellent to work with - responsive and helpful, reminding us of key dates like car ferry reservations and local events. I would strongly recommend this home, particularly based upon our experience of having rented three other houses within blocks of this one. show more show less

This spacious, beautiful home should be your first choice when planning a trip to the Vineyard. Located just a few short blocks from the coffee shop, waterfront and enchanting shopping area of Edgartown, this property had everything I needed for making many lovely memories, from a well supplied kitchen to ample fluffy towels, pillows and luxurious linens. This home is suited to all families and groups. If you have teens who would like to feel some "independence" there is a cottage for sleeping but requires coming indoors to use the "facilities". If you have small children you have the option of sleeping on the same floor as the children or on separate levels from them. Children would, also, enjoy the large. fenced yard. Evenings were so cozy with two very large areas for either tv watching, reading, conversation or other quiet pursuits. I spent a lovely vacation in this home and would highly recommend it and its very pleasant owner for your vacation. show more show less

We just returned from spending the holidays in this home, and it was perfect. The home is open and airy, with plenty of beautifully appointed space for the whole family to relax, spread out, and enjoy themselves. The beds are very comfortable, which you don't always find in rental properties, and the bathrooms are lovely. The kitchen is well stocked, and the layout is such that you could entertain easily. Part of what we love so much about this house is the proximity to everything - it's a two minute walk to a coffee shop, bookstore, loads of restaurants and bars, and a five minute walk to the harbor. You can also easily walk to the lighthouse and the beach that looks over the harbor at Chappaquidick. We would stay again and again - loved everything about it! show more show less
