Walk to harbor/Walk to in-town beaches/Bike to South Beach
Edgartown Vacation Rental - ID 37105

Amazing location! This beautiful 2,350 sq ft house is located on a private, quiet, and peaceful side road, easily walkable to downtown Edgartown and in-town beaches and bikable to South Beach on the Atlantic Ocean. The property sits on over half an acre and feels expansive, with the house set back behind a huge yard. The house is a three minute walk to the Katama General Store, a 10–15 minute walk to Edgartown harbor along stunning South Water Street, and about a 15 minute bike ride to South Beach along the right fork bike path in Katama (1/10 of a mile down the road). It is walkable to a number of smaller beaches in Edgartown.

The house has a large master bedroom on the first floor with a king bed and a slider door to the deck, with space for an optional Japanese-style twin futon to be added (great for children). It has a large attached master bath with a standalone shower and a large Jacuzzi tub. On the second floor, one bedroom has a king bed and also space for another optional Japanese-style twin futon in an alcove, and the other bedroom has two twins (unbunked) — both upstairs bedrooms have an almost tree-house-like-feel with all of the windows looking out to surrounding trees. The second floor bath has a combination of shower and Jacuzzi tub and is located just outside of the king bedroom.

All beds are high quality for a comfortable night's sleep! There is an outdoor shower conveniently accessible from the master bedroom slider doors and also the main slider doors in the living room. (Also, in case you need to get some work done during your stay, there is one desk and office chair located in the first floor master bedroom and another desk and office chair in the bedroom with the two twin beds.)

The house features newly painted walls and new sinks and faucets throughout, cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, an open second floor looking down into the living room, and large windows. The house is south facing so it is sunny and bright. The house has a superbly-functioning central air conditioning system, and, otherwise, there are ceiling fans in each bedroom and window screens in place to enjoy the fresh island air.

For off-season getaways, there is a stone wood burning fireplace for use with fire logs. Perfect for holiday getaways!

The kitchen has top quality stainless steel appliances and all the dishware/utensils/pots/pans you will need to cook and grill too from the back deck using the large Weber grill (with attached burner). There is a large table in the dining room that can accommodate up to 6–8 people. In the living room, there is a huge smart TV (65'') above the fireplace (with satellite television) and an enormous sectional couch that fits 6 or more adults and children comfortably. There is also a second smart TV (52'') located in the master bedroom on the first floor.

The yard is perfect for lawn games, and the wrap-around front porch is a wonderful, relaxing place to watch the sun go down. The expansive back deck is an ideal spot for morning coffee amid the sunshine, outdoor dining (seats 6 to 8), and nighttime gatherings amid the stars and on moonlit nights (check out our pictures for outdoor dining and deck chair layout).

There are a number of beaches that you can walk to including a small beach just off of South Water Street on the way to the village by the Reading Room, Lighthouse Beach a bit farther, and Fuller Beach which again is a bit farther. You can easily bike to South Beach along the wide bike path, or if you drive, parking is easy and free (left or right fork entrance). A 8-10 minute drive (or 20 minute bike ride) through town will take you to State Beach, which is a great option for swimming. There are many beautiful beaches outside of Edgartown across the island as well!

Crisp white linens, towels, and blankets along with pillows are provided through a linen service and are included in the rental price--this ensures the utmost cleanliness and guarantees a smooth check in and check out. Nevertheless, there is a washer/dryer room on the first floor for your personal use.

There is a Sharper Image massage chair in the master bedroom for your relaxation, and yoga mats can be found in each bedroom. For added fun, there is a chess table in the living room that can be converted into a backgammon board.

Finally, information on securing bike rentals, beach chairs and other beach supplies, and/or baby equipment well as ferry reservation information can be provided, upon request. We look forward to hearing from you and are happy to answer any of your questions. read more show less
