The Katama neighborhood is one of the island's most popular. South Beach is only one mile from the house, and features excellent waves, long beaches and beautiful sunsets. Edgartown is about one and a half miles from the house, and is the historic base of island whalers. You'll find beautiful colonial homes, churches and gardens winding down quaint narrow streets filled with wonderful shops, restaurants and attractions. Edgartown Great Pond is also close by, with access for kayaks and small boats. Oak Bluffs and State Beach are less than ten minutes away, for more tranquil beaches and another quaint historic town.

The Unique Benefits at this House
There is nothing quite like Martha's Vineyard, I love the feeling of getting away from it all, proximity to breath taking beaches, and cozy comforts of this home.

As a first time renter from a website, I was a little leary about renting from someone I didn't know. However, once we got to this great house, all of my worries went away. This home is beautiful, perfect for a family with teenagers. My daughter brought her boyfriend and her best friend. They enjoyed the downstairs of the house immensely, as they had their own area, including a nice bathroom and their own T.V. If they wanted to, they could just go downstairs and relax. The upstairs of the house has the cutest kitchen you could ever imagine! As our ENTIRE week consisted of RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, the dining room table worked out perfectly for those long nights of strategic game playing (of which I didn't win at all!). My favorite part of the house is the wrap around deck with the great barbecue and nice patio set. Yes, we barbecued rain or shine and the kids really loved eating outside. Have I mentioned the beautiful pool? Probably not, because we got to look at it, it looks wonderfully inviting, but thanks to Mother Nature, I didn't even get to dabble my feet in the water! Go in July, hope for sunshine! This house is worth every penny that you're spending to rent it and more! It is very clean, relaxing and inviting. The four kids spread themselves out reading a book or watching T.V. AND it is very relaxing hearing the rain hit the skyroof! I highly recommend this house and we had a great time despite the very crummy weather. The owner even provides plenty of books and music to keep you entertained. Oh yeah, there is a cute little grocery store right down the street if you need milk or their DELICIOUS scones. Honestly, it was the most relaxing vacation we ever had!

We had a wonderful time on Martha's vineyard and enjoyed your house very much. It was a life saver having the pool, it was great.

We have been back from our vacation for a week now and miss your beautiful house. We were the beneficiaries of all your hard work and great taste. The house was perfect in every way, the layout, the comfortable, beautiful furnishings, the incredible deck and the pool was just a huge vineyard bonus. There wasn't anything we would recommend changing, best house we have stayed in for a very long time. Our weather was perfect and my husband read 3 books, we went to the beach every day but one. So thank you for all the time and effort that went into making this so perfect. We had a splendid vacation.

Just wanted to send you a few comments after our wonderful stay at your house on MV. We both loved the deck and the living area, these are very comfortable places to hang out. In my case, a great vacation includes a lot of time in a comfy chair with a book and a cold drink, so this worked out very well indeed. While we always bring books, your library certainly had a great selection. The kitchen was quite well stocked. The location worked out very well too. We bicycled over to the RightFork diner many times, and on down to South Beach from there. Whenever we return to MV we'll check with you to see if your house is available for our vacation.
