Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Katama
We work hard and have a busy, active life with our three children. Our first vacation on Martha's Vineyard stunned us with how relaxing and peaceful it was, really allowing us to kick back, but never be bored. Also, the miles of safe bike paths, and sidewalks made it easy to let our kids ride their bikes and run over to friends' houses without getting into the car - - some much needed, old fashioned freedom which we all loved. We had to own a piece of that for ourselves and we were delighted to find this house, a short stroll from the beach, in our favorite neighborhood.

Dear Breig Family, We cannot thank you enough for sharing your darling home with us! From the great CDs you provided (our 10 yr old loved the selections of Coldplay and the Jo Bros), the family games, the classic book library, the extensive list of recommendations and ideas for things ro do - - who needs a concierge! We now share your love for the Vineyard! We enjoyed the night sky through our telescope, the Corn Maze at the Farm Institute, the Mytoi Japanese Gardens, South Beach, and the many bike paths, the delicious cuisine, the local artistry, the breath taking sunsets, and most of all the delightful locals. Our families have summered and wintered together for over 20 yrs. Your home and the fun we shared together will be in our hearts forever! We are grateful to you all for all your hospitality. It is evident that much love and creativity went into designing and decorating this warm and inviting home. . . . If only the entire world could share the peacefulness of ths island, its visitors, and the locals. If you are ever in Baltimore, please visit us!

We've been coming to MV together for 5 years looking for the perfect house and this is it. Beautiful, simple, and comfortable. We had amazing weather. Our favorite days were at the Long Pond Reservation and our favorite night was at Detente and dancing at the Atlantic. What a week!!

We will forever remember our first family vacation with our new baby in your beautiful MV home. The house is just gorgeous; the location just perfect. We had a fabulous time and the baby couldn't get enough of collecting shells and digging at the beach. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

What a wonderful home you have created! We thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Not enough time to do everything or eat everywhere, so must return again. We had a great day at the Cliffs at Gay Head, had a plate of cherry stone clams and brought home a wonderful swordfish steak for dinner on your Weber grill. Doesn't get much better than that! Thank you so much for the privilege of sharing this lovely home and the charm of the Vineyard.

This is a beautiful summer house! We always want to go home early from our vacations. This time we wish we could stay. Hope to be back next year. Thank you for making everything so nice for guests you don't even know. You epitomize gracious hospitality.

Love the location, being able to just jump on our bikes and be right at the beach/or Katama General Store for newspapers in the a.m., or breakfast at Katama Airfield. One thing you have done really well at the house for guests is you've thought of so many little things/details! Flashlights and games for teens, and instructions for t.v., trash pick up etc., awesome!
