Location: Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, USA (our house is a quick walk to Main Street and all major shops)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Keywords: cape/unique cozy Post & Beam
Our home is a unique comfortable family home. Located just .2 mile from Main Street down town Edgartown on a quiet, private road. Very large yard with lush gardens and a nice hidden patio with lighting and sound system. Very Island-y neighborhood has a nice mix of families and neighbors as well as vacationers. We rent very little so our home is most comfortable with lots of amenities not found in your typical rental.
Walk to town and never have to park or sit in summer traffic! Bike to beaches and/or other towns! So many restaurants and activities within .5 mile from our home!
Off Season is the best kept secret and our favorite time here. Access to the whole Island becomes much more available and the beaches are still warm with beautiful blue skies. Nights are filled with starry skies and cool breezes.

The Unique Benefits of this House
Our home is so close to town and centrally located that your options are unlimited. So many things to do that in all our years here we are still finding new things on the Island to do and visit.
We love to hike all parts of the Island that are not accessible during peak season.
We also love to run/walk all around and Edgartown.
The beach options are awesome and so close to home.
4 wheel- bike, walk, there are beaches for all within very close proximity from our house!
Great dining options, shopping, lots of great trails for walking.
Many art galleries and unique sights all around!
Town to town the Island changes and keeps it interesting!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your home. The location was perfect! We walked or rode our bikes often. The house was very comfortable and everyone enjoyed the patio for outdoor dinners! Thanks so much for your recommendations for activities and locations not to miss! We would add the beach at Aquinnah as a highlight!! Your home is charming and tastefully yet comfortably decorated.....we would love to return another time!
Owner response:Thanks!

Hi Robin, The house was just terrific! Really comfortable and homey - so much nicer than the business vacation rentals that are usually available. We loved the patio and the well stocked kitchen. How lovely to actually have sharp knives and good pans to cook with! I had no idea that the summer traffic would be so bad so we were really grateful to be able to walk into town (which we did almost every night) and ride our bikes to the beaches and the ferry. We also loved the outdoor shower so much that we never even used the inside ones! Since we were there during one of the hottest weeks of the year, we were very happy to have air conditioning - there were a couple of nights that would have been tough to sleep even if you were outside. All of the recommendations that you gave us were spot on - thanks for being so helpful! I really have no negative feedback and certainly no complaints. Maybe a few minor points of advice for future guests. The compartments for the soap and softener on the washing machine are not obvious, you may want to label them. You did advise that guests may wish to bring their own sheets but you may also want to add that your high efficiency washing machine takes much longer to do a load of wash than most regular machines so if they are doing many sets of sheets it will take 4-5 hours to get them done. And lastly, we did a lot of fun stuff - windsurfing, kayaking, parasailing, jet skiing etc. If you have any brochures or recommendations and phone numbers for those that you would like to support, that might be helpful to leave with the keys.

We made the trip home this afternoon, we had a great week on the island. The house was terrific and just as described. We enjoyed that the kitchen had a nice array of items for cooking, which we often find lacking in rental properties. The back patio and dining room were great for sitting, eating, etc. The yard and plants were very nice too.

Robin- hi. We are waiting for the ferry -we had a great week - we loved the house and over the winter we should speak to see if/when you are going to rent it again - as we would strongly consider renting again from you guys. The location was perfect for us- we walked a lot to town. . Overall, everything was great.
