Our stay here was very pleasant! Karen was the most gracious host—very responsive, friendly, and kind. My husband and I come to the island every year and would absolutely love to stay here again!

We would love to have you back! So happy you enjoyed your stay. Mary and I really do want to exceed people’s expectations! Have a safe journey home.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It’s a great location for all the activities on the island. We found a AMC book there with amazing hiking, biking and paddling spots. Had fun on the pickleball court too. Would stay again. Karen’s sheets and towels are great and the kitchen is well stocked. Next time I might bring my own sheets or a towel so we don’t have to worry about laundry on the last day.

Thank you so very much for this great review. Please return to the Vineyard for a full week at least and we hope you will remember us on Metells Way. Thanks again and glad you had a wonderful trip.
Fantastic place to stay as a couple. Convenience of a kitchen, washer, and dryer. Great location to beach and restaurants. Owner is very helpful and responsive.

Thanks for the review, Nick, and thanks for leaving my place so nice! We hope you return!
Great for two people- well supplied in kitchen - bathroom with shower and separately with tub with jets. Outside covered porch very comfortable. Owner responds quickly to questions.
Fully stocked guest cottage with outdoor shower and indoor shower and whirlpool. Halfway between South Beach and Edgartown center. Great location! You are responsible for laundry if you use the owner’s linens.

Thank you Vamsee for the 5 stars! To be clear guests have 3 choices when it comes to linens.
Bring your own, rent them, or use mine for free but you need to wash, dry , and return them to linen closet before leaving. I do supply full size washer and dryer in the cottage and detergent and fabric softener. Renting a home is a little different than getting a hotel room but the savings is amazing and you get so much more… like a private home, gas fireplace, whirlpool tub, kitchen, yard, 2 decks etc. We are very proud of what we offer. Thank you for your care of our home away from home!
Cottage was very cozy and clean - and most importantly had a well stocked kitchen to allow for meal preparation. Grounds are very well kept and the location is perfect to get to both South Beach and the center of Edgartown. Karen was great in allowing us to check-in early on arrival day and the end-to-end process was seamless!

Thank you so much for the great review!
The off season on MV is so peaceful. So glad you had an enjoyable time!
Had a wonderful time on Martha’s Vineyard. This guest house was great, clean, well-equipped and the host, Karen, was responsive and I enjoyed my stay while on the island. It is a great rental for one or two guests maximum in the Katama area near South Beach, close to Edgartown and Morning Glory Far. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of renting this guest house. I will definitely rent it again.

Linda, you were a pleasure to have as a guest. Thank you for your care of our home. I am so glad you had marvelous weather and a relaxing time. Please come again!
We had a wonderful week staying at Karen’s home. Pictures do not do it justice. Beautiful inside and out. Karen was extremely responsive to a minor request. We recommend staying here.

Fantastic!!!
We are so happy we stayed here! Amazing house and location. It was exactly what both of us needed to relax and unwind. The home is so comfortable with everything that you will need to experience the joy of MV. Thank you so much Karen!

Hi Billie! Thank you for taking the time to write a review and I am sooooo glad you thought our little cottage was "fantastic"! Please make it your unwind place and come back again and again. Glad you had some nice weather to go along with it. Karen
Property was immaculate! Super clean and In excellent condition ! Definitely the nicest Place In terms of condition we have stayed with VRBO. The grounds were beautiful too.Large grass area containing nice pickleballCourt. Easy 1 mi commute toEdgartown. We had E bikes , it took about 4 min to town. Then we used UBER a few times. About 10 each way. (In late May)Karen was available by phone always and was there at main house the last couple days . There is also a garage to keep a car or bikes in .I would highly recommend this rental to any couple who appreciates the details and is willing to put some cleaning effort in the day of departure as all laundry , dishes etc are expected to be done and put away upon Departure.

Hi David,
Loved having you and your wife. Just so guests know, we don’t charge a cleaning fee and we actually do have it sanitized when you leave. We just ask that guests that choose to use our complimentary linens return them clean to the linen closet or guests can rent linens. We do supply a full size washer & dryer and cleaning supplies and check out at 11 am is pretty late compared to many. 900 sqft is easy peasy. Thank you for leaving it so nice and we hope you will return.
This guest house is a beautiful home right off of a secluded dirt road. The property is extremely comfortable, and it felt like home away from home. Karen was a great host that was very thorough with ensuring all went well. The pickleball court and basketball goal were huge advantages! Every room is fully stocked with anything you need. Will def return in the future!!

The Perfect Place!
My husband and I stayed at this beautiful cottage for a week for our honeymoon. It was absolutely beautiful and exactly as the pictures show. While it was a bit cool due to the time of year that we visited, we enjoyed exploring the island. The cottage is located within walking distance to Edgartown, a lovely little town that we thoroughly enjoyed. We rented bikes one day and spent the afternoon exploring various parts of the island. The home was beautiful and perfect to relax in. We loved everything about our stay!!
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 6, 2020
It is always great to get such a nice review! We have had many honeymooners and several have returned. It is our hope that people walk away with wonderful memories!

This home is beautiful!
This home is just what we hope for, beautifully decorated, very comfortable, totally every thing we needed was there! Oh, did I mention a very comfortable king size bed! We only had bikes with us, but found that everything we needed was close enough to ride to. Karen was a delight to work with! Will return!

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! And thank you for your care of our home! Please return.
Such a beautiful cottage for a Martha’s Vineyard stay. The home is very clean and nicely designed and furnished; kitchen is well equipped for cooking and grilling; location is great, about 2 miles from the beach and close to Edgartown. The owner kept in touch and we appreciated how responsive she was to any question we had about the island. We visited in late April, and although that is not technically “high season,” it was a lovely time to visit. We had great weather; many shops and restaurants were open; no crowds or traffic and lots of parking to be found; and the beaches were empty for those who like beach walking…I highly recommend the island and this property.

So happy you enjoyed your stay and I was very happy to see you had such nice weather. Thank you for your care of our home. We hope you return again and again. The "shoulder seasons" are indeed nice with less crowds and a peacefulness about the beaches and hiking trails. Thank you for this lovely review.

Fabulous rental!
We have vacationed on the Vineyard several times, but this is the first time my husband and I were able to get away alone. As soon as we arrived at this beautiful cottage we knew that it was something special. Everything was clean and tastefully decorated, and sunlight filled the rooms. The king sized bed was very comfortable. It was very well stocked with everything that you might need for a comfortable vacation. We loved it so much that we have already reserved the same week next year!

Lee Ann,
It was so thoughtful of you to write this very nice review! Glad you had a great week and the compliment of your returning is priceless!
Thank you,

Beautiful cottage with everything you could ask for!
Karen’s cottage was not only meticulous, but beautifully equipped with anything and everything you could possibly ask for! My husband and I celebrated our 40th anniversary in the Vineyard, and the cottage made it extra special! Its location was minutes away from the beach, shopping and the quaint harbor area, and getting around was a breeze. Every detail was thought out, and Karen was a pleasure to deal with! I wish we were still there! Highly recommend this beautiful cottage!

Jodie, we loved having you and it is wonderful that you have reached such an anniversary milestone! Thank you for your great care of my guest house and this delightful review! Please come again and again!
While the weather could have been better for our early October week on the island, the cottage was perfect for us as a home base to explore the island as well as settle down for the night. Gas fireplace is wonderful for a chilly evening and everything is set-up to relax and enjoy your time there. We cooked in a few nights and everything we needed we had. Cottage was in perfect working order and ultra clean and area was very quiet and conveniently located. Highly recommend!
