About this property
This Romantic Cottage is Simply a Cut Above -
This cottage is truly for the discriminating vacationer, very romantic and beautifully appointed. As you walk in you will notice a mosaic inlaid with flip flops... so inviting. The open floor plan feels spacious with volume ceilings throughout and is oh so comfortable. The living room has two leather couches that are right in front of the gas fireplace...bring on the ambiance! The living room also features a large flat screen TV with both HDTV and Firestick service. The kitchen is well appointed with a lot of counter space that won't disappoint anyone who loves to cook. We have both a Weber charcoal grill and a Weber gas grill for our guests to use. We have also tucked in a full size washer and dryer. The bedroom suite is very spacious with a cathedral ceiling and has a very comfortable king size bed, 2 night tables, 2 dressers, a flat screen TV, and a large walk-in closet. The full bath is to die for with a whirlpool and both indoor and outdoor showers. This home is quality built with upgraded textures including oak floors, tumble marble, & limestone accents. Unlike many Vineyard rentals, we have added central air and a garage (for those who may bring their convertible, or motorcycle). The garage also provides a great covered spot for your bicycles which we strongly encourage you to bring as we are located just off the bike path. Two people maximum, no pets, & non-smokers only, as we try to keep this property super clean and allergen free. Beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach blanket and many more conveniences are included. Perfectly located approximately 1 mile from town (Edgartown) & 1 mile to South Beach, right off the bike path. Relax on the front porch in a pair of Adirondack chairs or flex your muscles at our private basketball court which doubles as a pickleball court. Positively immaculate. We never rent our main house so my family is in tune with your enjoyment of the property. Once you rent this gem it will be hard to go anywhere else! PS: Currently all VTA (Vineyard Transit Authority) buses are free until 9/30/25. So if you don’t wish to take your car over, you can easily get around. Busses also have bike racks on the front so you can ride to another town and bike around it.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

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.

Awesome little cottage for a great weekend away! Went to the Vineyard for a wedding and it was so close to all the sights! Would suggest for any couple looking to enjoy time at Martha's Vineyard

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Sept 2022
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!

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.

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.

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
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.
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!!

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!

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!

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,
Karen
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!

Thanks for the glowing review, Steve. Please return and thank you for your care of our home during your stay. I hope the next time the weather is a little more cooperative. You were a great guest.
The property is amazing and its the perfect house for a romantic couples getaway. The house is 1 mile from Edgartown and about the same distance to south beach. The house is located where at most, a 35 min drive to the other side of the island. Theres plenty to see and do on marthas vineyard. Karen the owner kept in contact with us throughout the weekend asking if we needed anything. We will definetly be back!

Awesome Guest House
The Guest House in Katama is a great spot. When we arrived the home was immaculate...it lives up to all the reviews and the pictures don't do it justice. It's in a perfect location right outside of downtown Edgartown, easily within walking or biking distance. Even with the weather not cooperating one day the Guest House was a quiet retreat to relax in. It was just what we were looking for and we had a great time staying here. I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this rental surely deserves it. It will not disappoint.
Also, the owner (Karen) was very helpful and attentive which was just an added bonus to our trip.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Berwick
I am a Realtor and I travel a lot. I wanted to build a really comfortable and first class vacation home based on my experiences. I designed this home and filled it with great materials and terrific amenities. Our past tenants return year after year...best compliment ever!
Why they chose this property
If you are looking for romance, or just a well appointed and immaculate place in a fabulous location...this guest cottage is for you. Two people only, no pets and non-smokers. This policy has kept this place looking gorgeous. Close to everything and right off the bike path. The fact that the majority of our guests return year after year speaks to the desirability of this rental.
What makes this property unique
Two flat screen TVs, two person whirlpool, beautiful tiled shower, central air, gas heat, gas fireplace, fully applianced kitchen plus a full size washer & dryer, king size bed, cathedral ceilings, covered front porch, large out door shower with hot & cold running water, garage, all hardwood & tile floors, all on one level. Huge yard, beach chairs, umbrella, plenty of cooking utensils including a lobster pot. This is a great place and we are so proud of it. Our goal is to exceed your expectations.
